I will be adding a item to each album and the items will get bigger and better with ever new album that is created.
                                                                           RULES

4. Do not comment on the album photos until you are instructed to do so. On the first night of the giveaway you will be able to answer the questions on album #1 only and that album will remain open for 24 hours then I will announce the winners.

WHAT A SUCCESS!!!

All I can say is WOW!!
I have so much I wanna say but don't even know where to start.
(so Ill apologize now for any rambling that may occur)

When I woke up the other morning, I had about 800 fans and I decided
"Hey, I'm gonna do a give away when I hit 1000" and that's where it all began.
3 days of nothing but checking emails, sending emails, posting pictures and information about the 40+ sponsors that wanted to donate, to the Totally Tutus 1000 fan giveaway, and never asked for a thing in return.
All in all we gave away over $2000 away in prizes.

As I got more and more donations from such generous businesses that were just starting out and had very little fans, it made me realize that although I am still small, it wasn't that long ago that I remember struggling to hit just 100 fans and when I hit that mark I thought I was well on my way to the top of the world of tutu making. (boy was I wrong....LOL). 
The smallest amount of help when you are just starting out is a big thing and even though us smaller WAHM's (work at home moms) that run majority if not all of our business through Facebook don't like to admit it but our fans are a big deal to us.
In the end knowing that I helped these smaller businesses get their names and product out there gave me such a wonderful feeling of joy. Knowing that I have helped increase their fan base by even 1, (although I have been informed by most that it has been over 100), it makes all the hard work and dedication I put into this giveaway well worth it.......

So worth it in fact that I plan to do another at 2000 fans, but only bigger and better, and not as much posting on my end....LOL.....and you do have to admit that, that was a lot of posting. So for those that did not partake in the big event I'm sorry for all the spam.

I already have businesses old and new donating to this wonderful giveaway...
but more to come on that as soon as I catch up on all the thank yous and orders and the 1000 emails. OK well not that many more like 67 or so but it sure feels like that many. :o)

Words will never express how thankful I am to everyone that was involved in making this giveaway such a success. Without you it would have been nothing.

1000 fan giveaway

Once I reach 1000 fans, I will be holding a giveaway involving not only products from Totally Tutus but from many other fab. businesses. I will post an album on my page with all the wonderful giveaways.
It will not only be simple but fun, there may be a few tweaks here and there to the outline of the contest as this is my first time hosting something this big but it wont be anything dramatic. 

So what I have so far as to how it will work is....

When I get to the big 1000 I will then notified everyone of the date.
The length of the game will depend on the amount of donations received, which I will be accepting right up until the start of the game.
You must be available to participate on the evening of the game.
I will post a picture of the giveaway of the moment with a question that you will be required to answer. (questions will be decided upon later, and dont worry it wont be anything skill testing so you wont need a calculator...lol)
You will then need to go and "LIKE" the other page that donated.
You are more then welcome to pre-like a page but remember you will have to be present the night of the game.
There will be no time limit as to how fast you have to answer the questions and like the other page, as long as it is done before the end of the contest.
Winner of each giveaway will be chosen by Random.org.
Your number will based on when you replied, (if you were the first then your #1 and so on)
You are aloud to "LIKE" all the pages and answer all the questions to increase your chances of winning but please NO multiple entries (I will be checking).
Once I announce the contest is closed, I will then begin the somewhat time consuming job of picking the winners.
Do to facebooks rules and regulations regarding contests and giveaways I will then need to email the winners first before I post it on the page.
Once I have emailed you, please let me know that you have received my email..... you then have 48 hours to claim your prize. You will be given directions on how to proceed to do so.
