New Giveaway Announcement - Sponsored by Kona Lily Isle

Another great giveaway! You are all going to love this one. It is sponsored by Kona Lily Isle. They are a "custom window treatment specialist" with some pretty amazing skills.

Kona Lily Isle is a family operated business. They have a website and an Etsy Store. They have been in business for over 30 years and have gained a reputation for being able to tackle the hard stuff. Is your window an odd size or shape? No problem. This is a family made up of professional designers and seamstresses that can handle it.

Today we are all very lucky. Kona Lily Isle has decided to give away one of their Waverly Essence Damask Roman Shades to one of our Tools Are For Women Too followers. We all know the cost of window treatments these days and all I can say is that this sponsor was incredibly generous to put this one up for grabs. It is the exact one pictured in the upper right of this post.

Would you like to win this Roman Shade? Here is all you have to do to enter.

1.) Become a follower of Tools Are For Women Too, if you are not one already and let me know you want in the giveaway.

2.) Visit the Kona Lily Isle website and leave them a message about why you want to win this prize.

That's all there is to this one! Pretty easy.

And..... I could not resist showing you all a little more of their fantastic window treatments. I love this one. Simple and fun.

Or maybe you prefer something a little more refined and elegant?

Kona Lily Isle has a lot to offer including Draperies, Child Safe Cordless Shades, Valances, and Energy Saving Blackout Linings. Please make sure sure you visit this wonderful family owned business and say hello.

Good Luck!

Just Because I Love It! - Link Party #1

Welcome to the very first Just Because I love It! link party. This party is for non-sellers only. If you are a seller, please do not post your items in this party. I have a special party for sellers going on right now. Just scroll down to find it.

Some of you out there told me that with such gigantic parties, that your thumbnails were getting lost amongst all the Etsy posts. I can certainly understand that, so I have made this special party for "non-sellers". I did the same thing on this past Monday, and it got some pretty positive response.

I think this new format of 2 parties is win-win for everyone. Let me know how it works for all of you.

Here are the rules.....

1.) You must be a follower to participate, if you are not one already.

2.) No sellers allowed in this one.

3.) You can post up to 5 items, but all items must have been handmade by you.

4.) These parties are a lot of work and now because of the party split, I am doing 4 a week. Please help me by spreading the word about Tools Are For Women Too. Write a post, grab a button, tell a friend. Whatever you do is terrific. Just "pay it forward" and invite some others.

5.) Make some friends out there. Click on some thumbnails and visit some blogs. Make some comments and support each other. You will be amazed at how much traffic you can generate in your site, by just making a friend or two.

Okay, Let's Party!

Link Party! Times Are Tough Thursday Sellers Party

Welcome to my Times Are Tough Thursday link party, for sellers. If you are posting items that are for sale, you have come to the right place.

If you are not a seller, scroll up and enter the other party. I have one especially for non-sellers, too.

My intent is to make this party a giant craft fair, where sellers can can show off their best stuff and link directly to their online stores. All items that sellers make themselves are welcome.

This party is FREE to all participants as usual. All I ever ask in return is that sellers "pay it forward", and let others know about this great opportunity for some free advertising.

Here are the party rules this week...

1.) You must be a follower to participate, if you are not one already.

2.) You can post up to 5 items this week. Feel free to take advantage of it.

3.) Items must have been handmade by you.

4.) You must "pay it forward" somehow, and spread the word about the party. Post a button, write a feature, start a thread, invite a few random sellers. Whatever you do to promote the party every week is fine. It's up to you.

5.) What makes the party work is your support of each other. Please take time to visit a few of the other seller's stores and leave some comments. Make some friends.

That's it! Let's get this party started!

Link Parties Thursday Announcement

It is almost time for the Thursday Link Party. I will be posting it by midnight tonight.

This Thursday is a little bit different. I will be having 2 parties this time. One party will be for sellers. The other party will be for non-sellers.

Please enter the correct party.

I tried this on Monday, and it seemed to work fairly well. I had a lot of "thank yous" from people about how it much better it was with this new separate party format.

Thank you all for being a part of Tools Are For Women Too! I am looking forward to seeing everyone's latest posts.
