Christmas in July Deals!

I don't mean to give you hives but... the holidays are in 5 months time!

To ease the shock I've got some Christmas in July deals and fun for all of you. I've been announcing these on IGTV but this master blog post includes links to all the giveaways and freebies.

Mark your calendars

First, I wanted to share how super excited I am about the opportunity to exhibit at The Handmade Market in Niagara Falls on November 22, 23, 24. If you live locally I would love to see you there!

I would also love for you to plan ahead for the holidays by pre-ordering your gifts. Here's why it's a great idea:

• You will get the plushies you want, customized the way you want, and avoid any disappointment.
• You can pick them up from The Handmade Market or locally for free, and avoid shipping costs.
• You don't have to make a decision now! Head over to Custom Orders and place a Pre-Order for Pickup. I will follow up with you in early September to confirm your exact order.
• You will feel fantastic knowing you are supremely prepared for the holidays.

If you missed my IGTV announcements for the giveaways and promotions I've got going below is a summary of all of them. To enter, just subscribe to my email list.

Please enter as many giveaways as you are interested in and share with friends!

Giveaway for crocheters

I've teamed up with the wonderful ladies of Handknit Yarn Studio to give local crocheters or folks who want to learn crochet a prize worth $50! A one hour crochet session with me and a $25 gift certificate to spent at Handknit.

Subscribe to my email list to enter and remember to check a box indicating that you're interested in crochet or learning to crochet.

In addition, if you like amigurumi or would love to learn how to make them, check the box to indicate interest in amigurumi patterns and you could win either 2 or 3 (depending on the ones you choose).

Freebies for crocheters

My last blog post outlined a bunch of free resources I have put together for new crocheters and I have more planned.

In addition, make sure you download the free amigurumi patterns I have on my site.

Giveaway for plushie lovers

Sign up for my email list and check one of the boxes indicating you're interested in plushies and you're automatically entered for this giveaway. You could win $25 SBKM store credit (and yes, you will be able to use this for your holiday orders!)

But that's not all - tag a friend on my Facebook or Instagram post who is an educator (teacher, homeschooler, support worker, EA) and if they sign up for my email list they could ALSO win $25 SBKM store credit.

Sensory play freebie for SBKM fans

While you're waiting for my next educational play set to make its debut, there's a free handout you can download. This 20 page handout outlines how to create a Planetary Sensory Walk, with detailed recipes, fun facts about planets, science stuff and sensory play ideas.

In addition, for locals, I will be at the Hamilton Maker Faire on August 25, 2019, taking place at the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology. Bring the kids for a sneak peek at my new educational play set and a Planetary Sensory Walk demo.

I hope you enjoy the freebies and good luck with the giveaways! Please share with your friends and make sure you check out the Outtakes video on IGTV!
