Steals of the Day -- Wednesday April 29 , Winners/New Prizes!

Hello Everyone

Sorry for being so late this morning on this post.   I am so sorry to my girls for posting on top of their same photo challenge, please make sure to scroll down a bit and take a long gaze at the outstanding work they have for you today!  Please forgive me girls, I promise I tried to get this up a lot earlier.  When it rains it pours so to speak -- but my internet provider has decided that it will cooperate with my "need to do list," and bring their service back up.   Haa.. I'm sure they really don't care about little old AMLT or my stress level! Luckily it was just in time before the tears of stress started to fall or I kicked a hole in the wall :).

Today's Steals of the day are:

My Minds Eye Laundry, Spooked, Nightlife and Just Dreamy 2.  .10 cent papers, .25 cent specialty papers, embellies at 70% off.  These are newer lines that have only been out 6 months or so :).  Beautiful Product at unbelievable steals today!

Making Memories.. most items in their collections are on sale today.  50, 60, 70% and more on most items!  Make sure to go take a look, lots of good stuff today!!

Remember shop today, prices will disappear tomorrow!

Ok first, a winner for Monday's prize..

Congrats Erika M, apparently you and I are not only the same age, but on the same wave length as I picked 35 for the same reason!

Today I promised 2 prizes, but I lied.  I have 4 instead :)

This was suppose to be yesterday's prize from Pink Paislee:

Then we have 2 prizes from the New Making Memories Just Chillin Lines, one for girls:

One for boys:

And a whole bunch of paper that was donated from my favorite guy at MME (KC the Josh Harnett look alike :)  Check out how thick this stack is!!  Thanks KC!

Ok Leave a comment to win.  If you have a preference let me know, otherwise if you win you get what you get!   Gotta run to to elementary school and then orders, and more orders to pull.  Have a great day!

Here is the link the the October Afternoon that arrived this afternoon:

OCTOBER AFTERNOON

Please note that the only items that arrived with this shipment were papers, stickers and wildcards.  Diecuts, rubber charms, stamps, paper pads and rubons are still on backorder I have no info as of now about their arrival date.  The entire Road Map collection is estimated to be released in late May.

Please note that due to quite a bit of increased order volume we are currently about 4 days from order placement to shipment.   A great deal of you have requested having your orders held all week, so  this obviously doesn't apply to you. I am still happy to hold orders should you continue to want to add.  That is not a problem in any way.  You know the drill... leave a comment at checkout :)  However if you have a need for rush shipment  PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY at info@amillionlittlethings.com.  I will do my best to accomodate as much as possible. There are enough orders that I may not see comments until I have your order in que to pull, but  I will do my best to accomodate if possible for anyone that emails me directly.  We very much appreciate your business and your patience!  Thank you so very much!!

I did not get to a giveaway today, so there will be 2 tomorrow :)

Have a great night!

Jill

New Steal of the Day -- Tuesday April 28

Good Morning Everyone!
I think I may be too old for this, LOL.  Thank you for everyone that has been to the store and blog the past couple of days!  It is so fun to see excitement again!

First off I'm going to give you a link to some new things I listed last night, they are selling VERY fast.  I think that especially the Sassafras will be hard to get restocked (or so Rebecca the owner, told me last night) until June, since they are already oversold there.  SO if you like the Blossoms , Felties , chipboard, brads, etc. get them now, I don't know when I can get more :)  I did reorder the Jungle Stamps they should be here this week hopefully.

Sassafrass -- New Blossoms, Felites and Restocks of sold out items

7 Gypsies -- a few new items

Unfortunatley the Heidi Swapp items I listed sold out as fast as I put them on, I will try to get a reorder going this week.  I apologize.

Good News Ladies..  my October Afternoon Boxes are in Salt Lake this morning, so hopefully soon they will be "on truck for delivery" and if not today tomorrow.  Update on Cosmo and Collage Press.. they should be here by the end of the week,  I know alot of you will be curious to know this and are waiting.

Now.. today's STEALS OF THE DAY

Entire Stock of Lil Davis is 75% off and up!  That makes lots of really cute embellies for a buck or less, deeply bargained  papers, and adorable stamps for $3 and change!

and
All Pink Paislee on Sale!  20% and up on the newest 4 lines, and the other lines 70% off and up!  Lots  more of those ultra bargain papers, stamps and embellies!

Remember Prices are good today only Tuesday April 28.  New items will replace these tomorrow morning

I will come back later today with a new prize and a winner, but in the meantime I must get 2 kids moving and ready for school which is a very large project most mornings!

Thanks!
Jill

Today's I'm giving away this beautiful kit from SEI released Earlier this year:

LOVE BIRDS:

To enter yourself to win leave me a comment by Tuesday --  pick a number between 1 and 200.  The number closest to mine wins.

And now the winners for the MME KITS that were posted Saturday:

And the first 2 winners of this NSD week  are # 54 KIM in MN  and #35  MARJA!  Thanks ladies for commenting.  Believe it or not I really love giving things away, it's fun, so I hope you have as much fun winning!  Please email me to claim your prize.

Make sure to checkout Kristina's one minute Monday tip for organizing your buttons!

One Minute Monday - Organize those buttons!

Hi everyone! Kristina here with what is a very easy One Minute Monday tip. This is something that I just did recently and I LOVE it! I must confess, I love any and all buttons. I use them all of the time on my layouts and until recently they were just all mixed together in a big jar. I loved the look of all of those buttons, but having to dig through them, empty the entire thing out etc., became a bit of a pain so I organized them by color! Now they are so easy to find because I just grab the colors I need and I'm good to go. They're also very pretty to look at all organized by color. :) Jars are really inexpensive and I've gotten lots of mine for $1 or less and and most of the jars I have are empty jelly jars that I've kept. That makes me love that jelly even more. :)

So if you love buttons as much as I do and haven't taken the time to organize them by color - you should! It can take a bit of time to do, depending on just how many buttons you have, but kids love to help and it's something you can do just a bit at a time if you'd like. I know my daughter loved helping me and the end result was fabulous! There you go! A quick One Minute Monday tip for you! Happy Button Organizing! :) Have a great week ahead!

Kick off (inter) National Scrapbooking Week!

THIS DRAWING for the MME KITS IS NOW CLOSED.. a WINNER WAS SELECTED.  FOR MORE GIVEAWAYS CELEBRATING NSD CHECKOUT LATER POSTS TO WIN, the DRAWING FOR THE SLICE IS ONGOING FOR ALL ORDERS PLACED THIS WEEK IN THE AMLT STORE.  THANKS!

So this post will be dedicated to the official kickoff of what I will call International Scrapbooking Week.  We should petition to have it changed to international shouldn't we?  But who would we petition? :)

First let's start off with the good stuff.. STEALS OF THE DAY, so happily stolen from our old Steals of the week!  Remember those?  They sort of fell by the wayside  after CHA with all the new product coming in.

Starting today and ongoing all next week we are going to be having STEALS OF THE DAY.  Which will be a group of items that will be on sale at unbelievable prices for that day only.  Today will be the only exception to that "one day only" rule as I don't work on Sunday's.  The Steal posted today will be good for the rest of today, and for tomorrow Sunday April 26.  You won't want to delay as the prices will be removed on Monday and a new set of items will go up!  To prove to you that we mean business and are ready to celebrate our first NS WEEK STEAL of the Day is THICKERS  all over 25% off our price!!  That's 35% off retail friends, even on NEW styles of THICKERS!! We have 103 different styles in stock!

Now it's imporant to note that I will not back track pricing for this week, in order to get the special prices you will have to buy it the day it is on sale.  Please be understanding of this, I can't make exceptions.  BUT... I will happily combine and hold orders like we always do, so you can shop for great deals every day and I will ship for you at the end of the week or later if you wish.  This means you can take advantage of great deals and possibly free/reduced shipping!  To have your order held all you have to do is leave me a note at checkout, if I do not see a note I will go ahead and ship in normal que. 

Ohh.. ohh.. ohh and did you think this was all?  NO WAY girls and guys, I've got prizes galore all week including 2 unbelievable huge, amazing prizes in addition to all my regular goodies!   For these 2 large prizes you will earn raffle tickets for each $20 you spend in the store this week. (Any order placed today April 27-Sunday May 3).   Each $20 earns you one ticket.  There is no limit on the number of tickets you can earn.   I will also be awarding raffle tickets to anyone who shares info about our NSD giveaways, sales and festivities on their own blog.  A Maximum of 1 raffle ticket will be given to anyone that shares  this info on their blog, and then comments here on any of our posts this week with a link to your blog post.   Please note I will give entries only for posts on your personal blogs.  I will not give entries for posts on other message boards, store blogs,  especially those with stores of competing online stores.  I hold the upmost respect for other store owners and their message boards/blogs and other online avenues are their resources to promote their own sites, not mine.  I appreciate your understanding. :).   So do you want to know what you can win with these raffle tickets?  How about this?



or perhaps this:



No jokes, you could be the lucky winner of a SLICE or a Zutter binding system!  All it takes to be entered in the drawing is a $20 order in the amlt store placed Saturday April 25-Sunday May 3, or a post on your personal blog.  You are welcome to enter both ways, remember there is not a limit on the # of tickets you can earn!

We will have additional prizes to be won throughout the week here on our blog, prizes that do not require a purchase to win.  So why not start today?  I have 2 brand spanking new paper kits from MME to give away.  One each of the new Pretty Please, and Andrea Victoria:

I'll pick 2 winners on Monday, so if you would like to enter yourself to win (these 2 kits) leave me a comment, that's all :)

You'll want to join us all day on Saturday May 2, our DT has a huge blog party planned that includes post every hour.  The day will be filled with lots of inspiration and of course lots of free stuff!  Sign up  for us on bloglines today (linked on the sidebar)so you don't miss a thing!    Stay tuned monday for a new steal of the day, and all week for more surprises and raks!
