Pin it to Win it: Giveaway time!!

I am starting a contest today where you have the chance to win a $25 gift certificate good towards spoon pendants in my shop.  

To enter the contest, all you have to do is create an imaginative Pinterest board using any product image from found on my web site, www.sunshynesilverwear.com Then post a link to your boards either here on my blog, or on my Facebook Fanpage. 


How the grouping is done is completely up to you. You could pin by color, or maybe based on the image and art inside the spoon, or even a board comprised of the perfect outfit for a picnic in the park. The possibilities are endless!  The best part is, you can make as many boards as you want to for more chances to win! So get pinning, and above all, have FUN! 


The winner of the contest will not only be judged on creativity and quality of the boards, but also on how many 'likes' and 'repins' your board has total. So dont forget to share, share share your boards with as many as you can. 

Not familiar with Pinterest? Pinterest is a virtual pinboard filled with interesting and beautiful images found all over the web. To read a little more about Pinterest's possibilities, read their 'about' page here.
As of right now, Pinterest access is by invitation only. If you do not currently have a Pinterest account, e-mail me at sunshyne_silverwear@hotmail.com and I will send you an invite.  

I also made a special coupon code for the run of this contest. If you would like to purchase a pendant, use coupon code 'BLOG' and get 20% off of your order! 

Details: Offer is valid for residents of the United States and Canada only. Contest starts 1/20/2012 and ends 2/02/2012 at midnight EST. The winner will be announced on 2/03/2012 on this blog and also on Sunshyne Silverwear's facebook fanpage. The winner will have until 12/31/2012 to redeem their prize. Gift certificate issued will be in the form of a coupon code that should be entered in at check-out and can only be used in one transaction. (example: if your total comes to $23, the remaining $2 cannot be used on a future purchase, the $2 will be forfeited) The gift certificate will be good for anything in my shop EXCEPT for custom made and made to order items.
