Art Unscripted

Giving Thanks for Creativity

We hope that everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend.  We ate too much and were thankful for the blessings in our lives amongst the chaos in the world at large.  One of our biggest joys is working with artists and sharing those experiences on DVD. 

Something special happens when we learn how an artist made something...what did they use?  How did they create an effect?  What else can they make with the same technique?  We are swept away, leaving the daily grind behind us as we feed our own creative muse.  As I create some holidays gifts for my friends and family, I wonder who is really getting the gift.  Is it the recipient...or is the real gift mine...taking the time to play in the studio and make stuff? 

Either way, the best way to learn new craft techniques is with PageSage DVDs.  We’ve extended our $10 off coupon for online orders through the rest of 2008.  You can use the coupon code more than once.  To get the coupon code, please share your opinions with us via our Creativity Survey (http://www.pagesage.com).  If you already took the survey (and don’t remember the coupon code), email us for your code.

More Winners

We continue to grow from your feedback.  Thank you to everyone that has participated in our Creativity Survey.  We've had a few more winners since our last post.  Wendy Roberts from Wyoming won a free copy of Carol Duvall's DVD. 

And then there is our grand thank you prize winner!  Jan Hoefler in Wisconsin won a full library of PageSage DVDs!  (They should be arriving any day now.)

Third Weekly Winner!

We are delighted that Carol Duvall and seven talented artists are jetting their away across the country...on DVD.  Our lucky winner this week is Mary Summers from Missouri.  

With all of the economic challenges in the world today, it is a rare privilege to be the bearer of good news.  Lately, our favorite job is letting a winner know that they won.  We've all received those phone calls from someone we don't know...from a company that we did not call.  Your gut instinct is that someone is trying to sell you something.  The magic moment is when the tide changes, and the person on the other end of the line learns that no, we are not trying to sell them anything.  Instead, we are just trying to thank people for sharing their time and feedback with us.  That moment inspires us. 

This is a wonderful way to celebrate our mantra...inspiring creativity one DVD at a time.

And the winner is...

Congratulations to Millicent Owen of Mesa Arizona!  Her Creativity Survey response was randomly selected from those that were submitted in the last week.  Millicent selected Millefiori Story for her upcoming creative inspiration.  Millicent is already an avid rubber stamper and paper crafter.

We look forward to seeing how she begins to incorporate polymer clay canes into her projects.

Thank you again to all of you that are sharing your comments and feedback with us via our Creativity Survey.  Your input continues to be invaluable as we grow our company.

Our Second Weekly Winner...

Just a quick note to let you know that we are trying to contact our second weekly winner right now.  We love being able to make that phone call to let someone know they have won a PageSage DVD of their choice.  It is a real luxury to be able to make a good news phone call these days.

We'll post the name of our winner before 6 PM PST today.

First Weekly Winner

We just got off of the phone with our first lucky winner.  It is our pleasure to congratulate Sandra Staley.  Weekly winners can select the DVD they desire.  Sandra chose An Altered Journey.  Tim (well, Tim's first DVD)  is now en route across the country to Sandra's studio.  Some of you may already know Sandra.  She is one of the moderators for the Artists of the Round Table discussion group.

We hope that Sandra's new DVD will provide endless creative possibilities in her studio. 

Thank you again to all of you that continue to take the time to share your ideas and feedback with us.  We are honored to have such great customers!

Creativity Survey FAQs

We want to answer the questions we've received about the Creativity Survey. 

FAQs
Which DVD will I receive if I win a single title?
Winners receive their PageSage DVD of choice.

How are winners selected?
Each week, we look at how many surveys we received that week.  The survey automatically numbers each response.  We then go to the Random Integer Generator.  Once we have a random number, that survey  number is our winner.  (Today's lucky number was 66.)

If I win a weekly prize, am I still eligible for the Grand Thank Your Prize?
Absolutley.

When will the Grand Thank Your Prize winner be announced?
Saturday, November 1st by 5 PM PST. 

How does the $10 coupon work?  Are there any restrictions?
You can use the coupon for $10 off any PageSage order placed via our online store.

Can I enter more than once?
No.  The survey is designed to only accept one entry per person.

If you have any other questions that we have not answererd here, please email us and let us know.
