Sweet MAGIC it's February! My birthday month and my favorite month. To celebrate, I am hosting a giveaway. It's called "These Are My Favorite (Pink, Purple, Red & Blue) Flat Things That Will Fit In A 9×12 Envelope." Because HEY! I hate paying a lot for shipping but I love to give away stuff.

Inside the thick envelope there will be: pretty & hard to find papers, my 2nd favorite Tiny Art Print by KAL (my first favorite is hanging on my wall in original form), discontinued Paper Source labels (gasp! – These are worth AT LEAST $2 each!!), letterpress prints & cards and other cool paper goods.

To enter, leave a comment telling me what you would like to see more of on this blog. If you can't think of anything, just leave your name and that will count too. Internationals, PLAY ALONG! I promise I will ship the envelope outside the US if you win. Giveaway will close Monday night and I will announce a winner on Tuesday.

Hooray! And go FOOTBALL! It's February AND Super Bowl Sunday!

p.s. There are still valentines for sale! You're favorite lover and/or friend will be so touched.

    Wow, fantastic giveaway!
    I am a craft person myself (scrapbooking, photography, quilting), and I love reading about craft stuff. But if pressed for what I’d like more of, I would like to read more about you personally. And of course, the entries you write about you and Paul are fun to read. 🙂

    awe! I love February too! ❤
    What I personally want to see more of is just…your photos. and your creations! EVeryone hits that spot where they don’t make things for awhile and just look at other people’s stuff (I’m in that spot right now actually) but i love love LOVE seeing your minis and your art journal layouts and your photos. They’re brilliant and I get SO much inspiration from them. A tutorial of some sort of scrap related topic might be awesome too.
    Just giving you ideas and telling you what I like. :]
    enjoy February!

    I love all your projects and photos of them and ideas and mini books (specially mini books) but I have to tell you, I love the stuff about your personal life almost as much (what you do other than crafty stuff, how you feel, the ups and downs and all of that). And since there hasn’t been so much about that lately as there used to be a while ago, I’m going to say that that is what I’d like to see more of.
    I totally understand though, that people don’t want to post about personal stuff all the time! I definitely respect that. But well … you did ask. 🙂
