Celebrate the Seasons - give-away # 2

Remember in my last give-away post I said I would be doing a series of six give-aways this fall.
Well this is give-away #2
this one is in celebration of this wonderful time of year.

so it's time for:

 RuffHaven's
BACK to SCHOOL
give-away


 YAY !
all those little rug rats go back to school and we adults
 have time to get back to crafting....well not me.....my rug rats are all grown up.
I play and craft and get artsy all the time.
But you
....all you moms (and dads) who can't get anything done all summer
because you are tending to your families. 
 A great thing to do ...but we all know this time of year is so welcome
after a long summer of pool parties, camping, vacations, and  sibling squabbles. 
 
I see you shaking your head.

So
now that the kids are outta your hair
you have time for yourself
pick up your favorite craft, art or other pass-time and let yourself go.

What's that?
you can't find your scissors? glue? pattern? book? paper?
 Oh no ! 
 you need

supplies

Well instead of offering supplies and trying to figure out
what everyone would want this time of year

I cheated

yup

I went out and gotcha a gift card 



You know you can get so much more than just books at Amazon
and no I am not affiliated...I just like them a whole lot.

hint hint....
This would be a great opportunity to get a
few supplies for a craft you had always wanted to try


So here we go.

This giveaway is open to all bloggers who
are able to use this card
the actual card will be mailed to you
in a cute little gift card holder

I know that you can find lots of other things at Amazon besides books, but if I won I would still love a new book. Maybe a decorating one.

OOoh! An Amazon gift card? How fun! What couldn't I buy? I could buy all kind of Sizzix Bigz dies, embossing folders, or maybe some Tim Holtz stuff? Fun, fun, fun!! :)

Thanks for the chance to win. Your giveaways are always wonderful.

Wow - what a giveaway!.. I'd probably be tempted by a quilting or sewing book, but I'd also like to find a little magnetic light to attach to my sewing machine.

Hi Marianne
There are a few books on abstracts already on my wish list, so I'd use my gift card for those :).
Thanks for the giveaway.
Stay inspired!

OMGosh Marianne you are the best! What a wonderful giveaway! I'm pretty sure anyone can use Amazon on the internet, I am from Canada and I purchase stuff from Amazon all the time. You are such a generous person and you make your giveaways so much fun! Enjoy the giveaway and good luck to all the entrants!

Yay!! Thanks for hosting this giveaway. Amazon works on most countries, India included, though I wish we had our own India Amazaon.
Hope Goldie is recovering well.

Great giveaway idea. All my kids are grown and on their own...so no school supplies here. But I have a doll costuming history book on my wish list.

Hug the canines for me.

i think i would put it toward the purchase of some books for my daughter...she excells in reading, but is only permitted to checkout books from her school library that are at her grade level....some chapter books, maybe The Magic Treehouse series...you do the best giveaways

tiffany said...

Hi Marianne,
Hmm, an Amazon gift card!! That's like gold in my world. I've always wanted a copy of the documentary "Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill" so that would top my list. I'm a book junkie so that's always a possibility - maybe another book on blogging! haa

My blog is 505whimsygirl.blogspot.com (and thanks for following - bless you!).

I will try to post a link to this give away. I've done it once so hopefully I can do it again.

Yes, your give-always are always fabulous! No, I don't need more stuff. I just wanted to let you know I was here, but it was mostly to look at your doggies. :)

Love the opportunity to get more stuff - especially since I can use it for books or, umm, maybe art supplies.

The name of my blog is

I also have a pen and ink blog
Whatever

Thanks for another great giveaway
