Market Your Biz and Giveaways #49 + Fashion to Figure Review

Happy Tuesday, my dear friends! Come on in and link up your family-friendly online businesses and giveaways. It has been long said that businesses are the lifeblood of the economy. Not only that, businesses really fuel the economy. This blog party, solely dedicated to promoting businesses and giveaways, is my way of giving back to the community so welcome to Market Your Biz & Giveaways!

Gina (who, by the way, already guest posted in my Blogging for Dollars Series) from the Shabby Creek Cottage said it best, "You may not get a sale directly from that site every single day – but you are building brand recognition. Pepsi does not advertise so that you stop what you’re doing and go directly to buy a drink – but when you do need to quench your thirst and you are shopping for a drink, Pepsi is going to be recognizable to you. Bottom line, you need to build your brand!" This blog party helps you accomplish build your brand.

Business owners, we wanna see your products. Giveaways are good because they create a buzz about your business. Giveaway hosts, we wanna join! Readers, here's your chance to win fabulous freebies. So come on in and participate in this virtual marketplace.

Featured Biz

Our featured biz today is Fashion to Figure, a store that specializes in trendy plus size clothing and fashion to women.

Fashion to Figure is a leader in plus size fashion. When it comes to plus sizes, they work very hard to design trendy plus size clothing that will appeal to fashionable women of all sizes. They started this business with the understanding that many women feel there is limited selection when it comes to plus size clothing. They see no reason why women’s plus size clothing should be limited in selection, and it’s their goal to give their customers as much choice as possible when it comes to plus size apparel.

When they contacted me to try their products, I ordered this zig-zag clutch purse that's chic, textured and versatile, with a zig-zag woven into the front flap. Faux-suede earns it extra points in the classy column.

Since Princess One is a purple-loving girl, I got her this crochet ruffle scarf.

Overall, from ordering to delivery, I had a great experience buying from Fashion to Figure, not to mention the excellent products that I received.

Featured Biz

Our featured biz today is Linens, Lace, and Lattes. Selling vintage linens, fancywork, lace and vintage sewing notions is her passion!. She loves buying these beautiful items and passing on to those who love them as much as she does! She is lucky enough to live in an area where there are many estate auctions so she can come home with boxes of 'rescued' linens and sewing notions most weekends. She saves those which she just can't part with and enjoy finding new homes for the rest. She would love to send some to your house!

I'm totally smitten with this Tablecover with Pink and White Crochet Inserts and Pink Black Embroidery.

This pair of Embroidered Southern Belle Hand Towels Pinks and Blues is a favorite of mine because both reminded me of my embroidery and cross-stitching days.

Market Your Biz & Giveaways #39 + Canvas People Review

Happy Tuesday, my dear friends! You know what that means :) It means it's time to get to know businesses out there and join giveaways.

Before we get into our party, let me share with you my experience with Canvas People. I contacted them a few months ago because I wanted to have our family picture printed in a 16 x 20 canvas, and I'm so glad I did. They were very professional in dealing with me as evidenced in their email and phone communications. As an added bonus, they helped me every inch of the way, like giving a tip on the best resolution of the picture (in this case 1152x1440) and keeping me updated through an email on the shipping status of my order til I received it.

Why did I decide to order a canvas picture? I just thought a canvas would make a perfect keepsake. I've seen so many tutorials on how to make canvas on the cheap but since I want something long-lasting, I decided it won't hurt to shell some extra money for quality.

Now it's a lovely addition to our barren hallway and we can enjoy those precious moments for years to come with this beautiful canvas portrait.



Here is our family picture that I wanted to display on a canvas.

Unfortunately, in this preview that they sent me, my ear and some of my hair would get wrapped around the side. Ditto with my mother on the other side.

Good thing that they were patient enough for me to execute Plan B and that is to have another picture taken.

Sure enough, no body part got cutoff and this looked a lot better in the preview so off I went to approve and pay it, and it got shipped to me quickly.

Since I have a pleasant experience working with them, I will definitely have more of our photos printed on canvas with Canvas People.
