It's a Getting it Together Giveaway!



I've been so busy that I haven't had time to stay on top of my blog reading. I hope all my friends out there are doing well. I'll catch up soon!

I seem to have bitten off a little more than I can chew this year.

I signed myself up for four holiday swaps. Yes, four. Yikes!  I'm having a cookie party on Saturday. I am still cleaning and decorating. I can't have a Christmas cookie party with no Christmas decorations up! Lol. And I'm constantly distracted by Words with Friends! Yes, I love that game.  

So, I am doing some serious decluttering since my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws are coming over to my house for the first time for the cookie party. I can't have them thinking crazy thoughts about my house keeping skills. Actually I lack the house keeping gene but can't have them knowing that, lol.

I'm so messy and just love stuff! I always see a reason to keep stuff. I think to myself "I can really use this when I get a bigger house or when I do blah, blah, blah I'll need this." That way of thinking is really holding me back. I've heard that a cluttered house leads to a cluttered mind or something like that. Well, it's true!! My mind is always occupied with "I've gotta clean this or I can't do this because stuff is in the way." My house is in a constant state of disarray, so much so that I have to embark on a major cleaning frenzy before I can even invite people over.

No more, nope, I'm getting it together.

I think that this will help me not only in my personal life (my husband can't stand all my clutter!) but also professionally. Right now, there are things I want to make but don't feel like getting out the sewing machine because it's a huge undertaking to drag it out of the closet. I feel like there is so much clutter in my craft room that it is blocking my creativity. In my defense, it is a guest bedroom/office/craft room, lol.


So, I've said all this to tell you that I'm have a giveaway, several of them actually. I have so much scrapbooking/crafty items that I'm giving much of my stash away. This is new stuff. Unopened, still in package, new, shiny things. Stickers, paper, embellishments, all kinds of goodies. All you have to do is visit my shop (LeeLu Creations on etsy) and  leave me a comment about which is your fave item. Or just tell me how fabulous of a person I am. Whatever. Just leave me a comment on this post. I will randomly pick at least five winners so hopefully that many people will enter, lol. I will pick the winners Thursday evening so you can enter any time up to Thursday, 11/30/12 before 6 PM Eastern. I hope to ship on Friday if I can get the winners addresses.

Please share!

  1. I love the red tractor bobby pins lol. Of all things to like, but yeah. This is a nice giveaway and I probably shouldn't even enter because I have the same problem that you do. I have too much stuff in the messy bedroom but I just accumulate more. I'm on vacation this week so I really should clean it up.

  6. Hi, I love the handcuff earrings, they are a real conversation starter. I also would love to be one of the winners of your giveaway and think it is a great idea to pay it forward.

    Thank you, Cheri

  7. Several items I really like but I love those daisy bobby pins. I also am a lover of stuff, but I say if I don't use it in 6-9mths someone else could probably use it more.

  8. This is very nice of you to do this. I'm actually torn between the yellow acorn earrings and the beaded skull necklace. Of the two, the earrings would be worn more but the necklace is just so neat. But I'm gonna go with the acorn earrings because they are so cute (if I'm a lucky one).

  9. I can't decide if I like the swallow necklace or the Czech glass dragonfly one better... I'm going to go with BOTH as my favorite(s) :)

  10. I love fall so I'm a fan of the bead acorn earrings - but I also must say seeing all the hair pins makes me think I have some vintage buttons that I could put on some hair pins! Super cute!

  13. Well I missed the giveaway, darn it all, but I wanted to stop by. I looked at your etsy shop and my favorite piece is "Sun Necklace Bohemian Necklace" - YUMMY!!

    We are kindred spirits I guess cause I am a "collector" of all things I can somehow-someday use! AND I too have some ideas in mind to sew but feel the same way about lugging out the sewing machine. I keep sayin " when I get to the bigger place (end of this month) I will do such and such...but I know its not really true! So sad! :)
