step right up! it's the bloggy carnival!

Photobucket
I can't NOT join in this fabulous giveaway-palooza. I love to win stuff, and love to give stuff away--what a perfect match. SO--since I have not much artistic ability of my own, I've decided to give away some goodies from one of my favorite, newly discovered artists: Sara from Sarah and Abraham. She draws lovely little designs like these:
Couldn't you just climb up on your desk and hug these?
The winner can choose anything they'd like from her etsy shop (ok--not anything--value $20 or less). If you want some more ideas of what she offers, you may visit her blog and click on her shop link.


And to win you DON'T have to: do my laundry, be my best friend, bake me chocolate chip cookies, or shovel the snow off my driveway (though I take bribes of any kind--ha! ha!-- you DO have to leave me a comment though. That's not so hard, is it?


*make sure you leave an email address if you a. don't have a blog or b. don't check your own blog very often :). Winner announced Feb. 3. Comments considered until midnight Feb. 2. I am so sorry to all my Norweigan friends, but I think Canada is as far as I can pay to have anything shipped. Winner will be selected by my un-biased children drawing a name out of a bowl :).
Start commenting!!!

Elena said...

Okay, what's up with all the give away stuff? Look at you teaching me something about the world of blog. I had no idea this little contest existed, BUT count me in! I want my name in the pot. (And I'm pretty sure you know how to get a hold of me if I win.) Not to try to sway the judge, but remember that poor poor little Kate has NOTHING hanging on her bedroom walls. ;)

So if I win... that means that I can forfeit my prize and we don't spend any money, right? Just kidding. I do think it is a great idea. I am glad you are such a sharing person. :) Oh, my name is Brad and I live at... your house.
Have fun!

I had a pic like this hanging in my room as a child. I would love to have my own. My mom has kept the one from our bedroom and now it hangs in her room to remind her of our childhood....besides the three of us would probably not be able to decide who gets to keep it!! I need my own!!!
