❁ April GAMES ❁

❁ Secret Item GAME:
Every day, a secret item will be discounted more than 50%OFF. The item will go back to its old price at midnight and will be disclosed on twitter. Tweet the secret item and add the word #mvsecret to win 10 mvpoints! Purchase it and win 20 mvpoints! That's almost half way to the first gift certificate!
~ (Secret items have a ❁ mark in their More Info area. Find the mark to see the original price. Today's secret item is SILLY)

❁ Find the Duck GAME:
A real duck has hidden somewhere in my shop. Find the duck, hit the TWEET button on that page, and add @mvbeads DUCK! to win 5 mvpoints. Toy ducks don't count :)
~ Beware, this ain't no sitting duck! THIS duck likes to waddle around. It last changed location Friday 7PM. Find it again after it moves, and win again.

❁ TUMAY GAME:
Every day, I will ask a question on my Fan page. Click 'like' and post a quick answer to win 3 EZ points. :)

❁ Positive GAME:
Tweet @mvbeads a positive thought every day for 5 mvpoints each. I am looking forward to reading your tweets ♥

❁ Matching GAME:
Pick a favorite creation of yours, find an item from mv's ArtFire shop or gift shop that would wear/pair nicely with your creation, and put both links in a tweet to @mvbeads for 5 mvpoints. One match per day.
~Particularly nice matches will win 10 mvpoints and my favorite match will be featured on my blog. So go ahead and have FUN, your apron with an mv necklace, your earrings with an mv card, your handmade gift for mom with mv's Kakuro/Sudoku Poster... Looking forward to seeing your creative matches! :)

10 mvpoint matches so far:
This is my work - do you think I fit into this category?? (Totally LOL)
