MOO Giveaway at Planet Penny!

As you may have gathered, I’m in the run up to taking part in the Norfolk and Norwich Open Studios again at the end of May and there are quite a  few little extras which I need to get in place so it all goes smoothly. One of the essentials are eye catching business cards, the sort that people keep because they are pretty!  I discovered MOO a year or so ago, and took advantage of their introductory offer of 10 free business cards.  I was so pleased when they arrived that I immediately order a boxful and have used them ever since.  It’s nice to have a card which when you offer one to someone it becomes a talking point. Designing on line is really easy, and you can download a PDF to see exactly how your designs look before you finalise your order. Theoretically you can have a different image on every card, which is a great idea but I never have time to take advantage it.  Also, I found on occasions that people have actually wanted to look through the selection so they can choose one, and if I had 100 individual  designs that would be a bit of a pain! This is my current selection…Moo Business cards Not long after I received this order I was contacted by MOO to see if I would like to promote their cards with a giveaway for Planet Penny readers, and I’m always really happy to share good stuff with you all.  There’s not just one, but THREE prizes!

This then is what it’s all about… “Who are MOO? They make business cards and just love to print – whether it’s creative business card design, MiniCards, Postcards, Stickers, Holiday Cards and much more!

MOO are proud to be business card printingspecialists – either upload your own images or graphics to create truly creative cards, or you can opt for a designer template and customise with your own details.

MOO cards The Giveaway will be open until next Sunday and  the MOO team and I are looking forward to reading your comments.

The Knitted Home – Ruth Cross … The Winner!

The Knitted Home - jacket

Two weeks ago I reviewed this great new book by Ruth Cross, The Knitted Home and offered a copy as the prize in a draw.   There was a fantastic response: sixty comments in all, with some great knitting stories.  It’s amazing how long some people have been knitting, so many people being taught by mums, and grannies.  One person taught herself from a Ladybird book, and another learnt over the phone!

The one that made me laugh out loud was this… “My Grandpa taught me to knit, with his method that no child forgets! ”stab it, strangle it and pull its head off” not for the weak and feeble…” Thanks to Penelope Brown for that one, I shall use it myself!

I’m glad I made it a draw rather than saying it would be the best story which won because I wouldn’t have been able to decide.  I allocated numbers to each entrant and use the online Random Number Generator which is a quick and fair way to select a winner (although it immediately makes me feel bad about everyone who didn’t win!)

Anyway, enough rambling on, the lucky winner is…number 16….Natalie, of Free Spirit Designs.  Congratulations!

Now Natalie doesn’t actually knit yet, so I really hope this is the start of her knitting career.  The Free Spirit Designs blog is here, and the Facebook Page is here so we’ll have to call in regularly to check up on Natalie’s progress!

(Don’t forget you can still buy the book at a special price, see the original post for details)

I will be back very soon with another fantastic and generous giveaway from the lovely chaps at MOO!  I’m sure you need some business cards, postcards or similar…?
