The Janome Friend-to-Friend Challenge!


Our friends at Janome are holding a Friend-to-Friend challenge.

They want to hit 20,000 fans on Facebook and when they do, they’re giving away a FANTASTIC prize!

So … How do you enter?

 Visit Janome.com and read their post of the day.

They’re  featuring profiles of some of our good friends, like Anna Maria Horner, Westminster Fibers-Free Spirit Fabrics and the Modern Quilt Guild among so many others.

You’ll get to learn a little about them and the Janome machines in their lives. 

 Leave a comment on that day’s article and you are entered to win the prize package. You can leave a new comment each day, increasing your odds of winning. 

 

The key is that running total on Facebook 

 

 They’ll be watching the numbers grow, and as soon as they hit 20,000, they’ll giveaway a Friend-To-Friend Prize Bundle drawing from all the collected comments. 

 

 

If you haven’t already, give them a “Like” on Facebook and encourage your friends to do the same, because the sooner they get to 20,000, the sooner they’ll draw a random winner from our janome.com commenters!

 

Just Two Steps To Enter To Win

 

1) Visit janome.com each day, starting December 12th, read the article of the day, and leave them a comment about it. 

 

 2) Keep an eye on our Facebook friends and following total, and help us boost that number to 20,000.

 

Thank YOU for helping the Janome community grow!

Fabulous Friday with Arrow Sewing Cabinets!

   

 Hello everyone, we’re the folks at Arrow Sewing Cabinets/Kangaroo Kabinets, and we are so excited to spend Fabulous Friday with you, and to be a part of The Creative Connection!

We are all about helping women (and men) put together a fun and functional creative space. Our cabinets are designed to work hard, but look pretty too. We are always trying to find ways to put the “fun” in functional!

  

{Editors note: Facebook friends, this is the Olivia sewing table that I want for my sewing room. Isn’t she DARLING! I had a chance to visit her at Spring Quilt market and I’m hoping to bring her home someday!} 

  

For that matter, we’re always trying to find ways to add a little “fun” to our workday too! We just recently finished a “barn quilt block” that will soon be gracing the entrance to our building. Thank goodness our resident quilter, Jo, came to the rescue and made sure our block was “pieced together” properly! Jo is an avid quilter, and actually sews at her desk during her lunch hour.

We also try to take advantage of Phil’s forgiving nature as much as possible by making him pose for silly pictures:

We’re very lucky that he’s a good sport!

We like to have fun with our fans on our Facebook page and our blog too. We just announced a “Tablecloth Makeover” contest on the blog, and every Friday we do a little giveaway on Facebook. In addition, we are also giving away one of our wonderful Gidget II’s every time we add 500 fans, and when we hit 5000 fans, we’ll be giving away an entire sewing suite -cabinet, chair, and cutting table! Head on over to our Facebook page to give us a “like” and find out how to join in on all the fun! It’s not all fun and games at Arrow though. There are two things we take very seriously – the quality of our Arrow and Kangaroo cabinets, and our commitment to customer service. Our goal is to make sure that all of our customers are 100% happy with our products. We want their creative time to be worry free!

Thanks for sharing a little of your Friday with us – we hope you all have a fun and creative weekend!

We are honored to have Arrow Sewing Cabinets as a Program Sponsor of 

THE CREATIVE CONNECTION EVENT.

 

PLUS!

BIG NEWS!

They are giving away a GIDGET ll SEWING table RIGHT HERE!

That’s right!

 

 

Simply comment to enter!  

Thank you Arrow for this GENEROUS prize!

 

 


GOOD LUCK!
