Hello All,
Yeah yeah yeah I know it's been nearly a month since I posted, sorry life gets in the way sometimes and I mean to and then I get sidetracked and realize I can't think of anything to say that sounds even mildly intelligent. For those of you that are now asking ok Casey what does the movie 27 dresses have to do with making clothes and exploring your creative process.....I know you're thinking it, it's OK I'd probably be thinking the same thing if it wasn't my bright idea of course! So here it is...........
27 Dresses is one of my favorite movies but it actually has very little to do with this idea other than providing a catchy title. I have issued myself a challenge, over the next 30 days I am going to feature a different dress on my Quilted Elephant Facebook page. Some will be pictures from the archives that you might have seen when you first started visiting the page, some might be designs you recognize but in a fabric or length you've never seen, some might even be pictures of me (taken in the mornings before I go to work by my super sweet husband who would usually much rather be sleeping than taking my picture) and some might be pictures of some of my loyal fans wearing their favorite Quilted Elephant dress. My goal with this little exercise is to make the commitment to actually tend to my Facebook page on a daily (or every other day basis) and to reacquaint some of you with Quilted Elephant. I have been sewing quite a bite lately, but I haven't been posting many pictures, usually because I'm repeating a design in another fabric and I don't want y'all to get bored, but I figure if I post one a day for the next 27 (ok maybe 30 days in case I miss one or 3) days they won't seem redundant and you as my loyal followers might see something that you would like to have. That's the best part about this challenge, if you place an order for a ''dress of the day'' within 24 hours of it being posted you will get 10% off your order and free shipping on that item. (If multiple items are ordered you will get 10% off the entire order and discounted shipping to account for your dress of the day order).
The 27 Dresses Challenge will officially start on Friday, June 7, 2013. The daily dress will be posted daily by 6pm and can be ordered at the discounted rate for 24 hours, even if I post the next days photo in a shorter time frame. I look forward to hearing from all of you and for those of you out there that are hold outs and have Quilted Elephant dresses that you've never sent me pictures of cough 'em you could be part of my 27 dresses challenge. At the end of the challenge I will post all 27 dresses here so everyone can take one last look!
Thanks for reading and as always I look forward to your input

Brilliant! What a fun and creative way to get readers and customers over to your blog AND a good way to get yourself to show up too! Have you had any luck installing Google Friends Connect? I know it makes it easier for people to visit regularly and see updates. So I'm issuing myself a challenge...to keep up with your 27 dresses ;) You are a creative force my friend! xoxox
ReplyDeleteTommorrow is the big day! Hopefully I can stick to it! Be warned that your face may appear a time or 2 in the 27 dresses challenge since you are one of my most loyal customers not to mention one of the only ones that sends me pictures on a regular basis!
