I have a problem. I’ve pinned too many cookies on Pinterest.
I have so many I want to try.
The good news is that I can’t eat most of them (gluten) and I gave my dad and grandpa a “cookie of the month” subscription for Christmas. Which means I’m making a batch of cookies to mail to them every month this year.
Now which cookie should I make? Can you help me out? I can’t decide. Vote for the one I should make.
If I get a lot of participation with the voting this month, I might turn this into a giveaway (as in you’ll get your own bunch of cookies mailed to you as well). This is going to be a monthly voting conundrum I feel.
So what am I giving away? I’m giving away one of my little zippy pouches. My Classy Lady Lacey zippy pouch to be exact.
How do you win? I’ll make it simple this time because I’m sure I’ll get many more comments than usual.
How do you win? Just because I like reading interesting material, you’re going to have to answer a question instead of just commenting below. Also include your e-mail address so I can follow up with you when you win (FYI you don’t have to type it in the comment section … just in the part where it says “e-mail” in the form).
The question? Who/what is your favorite fictional character and why? Your answer can be a character from from literature, movies, TV, music, comics, etc.
My answer to that question? I guess I’ll go with the obvious and say Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Why? Because she is badass and I love the fact that she’s witty and always goes for the bad boys.
Good luck! I’ll be picking a winner on Friday the 16th — just in time to get the zip bag in the mail in case you want to give it as a gift. I’ll post the winner on the 18th and will ship ASAP so you have before Christmas.
Anyway, I have a giveaway! I got these awesome posters from French Paper a while back at the Field Paper Show. They’re the French Paper 14oth Anniversary posters. For those of you who don’t geek paper, French Paper has aweeeeeesome paper. It’s the best. They have tons of fun colors and finishes. Also, they have Charles S. Anderson Design do all of their promos. And for those of you who don’t geek design, it’s my lifelong dream to work for CSA.
Would you like to see the goods? I have three posters to give away to you lovely people. Also, you can buy these posters online if you’re not a winner. These feature metallic ink and are on butcher paper.
Interested?
How do you win?
There are a few ways to get an entry: First, leave me a comment on this blog post telling me what you’re thankful for this year. Yes. Thanksgiving IS this week.
Want another entry? Add yourself to my networked blogs or google friends widgets on my sidebar. If you add both you don’t get two entries, you just get double the chimes. Again, you have to go to my actual blog post to do this. Make sure to comment to tell me you did this.
Third entry? Okay fine. Tweet this: “I want to be Frenched by @chimes! #frenchme @FrenchPaperCo #chimesblogpostergiveaway”.
You have until 5 AM Cyber Monday (next Monday, the 28th) to enter. I’ll choose a winner that morning. Since I’m crazy organized, all entries are going in a spreadsheet in the order they are entered, so any of these entry mechanisms will work.
//EDIT// I posted this giveaway and realized that today is also Giveaway Day on Sew Mama Sew. I’m featured on the handcrafted items page.
Last time I did one, I had a trivia question. But I’m going to make this one really easy.
First — the prize?
A teeny tiny wallet of your choice — one of these two:
What do you have to do to win, you ask? Simple. Just comment on this post with which one of these you prefer if you win. Make sure your e-mail address is correct when you fill out the comment box or I will have no way of contacting you if you win. Want another entry? Tweet or facebook about the contest, and leave a comment on this post with a link to the tweet or post. Want yet ANOTHER entry? Follow me on Networked Blogs (check out the sidebar over here on the right).
Contest ends on Memorial Day (Monday, May 30). I will randomly choose a winner by using random.org’s generator. Good luck!
I may or may not have stolen this idea from my friend at Domestica.
Regardless, I’m doing it.
Recently I was invited to a wonderful community where people can curate and share things that they love with one another. It’s called Pinterest. It was pretty much what I used to use tumblr for, but better. It’s like visual bookmarks for things I want to come back to. Not to mention, it’s helped me find all sorts of new things that I love to look at.
Here’s something lovely I found and posted on my designy board.
However, Pinterest is invite-only for now. BUT: I have 5 invites to give away!
Interested yet? I know I would be. How do you win?
Well … let’s see here … how about we make this contest about social networking — since that’s what Pinterest is about. To enter, comment on this post and tell me your favorite social networking site and why I should use it.
Good luck! I’m closing the comments at midnight on August 15 and a winner will be posted that day (winner chosen with the random integer generator).
Up for grabs this time is a Manifesto Poster from Lululemon Athletica in blue. I acquired this from my co-worker when she left last week to embark an a new life adventure, and I don’t have any room for it in my cube! It’s a really cool design, and it’s got a lot of great pieces of inspirational text.
Here’s a picture of the poster:
To participate, just leave a comment (of any sort) on this post. I’ll use random.org to pick a winner on July 15.
Today is the big day! Time to pick a winner for the ceramics giveaway.
Since I know most everybody who posted comments, I was worried that if I picked somebody I knew, I’d be biased…but it’s a random number generator, right? Right. So to be even more random, I decided I’d hit the “generate” button a set amount of times. I had a post-it note setting on my desk that had measurements for a backing piece for the hello betty quilt I’m making for my mom. It said 63″ and 72″ and 44″… soooo 63 sounds random, right?? Right. So 63 clicks later, this is what I got:
1. Kelly. @kelalea.
2. you know how to find me
3. http://www.kellylea.blogspot.com
4. YELLOW BIRDIE PLATE. You know the one. WANT.
5. Frick… what don’t you already know… um…. I had a piece of lemon cake for lunch today.
Kelly will be the proud new owner of the yellow birdies plate (since I know how much she loves it, and she might beat me over the head with anything else I give her instead).
————
Thanks for playing everybody! Watch for another giveaway. I’ve got supplies for a mini-zipper bag and I don’t know what fabric I’m using yet (not the mermaids again)…maybe one of my own designs! Look for that in a week or two.
