Original Post
Hey all! I am super excited to be sponsoring the next attack - not only is it my first Sneak Attack as a sponsor, but also it's a very special weekend Sneak Attack!
The Sneak Attack victims will be revealed at 11am Etsy time (EST for those of you in the US) or about 1am Sunday at my place! To compliment the big Eurovision weekend, there will be a decidedly worldly flavour to this Sneak, and certainly something for everyone ......but that's all I'm saying for now ;)
What is a Sneak Attack?
It's a chance to make someone's day!
Twice a week, new or relatively undiscovered Etsy shops are chosen as our lucky "victims." We'll join together to Sneak up on the victims, and Attack with sales and hearts! Our aim is to get the new/undiscovered shops a whole slew of surprise item views, hearted items, and business in a very short time. Thus, giving them a whole lotta love and encouragement! No money? No worries!! You can help by getting the word out and hearting the victims shops or items.
At 11am EST (U.S. East Coast Time), Saturday May 14th, we are going to begin our next Sneak Attack. Go to www.handmademovement.com at or soon after 11am and you'll see the chosen shops' names. Just click on the shops to see what goodies are in store for you. If you make a purchase, be sure to include the words "Sneak Attack" in your Message to Seller.
Don’t worry about being late to the attack! If the shop names are still up on the Handmade Movement site, you can still go and give them item views, hearts, and make a purchase! They are usually visible into the next day. Remember to come back here and chat with us; we will be here all day and we love to talk about our purchases and favorites.
Even if you can't make a purchase, you can still help by spreading the word and hearting the shops and their items.
We welcome anyone to come in and join us in chatter and fun! This thread is up all day and evening, the of the attack for friendly banter.
Thanks for stopping by - we are glad you're here!

Just to stir the pot a bit further, I thought I might mention just some of the places this week's Sneak Attack will take us:
How do we feel about Bermuda?
Perhaps New Zealand. It should be snowing right about now..
A pilgrimage to the place that invented chocolate?
Have you ever dreamed of Eden?
Have a hankering for tulips in Amsterdam?
How about a Rocky Mountain high?
Ever ridden the London tube? A Melbourne tram?
Hope that gets you thinking :)

I'll do a recap of all of them a little later on.
NEW CLUES

I know. This all sounds very abstract. But I promise you, I am not making these up!

popping in - wow, we get to talk about the sneak attack for 24 + hours - do I have that right?
Anyway, I'm off to the eye doctor - final exam for reading glasses.
Will be back later with some fun info about our sponsor!

If you're wondering why I'm a tad hyperactive, I've just finished watching the first Eurovision Semi-Final. Let the cheesy festivities commence! :)
