Welcome and first promotion

This blog is created to share information and promotions that are initiated on the artfire community guild, You Can Sell It. I am Tammy, otherwise known as CutsiePoochie. Artfire is a community of artisans that make anything and everything from aceo photography prints to jewelry and crochet, beading and glasswork, dog clothes and woodworking. You can find that special gift or perfect item on artfire. Since all of the products are handmade, you can find genuine one-of-a-kind items and gifts galore. Plus, you're not paying big middle man prices. So take a jump on over to http://www.artfire.com/ and get shopping.

Our guild is a group of artisans that come together for support and promotion of each other and artfire. Our current promotion is a chance to win a $25 gift certificate. All you have to do is buy something from one of our participating shops and you will be entered into the drawing. You have one week to do this, from August 23rd until the 29th. The winner will be chosen at random and announced on September 1. Every item that you purchase through one of our participating shops will give you an opportunity to win. Okay, here are the official rules and list of participating shops:

To qualify for a chance to win a $25 in-store gift certificate:
1) Purchase any item from one the participating stores during the week of August 23 - 29 (2009) and write "gift certificate entry" in the seller notes during checkout.
2) Your name will then be entered in the drawing and a winner will be chosen at random.
3) Winner will be notified by September 01, 2009.4)
If you would like to know the name of the winner, use the contact button in any participating store. The seller will provide you with the name.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Redeeming the winning in-store gift certificate:
1) The amount of the gift certificate is for the total purchase amount, including shipping. Example A: $22 (item price) + $3 (shipping) = $25 (total) example B: $6 + $10 + $5 (item prices) + $4 (shipping) = $25 (total). The prize can only be claimed during one shopping session and cannot be used multiple times. If the item you wish to use the gift certificate for exceeds $25, please see rule #4."
2) Browse through the stores until you find the item(s) you wish.
3) Contact the seller and inform them of your selection(s).
