giveaway calendar for dec

The December giveaway is not exactly a book…it is a calendar for 2019.  I am giving away a Felix Doolittle calendar!  I am obsessed with Felix Doolittle illustrations and thought I would share my obsession with you!  Once you take a look, you too will be in love with Felix Doolittle! (Check out the website for some great holiday gift ideas!!)calendar giveawayThe 2019 desk calendar is a wonderful way to honor a true calendar.  And, I do not consider a digital calendar on a cell phone a true calendar!  This calendar is a work of art – each month a beautiful illustration!  To win this giveaway, just leave me a message on this post or on my Instagram and you will be entered in a random drawing.  The winner will be chosen at the end of the month.

For those of you who use Instagram, please join the challenge to post a favorite tree ornament(s) for the month of December.  It could be one you crafted, one you purchased, or a family heirloom!  I LOVE Christmas tree ornaments and can’t wait to see what you may post!  Use #pleasuregram to tag your photos.

october book giveaway!

September

breast cancer awareness pumpkins (2)

This is one of those months when the book giveaway is not a book!  For October, the giveaway is handmade pink velvet pumpkins.  Pumpkins; because it is October and pink; because October is breast cancer awareness month.

I encourage everyone to display at least one pink pumpkin during the month, preferably in a really visible location – like a front porch.  A great way to show support for breast cancer awareness month!

Inside the home, a clear container, a terrarium, or a cloche is great for pink pumpkin display! The container I used here is from Terrain and I am constantly changing up its contents to suit the season!

To win your very own velvet pink pumpkins, made by me, just leave me a comment saying you’d like to win!  The winner will be chosen at random at the end of October from the comments received during the month.  Win and you will be able to display some pink velvet pumpkins each October!

Congrats to Mary Beth (a self-proclaimed pencil geek) , the winner of the September giveaway of the journal and the set of pencils with my custom imprints.  Click here to see more on the giveaway.

Kate Spade notebook giveaway

July is almost upon us.  It is time to announce the July giveaway.  This month, as a homage to the designer, I am giving away a Kate Spade notebook.  To enter to win, simply leave a comment here, on Instagram or in an email.

Congratulations to Emily from Arizona, winner of the organizer and pencils from last month’s giveaway.  (Click here to read more about it.)  And, thanks for your sweet note Emily!  I am sure you will put the organizer to good use.  Enjoy!

Instagram users, please read on for this month’s challenge!

Since the tragic passing of Kate Spade, I find many of my friends have taken out Kate Spade pieces from their closets that they may not have used in a while – almost as a way to honor Kate after her passing. With this in mind, July’s Instagram Challenge is to share photos of your favorite Kate Spade piece(s).

I have many – from office supplies to handbags, but one of my very favorites is a pencil case designed with a book motif.  I often use it as a wallet.  What’s your favorite?  Use hashtag #pleasuregram to share during the month of July.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous weekend!
