Grand Opening and Giveaway!

After several months of struggle and figuring out how and what I wanted to do, the day has finally come. My website is LIVE.

Welcome to the grand opening of Purple Shark Crafts!

purplesharkcrafts.weebly.com

 A little back story on the name. Before Christmas last year my oldest son (R) asked for a shark for one of his gifts. He wanted to be able to get inside of it. When I asked him why, he said "to pretend like I am dead" (hahaha...kids).

So off to the drawing board I went. I spent a while looking at examples online and then began drafting my own pattern. After several hours and drafts, I had completed my own pattern (woot woot) and his shark was complete. Sharkie was brought to life (well as alive as he's gonna get).

Fans meet Sharkie! Sharkie these are my fans.

 
R was so excited when he opened him and was thrilled he could fit inside of him. 

Pretending like he is dead.

 The feeling I got from creating something all my own from the ground up was awesome. That's when I started to consider (again) starting a small business and blog.

Sharkie was part of the inspiration for the name of my business. I wanted something unique. After thinking of several ideas I didn't like I started to think about Sharkie. He was the first things i'd ever designed myself so it seemed fitting to have him in my business name. Blue Shark seemed too normal so I went with Purple because....well I like that color. And so the name Purple Shark Crafts was born. 

I had an awesome friend design the logo you see above and my SUPER AWESOME FABULOUS brother in law designed and drew my logo character. 

I love him!

 
 Then I started working on items to put in my shop and where to have my shop and what I wanted it to look like and (all the while getting some orders and trying to finish those).....anyway, i won't bore you with all the details but needless to say, a few months later here we are. The site is up and I wanna celebrate. 

I'll be giving away a hat....but not a specific hat...if you win you will get to pick ANY hat from my website in any color (or colors) you want. 

So follow the rafflecopter prompts and enter to win.
