Free Cake Topper

Since I first announced this contest I've had over 300 hits to my blog, yet there's no interest in the cake topper giveaway. I say that because I've only had two comments.

So, to liven it up a bit, here are some ideas of possible cake toppers. This may inspire more demand and more comments! Come on people, don't be shy (or is my work horrible!???)

You can use a cake topper at...

Grandma's 80'th birthday party
Grandpa's birthday party
Labor Day Picnic
Any kind of picnic
Wedding
Shower
Divorce Party
Halloween
Thanksgiving
Christmas
New Years
Valentine's Day
Anniversary
Retirement Party
Teacher's Appreciation Party
Graduation (2010)
Mother's day (2010)
Easter (2010)
Father's Day (2010)
Baby Shower
Baby's First Birthday and all other's after that
Theme parties
In general, any kind of celebration where there is CAKE!!

So, if you would like to get into the drawing to win a free cake topper (NO STRINGS ATTACHED) (plus you tell me what to make) then start commenting!

The usual stipulation is that you must live in the United states or Canada, because of shipping costs.

Comment! Comment! Comment!

A winner will be randomly chosen on June 1, 2009....

Thanks!

Win A Free Cake Topper!

For those of you who follow my blog, you probably know that I have been full of angst for the last year in regard to my "craft".

You also might be familiar with me wanting to "reinvent" myself; something I've written about several times.

So it won't surprise you to know that I've started making my cake toppers again. The toppers were a source of somewhat steady income, but I really wanted to explore art in other areas.

But, after customers continued to ask about the toppers, I decided that it was foolish of me to stop making them when nothing else could replace the money right away. I didn't transition into another successful medium or idea.

Last week I redesigned my website (still needs work) and got three orders for cake toppers. So, God's trying to tell me something,,stick with what works.

In the mean time, I have been doing collage, painting and tying different ideas. As you know, I have a lot of those (ideas!)

I admire people who have found their niche and have stuck with it. I have made a valiant effort to stop worrying about what other people are doing and just do my own thing. There are certain artists on ebay who I followed just to see what they sold, but I'm happy to say I haven't done that in weeks.

To celebrate my return to cake toppers I'm going to have a giveaway of a custom made cake topper. Naturally, this won't be of interest to everyone, but, if you know of anyone who is getting married in the fall or winter of this year, having an anniversary, or a birthday or baby shower, let them know about this giveaway.

How it works


If you would like to win a custom made cake topper (wedding, baby shower, retirement, anniversary, birthday)
leave a comment. Make sure you mention that you want to be in the contest. On June 1, I will announce a winner. That's when I will need the information about the topper. This is a $35.00 value. The winner can pick a theme, hair color, flower colors, etc. There would be no additional props (I won't be adding bikes or towers, castles, etc)..

Here are some examples of cake toppers that are valued at $35.00

Baby Shower

Wedding or Anniversary Topper
Wedding topper
Birthday Topper

Remember, these are just some ideas of the toppers that I can do. If you win, you give me the idea and I'll made a whimsical topper that makes a wonderful keepsake.

Leave as many comments as you like, but only one comment per blog entry, starting today. Tell your friends, leave a link to my blog if you'd like, and feel free to use these pictures to talk about this giveaway.

One final note, since this contest ends on June 1 and it will take me time to make the topper, please understand that the winner won't get it for approx a month, so your event must be after the middle of July.
