sharpie giveaway 1 text


There are eleven days until Christmas (can you believe it?) and I think it's time for a holiday Sharpie giveaway!  One winner will receive all of the following:

-8 pack of Sharpie Fine Point Retractable markers (these are so awesome - no caps to lose!)
sharpie retractable 2


-3 pack of Sharpie Soft Grip pens (perfect for making lists and checking them twice!)
sharpie pen


-4 pack of Sharpie highlighters (one of my favorite organizational tools!)
sharpie highlighter 2

If you'd like to win all of these (a $35 value!), just leave a comment below, telling me one thing you would use your new Sharpies for!  

For extra entries, share the giveaway via Facebook, Twitter, or your blog.  Come back here and leave a new comment for each spot you've shared (plus a link).  Followers also get a bonus entry; just leave another comment telling me where you follow.  That's five possible entries, total!

This giveaway is going to have a quick turnaround: enter by midnight Friday night and I'll announce the winner on Saturday morning. 

This giveaway is open to international readers.  Have fun!

Oh man, I LOVE new sharpies! I was just thinking I needed new ones for addressing my Etsy packages! :)

I would use Sharpies to draw/doodle/write in art journals!

Tasha said...

I am *such* an organizational freak -- I would color code everything. I need to organize all my paper stuff: knitting patterns, pay stubs, random receipts, etc. The markers and highlighters would definitely help with that!

Oh I haven't seen those retractable ones! WAAAANNNTT! :D

I love using colored markers in my journal entries, sometimes I randomly switch colors, sometiems I use certain colors ot emphasize words, or I make random doodles.
