Just Kidding!

I can get busy now and update my website and I am asking each of you to come and visit us there. We will be having many more freebies!

"2" More Days to Comment ! ! !

Hello Everyone, I am so excited about all of the comments that have been made about Lanie Jane.com.

They are wonderful and helpful. I am grateful for the insights and suggestions that you have given to us. I have two men who are helping with the remodel. It will be exciting when it is finally finished and then I can focus on new projects and new patterns and of course new fabrics and tons of new ideas.

I wanted to remind any one out there to comment if they want to, because we only have 2 days left (Jan 28th is the last day to comment).

It will be impossible for me to "choose a comment that has helped the most." Many of you have mentioned the same things and that just doesn't seem to be a very fair way to choose a winner. I guess I didn't think that through very well. So now I am thinking that I will use the random.org. I hope that will give everyone a better chance.

Here is another idea that has been made with Amy Butler's "LOVE" fabric.

These bags were made to wrap Christmas presents for little girls. The pocket is for a card.

They double as a place to keep the toys after Christmas. The little dolls inside and the accessories are much easier to keep track of when there is a specific place to store them. Also, it is a convenient way to take the dolls in the car to play with on the road.

Thanks again everyone who commented!

I better get to bed now since it is 2:22 am and I have a busy day tomorrow.

I will be here again on, Thursday, January 29th.

"Happy Thoughts "

A New Freebie for someone that wants to Critique our Little Store!!

After the holidays, I took some time to relax and recoup. Sometimes too much fun can be quite exhausting. But now after a long needed rest, I am ready to go again.

The Freebie in December was so much fun that I thought I would start out the new year with another contest. Our little store is in need of some alterations and I am inviting all of you out there to give us some advice.

Off the subject----I was emailing back and forth with one of our last months winners. She said, talking about her own blog, sometimes it feels like I am "talking to myself." That is exactly how I feel right now. Is there anyone out there?

Ok, back to the freebie. As I said, our little store is about to undergo some modifications. Before I start with the remodel, I would like to invite all of you to send us some honest suggestions and criticism. Your feedback is what I am looking for. In return for your help, we will be giving away, to our lucky winner, a 1/2 yard bundle of the new Amy Butler fabric line entitled LOVE. Our desire is to accept your straight forward and frank thoughts on how we can improve our little shop. Your input is very important to us so don't worry about hurting our feelings--we can take it. Is there anything that is confusing as you manuever around the site? What would make your shopping experience better--price, inventory, different fabrics, menu...whatever? Through reading your suggestions, I hope to gain some perspective and see our little store from a different point of view.

We will choose the comment that we feel is most helpful to us as we modify our site.

Amy Butler's "LOVE" designs are gorgeous.
The project possibilities are endless. Here are some pictures of projects made from the "LOVE" fabric to look at:

Amy Butler said, "I couldn't be more excited about LOVE! My newest fabric collection for Rowan has me reeling. I've gone over-the-top with prints and color to make a luscious and yet "bite-sized" collection. A marriage by design coming from a love affair of rich, soulful, organic florals and architectural prints passionately inspired by my recent trips to Indonesia and England. Rich tropical colors with ethnic imprints, and elegance found in over the top florals like full roses and exploding peony blossoms join together in an optimistic celebration of print and color.
~ Enjoy! XO Amy"
