Happy December!

A Blank Book Giveaway

I'll send you a set of these. Keep on reading to find out how...

Well hello there December. You’re about to get all kinds of crazy aren’t you? It’s okay, I know this happens every year. Thankfully, this year I planned ahead.

Oh who are we kidding, you know I don’t plan anything ahead.

Today, while the kids were at school, I worked on a few things for the advent calendar bags. First, I went to the bank and got some gold coins. That was Dave’s stroke of genius. It’s as cheap as going to the dollar store and yet, way more classy.

Next I tried my hand at book making, inspired by this post here. I thought it’d be fun to put blank books in one of the bags. But I wanted to give them a little festive flair. So I turned to another one of glitter goods amazing posts and did a little print making.

Now here’s where things get interesting. I made some extras. I imagine those of you who read this blog fall into 1 of 2 categories: either you’re the crafty type or you’re the non-crafty type. (I know, I know, it’s kind of scary how logical I am.)

For those of you who would never attempt to make books on your own, or simply don’t have the time, I’d like to offer to send you some. Because, I rather love making these little things—I turn on some Janelle Monae, dance around, and get my craft on.

Plus, I spent that money at the craft store.

So, in order to legitimize my crafty habit (and spend a little more time dancing), I’m giving away two sets of books. After all, ’tis the season for giving!

To enter, just comment below. I’ll pick two winners Friday at 3 pm eastern and mail them out that afternoon. That’s right, I’m braving the post office on a Friday afternoon for you. That’s love people.

Okay, so if you want ‘em, enter. I bet your kids will fill them with amazing stories!

PS You can’t tell me this doesn’t make you want to dance.

    I am certainly of the non-crafty type, so I’m hoping I win these ;)
