Craft Giveaway 2015 I with Rainbowcraftykari

The Crafty Angels Giveaway 2015 ( I ) with Rainbow Craftykari 

I started thecraftyangels on an impulse when I was so lazily spending my maternity vacation with little grace. I launched the website on March 28th 2014 and now, TCA being a year old, we have more than 100 subscribers, almost 1000 facebook fans and almost 300 daily visits. What more occasion calls for a celebration like this? A series of giveaway 2015 just for you 🙂  I can’t ask for more , given the fact that blogging has taken a backseat ever since I joined back for work. Nevertheless, I love crafting and I love sharing my crafty adventures as well 🙂

TCA GIVEAWAY 2015 (1 ) SPONSOR : RAINBOW CRAFTYKARI

As a token of gratitude to all my readers and supporters, I have arranged a giveaway 2015 series of 6 giveaways running through 2 months starting today. For the first giveaway 2015, we have one of our lovely online Indian Craft store – Rainbow Craftykari sponsoring a gift voucher worth Rs.350.

Blog Introspection for one year anniversary

• I started this blog with the intention of sharing tutorials and although its been very difficult, I am happy that all my posts have been with tutorials.
• When I started this blog, I had done no crafts at all 😛 This journey of a year has taught me many things. I’m also happy that I have been able to learn many a new craft and also share my knowledge through tutorials.
• I had no goal as such like these many posts, this much traffic etc when I started this blog but I guess I should start giving myself some short-term goals so that I’m consistent with posting 🙂
• I havent been able to socialize much with other Indian craft bloggers because all of them are into card making & scrapbook which I have just started to appreciate recently. I hope to meet and work with many of your crafters out there in near future.
• Since I have a full-time job plus a little baby , I have been finding it difficult to post tutorials even 3 per month is getting difficult. I thought about paid craft tutorials initiative and also have posted about it here. I have a few takers for the programme and if in case you are a crafter too, you could work with me and earn some penny to restock your craft supplies 🙂

Get to know me session :

If you like to know something about me or the blog or anything technical about setting up your blog ( the whole blog setup and design has been done by me), you can drop them in the comments below.

Who are actually working behind thecraftyangels.com?

In absolute terms, its me ( Angela Jose) who is single-handedly managing the blog right from the themes,setups,craft,tutorials,posts,publicity..everything. My husband has never been against me spending thousand every month on craft supplies or having my unfinished projects everywhere from kitchen to dining table to bed! That way I guess he is also a contributing factor to growth of TCA although he declined my request to take over technical and PR heads for my blog 😛 Another person whom I would like to thank is my sister Priya who has been encouraging me with her words whenever I’m just so fed up and tell her that you- take my website 😛

What do you do other than craft?

I work full-time as Sr.Engineer in a Public Sector Power transmission Utility. Apart from office time, I spend time with my daughter – playing in park or just walking out here and there! The rest of my time is spent feeding her 😛 , putting her to sleep and some household chores.

What do you like to do other than craft?

I “LOVE” to sleep . Sleep is above food for me. But that totally changed after birth of my daughter. I’m so sleep deprived these days but when she is sleeping, I just cannot sleep thinking about how I could do a post on my blog in the meantime 😛 Since sleep is ruled out, my other obsession is online shopping 😀 I mostly shop for makeup & cosmetics ( after I have finished craft shopping :P)

So guys do not forget to make all entries as per rules given above for giveaway 2015. Linkup your name below and wish all the best. Do not worry if you don’t win this time – there are more giveaway 2015 right after this one ends.
