Happy Birthday to The Downtown Boutique -- Day 2
Today we are giving away one of my own creations from our Etsy shop, Photo Greetings:
Our photo greetings are easy and convenient for any busy family. All you have to do is pick your design, email me your high resolution photos and the text for your card, and then print them at your favorite photo processing center (such as Shutterfly, Costco, Walmart, etc.), on your own schedule! How cool is that?!
Not only do we do Valentine Photo Greeting cards, but we also do Birth/Adoption Announcements, Shower Invitations, Birthday Invitations, Memorial Cards, Graduation Announcements, "Change of Address" Announcements, "Save the Date" Announcements, Holiday Cards, and anything else that you celebrate in your life. We have loads of premade designs to choose from, but if you don't see exactly what you're looking for, we are also glad to do custom designs such as THIS ONE that we did for a customer who requested it.

To enter: Please visit Photo Greetings and let us know which design is your favorite, not including the one shown. It doesn't have to be Valentine themed. Please be sure to leave a valid email address.
For an additional entry, you can blog about this giveaway. Please be sure to leave a separate comment with the link to your blog post.

Happy Birthday To The Downtown Boutique -- Day 1
This giveaway is now closed.
Woo Hoo! It's been one whole year since the inception of The Downtown Boutique. It has been such an AMAZING journey! I have three co-authors now, and I couldn't do it without them! Sydnei, from Simply Sentimental, has been with me since last April! Michele, from Sweet Irie Originals, and Katherine, from Sweet Caroline's have just joined me in the last month. I am grateful for all three of these wonderful gals!
And I can't even BEGIN to say how much our readers mean to me! We have had readers from over 80 countries all across the world, with 89% of our readers coming from the USA. We have had nearly 29,000 visits in the past year! WOW! That's so exciting to me!
Thank you to my wonderful advertisers too! You guys ROCK! And I'm very blessed to be able to feature so many wonderful products and shops from Etsy.com, and other places on the web.
So, to show my gratitude, we will have a giveaway for each day from today through January 27th. Each giveaway will go for one week.
Today's giveaway comes from Mia Sophia. Mia is a mom from Houston, Texas and has three girls, with whom she tries hard to maintain some amount of "girly-ness" when possible. Mia has TWO shops on Etsy: Mia Sophia and Friendly Banter. You will find that both shops have some GORGEOUS items in them. Mia also has a blog called Mia Sophia's Day.
For today's "birthday gift", Mia is offering this lovely "Bright Red Butterfly" Vintage Image Necklace, JUST in time for Valentine's Day!
