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.
