Inspiration

2000

We've hit 2000+ fans on facebook, so it's time for another giveaway (and maybe this will spur me to revive the much-neglected HL blog!)!

Ok, so here's the deal.  Check out our etsy shop,  and post a comment here with your favorite item (can be current or sold).  One entry per person.  Giveaway opens Monday, November 5th at 8:40 am est and ends Tuesday, November 6th at 10am est.  I'll then use random.org to pick the winner.  P.S. - don't forget to leave me a way to contact you (name, email address, something!).

What do you win?

One custom slot, AI2 or fitted, any size from newborn through Junior.  Embroidery is not included, but you can add it on for a $10 cost if you'd like.  Shipping is free in the US/Canada and I'll split the normal international shipping cost if the winner is out of the US/Canada, so that would be $3.50.

Ready? Set? Comment! 

Contest is officially closed! Winner will be announced shortly! 

Congrats to Sally E - I am shooting you over an email now!
