Maxwell Designs & AppleCheeks Giveaway II

GIVEAWAY HAS NOW ENDED - WINNERS ANNOUNCED SHORTLY

If you haven't heard already Maxwell Designs is on the move, as of Aug 1st you can now find us in Port Moody, B.C for pick up of your orders in the Vancouver, Tri-city area. To celebrate moving into a much bigger local market (yippee) we are having another joint giveaway with one of my favourite retail lines. Our last joint giveaway was so much fun and we got to meet so many new faces we couldn't wait to do it again . Maxwell Designs and AppleCheeks has decided to join forces again and are having not 2, not 3 but 4 winners in one giveaway - yes we love you that much!

Most of you already know how utterly fabulous AppleCheeks is, and if you don't well here is the perfect time to find out. Here is a chance to stock up on your fluff stash, or start a whole new one. For those who have never tried AppleCheeks Pocket Diapers then you have been missing out, my husband calls these the "easy diapers" since we switched from pre-folds. AppleCheeks are proudly designed and made in Montreal Canada, are beautifully made, have an amazingly trim fit where the insert comes out in the wash, are versitile, practical, their customer service goes above and beyond and you can colour co-ordinate your babies wardrobe to suit your cover (I am so guilty of this, its so much fun!)... I really could go on and on about this awesome product or you could head over to the AppleCheeks website to see all the great details and products they make for yourself - WARNING - you may have to restrain yourself from wanting EVERYTHING in every colour, in every size ...
So what's up for grabs you might want to know....well the 2 main winners will each win:
a Maxwell Designs Wet Bag
and an Applecheeks Little Bundles kit

then there will also be 2 additional draws for:
1 Maxwell Designs Change Pad - on the AppleCheeks blog
and 1 bottle of AppleCheeks Gentle Cleansing Soluton on the Maxwell Designs blog
(details on how to win the additional draw coming later)

*I am also offering a SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL SHIPPING RATE FOR THE DURATION OF THE GIVEWAY
SHIPPING ONLY 99cents TO U.S. & CANADA (applies to 1 diaper cover/swim diaper/bamboo insert or stay dry insert per order only - you can order as many times as you like they will just come individually) - only available on Maxwell Designs web site coupon code: applecheeksus & applecheekscanada - at checkout to claim your discount shipping should show as .99 cents at payment
