This giveaway is in conjunction with Reader Appreciation Week here on Papernstitch. Thank you so much to everyone who reads this blog and has made it what it now is!
I know that building a lasting, successful business is important to you, so I wanted to do something really special for today’s giveaway. I am giving away a 3 month exhibition spot on papernstitch.com to one talented lady (or gent) worth over $150.
I completely understand that promoting your work online is a piece of the biz puzzle that can be down-right difficult, especially for creative entrepreneurs like you. And that is exactly why I am giving this away. One lucky winner will be chosen from the comments below to take part in the next 3 papernstitch exhibitions absolutely free of charge to get the much needed attention and exposure she (or he) deserves. You can learn more about papernstitch on the sellers page + while you are there, read over the sites testimonials and press mentions.
I never do giveaways for the exhibition site, so take advantage of this while its here because I honestly don’t know when (if ever) I’ll be doing this again.
International entries welcome. Anyone can submit for this giveaway (whether you’ve been on the site before or you haven’t). *Remember, papernstitch is a curated exhibition site, so I will be hand selecting the winner of this giveaway based on overall product quality, originality, and (of course) the answers to my question below.
Here’s how you enter:
Leave a comment below with your shop url (Etsy, Bigcartel, Personal Website, ArtFire, etc) AND 1-2 sentences describing why you think you should win a three month exhibition spot on papernstitch.com.
**Giveaway will end on Monday, June 20th at 11:59 pm EST.**

**For additional Reader Appreciation Week discounts, giveaways, and more visit the R.A.W. page for the full list. Thank you so much to everyone who reads this blog and has made it what it now is!

Hi!
I am a past exhibitor (last fall) and I loved it!
I would love to win the 3 months on PNS because I hate having a boss! I am currently my own boss and wish to keep it that way! Every little boost I can get helps me to keep doing what I love on my own. I’m trying to keep the dream alive!
Thanks for great contest!

Sometimes you get a chance to use your powers for good. What is a bit of free promo to you can make all the difference in someone else’s online business and real world. substance designs donates 10% of all online sales to the Salvation Army PROMISE program for girls that have been victims of sexual trafficking.
Carolyn Healy of substance designs commented on June 20th, 2011 at 8:29 pmI am new to Papernstitch and am so excited to have found you when I am finally able to go full time with my handmade goods. Your website is like eye candy and I’ve had such great response to everyone who has checked it out! I would love to win the 3 months, what an opportunity for my full time handmade start!
Lauren Marco commented on June 20th, 2011 at 9:10 pmI just celebrated a successful 1st year of my paper pinwheel business; http://www.hurrahpinwheels.com/ and I’m so excited to see the fantastic opportunities to come in the year(s) ahead! I discovered Papernstitch a while back & seriously fell in love! Winning this exhibition spot would help me bring joy & whimsical art to many more & give my business the spotlight boost I’ve been looking for!

Being more in the music and illustration world- I think that I could bring a slightly different approach to the craft scene. Looking to expand into Craft shows this Fall- Paper and Stitch would be a fantastic opportunity!

This is such a wonderful opportunity for the exposure that I have been struggling with trying to find myself. I am so curious to see what a great source of exposure could do for my art and my business!
Jennifer commented on June 20th, 2011 at 10:19 pmI LOVE papernstitch was an exhibitor for several months in a row. Papernstitch has consistently been one of the top 10 sources that bring traffic to my shop, and the only reason I decided to take a brief hiatus was because knitted accessories don’t sell very much in the summer. I have every intention of returning as an exhibitor again soon, and this would be a fabulous opportunity to return more quickly than planned! I’m eager to regain the exposure I’ve enjoyed thanks to PNS, which also helps bring attention to the charity I donate a portion of my sales to, charity:water

I’m so glad to have discovered this giveaway -just in the nick of time. I’ve been reading Paper n’ Stitch for quite some time and often view the gallery to view handpicked and quality items. The handmade market is HUGE and Paper n’ Stitch makes these discoveries more manageable. I love that feature! I sell handmade and supplies and am thrilled that there is a category just for me! What a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for this opportunity to promote via Paper n’ Stitch!

Eek! Being on PNS is amazing! The traffic alone is well worth signing up! I have been on PNS twice and cant wait to go back! I would love to win this! What an amazing opportunity!!!
Jenny @ Hank + Hunt commented on June 20th, 2011 at 11:26 pmMy shop is http://www.etsy.com/shop/erinmakesstuff. It’d help me so much to have the exposure from papernstitch.com. [sorry about the typo in my last post!] I make hand knit stuffed monsters that can’t help but put a smile on your face.
Erin Busch commented on June 20th, 2011 at 11:26 pmI’m struggling to connect up with the right people online, and it is proving to be a very slow process to build my blog following, and subsequently my Etsy store. A few months on Paperstitch would help enormously! Such a wonderful opportunity!

Poppy commented on June 21st, 2011 at 5:35 amI have been struggling to make my business a success for the past year, I have an unusual product that i would love the world to see, I constantly feel that my promotional efforts go unnoticed and make little difference to my sales. I would love the opportunity to have the chance to exhibit with PNS this would open so many doors for me.
