{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 like lemondrop the best and I think the next color should be pinot noir. I recently subscribed to your blog and liked your FB page. Thanks to you and The Twinery for the chance to win.
I just reread your post. I should have told you in a this separate comment that I’m a recent subscriber and FB fan.
it is so hard to pick a fav but i’ll go with honeydew… if they don’t already have it, i think a dark navy blue would be nice… congrats on your win! i’d be a crazy wildebeest if i won too!
Wonderful post about the most amazing twine! Super cool giveaway, thanks for the chance!

Carribbean is fabulous!
Next up should be a juicy coral color!
: )
I love the purple and hot pink. How exciting that you won so many spools!! You are very lucky!!! Not sure what color I’d suggest next. :-)
I love the purple — if there was a whole pack of different shades of purple, that’s what I’d get. So, the next new color should just be another shade of purple!
I absolutely love the twinerery and their bakers twine, thank you for the chance to win. My favorite color of twine is cappuccino.
I liked your facebook page, thanks for yet another chance to win!!!!
i think merlot should be next. love Caribbean.
I love the pea pod and think they should make cucumber next…
I love the pink sorbet. Are there even any colours left to make?? They already have such a fantastic range of colours.
I like your fb page now :)
Oh my goodness, how delicious is all that twine!!!! My favourite of that bunch is probably the honeydew. The next colour should be a teal or pumpkin colour I think.
Liked your facebook page!!!! I already am subscribing to your blog, but I’m not on twitter.
Mandatory comment: I LOVE this twine! I would like to see more earth colors – I love cappucino and I would like to see a RUST color next! My favorite in the current line is the maraschino red and white!

I “like” you on FB…cause common…you’re a pretty awesome chik with some way awesome ideas!
I love honey dew, it is so dreamy. I would to have a peachy color to coordinate it with. You are sooo lucky to have all the colors. Thanks for the chance to win some myself.

Congrats on your winnings. They’re definitely too pretty to be hidden away. How to choose a favourite? Ok, it’ll have to be the carribean – is that turquoise or aqua? Cos that’s what the next colour should be. Red and Aqua my fav combo.
Right now, I love that light pink “blossom.” A new colour i’d suggest would be navy…. Maybe called “in the navy”. Yah, there’s a reason i’m not in marketing. :)
Oh, and i “like” you on fb too.
Lilac is my favorite and I would love to see another purple. Congrats on your big win!
I love the pink sorbet. Congrats on winning, thanks for sharing.
I love the Honeydew color! Great giveaway!
I follow you on Twitter! :)
I like lemondrop. As for the new color, I can’t get enough turquoise!
Congrats on winning and thanks for sharing!
I will always love red, but how cool are all the others all together! maybe they could do a rainbow twine!
Peapod is my fave. The next color, candy apple red.
I’m a follower and just “liked” you on FB.
I love lilac, would love to see coral.
I am loving Lilac and I would love if they made a black and orange combo for Halloween!
I love the purple. Would like to see an army green color twine.
I’m now following your blog.
Who can resist the Pink Sorbet?
I am in love withe Carribean…and if they did another color, I am a fan of brown so maybe another shade of brown. Maybe Creme brulee? Yum…now I’m hungry…
I also subscribe to your blog. thanks for this chance to win, and boy what I would do with those wonderfully colorful spools of twine you received…you’re right, they can’t just sit in a drawer somewhere. Let the world see their beauty!
I follow your blog, twitter AND instagram.

Lilac is gorgeous… but I think they definitely, DEFINITELY need a duck-egg blue! :)
