If you're not one of these eight lucky winners, don't worry, we still love you! AND we have lots of exciting things in store for 2013!

So get ready to fall in love with Etsy Dallas all over again...



Etsy Dallas is happy to launch our 2012 SHOP HOP: The Jammie Bash.




You know and love our Handmade Bash shopping extravaganzas, but we haven't seen you since the Cinco de Mayo Spring Bash (and we miss you). So come back to us, dear friends.

Be a part of the SHOP HOP and The Jammie Bash.

Yep, that's right, folks. Don't fight traffic and the holiday crush. Shop right at home in your jammies. (Or, if we're honest with each other, we all know you'll be shopping at work on those super-speedy internet connections--but wear jammies to work at your own risk.)

While our SHOP HOP will never take place of the big bash, we'd like to thank you for supporting the handmade movement and our Etsy Dallas member shops. Buy for those you love, and our gift to you is a chance to gift yourself, too!

Beginning on Black Friday and going through Christmas Eve (11.23-12.24), any purchase made in an Etsy Dallas Member's etsy.com shop will make you eligible to win one of TWO (2) $50 Etsy Gift Cards, courtesy of Etsy Dallas.

All you need to do is keep track of your purchases and enter at the contest site. Enter the Giveaway.

If your number is selected at random, and your purchase is verified, we'll send you a $50 Gift Card to use at any etsy.com shop (although we hope you'll want to head back to one of our members' shops!).

So do some window shopping at our members' shops and get those wish lists in order! You can find a list of us and links to our shops here: Etsy Dallas Team Members.

UPDATE: 11.19.2012: Etsy Inc. has gifted us with 6 more gift cards to give away, making the 2012 SHOP HOP: The Jammie Bash payout over $275 to 8 lucky people!

V-day #craftchallenge winner

Yesterday, Jenni of Jenni20 Designs challenged her fellow Etsy Dallas members and Etsy Dallas lovers to a craft challenge: create an artistic interpretation of e.e. cummings "i carry your heart with me" by the end of Valentine's evening.  

A handful of intrepid crafters were up to the flash craft challenge and tweeted pictures of their entries. 

As they were all pretty darn awesome, Jenni was unable to pick a favorite, so she had to resort to the random number generator. 

And the winner of a $15 gift card of her choice is..... @CocoandCocoa

@CocoandCocoa

The runners up, in no particular order:

Check out the poem if you haven't and follow Etsy Dallas on Twitter to keep up with our daily shenanigans and our special events!

A Valentine's Day Contest and Giveaway

Whether you have a sweetie or not, let's celebrate l-o-v-e today with a classic poem and a fun giveaway!

Jenni, our sometimes blogger and Etsy Dallas Tweetheart, is an admitted word nerd and today she issues the following craft challenge to all crafters, lovers, and lovers of craft out there: 

By 6pm 8pm CST tonight, February 14th, create an artistic interpretation of e.e. cummings "i carry your heart with me" (click on the link to find the full text of this poem). 

Tweet a photo of your doodle, illustration, creative photo, yarn art, pasta necklace, or any other original craft project; make sure you at reply @etsydallas so we see it.

The winner will be selected by an algorithm that takes into consideration such things as: use of poem, interpretation of the poem, random phases of the moon, how much do you make Jenni and her friends smile when viewing the picture, and possibly a random number generator.   (If you don't tweet, email jenni20designs at att dot net with your submission.)

The prize will be your choice of $15 gift card to retailer of your choice: Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, or Target--three mass-market establishments that Jenni loves and frequents, and, since she is donating the prize, these are the choices she names for you. 

Show us the love, people!

xxoo
Jenni and all the Etsy Dallas crew
