* * * GIVEAWAY TIME!! * * *

Hello!
How are you today?
Have you visited my shop before? If you have you will know what I sell, if not let me enlighten you!


 Jambo Chameleon is a little Etsy shop, full of colour & fun - selling lots of buttons; other arty-crafty supplies, some fab vintage finds, and handmade bits & bobs  (for Scrapbooking /crafts...etc).

So, would you like to win a $25 voucher to spend on anything you like in my shop??

You can even use the credit to pay for your postage.
(No change given, but you may use the credit on another occasion).

Come and have a looksee, maybe you will be tempted...

You may be wondering about the name
Jambo Chameleon??
Well, I will tell you a little story...

Once upon a time, an excited loopy lass on her honeymoon in Kenya, saw a real, live chameleon for the very first time. It was a tiny, cute little fella and she got to (nervously) hold it in her hand.

The lass greeted her new friend
"Jambo Chameleon!"
{'JAMBO' being Swahili - the local lingo - for hello!!}.


 This was a memorable moment and somehow the pairing of these two words just stuck in her mind...

    Love the story about how you came up with the name for your blog/etsy shop. It reminded me of my honeymoon in Mexico where we saw Iguanas daily--I didn't get to hold any though! I would love some chances to win a $25 voucher to your shop! So many cute things to choose from, but I think my favorites would have to be the vintage jewelry and the paper cutouts from vintage paper like the music sheets. I am a follower of your blog and like you on facebook too. What an exciting offer!

    Hi Miss Sally,
    Wow, another fantastic giveaway! I have too many favourites in your little Etsy shop, though I must say I do love the paper ephemera packs and the dollar add on surprise packs. I already 'heart' your Etsy shop (79loz), follow you on FB (Lauren Dunlop),also made a link and now follow your blog (79loz).
    Surely I have to be one of your biggest fans??
    Happy days to you and your followers,
    Lauren :)
