I love how our lives are woven together.
.

some things are worth repeating ( a GIVEAWAY )


This is a Giveaway
This is a repeat...a rerun....a here we go again.
  
This is a reincarnation of my favorite giveaway 

It's time for another
 HUGE GIVEAWAY

why? 

because 
 the truth is:

I am a shopper
a shopaholic
and a bit of a hoarder

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. Because you might want to host a giveaway on your blog

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...I know.... 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 all the items pictured
and more ...  lots more!
I love surprises...I hope you do to.
you may click on the photos for a closer look


Red Box - The Quilter

Orange Box - The Mixed Media Artist

Green Box - The Scrapbooker


Blue Box - The RubberStamper
Purple Box - The Adventurer

So whats MORE you ask ?
 additional items in each box  include 
lace, beads, paint, embellishments, journals,
 paper, fabric, ink, glitter, etc... a lot of etc...
These boxes are packed full

On Saturday, August 17th at 11:00pm  e.s.t.

A drawing will take place on 
Sunday August 18th
I am going to ask Leslie of TheCrookedStamper  to assist in the drawing.
She is the most honest person in the whole universe....really.
She is more honest than that random generator thingy.
This means she will not be allowed to win any of the prizes.
....but I might take her to lunch.
Leslie ... Will you assist with the drawing? Please?

I will announce the 5 winners in a separate post on
 Sunday, August 18th

ok
here's the two part question:

Do you want all of your entries to go toward one prize,
If so, which one?
( 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.
 ONLY ONE COMMENT PER PERSON
how easy is that?
If you are a new follower Please tell me how/where you follow.
I will be monitoring the comments.
I will delete comments from cheaters and anonymous

Good Luck

I have to admit laughing a little as I read the first part of your post. You sound just like me, with one exception. I end up with duplicates because I forget I already had one if I find two of something. OR a few times is because I won it and didn't realize I had one already.

Thank you for the chance at your awesome giveaway. Wow. Very nice of you.

Lisa - papergrace said...

You are just THE most generous person ever!! I'm not even sure I *want* to win anything as I know there are people out there who have far less in the way of supplies than I do.

So, why don't you just surprise me and enter me in the purple box giveaway? If I win, then it'll be a total "WOW!" Right? :)

MoeWest said...
