Happy New Year, friends! I hope everyone had a great first day of the year yesterday. We spent a huge part of our day organizing and getting rid of excess. And boy, did that feel good! I think we had 3 garbage bags full after just re-organizing the kitchen and bathrooms. Today I have a carload of stuff I need to take over to Goodwill, anyone else doing a little drop off today?
If you follow me on Facebook, you know I was planning on doing a huge giveaway of goodies from my studio this week. Well. Today is the day! Are you as pumped as I am? Woooot, this is so fun!
Shall we talk about the giveaway a bit then?
Of course, I have to start by giving you a sweet selection of some of my favorite pretties.
Heather Bailey anyone? :-)
I figured if I love her stuff so much, there is a chance you probably do too. So the giveaway will include a few random yards of her fabulous fabric along with some other lovelies you may have seen on my shelves from this post here!
Y'all know I am a Flea Market addict and I just love my vintage trims. Well, my stash box is getting full and what is my overabundance is your luck! Does that sound weird? I think I just prefer saying that over 'my trash is your treasure' as this is definitely the furthest thing from trash in my opinion!
I found these uber cute baking cups when I was there, aren't they adorable?! There are a bunch of sizes and they would be cute for baking as well as fun little bento lunches for your kids (or who am I kidding, yourself!) I also am giving away some pretty red washi tape in 4 different designs...red just might be a theme here, haha!
And I picked up some of my favorite supply boxes while at Ikea...I LOVE these things! These are the pretty white shoe box sized ones, perfect for charm packs, fat quarters, scraps, notions...or I suppose CD's too, as that is what Ikea tells me they are supposed to be for ;-)
Along with all of the above, I will also throw in a few other goodies just because I love y'all so much! Really and truly, this is the perfect way for me to be able to say Thank You for all of the support you give to me all year long. Not sure there is a better way for me to do that as y'all live all over the world! Oh, that being said, this giveaway is open to EVERYONE! As long as the post office can get it to you, I will send it, hooray!
Okay, so how do you win this sweet, sweet giveaway you might be asking. It's sooo easy!
Just tell me your favorite thing about my blog. What keeps ya coming back? Recipes? Sewing tutes? The DIY? Maybe it's the 4 child insanity I live with everyday, heck whatever it is just let me know!
For additional entries (you can post one comment for each extra entry for up to 7 entries total!)
1. Follow Smashed Peas and Carrots via Google Friend Connect, RSS feed, or email
2. Come on over to the dark side and follow me on Facebook, here.

5. Follow me on Twitter, here. Tweet much, anyone?
6. If you share this post on your facebook page, pin it on pinterest, tweet it, or instagram it you can have another entry too, yay you! And thank you!!
I'll keep this giveaway open for one week.
Giveaway ends Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at midnight!
Good Luck friends!
XOXO,

ReplyDeleteI love your blog because you sound like a positive, happy friend. With your recipes that are healthier, I don't feel like you're forcing me to change how I eat. With your kids, you seem like the Mom I try to be (but fail miserably!) and those kiddos are just so cute! And your sewing inspires me to think about sewing, and sometimes even do just a tiny bit. I'm drooling over those trims, too. You're just a very happy place for me to visit and I appreciate knowing there's a place like that out there. Thanks for all you do! Happy New Years!
