My Very First Giveaway 3-Year Blogoversary
July 21st, 2011 @ 4:04 pm
Thanks for being patient (and I will say this would have been up much sooner…I don’t think I could have had more issues with my camera and blog today if I tried). *sigh*Happy 3-Year Blogoversary to me! In honor of this monumental event (yes, it is monumental to me), I’m having my very first giveaway. While it’s a girly giveaway, don’t let that stop you if you’re a guy…your significant other (I’m sure) will gladly take this off your hands.
First, let me tell you what’s included in this giveaway (picture below)…
- 7″W x 9.25″H Fabric Covered Journal. This journal is perfect to use as a notebook, journal, sketchbook, or scrapbook. I have not added anything extra to the pages as I want it to be up to you to personalize it yourself by adding tags, scrapbook paper, embellishments, etc… It has 17 enclosures, which makes 34 pages total (since each enclosure is folded in half). All in all, there are 68 sides to write, draw, or create on. There are a mixture of papers inside. Some pages are card stock, some are colored index cards, others are folded envelopes, cards, folders, and time cards. Plenty included to get your creative juices flowing.
- Gift Card Holder/Business Card Holder. I’ve been using mine as a gift card holder so I can have them all in one spot and not forget about them. It has an elastic closure to keep everything inside.
- $5 Starbucks Gift Card. Of course, something has to be put in the Gift Card Holder and why not a Starbucks gift card (my favorite!).
- 3 Paper Covered Card Stock Stitched Bookmarks. I obviously just blogged about these the other day. They slide onto the corner of the page of the book. Thanks to Danielle’s suggestion, I found three sayings I liked and wrote them on each bookmark (sorry I wasn’t creative with my handwriting).
- 10 Handmade Envelopes. A few years ago, I received a note in the mail and it was inside a handmade envelope. I felt so special that someone chose to use such a nice envelope on me, so I started to make my own. Here’s a set of 10 handmade envelopes (size A2) with labels already on them (so you can write the address and it be seen). There are no enclosures for these envelopes. I usually just use cute notepad paper or cut a piece of card stock to size and adhere a colored paper to the back side to make it decorative as well.
- Mini Jar Holder. This past week I finished a jar of thyme. I had just read a post about using paper to decorate jars to use to either hold small things (using the lid) or use as a pencil/pen holder (without the lid, obviously). I figured I’d give it a try. I did wash the jar, but I still smell thyme.
- Fabric Basket. This is what I was creating last night and finishing up today. I just came across a tutorial last night and wanted to make it. I thought if I didn’t make it to include in my giveaway, the idea would sit forever and probably never be attempted. It is by far not perfect (at all). The sides don’t match up, the bottom is “baggy”, etc…, but it’s handmade, still usable (if you’re not picky about it not being perfect) and it’s washable (just take out the cardboard inserts and wash, then replace the cardboard inserts and you’re set again). Easy.
This will be super simple. I am not on Twitter or facebook and honestly don’t care if you follow me via RSS feed (if you like my content, you’ll add me to your RSS feed or you’ll mosey on over and check me out every now and again). So…all that you need to do is leave a comment below. If you don’t have anything to say, just say, “enter me” (or whatever you’d like). Only one entry per person, but you can tell your friends and family about it and maybe if they win, they’ll share something with you.
You’ll have until 9pm EST on Sunday, July 24th to leave a comment. At 9pm (when my son will definitely be in bed), I’ll have random.org pick a winner and I’ll post the winner on this blog (so come back and check to see if you won). I’ll email the winner for their address and get your winnings out in the mail this coming Monday morning.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy!
