Here’s your assignment this week:

If you’ve been browsing the pages of Designs Nov/Dec. 2011 issue, you’re probably wondering what happened to Platinum Embroidery’s ad on page 81. It wasn’t a typo, Platinum Embroidery wanted their ad displayed in that manner. Tell me what was different about their ad and you could win a $35.00 gift certificate to Designs’ website. Hope you win!

Eileen's Machine Embroidery Blog

We have lots of winners to announce this week!  4 Winners will receive $25 Gift Certificates to spend on SWAKembroidery.com and 1 luck winner will receive Designer Handbags!

The FOUR winners of last week’s assignment answered the following question: Christmas decorations and ornaments can evoke warm memories of childhood. What’s your favorite motif? Is it a star, reindeer, Santa, snowflakes or a menorah? Do you have a central theme running through your holiday decorations? Share your thoughts and you could be one of four lucky winners this week. What’s the prize? FOUR lucky winners will receive a $25.00 gift certificate from SWAKembroidery.com!

And the FOUR lucky winners are….
Winner 1:  Donna G. “Most of our decorations are those that have been handed down through the family, or are handmade. It makes for eclectic decor, but great holiday traditions and memories!”

Winner 2.  Beth R. “I love snowflakes, especially free-standing lace ornaments.  But then again, I love any ornament – the only theme that my decorations follow is ‘most anything (within reason) goes!”

Winner 3.  Tammy: “I am addicted to SWAK embroidery!!!  I have been coveting that mitten!   I LOVE Angels of any shape or size!!!  They are my favorite Christmas motif — Santas come in a close 2nd!!!!!”

Winner 4.  Doree Shandera: “My favorite ornaments are nativity scene ones. We have collected several over the years. Next favs are all the ornaments our 4 kids have made over the years.  We put them all on and have many fond memories.”

Congratulations to everyone!

Last Friday we posted a blog on Designer Handbags and asked the following question:
Want to win a copy of Designer Handbags? Just post a comment to tell me which of the fabric choices, Group A, B, C or D, shown above, did Nancy select for the taping and you could be the winner. The winner will be announced December 7, 2011

  • Michelle

    When working in the add department at the newspaper many years ago, I remember placing an add upside down to attract the eye. When it ran later, it was done in reverse (black background with the lettering in white) which really catches your attention.

  • Jean

    The ad was upside down – really makes it stand out!

  • Donna G.

    Whew! When i got my copy of the magazine and saw the upside down ad, I thought it was a huge mistake for the printers to overlook. Now I see it as a cool way to grab our attention!

    I have to say it did catch my eye and nice to know they asked it to be placed upside down. I thought it was a printer mistake and someone was going to be in trouble haha.

    I thought it was an error at first. I thought about it some more and wondered if they wanted to grab our attention.

    Great list of deals in one place! I’ve used Embroider This for great blanks for gifts to embroider on and enjoyed the free designs.

    All of us at Platinum Embroidery want to say THANKS for having fun with us and our ad. The Designs staff were so great to accomodate us and I think they had as much fun with it as we did. We want to say thanks to our favorite Magazine Designs and their staff, and to all of the readers and wish you all a very Merry Christmas. We hope you will come visit us often as new things are always coming into play.
