RAFFLE GIVEAWAY:
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE ENTRY, especially the bold text – there is a lot of information in this post. For updates you can follow us on Twitter or Facebook. We also have a forum thread going for feedback and ideas.
There is more information about Owen and his family over here.
Patience has a small outstanding order with Sweet Libertine. Several people have asked, so if someone wants to buy an eye shadow for her they can go to http://sweetlibertine.com/ and use code OCTFREESHIP for free shipping, and I will add it to her order, and I will also be adding more extras. Please just put a note to seller in paypal noting it’s for Patience. I will be holding the order until I know exactly where to send it to.
And for color preferences – anything bright or intensely colored, and any glitters. If people order a duplicate in this RAK package I will email and let them know and we can pick a substitution.
When I woke up this morning, I got my typical breakfast and sat down to the computer and got some very shocking and heartbreaking news.
A beloved customer of Sweet Libertine lost her husband. There was no warning – and they are young. News is still coming in, but it seems to be from cardiac arrest – if someone else knows any more info, let me know. Patience is in the UK, but was/is a US citizen, and is pretty much there with no source of income or blood relatives. She has friends driving from all over to be with her, but those of us in the US (and other countries) want to do something.
So we are having a raffle. There will be one Sweet Libertine prize pack for the Grand Prize. We have numerous people donating yarn, stitch markers, etc., since most of us know Patience through a knitting website. I will be posting the prizes as they roll in – if you want to donate a prize, please email me at sarah@sweetlibertine.com with a picture of the donation. We will be having the donators send the prizes directly to the winners due to time constraints.
TO ENTER: Go over to Patience’s ChipIn fund website. Donate money. Forward your email confirmation to sweetlibertinecosmetics@gmail.com. Every $5 equals one entry into the raffle, and every person that enters will automatically be sent a 20% discount code to Sweet Libertine.
We will pick a winner Sunday, October 24th at 9pm EST. A drawing will be held for each prize. Because so many awesome people are donating items this page will be updated frequently with new prizes.
