CYBER MONDAY GIVEAWAY!

To celebrate the holiday season, as well as to celebrate our grand opening, Busy Bee Stitchery is hosting a Cyber Monday Giveaway!! Cyber Monday is the biggest internet shopping day of the entire year, and we hope that you keep Busy Bee Stitchery in mind when you're scouring the 'net for great deals! The prizes were chosen specifically because they aren't only great if you want to keep it for yourself, but they are also great items to give as gifts!

One winner is just no fun, so instead, there will be THREE winners chosen!

Grand prize (one winner) will be a hat or scarf* from Busy Bee Stitchery AND a $10 gift certificate to use in our Etsy store!

The consolation prizes (two winners) will be a duct tape wallet of your choosing (you can choose from the over 30 duct tape prints we have), AND a 20% discount coupon to use in our Etsy store!

Some frame their first dollar bill...

But that's kind of hard to do when you're an internet based business, and your money goes through paypal! So I thought it would be fun to save our very first review! Of course we had reviews when we were two separate businesses (and lots of awesome ones, might I add!), but this was our very first review since our merge!

Thank you very much, Kimberly Jordan, for leaving such a lovely review, and making our day! We thought you were pretty amazing as well :)

This shop did an amazing job with my order. I requested something she had never even heard of and she was able to research it, and when I received it, it came out even better than expected. I got my grandsons each a duct tape wallet, each with a different design, and they are going to LOVE them. I would highly recommend this shop!

Four out of Four stars!! GOLD stars, at that :) Here's to many more stars in the future!!

It's Wallet Weekend!

This week, behind the scenes at Busy Bee Stitchery you'll find the girls hustling to make duct tape wallets! The girls at BZB (which is the acronym they use when they're too lazy to type out their full name!) were lucky enough to be able to work with a buyer for a middle school's school store, who ordered FIFTY duct tape wallets!! And they have about 10 days to create those 50 wallets!!!

When the girls were first contacted about the idea of creating a bulk amount of the wallets for the school store, the buyer was thinking between 25 and 40 wallets. The next day she said it would most likely be 30 wallets, but she had to get the order okayed by the committee. Later that afternoon, the buyer said the committee LOVED the wallets (YAY!) and wanted 50!!! Before November 28!! There was lots of ecstatic squealing and cyber high fiving (since all this took place through texting and emails lol)- what an awesome order to receive, to commemorate the beginning of the girls' newly merged business! AND THEN some panic set in, and they realized there was a LOT of work to do lol.

So Brooke immediately went home and set up home base for duct tape wallet production!

Here is the center of all the wallet producing hub bub! Look at all that green tape lol!

Just taking it one step at a time, so first things first - time to make 50 wallet bases! There's about 20 here....

The star of the show! The Creeper wallet. This will be the end result....Multiplied by 50 lol!

Because Brooke likes to break it up a bit, after every couple hours of making Creeper wallets she takes a little break and makes a different kind of wallet for Etsy and other shows....tonight she worked on Duck Dynasty wallets!

It'll be a very busy 10 days here at Busy Bee Stitchery, that's for SURE!!!

Welcome to our new blog!

I'm so excited to announce our new blog, Busy At Busy Bee Stitchery! We'll be using this blog to keep a little behind the scenes diary of what goes on here at Busy Bee Stitchery :) There's always new projects being worked on, fun craft nights being planned, crazy shopping trips, Sarah and Rachel trying to get Brooke out of bed for an early craft show...we'll post lots of pictures, and keep everyone up to date on the happenings of the girls of Busy Bee Stitchery!
