I love Sharpies! I'd use them for ...well, everything! Right now I'm working on some custom picture frames and I was just thinking about going to get some more colors for the project :)
neato -- i love sharpies! i'd use them for handlettering envelopes/invitations/cards/favors! (lots of showers & weddings going on around me lately)
I LOVE Sharpies. I use them when ever I can. I would use these to write little note for my husband `and put them in his books. So when he is reading he will find them.
Sharpies are the best! I use them to create all my pinback button designs in fact!
I am addicted to sharpies, seriously the only pens/markers I ever use. I would use these in the RVA art journal class :)
OH great giveaway I use sharps on everything!

I love sharpies but I would give them to my mom because she is more than crazy about them! She would use them to write notes and keep things organized.
I LOVE these cuties... Recently I've planned to use these in anything I can. Though it's kinda hard to find them in Brazil.
Anyway...
And I tweeted it!!
I love Sharpie's...I use them all the time...most recently to address my daughter's bridal shower invites and I'm sure I'll use them for the wedding invites too!
Oh Sharpie. I use my sharpies to label plastic cups when I have people over, I write stuff on my calendar with them, and I love having people sign my jeans with them when I go on trips! :P
Awesome giveaway!! I would use these on my journal for the Elsie and Rachel journal class and I would use them for about everything else.
scrapbooking
letters
cards
doodles on envelops
making notes
i want to do your diy with the clear contact paper too!! I would for sure use them for that.
Ooooooo!!! I LOVE LOVE Sharpies!!
i also tweeted!!
oooh I love sharpies! I am a list freak so mine would probably be used to make pretty lists to stick on the fridge. I would also use them to make my uni notes prettier.
I would probably use them for everything! They are the best, and so fun to doodle with!
I love sharpies! I use them alot for Artist trading cards. I could definitly use these! Congrats on being on the sharpie squad!
xoxo, Katie
Congrats that you are a rep for Sharpie! I would definitely use Sharpies to decorate jeans for a jean pocket quilt I plan to make this year.
OooOO sharpies! I am a list maker and love to write letters, so I will probably make color coded lists and create some stationary.
Such pretty colors! I would use them on a project I'm making, where I want to draw a textured background on some felt.
i love color! i have been surrounded by rainbows since my conception and with these i would draw the most beautiful rainbow (with clouds and birds and maybe even a pot of gold) that i could conjure. i would draw this masterpiece on a 48"x48" piece of stretched canvas and proceed to hang it above my bed!!
pick me!!
xo
I am a sharpie lover... I use them for everything. My favorite thing is to cross off things from my to do list =)

Oh man, I LOVE sharpies. LOVE. I used to have a shoe box full of them but I don't know where they went.
It's probably not the best thing to do with them, but I LOVE to color with sharpies. And I love writing with the thin-tipped ones. I know they make a sharpie pen, but I do so love the small markers for writing (I took MANY of my notes with them in high school. My bio notes were always very pretty).

I'd use it to keep my Moleskine planner up to date because Moleskine and Sharpies just go together.
Who doesn't love sharpies?! I'm crazy for them! I use them on everything from sketching to drawing to crafts! I've never bought a pack with multi colours like this; it would be sooo neat to experiment!
Love your blog by the way, I've been following for quite some time now.
XOX
Super cool. I would give them to my husband because he uses them to write on his skateboard, write on his plywood and sign autographs when he travels around the country. :)
I <3 Sharpies! I would use them for just about everything. Though, the first thing that comes to mind is labeling everything since I am in the process of organizing my craft room (and my entire apartment...).
Oh me me me! I would use them to make unique flower vases for a baby shower I'm throwing. It's cherry themed! Sharpies are amazing.
What would I use them for? What WOULDN'T I use them for is a better question! :) Probably for mail-related activities. Sharpies are great for writing on plastic-y padded envelopes which I use constantly. And decorating things. And doodling. And labeling. And rewarding my little cousins (sometimes, when they behave when I tend them, they get to use my "grown up" marker collection to make art).
I would use all these pretty colors to write surprise happy mail to all my friends!
I'd use them for making custom puzzles for my nieces. And for decorating all of my notebooks.
Fun! I need more colors ;D
I've always wanted to Sharpie up a pair of white shoes!!! If not that, I'd make some big art piece with them. How fun would that be?!
I love them for everything, since they don't bleed and won't smudge. I like to decorate wrapping paper, journal covers, tags, and cards. You can do anything with them.
Awesome give away, something everyone can use!
I think it might be fun to decorate some fabric with Sharpies! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love love Sharpies,I would use these pretty pack to design a small set of prim fabric dolls &
work on a new canvas book that is running around in my mind.Sorry i dont know how to tweet i know it is sad. :0(

OH! I'd love to win those! I use sharpies for just about everything. I journal, write in my date book, on my calendar and on my arm. You would think with all of those and an iPhone, I would be a bit more organized!
how fun! i would use them for writing perfect little love notes to my boy... and leaving them in secret places for him to find!
OMG, I LOVE Sharpies. I use them to decorate my notebooks. I'd definitely use them for that.
Cool! I would use them to write my hubby sweet thank you notes on our new owl sticky notes!
Sweet! I would use them to finish out my current journal so I can start on my next one...getting to start a new journal is really inspiring me right now!
I just LOVE Sharpies! I'm want to make a big poster to greet my sister in the airport. Sharpies would be perfect... :) Thanks!!
are you kidding me?! i wanted to buy these a few weeks back but couldn't really afford them. (i'm a single mama on a very thin budget) I specifically wanted them for shrinkadinks i was drawing out for buttons for some clothing for my baby! the fine points would do the trick!
Sharpies bring back memories of my mom, she always had one to write with. Both the classic and the superfine tips.
I'd probably use them the same way, for writing notes and lists and things and for decorating my journals. :)
i'll probably call some of my drawing buddies over, put up a huge white sheet of paper against the wall and go crazy on it... our living room walls are all white and i've been thinking about doing something fun and colorful to them!
We use them at home and at work. They're great on a Habitat build site. :)
A mural. Those colors are just popping out at me... :)

Oh this would be so much fun! I would use these lovely Sharpies for scrapbooking, gift making for my boyfriend and friends, doodling. OH they would be so fun! xoxox
I think I would use them for everything! :)
i use sharpies for journaling and making Post-It Notes lists :) i love how well they write! as a writer, they're one of my favorite tools to use. love this giveaway!
How can one live without Sharpies? They buy the cheapo pseudo-imitation version at work, and I refuse to use them! I love to use them to make borders.
I know my niece would flip out at that many colors, and would let her use them under CLOSE SUPERVISION (she's four, god only knows how many surfaces she'd mark if I turned my back). Awesome giveaway!
I love that we all have this Sharpie obsession, that and paper and life is gooood!
I have at least one around my neck every day at work...we indicate cover panels (in kitchens) to our customers with them.
My kids and I will do a lot of colouring and title pages...um, I mean, I certainly don't do their homework!
And I love to label and the house and all of its belongings will continue to be labelled up with the perfect Sharpie labeller!
oooh, i always love me some sharpies. i like to draw on mix cd's with them.
i tweeted!
Im so excited!! Im going to facebook and tweet right now... I will also try to share on my blog between now and wednesday :)

With that many sharpies, the only thing I can guarantee is that I'd make a mess. A giant, colorful mess.

what a spiffy giveaway!
i'd use them in my journal for sure. and i'd use them for decorating pretty much anything that won't get me in trouble with the law or my parents.
Who doesn't love sharpies? I just started a job as a school nurse so the possibilites are endless! Bullentin boards, hall passes, office decorating, etc :)
Oh I LOVE sharpies :) And it's perfect timing, the 14th is my birthday LOL!
I've never had Sharpies! The first thing that comes to mind mind is a shoe painting project!

Sharpies! I've been needing to make lists and such to organize some, and would love to do so in pretty colors...
Sharpies are my go to tool for cd and dvd covers. I don't know what I would do without them!
-Lily
i'd love to try using sharpies and a bleach pen to refashion some t-shirts
I love Sharpies! I would probably label stuff in my classroom with them...not very creative, I know...but very practical. :)
sweet sharpies would be used for:
*designing my own knitting care labels
*doing a scrapbook page for my Grampa's 90th b-day (trust me, I need all the help I can get)
*poster love for kids' programming at work!
Gah, it'd be like having the awesome big box of crayons in preschool. I'd use them after I wrap my cookbooks in kraft paper to decorate the covers and write the titles on the sides :)
OOO exciting giveaway! I was jsut thinking that I need to find where to get some more. (limitied variety in my lil town :() I would use them to share some post-love, art journaling and to draw some designs on some fabric i think... make my own patterns. Thnx for the opportunity to enter. Meeks xo
I make my own greeting cards and I would definitely use the sharpies for that project. But hey, you could use these for tons of different projects. The sky is the limit. Thanks for the giveaway, Alli!
Oh, wow, I love me some Sharpies. I make cards and my son loves them to do all of his art work. thanks for the giveaway.

i would use the 24 colors when color coding my calendar for the color of nail polish i wore that day - and for everything else of course
Oh wow, sharpies are good for everything! At the minute I am getting a kick out of making cat tags for my cat out of shrink plastic and these would be ideal to decorate it!

i love sharpies! i would love to use them to write on the post its i'm leaving everywhere as part of www.operationbeautiful.com
Woo hoo, some many ways to use Sharpies....
Oooh fun. I have lots of little nieces and nephews who are always having birthdays. I don't usually like the usual gift wrap business, so this past Christmas I found a roll of plain brown paper gift wrap at IKEA that I've since been decking out with rubber stamps and bakers' twine and such to customize it to the gift recipient/occasion. I think these sharpies would be outstanding in that context. :)
Tooo much fun - 24 Sharpies - just THINK of the possibilities!
Sharpies one my all time favorites for drawing etc.
Hi! I use Sharpies every day at work marking up and creating great marketing pieces for a luxury home builder. Also, I coach figure skating and use Sharpies ALL THE TIME for my students' weekly journal - I write in different colors to make elements, jumps, and spins stand out for things they need to practice or work on! I love Sharpies!
(I'm going to tweet and post on Facebook too!)
I love Sharpies too. We're about to move so there are quite a few boxes, folders and miscellaneous items that need labels. And let's not forget the "Moving Sale" posters to spread around the neighborhood.

Thanks!
So I'm a student artist, and I love working in sharpies. I would deff use the sharpies to finish a triptych I'm working on!
ooh i love sharpies. i like to decorate burned CDs with them. <3 they make me happy in the car.
Greatest latest artsy inventions: pink duct tape and colored sharpies. Amazing!!! I make personal greeting cards w/ them. And I only have 7 colors! :)
Love the camera decoration! If I had the talent I would love to do something like the sharpie decorated basement or I saw these amazing sharpie parasols today! also I like to use them to draw little temp tattoos on myself :)
you know i've never used a sharpie! i've always wanted to give them a go! i guess i'd use them for plain old doodling most, but i'd also use them to draw out quilt patterns, as i mostly make up my own, so it's really helpful to use different colours to plan them out!
Awesome giveaway! I could make so much art with my two littles. Thanks!!!
I want to sharpie my old pickup truck with traditional henna patterns! Real bad.
Thanks for the giveaway!

OMGosh... they look fantastic! We can't get nearly as many Sharpies here in the UK so I'd use them to embellish my makeover tunic/skirt and my wrist-cuffs. I could also use them on mini-canvasses... lotsa things!
I found your blog by accident and really like your "thrifty" style! =D
