Thanks to all of our prize donors, participating shops, and all who blogged and tweeted on Twitter about our contest. A special thank you goes out to Etsy.com for tweeting about our contest! I know our numbers were boosted by the @Etsy mention.

Of course, a great big thank you goes out to all who entered and found the leprechauns. Lots of the entrants mentioned how much fun they were having finding the little guys. I’m glad it was entertaining as well!

I must say that I am very impressed by how this team has come together in the past few months. Our members share resources and information with each other all the time on our Google Group. A few new projects have been created by some of our members in part by belonging to the team. So if you participated in this promotion or not, I want to say that I really do love running this team and being a part of such a wonderful group. We are the best team on Etsy!

And what might you win? Our team donated some very lovely prizes!

From Soap Rehab: Wasabi Ginger Soap Bar is bright, green, and fresh--all the good stuff but without the bite! Notes of eucalyptus, ginger, and top notes of lemon and a hint of mint make for a refreshing clean feeling.

From Fat Daddy Sweets: Wonderfully buttery, creamy sweet goodness. These soft vanilla caramels are handmade, cut and rolled and will cure any sweet tooth!

From Tamdoll: Fabric Button Brooch - Frayed edged fabrics, button sewn on, pin on the back.

From Emily Claire Creations: Shimmery silver chimes with amethyst and moss green cat's eye beads. A silver leaf toggle clasp completes this enchanted ensemble. This bracelet measures at 7 1/4" (excluding the clasp). It is made to wear a little loose, so it may shimmer with any wrist movement.

From Joslin Jewels: Faceted and translucent beads of natural green chrysoprase, each adorned with a sterling silver bead cap resembling a three-leaf clover, suspended from handmade sterling silver ear wires.

Thank you to Sheridan, from Joslin Jewels, who made the great leprechaun graphic for our contest!!

I Need Shops for Our Promotion!

St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt: Find the Leprechaun

To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day we are having a scavenger hunt to “Find the Leprechaun”! A random selection of participating shops will hide a picture of a “leprechaun” in one of their item listings. A list of participating shops will be on the team blog post announcing the contest. To enter the contest people must send an email to etsytwitterteam@gmail.com with the web address or URL of the item with the “leprechaun” in the listing.

Winners will be chosen at random from the entries for one of 5 prizes. They may enter more than once as long as each entry is for a different item that has a “leprechaun”. Entries must be received by midnight EST on March 16th. The drawing will take place on March 17th.

Since our team is so large I cannot let every shop participate – the list on the blog will be too long. I’m taking the first 30 shops that send an email to etsytwitterteam@gmail.com. Your email MUST include your Etsy shop address. If your email does not include your Etsy shop address I will not count you as part of the 30 on the list. If you have two shops, please only sign up with one shop. Please have at least 10 items for sale in your shop.

I am in need of five donations for prizes. Let me know in an email to etsytwitterteam@gmail.com if you are willing to donate a prize. Tell me about the prize you wish to donate in the email. If you have a URL for your donation so I can see it that would help me very much. If you donate a prize you will be responsible for mailing the prize to the winner. I will give you the shipping info when I receive it from the winners. I will need a photograph of your prize for the blog as soon as I let you know you will be a prize giver.

Only 10 shops will hide a leprechaun. I want people to really have to hunt through our shops to find the leprechauns. I will let you know if your shop has been chosen to hide a leprechaun as soon as I get enough team shops signed up.

When the blog post is up with the list of shops I expect everyone to promote the contest on Twitter and your blogs. We need to get the word out to as many people as possible for this to work out well.
