And I’ll be posting a new kiddie craft tomorrow, probably my most favorite yet!

When I was younger, I lived for the days when my aunt took me to the Japanese bookstore — the stationery section was where I spent my time. So I’m happy to share with you online retailer JetPens who specializes in Japanese pens and stationery!

Candace, congrats! The random number generator picked you!

Thanks to all who participated, and so sorry I didn’t close it on Tuesday like I had originally posted. The week sort of got away from me!

When I first spotted CitiBlocs at the store around Christmas time last year, they looked so cool and fun, I just knew they’d be a hit with the kids. I made sure to grab a set as a ‘Santa’ gift for the boys. Sure enough, it has become a favorite in our home since then. And these blocks are so simple and pretty, I don’t quite mind as much when they’re scattered all over the floor.

So the boys and I were super excited when CitiBlocs sent over one of their new colored sets for review. And what’s doubly exciting is that CitiBlocs has offered an additional 100-piece set to give away, any color set of your choice! Care to enter? You can choose from Hot Colors, Cool Colors (the set we tried out), or Natural.

To enter, (1) Leave a comment.

Have you ever browsed through Shabby Apple clothing? I constantly see pretty new things on the site, like an ever-expanding collection of LBDs (non-strappy, thank you very much!), workout gear, and even a baby line for girls. So I was more than happy to host a giveaway for one of their items!

Up for grabs is the Through the Looking Glass Pendant. A side hinge means you can open up the bauble like a locket and place a small keepsake inside to display. A couple of ideas I have floating around my head are to stick in vintage-style pics of my kids or give it a modern look by putting in a piece of geometric patterned paper. I really love this necklace because there are so many ways to personalize it.

To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment below. You can add in a second entry/comment if you visit Shabby Apple’s Facebook page and “Like” it.

Lastly, Shabby Apple has also offered readers a coupon for 10% off. Just enter ambrosia10off at checkout.

Winner will be announced next Monday. Good luck!

Congrats to Dana for winning the necklace, comment entry number 15!

I celebrated the completion (for now) of my store by indulging in cupcakes from Vanilla Bake Shop that Raya picked up from LA. Not only are they “Mmmm! Ishes!” as Dax would say, but their mini cupcakes will compel you clap your hands and say yay.

And. This is the most awkward segue ever. But now I’m going to tell you to enter the giveaway for my goods at Simple Blueprint: two winners, any item in my store for your choosing. Good luck, and huge thanks to Joanna for being a kind host!

ENTER GIVEAWAY!

Jessica of The Pink Needle! You were number 28, pulled out of a hat old-school style, yo. I’ll be emailing you tonight. Hope you like the goodies! Thanks everyone for playing!

Amy and Stacie, the random number generator chose YOU! Isn’t that just neat? I’ll be emailing you for mailing addresses.

Thanks for participating everyone!

I’m raffling off two stationery packs, designed by yours truly. If you’d like to try your hand at winning one of the pretty little packages above, all you need to do is:

1) Leave a comment, any comment. Just nothing offensive. And no Rickrolling. I hear that song often enough as it’s Ryan’s ringtone.

and,

2) Link back to us from your blog. If you already do, please update to ambrosiagirl.com (you can still call us the Kirks, if you like). If you don’t have a blog, no worries — just say so in the comments. Stationery is meant for non-bloggers, too (Lola and Grandma, talkin’ to you!).

So that’s it. Easy peasy. Comments are open until midnight Friday, then we’ll pick two winners.

(10 note cards + 10 white envelopes per pack)

(And for a quick shop update; new products for the store are in the works and we’re looking into a new printer so we can deliver more high-end, quality products to our customers. I will also be teaming up with a couple blogger friends for even more Ambrosia Paperie giveaways. Yay!)
