I always get submissions right after the deadline, esepcially these last two exhibitions for some reason. So, I wanted to be sure to shout it out this time.

This summer exhibition will run from July 4th through July 31st.

And all the details for submitting your shop can be found here. You can also read over our testimonials and press mentions to help you decide, as always. Please note there is a small fee to participate and not all shops who submit are chosen.

Sound good? Submit now.

And if you’ve already been an exhibitor on papernstitch, just email me at brittni(at)papernstitch.com and we will go from there.

Submission deadline is Friday, July 1st.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered the pns exhibition giveaway! It was SUPER tough to make a decision because every shop was so great.

I sat down early this morning and went through every single entry and visited each site, looked at all the products, etc and made a list. I narrowed it down from 166 to 30, then to 10, and then I was totally stuck!

I absolutely could not choose.

Now, I don’t know if its my indecisiveness or just the sheer goodness of all these shops, but in the end, I decided to choose TWO WINNERS instead of one!

So, without further ado, the winners are…

Nan Lawson and Kate from Otillies Closet.

Congratulations ladies! Please email me at brittni(at)papernstitch(dot)com and I’ll get everything set up for you right away. Thanks again to everyone who entered this giveaway!

If a pair of scissors, a handy tape measure, or that trusty hammer is part of your supply arsenal, you probably scan the pages of Better Homes and Gardens every now and then.

Maybe you even visit the BHG website on occasion?

Well then, you’ve probably seen their newly re-designed site than, huh? Looks pretty good, doesn’t it? Here’s a glimpse at the “new-ness” for those that haven’t seen it…

It seems a lot easier to navigate now and loads super fast, so needless to say, I am really digging the new site design. AND in celebration of that, I am giving away 5 one year subscriptions to Better Homes and Gardens right now!

Here’s how you can enter to win a 1-year subscription to BHG:

Move your creative business goals forward right now with the Track This giveaway!

I’ve personally found with my own business, that biz owners (and small business owners especially) need to set very specific goals in order to succeed with their business and begin crossing these accomplished goals and tasks off of their list. Accomplished goals means money in the bank for you.

So, I am giving away FIVE of these goal guidebooks to get you moving in the right direction when it comes to your creative business. Each of 5 winners will receive their own 33 page digital copy of Track This! Creating and Tracking your Business Goals over the Next Year to help you get on track and stay on track not just this year, but forever because you can use this goal workbook year after year, not just in 2011.

*Watch the video sneak peek that takes you inside Track This now.

Here’s how you can enter to win one of 5 Biz Goals Guidebooks:

There are 3 ways to enter this giveaway (so you can enter up to 3 times). Each entry should be a separate comment (international entries welcome, as always)…

1. Leave a comment below and tell me your biggest struggle with your business thus far. This can be brief.

2. Leave a comment below and tell me your number one goal for your business for the remainder of 2011.

3. Twitter, facebook, or blog about this giveaway and leave a link in the comments. *You can use the handy buttons below this post to link via facebook and twitter.
