Blah, Blah, Blah.....

Mr. GGG is working now on sending out emails for the August waiting list (he has volunteered to do it and to take over most of the email correspondence so you all will get faster responses).  I want to share a few things that are on my brain as he does this....first of all, let me affirm that the Aug. waiting list IS being done differently than normal.  During the past few weeks, I have been blessed enough to receive a very large amount of emails requesting custom pieces.  And while I love and appreciate all the interest in GGG, I'm not sure I'm doing a very good job at keeping up with the demand.  In addition, I have two local craft shows coming up in October that I need to use the next couple of months to prepare for.  So, for the next 2 months, the custom system is a little different.  I used random.org to randomly select the people who are on the August list.  Fortunately, it turned out to be a nice mixture of both old and new customers.  I am also limiting the number of pieces to those on the list to two this time around.  My goal as I work through this round of customs, is to also have plenty of opportunities for you score some GGG through other methods including RTG uploads, Made To Order dresses, a few fun shirt uploads (I have some cool ideas for these), and of course, giveaways.  Please keep in mind that on top of all of this, I also will be creating for the craft shows AND most importantly, trying to spend a little extra time loving on my littles before school starts (being a mommy is my most important job of all).  A regular GGG waiting list will resume again in October in time for plenty of holiday dresses!

Congratulations to...

Jennifer Martinez!  The random number generator over at random.org spat out the number 34!  Jennifer, please contact me at gogo.goldfish@yahoo.com so we can discuss your custom set!  As I said on my Facebook page, I'll have a few dresses to upload tomorrow that are ready to ship (well, actually there are at least 9 dresses...and I may get one or two more done between now and then).  Next weekend I'll be uploading some of those skirts that I promised you all weeks ago, and the weekend after than we'll be having an all Disney upload!  So exciting things are to come!  If you're wanting a custom spot for August, don't forget to leave a comment in the blog post below.  I'll be randomly selecting names for the list sometime this week.  I'll also be finishing up many of July's custom orders this week (there may be a few that run into the first week of August, but I'm going to try my best to get them all out asap).  ALSO, I need to catch up on my giveaway prize production first (hee, hee...I do so many I get behind on those, too), but there IS a BIG giveaway coming up in the next few weeks.  And I do mean BIG...stick around guys, you're gonna LOVE it!!!  ;)

The August Waiting List

So I know I have told several people that I would email them when the August list is open, but to be completely honest people, I'm a little overwhelmed by my inbox these days.  I've had so many emails recently inquiring about the Aug. list that I've frankly lost track....so, because I need a way to be fair and because the next 2 months will be working a bit differently since I have two upcoming craft fairs to prepare for, if you'd like to be on the list please leave a comment below.  Include both your name and an email you can be reached at.  I will leave commenting open for the next few days so that everyone who wants to leave a comment has a chance and then I will be randomly selecting a few names.  The August list will be shorter than July's due to some upcoming events, but I will also be offering ready to go uploads on a regular basis over the next two months (starting with an all Disney themed upload in August in response to the many, many emails I've received about upcoming Disney trips)....which I'm totally excited about!    So comment away people, I'm excited as always to see who I will be creating for this month! ;)

The 1000 Fan Giveaway

Oh my goodness, what a week!!!  I've been sort of quiet over on Facebook this week and mostly that's because I've been sewing, cutting, planning, shipping, spending some time with my sweet babies, and sewing some more....I've said it before but I'll say it again, it's so hard to be productive with the computer open!   I do realize a lot of you are waiting on emails and I apologize as I have fallen behind a bit.  The good news is that I've sweet talked Mr. GGG into helping me get caught up...with my help and my voice, he'll be emailing most of you over the next week to answer your questions, send photos, iron out orders, and give you updates!  What a good man! ;)  I will be out of town over the next couple of days playing with my own littles and a few other pretty awesome families that we went through the crazy process of adoption with, but while I'm away, I thought I'd go ahead and put up the 1000 fan Giveaway for you all to have fun with!  I was hoping to get a photo before I put it up to show off the prize a bit, but no such luck.  Hopefully, before it ends, I'll get to that!  Anyway, the 1000 Fan Giveaway will run from now until Friday, July 22nd.  The winner will win a CUSTOM coordinating GGG set which will include a Mama size skirt, a child size skirt (or sibling skirts if there are siblings), and a matching doll skirt!  To enter, please leave a comment on the blog.  For an extra entry, please share about GGG in your Facebook status by hyperlinking the GGG page (do this by typing @Go Go Goldfish into your status bar) to yours, then leave a second comment here letting me know you did it.  The winner will be randomly chosen the evening of July 22nd.  Good luck, friends!

A Winner!!!

Thank you to everyone participated in the 900 fan giveaway!  I can't tell you all how very much I enjoy reading all the comments each time I do one!  Thank you also to those of you who shared about GGG or the giveaway on their own Facebook walls...I really can't tell you how much it means that you take the time to do that!  I will try and post a bit more detailed of a rundown of the coming week at GGG in the next day or two when I have it more sorted out (but right now I'm sort of just enjoying some much needed family time this weekend). I'll also be posting the 1000 fan Giveaway sometime very soon, so stay tuned for that as well!  But for now, let's get on with the 900 fan winner!  I plugged the numbers into random.org and it gave me........#9, which belongs to....Judy Vergara!!!!  Congrats, Judy!  Please email me to discuss the details of your new custom creation!  And Happy 4th of July to all...hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!!

The 900 Fan Giveaway

I'm busily working here on the very last of the benefit orders (like less than a handful are left), lots of customs, and some pretty fun skirts for the upload on Friday....whew...it's busy here this week ( super busy...I was awake until 5:30am this morning working and back up at 8:00am working again).  If I owe you an email or if I'm late on your order, please know I'll get there....it's busy. :)  While I'm working away over here, I thought I would put up the 900 fan giveaway for all of you guys though!  This giveaway will be for a free custom DRESS (and of course, if you're a boy mama, I'll do a hoodie).  To enter, just leave a comment on the blog below.  For a SECOND entry, please post about this giveaway or hyperlink Go Go Goldfish in your Facebook status and then leave a second post here on the blog that you did it!!!  A winner will be randomly selected this Saturday evening!  Good luck, friends!

We have a WINNER....and little rundown of things to come! ;)

First of all, I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated and entered the 800 fan Giveaway for the Pinwheel Twirl skirt!  I cannot tell you how uplifting and encouraging your comments were to me this week!  It's been a rough week to say the least, and I know I wouldn't have handled it quite as gracefully without all the support I've received!  Figuring out everything that has been opened/taken/purchased/etc. in my name may be a long road, but I have taken all the appropriate first steps and I am confident things will be resolved eventually. 

Before I announce the winner, I want to let you know that this week's giveaway is only the first in a series of new and different giveaways that are yet to come.  I will announce the 900 fan giveaway on here sometime in the next few days.  Each giveaway during the next few weeks will be better than the next, and will include some items that you've never seen from me before, leading up to one kind of crazy (so crazy I have hesitated even doing it) prize to be given away when I hit 1200 fans on Facebook (not that far away)!  Are you excited yet?  I know I am!  Also, please note that if you are still waiting on a benefit order, the rest of those should be mailed out tomorrow and Monday.  I do have a large batch to mail in the morning and then I will be out of town on Sunday of this weekend, but will try to finish all remaining benefit orders tomorrow so that they can go the P.O. Monday.  Next week is completely dedicated to finishing all private customs that are waiting before I start on July's list.  So.......without further ado....there were 87 comments for the giveaway this week.  I've plugged those numbers into random.org and it gave me.......................number 87 (that doesn't happen very often!)!!!!  Congrats, Nikkie Strain!  Please email me at gogo.goldfish@yahoo.com so we can discuss the design for you new skirt! :)
