Filed under Giveaways, New Year Gnomes Kit, Sale

Yay! We made it through another holiday season! Don’t get me wrong: by July I’ll be playing Christmas music again (really… I drive the shipping staff crazy). But after the flurry of newsletters last week

A recap of some of the lovely things announced last week in all of those Cat’s Away newsletters are below (all of which are in a special Giveaway)! But first:

Save an EXTRA 10% off the ENTIRE SITE! That’s 10% above current sale prices! Even if the item is already marked down as a clearance item!

Use Promo Code: HAPPY2020 when checking out. No minimum purchase required (excludes gift certificates/cards, shipping, taxes). May not be combined with another discount code.

The coupon discount ends at midnight (PST) SUNDAY NIGHT, January 5, 2020!

 
Day 1 was a Valentine’s Theme

Hooray for the After-Xmas Sale Recap Giveaway!

EVERYTHING in the highlights above is included in today’s Giveaway! Wow! That’s 12 items (more than that as the first item shown on Day 4 is a kit!!)

To enter the After-Xmas Sale Recap Giveaway drawing all you have to do is leave a comment BELOW on this blog post TODAY or TOMORROW (the deadline is 11:59 pm PST, FRIDAY Night, January 3, 2020).

Don’t forget to leave your (hello!) correct email address, too, so I can contact the winner; your email address does not need to be made public. Note: I’m offering free shipping, too, but only within the USA. International shipping will still apply.
