Holiday Giveaway

A holiday giveaway for you my blogging friends.
 
As I mentioned to you in my last post (just a few hours ago), I have been working on going through my studio and pulling things that I just haven't been using.  I don't know if any of you are like me, but when I get inspired or jazzed about something or take a class and learn something new, I have to purchase everything I need for that new project.  And sometimes, just sometimes, all those supplies get forgotten as I am quickly off onto another idea, another project.  So over the past five years, I have accumulated all kinds of scrapbooking, cardmaking, book making and other paper and fabric art supplies. 
I've decided to give those supplies and goodies away to three lucky winners.  Each winner will receive a box approximately 12"x7"x6" filled to the brim with as many items that I can get into it.  I am hoping that each box will hold a bit of inspiration for each of you.

To qualify for the giveaway:
1.   Become a follower of my blog
2.   Leave a comment to this post.
  The lucky winners will be randomly selected on Sunday, December 19th. 
Good luck everyone. 
Thank you so very much for visiting my blog.  You are so appreciated.  I treasure your friendship, kind words throughout the year and support. 
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Hugs
Diana

I've been following you for a while girl and I am doing the same thing you are right now. Going through old "new" supplies and deciding which need to go cause I still haven't used them after 9 months of them sitting on the shelf, LOL. But I could always use some new and different things to put in those empty spots I just made, LOL. Happy Holidays!

I just found your blog and I am in absolute awe. I am IN LOVE with your jewelry. I can't believe how amazing each and every piece is. Words cannot describe how "in love" I am with your style. It's obvious many others love you too as I see your items are sold in so many shops around the country.

Happy Holidays to you and yours Diana.
