________________________________________________________

This year has flown by in record time! With Christmas fast approaching, it's time again to say thanks for all the blessings in my life and the wonderful experiences I had over the last 12 months. It never ceases to amaze me how much love and kindness there is in this world. The beautiful emails and notes from my fans and clients are truly cherished and inspire me to share my talents with all of you. Mamique Designs continued to grow this past year and nearly doubled the number of fans it had at this time last year.

It is the season for giving and I'm a true believer in giving back, not only to the people who have helped Mamique Designs grow and prosper, but also to those organizations run by volunteers who selflessly give their time and talents to families and children in need.

Last year, Mamique Designs donated $100 to a charity that had the most entries. It looks like so many of you are doing an amazing job supporting some truly wonderful organizations. Thank you for all that you do! This year, I took the 3 most popular charities from last year's giveaway and the charity with the most votes will receive a $200 donation! And in keeping with the tradition, everyone who votes will be entered into a draw to win this adorable newborn hat.

So, what do I have to do, you ask? Well, it's really quite simple:

- visit the Mamique Designs page on Facebook

- to vote for a charity you MUST be a ‘fan’ (or under the new facebook system ‘like’) Mamique Designs

- click ‘like’ on the image of the charity you are voting for in the Mamique Designs album labeled ‘2010 Christmas Charity Giveaway’

- Charity with the most ‘likes’ will receive a $200 donation from Mamique Designs; comments permitted, but WILL NOT count towards the total number of votes

- voting will close at noon PST on Saturday, December 25th, 2010 and the donation will be made by December 30th, 2010

- all people who voted will be entered into a random draw to win the hat shown above (only 1 entry per person allowed)

- the winner will be chosen at noon PST on Saturday, December 25th, 2010 and will be announced on this blog and on the Mamique Designs page on Facebook and will be asked to contact Mamique Designs for details on how to claim their prize

- in the event the winner declines the prize, the hat will be sold and 100% off the proceeds will be donated to the charity with the most votes.

Don't forget the store will re-open on January 4th, 2011.

Wishing you and your family a very peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
