{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. }

Mandarin! I love Mandarin because it is sooo bright and pops. I think I would like them to make an equally bright and poppy purple color, maybe with a hint of pink in it.

There is no way to pick a favorite color! But today I’m liking the lemondrop spool. It might be fun to see a lighter brown (tan).
Congratulations! I love the new stone color. I think a pink/grey or pink/brown combination would be lovely.

I love the Pink Sorbet color! So pretty :) I would love to see them make a really dark midnight blue color!
I am subscribed to your blog AND I follow you on Twitter :)
Oh boy… So hard to choose… I think it’s a tie between Denim and Maraschino… But I also love Stone (and would be perfect to match with a wedding suite design I’m finalizing right now)… And… Well I love them all! :)
At the top of my wishlist would be a Teal shade or Robin’s Egg Blue…
I’m wondering if it’s possible to produce backer’s twine with two colors (instead of white+color) or maybe with even 3 different ones…
Crossing my fingers and thanks for the lovely giveaway!
Ciao from Italy!
Me again… I’ve just liked your FB page.
I liked your FB page
Love this twine!
I now follow your blog!
I love all the pink twines. I think they should do a blue green color.
I now subscribed to your blog
I like all the colors of twine, but if I had to pick one I would have to say Denim. I think it would be awesome to see a multicolored twine with little flecks of all the colors the Twinery has to offer. I could think of all sorts of uses for a multicolored twine and it would go with just about any layout or craft project!!! I would love to score some twine —- I’ve been on the Twinery’s website multiple times eyeing their twine like its candy!!! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!!
P.S. —- I like you on Facebook!!! :)
