Minted Giveaway: Where Art, Designers, and Stationary Mix -Ends 9/28

I cannot believe my little man is almost 5 months old. What's more incomprehensible is the fact that I still haven't sent out any type of announcement. {blush}

While looking for that perfect announcement, I found myself oohing and awwing at Minted.com. Holy. Moly. From unique shapes, and funky, fresh designs, to classic, or modern, I fell in love with just about all of them! Easily customizable, the announcements are SO cute, there are no words.

Then I kept clicking and found Holiday Cards. I just couldn't get enough! They have stationary for weddings (like Save the Dates and invitations), as well as a variety of other items. Some of the Holiday cards they offer are not even "traditional" holidays; they offer Halloween cards, New Years Cards, Hanukkah, Christmas, and even Diwali cards, too!

I think what I love about Minted is that it's an online stationery store powered by a global community of designers. Designers submit their art, the Minted community votes on it, and then you see it sold online. Fabulous. Ingenious. Truly, something just as unique as you crave. Well, as unique as I crave.

To check out possible new designs, you can browse the Inspiration Boards, here.

Not looking for any stationary type products? That's ok.. Minted also offers Custom Art, and Art Prints. They have something for everyone- from Nursery Art, to Mother Art, to Family Tree Art and Custom Art Gifts.

I love Minted so much, that I want to share it with you! One lucky reader is going to win  $50 + free shipping towards any product Minted.com!

Here's how it's going to work: 
Visit Minted.com, find an item you love, need, or have to have. Come back here, click on the RaffleCopter Entry form below, and tell me what it is.  

Please be specific. Any vague entries, (like "I like the baby art") will be deleted. You can copy the link and paste it in the entry form, if that's easier.

Karen Cole Paper Review and Note Card Giveaway!

I love note cards, stationary, anything that I can doodle on, and write notes so I don't forget what to do or when to do it. Whether it's a grocery list or reminder for a soccer game, there's some note stuck to the fridge, in my pocketbook, or in the car- ALL. The. Time! I love special cards and fun note cards to send to friends 'just because' I was thinking of them, and I even have one of those card organizer things to try to keep all of my cards in one place. While looking for some new note cards, I happened to stumble upon KAREN COLE PAPER.
