Stubby Pencil Studio Giveaway
I'm on the road right this minute. For realz. We loaded up the car in the wee hours of the morning for an 8-hour drive to Ben Blair's hometown: glorious Provo, Utah. We're attending a wedding on Saturday and then we'll drive back Sunday. At which point we'll finish making our back-to-school lists.
I know you're thinking back-to-school as well. So how about an awesome giveaway featuring the hottest (and eco-friendly coolest) school supplies on the planet? You could win a $150 shopping spree to Stubby Pencil Studio by leaving a comment below. Fantastic!
Some of my favorite picks for this fall: lined filler paper made from banana leaves, wildlife colored pencils made from recycled newspapers and Smencils. Smencils are like Elementary School Currency. Get your kid a handful to trade around and he'll make friends in a flash.
Also. Want to make your day a little happier? Check out the Stubby Pencil Studio collection of colored pencils. Or really, any of their school supplies. So pretty! There's just something wonderful about a jar full of freshly sharpened pencils.
Thanks to Stubby Pencil Studio for the timely and generous prize. Leave a comment to enter. I'll announce a winner when I'm back at my desk on Monday. Oh. And here's some extra fun: Use the bonus code DMFall09 at checkout, and you'll receive a free eco highlighter with any purchase. Offer expires 9/30/09.
-----------------
Congratulations to Amy!! You are the lucky winner of the $150 shopping spree to Stubby Pencil Studio. Yay you!
Extra surprise: Stubby Pencil Studio asked me to pick a runner-up (randomly chosen of course) to win a $75 shopping spree. So, congratulations to sallyavena!! You're a winner too.
Hooray for back-to-school shopping!

My parents used to take us to Fedco in So. Cal. every year before school and we got whatever school supplies we wanted (I think it was a trick to get us excited about school!). I heart school supplies!
