Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway!

Welcome to the Monkey Hugs giveaway for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!  This is the first time I am participating in Giveaway Day and I am a little bit late to the party, but better late than never, right? 

Giveaway Day is a biannual event hosted by Sew Mama Sew - businesses and blogs all come together to give away some wonderful handmade goodies or supplies for no other reason than the fact that it's fun! 

So here is what I am giving away here at Monkey Hugs: 


Meet Talia! 

Talia is a little sister doll made from a Dolls And Daydreams pattern. 
She is a real little sweetie and is made from 100% designer cotton with cute felt socks (which are attached) and a removable skirt. 

Talia's hair is also 100% cotton.
Talia's face is handpainted and heat set and she comes with cute ribbons in her hair. 
She is approximately 24cm tall and is the perfect size for little hands and she comes with her own birth/adoption certificate!  

Sooooo.... if you want to win this gorgeous little miss, there are three ways to enter (please leave a separate comment under this post for EACH entry you make):

  1. Become a follower of this blog (current followers can also enter)
  2. Become a liker of my facebook page Monkey Hugs (feel free to leave a comment on the wall if you wish!)
  3. visit my handmade.com.au shop MonkeyHugs and tell me one of the items currently for sale.
You must leave a separate comment for each entry that you make UNDER THIS POST (for example, comment with "follower of this blog - Sam Gibson" or "liker on facebook - Sam Gibson", etc). Make sure you leave your name as part of each comment!  

As Sew Mama Sew is an American Business, the giveaway closes May 25th at 5 p.m. PST, which if my conversion is correct makes it 10am on May 26th here in Australia! (AEST time - I'm located in Queensland). I'll announce the winner chosen by random the next day here on the blog (and will link on facebook).

International entries are most welcome!

Thanks for visiting, GOOD LUCK and be sure to enter more giveaways at Sew Mama Sew!
