{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. }

Congratulations!! My favorite color is Pink Sorbet and maybe they should consider making a multicolor twine next. Wouldn’t that be pretty?
Ohhh – loveliness! I NEED this twine – so pretty. And I do love those magnets that you posted. Thanks for a chance to win some.
I like the Pink Sorbet. I think maybe a pink/black combo color should be next.
I subscribed to your blog.
I love the Caribbean color…maybe a metallic next? It seems like they have so many colors already it’s hard to say. So pretty though…congrats on your win! :)
I like Pink Sorbet. I would be so happy to win fourteen spools of twine. How exciting.
I subscribe to your blog.
I like you on FB. Even though I don’t get an entry for doing this, I always post contests I enter on my blog.
They are all pretty wonderfully fantastic! I really like peapod and denim at the moment. I think that a rich turquoise would be a fun color to include.
I like you on facebook and follow your blog.
Mandarin for sure. I love all things orange!
Soooo excited for you! What a fun thing to win! (And because you won, we get to see all your neat ideas – yeah for us!!) My favorite color is Caribbean – yeah for summer! I would suggest another summer fav – coral! Wouldn’t Caribbean & Coral be so fun together?!
so hard to pick one but Peapod is my fave. maybe next could be a royal purple or a coral color
Twitter follower here :)
I into the Pink Sorbet at the moment. Would love to see a bright Turquoise!
My favorite color twine is Honey Dew. I think they should come out with a varigated twine. Congrats on your wonderful prize.
Wow lucky you! You are going to have a lot of fun with that much twine. :)
I would really love to so a twine with white, teal and green together in one strand. I have beach pages just waiting for it!
I “liked” you on facebook.
I would like to see another shade of blue~preferably a dark turquoise color. I do love twine. Thanks for thinking of us and congrats. I am on your FB now.
Oh my goodness – how exciting! Congrats on that big win!! I love all of the colors…normally I’d say that the caribbean is my favorite, but I am drawn to the honeydew! SO pretty. And the mini spool magnets is super cute. Love, love.
Follow you on Twitter AND subscribe to your blog! I’ll hop over to Facebook and do that now too :)
oooo, so pretty! my 7yo son thinks they should have “pumpkin.” Or maybe a pumpkin spice?
thanks for an awesome giveaway (and congrats on your win!)!!
oops! forgot the first part…my favorite is peapod (kiddo’s favorite is carribean).
…and, i already subscribe to your blog! ;)
I love the lemondrop shade – can’t go wrong with yellow, right? And I think a peach shade wouldn’t be bad.
Wow, out of over 5,000? That’s awesome! I won a giveaway once on Kelle Hampton’s blog and I felt like a rock star. Congrats on all the great twine!
I’m an earthy kind of girl, so I really take a liking to Cappuccino. I’m really into deep purple right now. I’ve seen a lot of dresses on Pinterest with this deep purple color and I just swoon. So I’d love to see a deeper purple than the lilac.
So, um…I’m a bit of a stalker and follow you every where.
Oh, that would be sooo exciting!!! Congrats on your win. I am sooo in a fall mood lately so, I would say the Mandarin and Cappacino are my favorite right now. Next color….I think a mandarin cappcino mix….who couldn’t use some orang and brown twine???
That is so awesome that you won! Congrats!!! I can’t pick a fovorite… they are all so beautiful (didn’t know twine could be beautiful but theirs is) I guess my top two are the peapod and caribbean! Thanks for the chance to win
Mandarin is my favorite color. It is just yummy! I think that they should start making air mail like Divine Twine. It would come in handy for the 4th of July, mailing, and crafts that are patriotic or have to do with travel…
My favorite color is Pink Sorbet! I would love to see as a new color Pink Sorbet and Honey Dew combined!
Lemon Drop is too gorgeous for words. I would love to get a whole spool some day. The color that I would like would be a light orange. I actually teared up when I read your blog post.
My favorite color that they already make is blossom. It reminds me of Barbie…I wish that they would start making the red white and blue twine. It’s SO cool.
I just LIKED you on FB. Jeepers creepers, I hope that I win. And thanks for the chance.
My favorite color is honeydew – YUM! I am a fan on FB now.
There are so many wonderful colors already – maybe a red/green mix for the holidays?
I am loving that Pink Sorbet color! punchy fun!
I follow you everywhere! oh wait, that sounds creepy… you know what I mean!
My favorite color so far is the cappuccino. I love pairing it wait burlap. I would love to see a dark purple or a light blue.
I am totally loving Caribbean twine :D Mind you, I don’t know that there’s a colour I DO NOT like. I just got my first samples of The Twinery twine, and aim to use it on my cards in the next week :)
I am now a follower on Twitter :D
I think I like Honeydew the best. They should make a pink/brown or aqua/brown color combo next. They would be perfect for baby shower stuff :)
I subscribe through Google.
I love the Pink Sorbet and wish they would make a Sunshine Yellow (the Lemon Drop is still too Orange for some of my stuff) – Love your blog, I follow you on Facebook.

I love this twine !!! I recently discovered it at a scrapbook store and bought a few yards in every color available ;) my favorite color is Caribbean and I think they should make some combo colors next…. Maybe red/green for Christmas or black/orange for Halloween
Congrats! I like blossm or peapod. Another yellow for their next color would suit me fine.
I have liked your page
My fav is DENIM and i think the next color should be a red wine color that should be called RED WiNE.
love the twine! i liked your FB page and will subscribe to your blog later from a PC.
Congratulations on your winning….what a great gift!! I love this twine. My favorite colors right now are honeydew and stone….but I love them all. I am a follower.
I am a follower on all three.
My fave is Caribbean and I would love to see rainbow colored twine!
Congratulations….you lucky duck, you!! I would be running to open my box ASAP, too. My favorite color is Blossom…..but I am in love with all of them. I would love for them to make a Peach color.
