{Purposeful Giveaway} Apliiq

12.18.11

Feeling creative?

Feeling like you want to make something beyond salt dough ornaments and Christmas cookies?

Well, you came to the right place.

Apliiq. Where you customize your own clothing from start to finish–they call it fabric expression.

There’s something really gratifying about designing your own apparel there. So many fabrics to choose from. I could spend a shamefully long time on their site.

Okay, maybe I have already.

Not only did I customize a sweet top that has become one of my current faves (I like to call it Asian Spice), I started our own storefront there for The Sparrow Fund.

For every item sold from our storefront, Apliiq donates 20% to The Sparrow Fund.

How cool is that?

So, this giveaway is going to have a little bit of a different spin to it. It’s going to be a little bit of a friendly competition of sorts.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
  
As with the rest of the purposeful giveaways, no need to be a blog follower to enter. But, it sure has been fun seeing the new faces pop up over there to the right. So, feel free!


What you gotta do to enter is head right over HERE. Have some fun customizing something–whatever you like. They’ve got tons to choose from for men, women, and little snicker doodles. When you are done, click on the SHARE IT button on the bottom to show it off. And, then click on SAVE IT to add it to The Sparrow Fund’s Apliiq storefront.


Create up to 3 designs for 3 chances to win!

__________________________________________________________

On January 2nd, Ethan, one of the hearts and brains behind Apliiq, and myself will choose our favorite design and that person will receive it totally free!

Isn’t that fun? 

Enjoy some fabric expression as a wrapping or cookie-making break or let your kids help you design something neat during the week after Christmas. Make it a family effort to make Mama her own sweet top. Could be fun!

You only have through Monday, January 2nd to show us your fabric expression. 
We’ll choose a winner from our favorites after that.




And, that is the last of the purposeful giveaways, folks. 

But, go ahead and bookmark the link the button above takes you to–because there you will find 29 very fun, purposeful places to shop all. year. round.



WINNER:



So many choices! So many fun designs and colors and patterns. After hours of deliberations and wiping the sweat from our brow, Viva one for her creation Sunny Squared. 

Other noteworthy creations are the Bandit Beauty and Barb(ara Streisand) cardi (I’m a total victim to marketing–the name was too much!), another sweet dress that lacks a name but makes up for that in design, and the simply named Orange Flower Bag.



Go shop people and know you are supporting The Sparrow Fund when you do!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
