Let's Celebrate!

I haven't done a giveaway on the ol' blog here in a looooooong time. What do you say we fix that today?? We could call this a Merry Christmas giveaway, a blog anniversary giveaway (my third anniversary was back in October), or even, get this, a one-million hits celebration giveaway, a milestone I quietly passed around September/October, shortly before my blog anniversary. But what it really is is a Thank YOU celebration for all of you who continue to visit with me here at Pickled Paper Designs. I'm so grateful for each of you -- for your emails and comments, your support and encouragement. You're the best readers any blogger could ask for!

I mentioned yesterday that I'd have lots to share today, so let's get started! No hoops to jump through, just leave a comment and you'll be entered into a random drawing. Winner takes ALL (a $180+ value)! The deadline to enter is 11:59 pm EST Thursday, December 23. I'll announce the winner sometime on Friday, Christmas Eve. Fun!

Before I spell out the prize package contents, I'd like to thank the companies who have so generously contributed to this giveaway. These are companies that I've either worked with or purchased from for years! I am confident you'll love these products as much as I do!

Here's what goes to one random commenter:

... thanks in part to Verve Stamps and owner Julee Tilman, one of the most amazing individuals in this industry--caring, generous, big-hearted and wildly talented ...

 $25 Verve Gift Certificate


Believe ($24 value)




... thanks in part to Stamper's Dream, the best online stamp retailer, and owner Michelle Rodgers, someone I'm so very honored to call a friend ...

... thanks to JustRite Stamps, one of my favorite stamp lines that Stamper's Dream carries ...

Who's That E-Girl (value $15.95)


... thanks in part to Skipping Stones Design, seriously fun (and funny!) stamps ...


 Chick-Chat stamp set ($14.49 value)


... and last, since you'll need great paper and embellishments for all your new stamps, thanks to Paper Posies, an online monthly papercrafting kit company...



One July 2010 Kit ($42 value)

I've been a Paper Posies subscriber for many, many years and continue to look forward to each month's package of goodies like it's my first. I was lucky to win a free kit giveaway a while back, and am thrilled to 'pay it forward' to one of you! Here's a full list of the July 2010 kit contents:
