The moment you have been waiting for

I was soo busy all weekend that I did not have time to cut up all your comments to the Giveaway Post and pull one out of an actual hat ... instead I told the Beau to choose a number between 1 and 53. This was much quicker and was totally legit because he had no idea about the giveaway :)

Okay so the Drum Roll, please .........

He chose #37! The lucky 37th commenter is Petunia! Yay!

Choosing the winner of the second umbrella was a bit tough because so many of you had such great, helpful suggestions. If I was a millionaire I would send all 53 of you monogrammed umbrellas! Thanks to all of you for offering your advice!!!

Many of you suggested Etsy and it is a great tool but, as mentioned, it is more for people who are hand-making products. You see, we don't hand make nothin :) But we sure can buy it and sell it!

We decided to award Sasha the second umbrella for her suggestion of starting a blog and adding pay-pal. If the blog grows we can then think about doing a traditional website. I think this will be a great start! Plus, Sasha is super good with the technical aspects of a blog so we may can convince her to help!!! I will let you all know when the blog is up and running!

Petunia and Sasha: Please send me an email and let me know whether you would like a pink or green umbrella, what you want as your monogram, and where you want it shipped!

This was fun girls and we will do it again real soon! A couple of you mentioned that you would like to purchase an umbrella even if you didn't win. If you are still interested, you can send me an email as well and we will work something out!

Due to inclement weather around the country we are having a GIVEAWAY!

I am hosting my own giveaway because I am just that sweet and I knew many of you could use one of these ...

Do you like? I hope so! Seriously, I am really sweet but I could also use some help. These 'brellas are coming from my mom's store. She has owned a store in our town for about 8 years and she carries stationery, invitations and gifts. It is kinda like a small-town version of Swoozies. We love Swoozies! But anyways, I think that she really needs a website so all the lovely preppies of the world can buy all our preppy lovely things. So this is the kick-off!

Preppy, Lovely Item of the Month #1: The Monogrammed Umbrella in Pink with Brown trim or Lime with Brown trim.

To win one of these 'brellas, in your choice of pink or green, all you have to do is leave me a nice lil comment by Sunday at midnight. Easy enough? I told you I was sweet :)

But wait, you forgot I needed some help! The mutha, nor I, have any idea where to begin in creating a website. So, if there is anyone out there who can give me any good, easy advice on building this website I will give away a second umbrella, also in your choice of pink or green. And we don't need any fancy-shmancy site ... just something basic where we can sell her stuff!

Okay, so I am giving away 1 umbrella just because I am sweet and all you have to do is leave a comment. I will randomly draw a name out of a hat to see who the lucky lady is. Again, I will draw the name Sunday at midnight. I will give away the 2nd umbrella to the smarty-pants who gives me the best and EASIEST advice. However, if I don't get any advice it is no prob, I will just give away the one 'brella.

Until Sunday ... I will pray for no bad weather!
