We all need a little help from time to time, especially after the busy holiday season - so I've designed a Meerkat Sales Fairy, and will give one of the very first off the needles to my winner!
She's dressed in Zibbet green and has a wand with bell to tinkle whilst working her magic (she's told me she's prepared to work for other venues too, so don't worry if you don't yet have a zibbet shop)
So what do you have to do to enter?
First of all, just look at the date - ooops, Happy New Year! Have you made a resolution? Mine is to work at promoting my Zibbet store as it's my newest and not so well known (yet!) as my Etsy and Folksy stores.
So - for your first and obligatory entry, leave a comment with your New Year's resolution. Don't forget to leave me a way to contact you! If you haven't made a resolution for yourself, you can suggest another one for me!
Second chance to enter - join our Zibbet facebook group! It's not just for Zibbet sellers. Check my post yesterday if you want to stop email notifications. Leave me a SECOND comment telling me which facebook ID you've joined our group so I know who you are.
Third possible entry; leave me another SEPARATE comment with your Zibbet url. You don't have to be a shop-owner, you can sign up as a buyer - it's free!
Good luck!
I will count up all separate valid entries and choose the winner with random.org next Saturday 8th January. This giveaway is open to ALL countries, and I will contact the winner for their address using the details left in your entry - so don't forget to leave me your contact details!
If you can't wait - she's for sale on Zibbet :-)

happy new year to you nifty. I also resolve to promote my zibbet shop more this year as well as to learn some new stuff (please see my newest blog as posted on my FB page, never too old), and I joined the zibbet FB page yesterday. does that qualify me for the draw for the sales fairy, I sure would love to have her?
joy xx
My New Year's resolution is to visit France. I have been learning French and really want to put it into practice! Love your knits by the way!
I adore your meerkat sales fairy. My New Years resolution is to enjoy what I do and not to have unrealistic expectations.

Oooooh, my sister would so love me if I won her this.
My goal for 2011 is to try and find life balance, I am going to not feel guilty and enjoy my work while still being a wonderful Mummy. Or that's what I hope for anyhoo....
Happy new year Heather xxx
Happy New Year!
My resolutions are to clear my debts and have a baby by the end of 2011.
Not much really *lol*
Happy New Year to all at Nifty Knits. My resolution is to write up more patterns to sell in my etsy, folksy and zibbet shops. I just need to find the time, so need to be more organised. Good luck with your new year's resolutions, Lynne www.lynnespatternparlour.folksy.com
I don't have a resolution yet.
I'll think of one and come back to post it.
But I posted this contest on my Facebook Page
on Google Buzz
on Twitter
and on my blog.
What else are we supposed to do? I'll be back.
My Zibbet URL is

My New Years resolution is to continue to promote at least one other Zibbet Shop each day on my Twitter and Facebook pages.
If all Zibbeters were to do that think of the worldwide impact that would have making the public aware of all that Zibbet has to offer.
I will choose those shops from the new items listed section (which I look at many times a day). If I see something I like I will promote it.
Would love a Meerkat Sales Fairy!

New Year's resolutions? Hmmmmm.... Well my business resolutions would be to blog more, sell more, reach out to new buyers/customers, etc. Promote more, etc. Etta's cousin the "Sales Fairy" would be very welcome at my house!! I'm sure she would help. :o)
As for personal resolutions. To take better care of myself - take more time for relaxation and enjoyment of family. Easy stuff. :o)

My New Year's resolution is to balance my time better between My Job, The Computer (I don't have capability to work from mobile devices, i.e. promoting, blogs, etc...) Making my Jewelry, Housework,etc.. Time management is a struggle for me. Thank you for offering up your Lovely Fairy Heather. Leta ♥

My New Years resolution is to be kinder to everyone. Even in my head. I don't want to think bad thoughts about anyone. I think everyone could have a little more love & charity.
I've liked your Meerkats for ages!
My resolution is to be frugal. I'm challenging myself (and my family) to spend thoughtfully this year, save money and pay off debt.
I would like to frame some artwork that I bought for my daughter's room, so I'm also saving for that - I could sure use a Sales Fairy! : )
Happy Happy New Year Nifty! My new year's resolution is to work more on my 'art' vs craft - I am much more happy even if I make fewer sales...
My resolution for 2011 is to celebrate the little wins---like shop hearts & treasury features. That way when a sale comes along I can celebrate big!

Happy New Year!
My resolution this year is to try and promote my own website www.fairlygirly.com more.
Your meerkat sales fairly is lovely and sure to bring the winner luck.
Happy New Year!
Firstly I would like to thank you, my Hubby adored the Police Meercat I gave him for Christmas!!!!!
My resolution would have to be have a better work life balance,(in my day job that is) any balance in fact would be good!
My Zibbet url is: http://www.zibbet.com/NOfkantsCurios but my shop is a bit empty at the moment, have been concentrating on folksy.

My new year's resolution is to promote my sister friend Nifty, whom I just found after years and years of searching for her on Facebook.
And if brown-nosing doesn't get me to win the fairy, I'll give you my real new year's resolution(s): to spend more time with my three little girls, dance more, tell one dirty joke at my husband's work party to liven it up and try to wear more mis-matched socks.

Happy New Year to you! My resolution is to put more time and effort into promoting my Zibbet Shop and items. I have already begun to sell my earrings at local shops, but I would really like to take this further which I think will be the key to my success.
I took the first step this morning, by upgrading my BirdStuff Shop to the yearly premium zibbet account. My sewinmachine shop is lucky enough to have a free membership for life!
I hope everything works out for the both of us!

Oh the little meerkat fairy is so sweet!
I don't do new year resolutions, but I do plan to try to post to my blogs more often!
Happy New Year Nifty! I resolve to launch more patterns than I did last year - and a whole new store. Gabrielle is crossing her fingers that we win. She loves fairies and your meerkats - what a winning combination! Cheers, Cherie at StudioCherie
Your meerkat is adorable :) My New Years resolutions is to use up some of my crafty stash of felt, beads, wool, fabric etc before buying anymore. I'm a bit of a magpie, especially with beads so in addition to this I'm setting myself a budget of £10 a month.
Happy New Year and I love this little meerkat, but then all your meerkats are so cute. Some day I'm going to own one. My new years resolution is to really work out and not give up, even if it is walking every day. I have no zibbet craft shop. I'm known as shatomabargains on etsy and shirley ann thomason nelson on facebook.
Happy New Year!!!
One of my resolutions is to get my own domain name (and do something with it!)
My resolution is to be organized, to stop faffing so much and actually get the work done. Also to put the kids first and try to send them to school with the things they need for that day! Also I'm teaching myself to crochet so I can make cute amigurumi things. I also resolve to learn to spell that word correctly!!
I'm back again with my resolution.
Mine is to get this house sold and move. Somehow, some way, I will move in the year 2011.
Here's my house in case someone reading this comment happens to be wanting an awesome place in Florida.

Oh dear! I don't make New Year Resolutions. I never keep them and stopped doing it quite a few years ago! ;D
Happy New Year.
I stopped making resolutions, but this year is an exception. I resolve to make even more effort in promoting and to find more sights to promote on.
Will also look at joining Zibbet!
Linda
my resolution is to learn some new crochet stitches and create some new products with them :)

Happy New Year! My resolution is a straightforward one - to grow my business into something that will give me dependable monthly income. The "how" to do that remains elusive. ;-)

Hi Heather! My resolution is similar to Barbra's: Promote more (my store and everyone else's!) and to find another way to give back. Love, love, love the new fairy meerkat! You already have my Zibbet shop and my FaceBook page. :o)
I have a few (can I do that?) one is to list on Folksy - did try it once when it was in Beta but never sold anything. Another is to have a blog (maybe!) but unfortunately have never been great at words and not much happens in my life that people would be interested in reading about, but hey ho one will never know unless I have a go! I could be a poet though.
Happy New Year to all
The fairy is so cute...sure to bring someone luck. My new year resolution is to work on marketing and getting more online sales this year.
Oh what a cutie! :) Absolutely adorable.
I haven't made any new year's resolutions. I really wouldn't dare suggest a resolution to you, but since I definately want to be counted in this giveaway my suggestion to you is just to keep making these wonderful, cute and funny little creatures with the same joy that you seem to have.
Happy new year!
My e-mail address is under sähköposti.
Your Meerkat Sales Fairy is just adorable and would be a good reminder to everyone to keep trying no matter how slow things might be.
I am such a Virgo and am so critical of myself that it is my New Year's resolution to "chill out" and don't get so frustrated with myself.
I also resolve to do whatever I can to promote my Zibbet shops. I would love a little fairy to keep me in line.
Because my New Year's resolution is to do what I can to promote my shops, I would like to include information for my second shop. That little Meerkat Fairy gets cuter every time I see it.
My Zibbet URL for my second shop is:

Have you seen my garden fairies? They NEED a Meercat fairy!! My resolution is all about Zibbet: Learning more about seo & on-line marketing; filling in my shop with the hundreds of glass items yet to list; and joining the forums more often to get to know one and all. Happy New Year!

My resolution is to enter every Meerkat contest I can find in 2011.
I don't really make resolutions per say....but I lost my brother on Nov. 5th and have decided to try and love more. I came to realize how important people are in our lives. I have been kinda recluse and I aim to change that this coming year. Going to double my chances...going to facebook now...lol. Happy New Year.
I went Premium with my zibbet shop and am still adding items. I believe zibbet is up and coming.
http://www.zibbet.com/SuzanneMedrano
i forgot to lwave a resolution...hmmm....one of mine is to be a more faithful blogger. another is to not procrastinate, but so far that one hasn't worked, because I haven't published my new years blog yet...wait that's both that I mave neglected. ut oh....
:)
oh...email is Raige at live.com

Hello Heather & Happy New Year!
My New Years resolution is to get more organised! I have closed my Artfire account and I am focusing on Zibbet and Etsy only. I have been working on my studio and I have made a list of all upcoming dates so I can get listings on early enough and with us opening a Driving Range here in May for the golfing season I really need to manage my time as efficiently as possible.
I hope your Sales fairy can wave some magic fairy dust my way~I could use more sales! Helen ;)
What a brilliant idea...a sales fairy! My resolution is to learn a new embroidery technique...and create some fun designs! Happy new year Heather!
Happy New Year Nifty!
Well I don't make resolutions, as I think if you make them then you have something to break. I am feeling pretty positive right now though, so I am going to work on keeping that going, and to appreciate the smaller things more.
Great meerkats!
You can find me on Folksy, I'll post on the forum thread!

My New Year's Resolution? I've broken it already - to do something creative every day, no matter how small. I've not done anything yet - unless you count wrestling the tax bloggage into the daylight....
COMPETITION NOW CLOSED! I've removed one anonymous comment which had no way of discovering who to contact, and am now going to random/.org ....watch this space!
For 2011, I am determined to take my skills and my work more seriously and take myself less seriously.
