I love how our lives are woven together.
.

did someone say GIVEAWAY ?



The truth is

I am a shopper
When I find a bargain ....I buy it. ...sometimes I buy two or three
or twelve.
Why?
1. Because it's nice to have a gift on hand.
2.  Because you never know when you might need something.
3.  Because you never know when a crafty friend might need something.
4. well....you get the idea......

I have been cleaning my studio basement, and it seems I have
more stuff than I need, so the only logical thing to do is offer it to you.


I have 5 boxes full of great stuff....
yes some of it may be a year old or a bit more,
but it is still current and still quite popular and desirable. 

Here are some of the contents of each box.
Each box contains the items pictured and more.
I love surprises...I hope you do to.
you may click on the photos for a closer look

The Red Box
Martha Stewart Punches, Flowers, Leaves Musical , Clear Stamp, Ribbon 
Red Box - Prize  # 1 



The Orange Box
Martha Stewart Punches, Die cut card stock, ribbon
Orange Box - Prize # 2



 The Green Box
Zentangle complete kit, 8 colored Micron (01) pens, Book, 12 round blank coasters 
Green Box - Prize  # 3





The Blue Box
Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas, 12 colorful fat quarters, ribbon, lace butterflies
Blue Box - Prize  # 4




The Purple Box
Tim Holtz smorgasbord and 12 stained coin envelopes
Purple Box - Prize # 5


 additional items in each box  include lace, beads, paint, embellishments, journals, paper, fabric,
ink, glitter, etc...
The boxes are packed full

( for example  you could say something like    " I want all three of my entries to go toward prize #2"   )

or
Do you want to split your entries,
If so, how do you want to split them?
(for example you could say something like -    "I want one entry in prize #3 and two entries in prize # 4  )


Yes I know that's two questions but I couldn't figure out a way to word it as one.

WOWEEE!!! How awesome are you? Okay, you may (or may not) know this about me so I'll tell you, but I am a huge Tim Holtz fan. Yes, it's true. And any opportunity I can to get my mitts on any grungey, well, I'm in it. So, please put all my entries on the purple box... #5. Thanks for the opportunity to win some really cool stuff, Marianne! xoxo

Shayne said...

You are so fun, what a way to get your studio cleaned up and make a friend happy. I love to win stuff I don't need. Put all my entries on the green box #3 that is my lucky number.

Doreen G said...

I would love to win anything - everything looks like a treasure! Put all mine in box #1 - it seems lonely and needs to come home with me;-)

Angi Rankin said...

Wowzers!!! What a generous giveaway!!! Great way to get rid of things that are still great, but don't need a home with you any more. I would love to have all my entries go toward the purple box...#5. Love, love, love Tim Holtz! Thanks for the cool giveaway!!!

Angie said...

How very sweet Marianne. I'd love to be entered for #2 and #5. Thank you for this opportunity and I love your blog. Your furry friends are lucky to be loved by you.

Mine are lucky too. They just don't know it!

flyingbeader said...

Those are just great. I love it all, but I think my favorite is the purple box.

Sorry, I'm groggy. My 11 year old Scottie with Diabetes is waking us up at 4:45am every single morning for a month now. We are trying to talk her into setting her canine watch for a more reasonable hour. Thought you'd like a dog thought!

Nancy said...

You are a generous and creative woman. Thanks for the chance to win, please put all my entries on #3.

stART said...

You are AMAZING! (and I can so relate to the need to get "more" - just in case you can't lay your hands on what you might have stashed away....) Please place a ballot in each of Box #1, Box #2 and Box #3. I really love the way you set this up. I may need to check back with you on how things went on your end - I have a pretty huge stash I need to whittle down, too.

I just found your zentangle blog, btw. I've been a paper artist for years, and it's fun to see how another paper artist is using tangles, too. Thanks!

Susan Entwistle said...

Great giveaway...you are the Queen of Awesome Giveaways. I was just talking to someone at a workshop Sunday about Zentangles (looking at hers) and how I didn't think I could draw like that. I'd like to try, so three chances on the green box for me...and hoping this is some kind of Zentangle Divine Providence steering me to add yet another creative pursuit to my To Do list. Thank you, Marianne!

Marianne said...

Um....Anne House...Sorry, no can do. You only get 3 entries so I cannot do what you requested...

My goodness, you are a very VERY generous person to give so much away! I would be very happy to look after some of your unwanted stash, and promise to take good care of it should I win lol.
