{Giveaway closed.}
I love Twitter.
I don’t spend much time there and do most of my twitter stuffs in the mornings while having it running in the background while I’m doing my blogging and email and such at 5am.
I accidentally left it up and running the other day and happened to see a tweet about The Twinery.
If they reached 5,000 likes/fans, they would be randomly selecting one of the 5,000 peeps who would win the grand prize of all FOURTEEN spools of twine (including three colors that weren’t even released at the time!).
I clicked over and was actually surprised I hadn’t already like their FB page.
I’ve long been a fan of their gorgeous twine. So I clicked like and moved on with my day.
I was #5,023. I don’t know why I remember that. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.
It’s probably obvious by now, but um, I WON!
The grand prize!!!
FOURTEEN SPOOLS of rainbow happiness all bundled up in candy cane goodness of twine!
Giddy.
Did a little dance and even squealed like a schoolgirl.
You should have seen how fast I rushed over to find something to open the box when it came in the mail!
You’d think I was being chased by a wildebeest or something.
But no…just excited about my sunshine in a box.
Maraschino, Pink Sorbet, Blossom, Mandarin & Lemondrop.
(How fun would it be if your job was to name all the colors?!)
Buttercream, Peapod, Honeydew, Caribbean, & Denim.
Denim (again), Lilac, Stone, Charcoal, & Cappuccino.
I have to figure out a fun way to display it…in my kitchen.
This stuff’s way too pretty to sit in a drawer hidden.
When I emailed Nicole my address to send my winnings, I told her “You know, there’s no way I’ll be able to resist blogging about this…and actually, now that I think of it, would you mind if I hosted a giveaway for my readers when I do it? I know they’d LOVE it!”
Because, sweet readers, I do love you.
Plus, it’d be a little janky of me to just sit and write an entire post about how amazing my luck was and do nothing but brag about my ROY G. BIV fabulous and then end the post.
I think about y’all. Seriously.
Luckily, Nicole is a sweetheart and agreed to give away a Colorful Bunch Sampler Pack!
15 yards of twine in each of the original 11 colors!
Which is perfect for making this (first on my twine usage agenda).
So, how do you win? Let’s keep this one fairly easy. (I really dislike giveaways with 8,000 ways to enter.)
1. Leave me a comment in this post telling me what your favorite color twine is AND what color you think they should make next. (1 entry. Mandatory.)
2. Either subscribe to my blog, follow me on Twitter, or like my Facebook page. You can do all three but it’s still 1 entry. If you already do all 3 just leave a SEPARATE comment telling me you do. (1 entry. Un-mandatory.)
I’ll randomly select a winner on Monday, August 8.
Good luck!
You want to win. Seriously. This stuff is super fun.
Oh, and FYI, spools are on sale right now for $12 (normally $14).
{This is not a sponsored post. The story I told was totally true. I randomly won and was under no obligation to blog about it. }

I LOVE all the colors, I don’t know if I could name a favorite. Surprisingly I probably use the Honeydew the most. Purple is my favorite color, so I would love if they came out with a darker shade of purple next! Thanks for the chance to win!

You lucky, lucky girl! I’m thinking you should share some of your rainbow of happiness with a few extra lovers of your blog. But seriously, congrats!!
I LOVE the pink sorbet color! I would love to see a deep blue-purple with maybe green for halloween crafts. :)
I subscribed to your blog via Googlereader.
I follow you on Twitter! :o)
And I love the peapod color… love them all, but that one would go great with my baking labels I use to deliver sweet treats to friends and neighbors. What a fun way to decorate their treat box!!!
I love them all…there is no favorite! lol. And I think they should make Pumpkin next!
My fav is the caribbean :) I would love to see a dark purple or eggplant color!
I like you on facebook and subscribe to you blog! :)
Caribbean is fav color right now. I am designing some wearable art and this color will be just what I need! The next color? Well that should be a Salmon or Coral color. Thanks!
I love twine too!! All the colors are fab, except I don’t care for the purples too much, just not a color I use except for around Halloween and Mardi Gras. Maraschino and Honeydew are like gold to me right now. I really, really, really want to see old fashion airmail twine. That red, white and blue all together would be so awesome!
I love Carribean!!! I think they should make a bright royal blue next. :)
I love caribbean! I think they should do chocolate next
I love the Maraschino Red… It would look great on some Christmas cards or tags! I would love to see a darker purple as their next colour!
I “liked” Life Rearranged on Facebook!
I subscribe to your blog!
I love every color, but my favourite is caribbean ~ and I think they should make a dark blue!
Really enjoy your blog. Blessings!
And, I started following you on Facebook today….thanks for the giveaway!
Love the Twinery. I have been hinting around my fammily that I want all of the colors (birthday/xmas/ect) My favorite is either caribbean or pink sorbet. I think the next color should be a deep plum color! Thanks for the giveaway!
Congratulations on your new collection of pretty twine! My favorite color is Carribean! I’d love to see them make a two-tone twine, maybe something like red/green and white for the holidays. Thanks for sharing!
Just subscribed to you blog! I love finding new blogs to follow!
My favorite color is Maraschino. I would love to see a neutral beige color, like desert sand! I’ve been obsessed with twine – so much fun!! :)
I love the yellow colors! I’m a sucker for bright colors that are almost neon so I would love to see those!
I like to read twitter, don’t really tweet too much myself, I tend to retweet a lot though. I am now following you on twitter. I’m Niecey62.
Lemondrop is so sunny and cheerful I would use that color a lot I think! For a new color, how about Truffle, a dark brown, or Watermelon, a nice pinky red?
PUHleeeeeeeease pick me! jk… Thanks for the chance to win!! Hm. Color to suggest? They have quite the assortment. BUT if it was possible, I would love to see two colors in one. Like fuchsia and teal mixed in one. Or grey and mustard… Anyway from the color choices available my favorite is FUCHSIA!! :D
And I already adore your page… follow/ fb/ twitter.
I lovew the marachino just for all the holiday baking I do- I can’t believe I didn’t know about Twinery until today! I think a nice medium to dark brown would be awesome but even more ‘awesomer’ would be two toned chocolate and pink!!!
my favorite color is pink sorbet, even though i’m not usually a pink person. next, they need to come up with a lime green color, something bright.
How can I pick a favorite color! They are all so wonderful, right now I am leaning toward maraschino as I can use it for bookmarks for my students in my 4th grade class. What color should they make next, maybe a bright lime green, that is my GD’s fave! Thanks for the chance!
I subscribed to your blog on my Google reader!
i follow your blog and like you on facebook :)
You are one lucky winner!!! I like the Carribean and would love to see a yellow/blue combo color.
Im now a follower!!!!! And Im in love with Lemonade and Honeydew!!!!
