Who doesn't love some piggy-tails?!  They are the epitomy of all things LITTLE GIRL!  Nothing cuter than piggy-tails, in my opinion, but you can always make them cuter!!

I absolutely LOVE making PIGGY-TAIL HAIRBOWS!   They are one of my favorite items to make in The Kandy Shoppe!  AND they are some of my favorite items to put on my daughter!

So, check out my PIGGY-TAIL accessories!  And embrace all things GIRLY! <3

Busy, Busy Bumblebee

Yes!!!   I have been incredibly busy these days...  Summer "vacation" is now upon us and so far, it has been cram-packed full of activities.  My son played baseball this summer... While that was a BLAST and we loved every minute of it, I was glad to see the last game come and go.  We were VERY consistent; we lost consistently LOL... BUT it was such a good time watching the little guys play and learn... and, by the way, they are going to be AWESOME next year ;)
Also, I have been busy with filling orders and expanding projects with The Kandy Shoppe... Several new items are going to be introduced... I don't want to say too much now, but be ready for the "unveiling" coming soon!!!   Several new and fun products that you will love!!!   Here's a HINT: The Kandy Shoppe will have you covered from your HEAD to your TOES ;)  That's all I will say for now..... Stay tuned... ;)
We are getting really close to 200 fans on FACEBOOK... When we reach 200 there will be another giveaway!!!!   I will hold a random drawing (random.org) and a winner will be chosen from the FIRST 200 facebook fans... So, what are you waiting for?  If you have not already "LIKED" The Kandy Shoppe on facebook, go "LIKE" me =) 
I just recently held a random drawing for everyone who posted their favorite Kandy Shoppe accessory.  The winner, Ani Guereca Wilson, won a 50% off Coupon Code to my Etsy Store!!  GREAT DEAL!!!
Stay connected... you never know when I'll give something away ;)

~ANOTHER GIVEAWAY~ (I may be addicted)

I get totally excited when I have a customer purchase an item from me and REALLY LOVE it!!!  It is such a feeling of satisfaction!!  BUT, I may also be addicted to the feeling of GIVING SOMETHING AWAY!!  The Bible says, "it is more blessed to give than receive" and I TOTALLY agree!  It is such a wonderful feeling.
That said, I'm about to announce another GIVEAWAY.... SURPRISE!! =)
If you have not LIKED The Kandy Shoppe on Facebook yet, please do.  I am currently at 130 fans and I'm really working on getting my name out there and getting exposure.  AND when The Kandy Shoppe hits 200 fans, I will be giving something away!!  I had a giveaway when I hit 100 fans, so I thought, "WHY NOT"?!?!  Let's do it again!!
You guys are totally amazing with all the help you have given me in getting more exposure!!  You are SO AWESOME!!  And I am extremely indebted to you!  So, in helping me get to 200 fans, I want to give one "blessed" fan a gift!!  AND in addition to this, I'm letting my fans CHOOSE which gift you get!  That's right!  Right now on FACEBOOK there is a status update asking YOU which item you want as the giveaway prize.  I will take the most asked for item and make it the GIVEAWAY PRIZE.
This is so exciting, I'm just giddy as I type this right now... Yes, I am easily amused and entertained! =)  BUT it's EXCITING!!!
So, thank you so much!!  And please, if you have not already been by The Kandy Shoppe fan page, please swing by!  I'd love to hear from you <3

Fabulous Facebook Fans and Giveaway Response

First of all, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my blog and Twitter followers and Facebook fans.  You guys are AWESOME!!!  Second, I really love the response I received from one Facebook fans in particular, Jenn James.  Jenn was the winner of the very first RANDOM DRAWING I had on Facebook a while back.  I posted a status and everyone who "LIKED" that status was put into a drawing to win a Vintage Layered Flower Clip

Jenn James from Springtown, TX was the Facebook fan who won this random drawing!
Now, a lot of times when someone wins something, they usually always respond with a "Thank you" and maybe even a mention of you in a post/status update, but Jenn went above and beyond and posted pics of several ways in which she loved to use her new Vintage Clip.  Here are her pics:

Thank you so very much, Jenn, for sharing and posting your ideas!!  The plum Vintage Layered Flower Clip looks amazing with your red hair! =)

The large Vintage Layered Flower clip, like Jenn has, is $6.00.  If you are interested in purchasing this style clip, please contact me on my Facebook page or by email thekandyshoppe (at) ymail (dot) com

Much, MUCH love to my Blog, Facebook and Twitter friends!!

Things I've been working on...

My Vintage Layered Flower Clips seem to be very popular right now...  I am so very glad you are enjoying them... So, I've been making more of those:

I'm also becoming increasing addicted to making Beaded Bobby Pins... These are my very first ones that I've done, so ignore the pieces of wire that are sticking out here and there... I'm still perfecting the art =)  But I'm loving it!!!!  And I think they are just absolutely adorable and look GREAT in your hair!  I'm already wearing them in mine.  I will be excited when I get some made up to sale, so stay tuned for these little cuties

We are also getting really, REALLY close to reaching our first 100 fans on Facebook!!  When that goal is reached, I will have blog giveaway.  Prize to be announced.  Trust me, I will plaster my blog, Facebook and Twitter with pics of the fabulous prize =)

Ideas in the Works...and Giveaways!!!

So, in the spirit of spreading the word about my little hobbies, I started a Facebook page and a Twitter... Yes, I'm somewhat of a social networking junkie.  And with my admission of addiction out of the way, I've decided that once my Facebook page gets 100 "likes", why not have a giveaway?!!!  I love giveaways!!!  And it is far more blessed to give than receive, so in that spirit, I'm going to give one of my items to you, my friends!! 
Stay tuned for the Giveaway blog post that will post the item to be given away and what you have to do to enter the giveaway...  Until then, why don't you mosey on over to my Facebook page and "LIKE" me.  And while you're at it, you might as well check me out on Twitter as well.
I'm excited about this giveaway!!  Spread the word.  The more the merrier!
