Giveaway

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.

    Hm, thing I would like to see more of… I guess I will echo the many others who suggested more craft tutorials. You’re great at giving helpful instructions and sharing how the project went from just an idea to a concrete item.

    Hi! I love your blog the way it is, but if I had to choose something it would be to see more of what is inspiring you…what blogs you read, what books your are reading, what sites you are frequenting. Things like that.
    Happy February!

    Since you asked…! You don’t do it as often as I might like, but I love seeing the creative process, the way you write about what inspired you to make all the beautiful things you make. Things make more sense to me that way. But most of all I like the moments when you just seem to drop into the blog to show something you liked/did/wanted (a la the blackboard paint and the West Wing bird), you’ve started doing that a little more and I don’t think you realise how funny you are and how much they lighten my day.
    (I’m also curious about all the sorority stuff – we don’t have that over here and it seems like a big part of your life. I only know sororities from films like Legally Blonde…)
    This blog is supercool though, don’t change it too much!
    Also, how is it February already? Dude, where did that go?
