The Big 1000 Followers Giveaway!

We did it! The Craft Mom has reached 1000 followers!

I don't know how many of you know our story so here's the condensed version:

Once upon a time, two crafty gals met at Archiver's Scrapfest at the Mall of America. They really hit it off and stayed in touch over the years. Julia was working in marketing for some big crafting companies and Lorrie was teaching scrapbooking classes and churning out projects for design teams, each in their own parts of the U.S. (Julia in St. Louis and Lorrie in Atlanta).

One day in 2012, Julia contacts Lorrie with an idea. "How about a site that combines crafting and couponing?" she asked. Julia knew the crafting business and Lorrie knew all about couponing and finding deals. They knew that this crazy, untested idea could work if they combined their knowledge. So they jumped in with both feet and The Craft Mom was born!

When they started, they didn't know much about how to do what they had planned. They learned as they went, and surprisingly, it worked. Now, a little over a year later, The Craft Mom is going strong with almost 19,000 page views per month and over 1000 Facebook followers.

So to celebrate that milestone, we are giving away a prize: a crafting "mystery box"! What will be in the box?

How about one of these SEI 12x12 paper pads?

And one of these 12x12 "Country Living" collection packs from We R Memory Keepers?
We R Memory Keepers - Country Livin' Collection - 12 x 12 Paper Pack

And some Therm-O-Web adhesives, Paper Wishes/Hot of the Press embellishments, and all sorts of other goodies with a total retail value of $100?!

To enter, just use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter!


Thank you so much for visiting and "liking" The Craft Mom! We will continue to grow and improve so that we can bring you the best in deals and steals!

    To be honest I can't remember how I found out about Craft Mom, maybe through a giveaway or a guest post from someone. In either case, happy to be here!

    I found out about it from FB. They had a craft idea on one of the FB companies I was following and I decided to check it out. Became a fan and now they are another that I follow on FB daily.

    I am really not sure. I came across your FB page first by way of other crafty FB pages. It's been a while so I am not really sure which one. But I sure like it. :)
