Spread the love GIVEAWAY!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! On February 25th, I will officially have been blogging for 2 years. So, to celebrate and thank all my wonderful followers (I still can't believe there are 800 of you!)... I am giving away some blog candy. I have put together a blue themed "fight the winter blues" kit.

With Jenny's blessing at Pion Design, I have included some "studio of memories"papers (12x12 and 6x6 sheets) and Pion Design vintage image sheets and coordinated them with some of my favorite MME "bella bella" papers. You'll also find some Dusty Attic chipboard from my Etsy shop, tons of fun flowers, 3 bottles of Stickles, bling, a Prima stamp and some fabric titles. I hope you like it!


TO WIN:
Follow this blog a leave a comment at the bottom of this post in the comments  = ONE entry into the draw.


BONUS "spread the love" ENTRY:
Write a short blog post (or Facebook post if you don't blog) about my giveaway with a LINK back to this giveaway. Then, leave me a second comment with a link to your post here (again in the comments at the bottom of my post) = your SECOND entry for a chance to win the draw.


DRAW DATE:
You have until Feb 29th to enter - lucky leap year day!


Good luck to everyone who enters and most of all thank you for your continued support - I really appreciate it. I'll be back later this week to share some projects and a brand new flower tutorial too!
