Win a Kit Wednesday: Miss Em’s Bon Bons

Hello, it’s Meredith here again to bring you another edition of Win a Kit Wednesday here on my blog! I am so excited about this week’s kit. It’s a super-sweet kit that was requested by one of my CT members, Jen.  Her daughter has an adorable candy-covered set of rain gear and she wanted a kit to go with it.

I have to tell you, I did not time the creation of this kit correctly!  I have been trying to avoid candy and sweets.  When you are making a kit about candy and sweets, it’s all you can think about! And of course, I had to go buy a bunch of candy to make sure that I was getting all of the different varieties and that they looked right.  Right?  So, tell me, what’s your favorite sweet treat?

Post here by 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight time on Wednesday, April 18, 2012, for a chance to win Miss Em’s Bon Bons before you can buy it.  You can either post a response to the question or just leave your name.  I will post the winner sometime Thursday or Friday morning.

Good luck!

Win a Kit Wednesday: Adventures in Yard Work

It’s Meredith here, with another week of Win a Kit Wednesday.  It’s hard to believe that just a few weeks ago I was lamenting the fact that spring still seemed so far away.  It was 81 degrees today, and it feels like spring is here to stay… for a few weeks anyway!  We have spent a lot of time working in the yard, trying to get grass to grow in our sandy yard.  All our long hours outside inspired my new kit.  Wanna take a look?

I didn’t realize it until two minutes ago, but the colors are very similar to the collab I did with Lyndsay Riches a few weeks ago, Hello Spring!.  The two kits would work very well together to give you a ginormous spring mega.

Are you working on a lawn or gardening project right now?  Post a comment about it here or just leave your name for a chance to a win a copy of this kit before you can buy it.  Comments must be posted by 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time, Wednesday, April 11, 2012, to be considered.  I’ll announce the winner sometime Thursday.  Good luck!

Win a Kit Wednesday Winner! Hello Spring!

Hello, it’s Meredith here to announce the winner of this week’s Win a Kit Wednesday.  It has been a crazy day here so I’ll just get right to it. I still have to make dinner before I leave for my hair appointment.  And it is a desperately needed hair appointment!

This week’s winner is Carolyn!  Congratulations! Carolyn, check your email in a little bit for a coupon code for your kit!

Carolyn, I totally agree with you about the lack of puffy coats and carseats! I had to adjust the straps today!  Carolyn won a copy of my Hello Spring! collab with Lyndsay Riches.

Win a Kit Wednesday: Hello Spring!

Hello! It’s Meredith here with a sneak peek of my newest digital scrapbook kit!  It’s a collab with —. I can’t tell you that yet!

Can you feel it where you live? It’s almost spring!!!! My daffodils and tulips are starting to peek up through the mulch.  This kit celebrates spring. I can’t wait for warmer weather and flowers and GREEN stuff on the ground – grass!

What are you most looking forward to in the coming season?

Comments will close on 3/14 at 11:59pm eastern time.  Post a comment in this thread by that time for a chance to win a copy of this collab kit!
