Giveaway {Sparkle Power}

I'm excited to introduce a new feature that's been in the works for a few weeks now... I've had such great success with giveaways on my blog in the past, that I thought it would be more than lovely to add a weekly giveaway... Drum roll please... Welcome, Weekly Swag!

Here's how it will work... I will post the fantastic giveaway of the week each Monday morning... The giveaway will run from Monday at 8 am until Saturday (of the same week) at 8 am... Isin't that great... I've got wonderful giveaways lined up until mid-July, with more in the works!

So... Without further ado, I would like to introduce Candace of 'Sparkle Power'... Candace has generously donated TWO posters of the winner's choice + shipping... A total value of over $30!

Candace also took the time to answer a few fun questions!

What does a perfectly ordinary day in your life look like?
"A perfectly ordinary day in my life is filled with kids & chores & shop work. Sometimes running here & there, but always taking time to slow down & play outside for a bit or read some magazines or do some sewing."

What time of year most inspires you?
"Spring is really inspiring to me. I love the bright colors & the sunshine. Everything is new again & that just fuels my creativity."

What do you think of as comfort food?
"Mashed potatoes."

If you could hop on a plane, without giving one thought to your budget, where would you go?
"Sweden."

What are five things you would like to do in the next five years?
"Pay off debt. Go to Disneyland. Have another baby. Learn screen printing. Be as happy as I possibly can."

This giveaway runs from May 17th - May 22nd at 8 am

1. Visit 'Sparkle Power' and choose your favourite item from the shop... Come back here and leave a comment along with your email address, mentioning your favourite item...

2. For a second entry, link to this giveaway on your blog, Facebook page or Twitter page, come back here and post the link, along with your email address...
