Campaign Giveaway #4 | Enveloped with Love

February 22, 2010 - 1:24 pm Kristin V - Another fabulous giveaway! You are rocking it Liz! So I am a little ashamed to admit it but I collect Disney Pins. Mainly Tinkerbell. I started over ten years ago and I cannot stop myself. I am not sure I collect them because I love them, but I do love getting to meet other people from all over the world while trading them; that is what really feeds my addiction ;).

February 22, 2010 - 1:26 pm Sara - Love love love this!! What a fantastic giveaway Liz! Let's see...my favorite things: good food, good friends, and a good life. I like to collect those :) ha. I can't really collect anything in such a small space, but I can collect experiences!

February 22, 2010 - 1:27 pm EmilyG - Favorite things... hmm... Well, i definitely collect make-up and spend too much $$ on it! ;) I also collect shot glasses (at least one from most places i've travelled to in the last 6 years or so) and interesting lighters. I also collect bottles from foreign countries & have used them in decorating our guest bedroom (i love when something i collect is useful). Btw, i too "collect" cards and sometimes stationary. And i too have a hard time actually USING the cards and stationary i love most. BUT i've tried to actually start using them because what's the point of having such lovely communication tools if i'm not going to send them to people? ;) -EmG.

February 22, 2010 - 1:30 pm Jennie - I have started collecting Buddha statues, but I only have a few. :)

February 22, 2010 - 1:33 pm EmilyG - Allllso... Jimmy collects Penguins (and i guess i really do too). We have a small christmas tree that has been dubbed our "Penguin tree". Actually... it's still up (we didn't have the <3 to take it down while it was still so wintery outside). That needs to be taken care of and soon. -EG

February 22, 2010 - 1:35 pm erin - ooh i LOVE stationary, and i always swear that i will write more letters and send more post... but i just never spend the money on stationary that i want to. i do collect journals though... and have too many, is that possible? love this!

February 22, 2010 - 1:37 pm nancy - favorites! oh, man. for me, i have a huge weakness for adorable, quirky mugs. i drink tea almost every day and it just brings happiness to my day to have fun colors, textures, and designs on my mugs. also, i'm a sucker for good music and am always spending too much on an awesome new band or discovering an old classic. for christmas i bought my boyfriend a record player.... but deep down i think i bought it for myself. :)

February 22, 2010 - 1:38 pm Jennifer Prince - Where are you getting this stuff?!?! It is all amazing!! :)

February 22, 2010 - 1:38 pm Tyler - My favorite things are new kitchen tools. I just got a bunch of stuff from Pampered Chef and I've been cooking with all of it! I've been cooking more than usual too so I can use them all and see how they work! I try not to spend too much money on cooking tools but if I got to a Pampered Chef party or walk past William Sonoma I know I'll be coming home with a lighter pocket book but with lots of cool gadgets to play with.

February 22, 2010 - 1:38 pm Ashley - I collect wine labels. Actually ever since I was a little girl, I can always remember my mom saving the wine bottle when it was empty. She would put a wet paper towel on it and leave it in the sink until the label peeled off. My grandfather (we call him popsie), who is actually a wine maker, has collected them too. In his house that he and my uncle built, he has a very special bathroom where all of his labels are displayed. He pastes them on the wall with hodge podge glue as his very own special wallpaper! So that's why my mom always saved them because she wanted to one day continue the tradition and create a wallpaper on her own. Well my Popsie has since remarried and moved out of his house which my mom just moved into last summer. She adds to the wallpaper often. Now that I have graduated, I am spending time at my mom's and every time we have a bottle of wine, I very carefully remove the label, and pasted it on the wall. I'd say probably half of the bathroom wall is covered now. It is one of the neatest things I've ever seen. Before I would paste my labels on the bathroom, I would put them in a journal and write notes about the wine, when we drank it, if it was a special occasion, etc. I think one day when Cory and I have our own house, I can see us creating our own collector's edition wallpaper :)

February 22, 2010 - 1:39 pm Abbey Howe - Those look so adorable! I would love to read that book, i always struggle with what to say

February 22, 2010 - 1:39 pm Jennifer Prince - Oh, and I love vintage clothing, which is my new fetish, and that is breaking my bank right now!! :)

February 22, 2010 - 1:40 pm Abbey Howe - tweeted

February 22, 2010 - 1:40 pm Colleen - I LOVE to make memories with my husband, spend special time with old friends, travel, eat healthy food and drink good red wine! :)

February 22, 2010 - 1:45 pm emily finkel - my favourite things are home goodies.... namely- candles. a girl can never have too many candles. and, of course, good music. if ever i am home, there is music playing and there are candles lit....

February 22, 2010 - 1:46 pm deea - I never win giveaways, but I can't keep myself from trying! My favorite things, hmmmmmm. Most of what I love, for me, I never spend $ on because I feel selfish if I do, so I end up spending it on things I enjoy, but can share. Food and cooking, mainly. What delights my heart are things like world travel, writing, music, family, friends, photography, and creating things others can enjoy. :)

February 22, 2010 - 1:51 pm Becca M - I collect shot glasses and have collected them since I was a little girl. I used to think that they were miniature tea glasses :)

February 22, 2010 - 2:03 pm Julie - Oh my. Well, I guess the thing that I'm drawn to is beautiful fabric. In bright colors, please! I love Amy Butler fabric, and would love to make all kinds of fun home things with it, but the problem is that I am not quite the proficient seamstress. Working on that, though! I also love coffee. NO really, share with me a good cup of coffee, and I am forever your friend! I love this giveaway. Everything's so cute!

February 22, 2010 - 2:04 pm Anna - I guess the only thing I really collect are books! If I had the money, I would love to own first editions of my favorites (To Kill A Mockingbird among them). I love to organize the books on my shelves and sort them into favorites and to be read piles and I love to share them with others. I'm currently working on my quest to own all first editions of Harry Potter before the price becomes astronomical. It would be so easy to blow most of my money at stores like Givens and Barnes and Noble. Thank goodness for paperbackswap.com!

February 22, 2010 - 2:10 pm dustin - This is beautiful! I also love paper and stationary, as well as books, flowers, and textiles. I'm getting cozy just thinking about it all!

February 22, 2010 - 2:12 pm Laura Reaux - Oh my goodness... the in touch clutch is darling!! I love love love this stuff (I'm a major paper lover, too). I can't help myself when it comes to JOURNALS. Yum!

February 22, 2010 - 2:35 pm Meridith - Oh, chica! This is fantastic x309,084. Paper + sweet designs + stamps? Perfection. I too have a box full of collected treasures. I was just thinking how I want to break out my paper journal again, and write letters. I had pen pals as a child, and have nearly a dozen (mostly filled) journals. Thanks for the sweet giveaways!

February 22, 2010 - 2:39 pm Jill Daugherty - I'm pretty sure I'm a collector at heart - my husband calls me a hoarder (but I've seen the show, and am definitely not a hoarder!) My favorite things to collect are memories from when my brother and I were little, pictures and books. I keep all the books I read just because I like to look at them!

February 22, 2010 - 2:52 pm E.Nikol Brown - This give away is a wonderful idea!! I am a collector of a few things; laughs (the kind that resound through a room), photographs, letters, love, dreams, journals and elephants. My b-day is coming up on the 1st of March and I am thinking I will be starting a stationary collection, maybe even start collecting envelope seals and wax...mmmm...

February 22, 2010 - 3:10 pm Ashley Wickline - I know this sounds crazy but I love mail (with the exception of bills).. I have birthday cards as far back as my 10th birthday, in addition to wedding cards, thank you notes, letters etc. And yes, every once in a while I dig out the boxes and totes and just read my heart out for an entire night.. it's actually fun and always makes me feel so loved and blessed.

February 22, 2010 - 3:25 pm Brett S - Sheesh! I have so many favorite things: my family, coffee shops, headbands, vintage jewelry, antique furniture, breakfast, cute cards, and bookstores:) I really could go on but these are at the top of my list!

I get one every time I go to a new tea house, which usually ends up being with my precious grandmother who lives across country. Each has a really lovely memory attached...

February 22, 2010 - 4:42 pm Rebecca - What a great gift! Thank you for sharing! I collect craft supplies from old toilet paper rolls to lent from the dryer to stamps of all seasons, glitter glue, stickers, sea shells, popsickle sticks. I tear up cardboard boxes for painting and collage projects.

February 23, 2010 - 9:09 am Shahanna - A few of my favorite things: my entertaining dogs: Charlotte & Gander, my adorable niece and nephews, baking, and some many other little things. I end up collecting craft paper, cards, and ribbons. I had to make a craft room to hold all the stuff:)

February 23, 2010 - 9:10 am Shahanna - Facebooked:)

February 23, 2010 - 9:30 am Nikki VanDeWeert - Hola Liz... Well, I collect pens..strange right? Anywhere I go, I look for pens... and then I try them out, and if they make my handwriting look good, I get them! I love when people give away pens with their companies on them, because then they are just asking me to take one :) I have multiple pen cups with so many random pens in them! But you never know when you will need a specific color or type to write with. I get sad when one of my favorites run out of ink. LOL. My favorite things... definitely my Pup Mika! I think I have more pics of her sleeping cute or looking at me funny than I do of anyone else!! hahaha!

February 23, 2010 - 9:31 am Nikki VanDeWeert - You've been facebooked :)

February 23, 2010 - 10:30 am Suzi Dove - I collect magnets from all of the places I've travelled over the years. Every time I go in my kitchen, it serves as a reminder of the memories that I have of each of those places. From South Dakota to Japan to Cincinnati to Sicily. I'm obsessed with finding the most unique magnet and my fridge is almost absolutely covered.

February 23, 2010 - 11:10 am Naazia - I'm just like you- I Loooooove paper! I spend all my time in stationary stores like Kate's Paperie and Papyrus, just looking at all the beautiful paper they have. I also am into scrapbooking. this is the ultimate giveaway!!

February 23, 2010 - 11:10 am Naazia - also just facebook shared it!

February 23, 2010 - 11:42 am Bethany Dempsey - I collect really neat ink pens. I try to find old, antique looking ones, very small ones and have a few very big pens also. But I have pens from all over the world when anyone goes to a new country or place here in the states or anytime we have been on Vacation or travel.

February 23, 2010 - 11:45 am Jennifer - Good grief ... lots of people like this!! :)

February 23, 2010 - 11:50 am Jennifer - Apparently, I am also a collector of dust and dirty laundry b/c that is what is in my house at this very moment!! :)

February 23, 2010 - 2:06 pm melanie friscoe - I collect books. With limited space, I had to institute a one-in, one-out policy. Problem is, I can't part with any of my books. Thank goodness for libraries.

February 23, 2010 - 2:07 pm melanie friscoe - FB'ed. Great giveaway.

February 23, 2010 - 8:37 pm Heidi Brank - I am a book addict. Love books. Buy too many. Love the feel of them. Love the smell of them. Love to read them. Love to look at them on my shelves. Also love cloth dipes. Love to shop for them. Love to wash them, fold them, but most especially...love to hang them on the clothesline and watch them flap in the breeze.

February 23, 2010 - 8:38 pm Heidi Brank - facebooked.

February 23, 2010 - 9:18 pm bec - I have an impractical love of hats. I definitely don't wear them enough to warrant buying them -- but when has that stopped anyone from collecting!? Love downstairsDesigns, by the way (led me here)!

February 24, 2010 - 8:44 am Daniela Campbell - Over the years I have collected numerous things. Paper dolls, Barbie dolls, Porclien dolls, shells, rocks,magazines, stamps,and many more. I was a packrat! Now with a fiance in my life who is extremly organized and clutter free, I find my collections stored away at my parents house. There are a few that I keep with me, my crazy collection of funky thank you cards and my never ending purse collection.

February 24, 2010 - 12:00 pm EmilyG - Posted about on Twitter! :) -EmilyG.

February 24, 2010 - 1:12 pm Alice - hmm - does camera equipment count as a collection? ;)

February 24, 2010 - 1:21 pm Katie Santiago - Hmm, favorite things...I do love hats! And scarves...and bandannas. I have quite a collection of all those. For a real collection though, I'd have to count my memory box collection...tidbits from my memories in life.

February 24, 2010 - 1:56 pm Bridget - The only thing I collect is one piece of random artwork from each place that I travel, I started back in high school and have slowly been building the collection ever since. Instead of buying souvenir t-shirts or shot glasses, I just get one painting or photograph that reminds me of that place from a street market or shop. Now I have a huge wall of pictures that are bright colors, black and white, huge, tiny… Of course they don’t match each other at all, but they all seem to go together because of the memories attached to them.

February 24, 2010 - 3:49 pm Justine - Oh man, I'm in love with this giveway!! Okay...my favorite collection obsession is pens. I have way too many pens. I don't think I'll ever run out of pens because I'm always getting more. In fact, I've ordered 2 new ones just this week. (Egads!) It's not unusual for me to spend at least $20 bucks on pens in a month.

February 24, 2010 - 4:13 pm Leopoldine - I tend to collect quite a few random things. Amongst the lot: coke bottles / coke in bottles, random vintage/vintagey styled things (like downstairsDesigns work, which brought me here), some notebooks here and there (and just like my mom as well as you I never use them! >..<).

February 24, 2010 - 4:54 pm Helen - I collect greeting cards. I'm obsessed with great quality and funny cards. I have cards given to me since I was 8 years old when my cousin went to Disney World and sent me a card. I also keep cards from an Italian pen pal I had in high school. And I still have all the cards my husband gave me over the past years.

February 24, 2010 - 5:22 pm sabahnur - i collect pens, decotapes,and ribbons:) i love this give away tOo much ,just want to win!

February 24, 2010 - 7:13 pm theaxx - My favourite things... those first raindrops that gently tap your nose before the sky opens and bursts with rain on a hot summer's afternoon. um, handwritten postcards forgotten in an old box and rediscovered on a crappy day to make you smile slightly. and as for collecting... well I seem to have a definite Spoon problem... you would think there's a limit to the spoons you require, but... apparently not! hehe, I love spoons, and of course Spoonful (www.spoonfulzine.com) cause it makes me happy :) Thanks for hosting such an insanely yummy giveaway. It's very exciting!! thea. xx

February 24, 2010 - 8:25 pm Maura - I collect paperweights. Glass paperweights to be exact. Some where passed down from family members that I don't know.. recently my Grandmother gave me some of hers. I wanted to see if any I have are valuable. Once I started thinking about it.. What would it matter? They are worth a lot to me! I couldn't sell them! They are so unique and different and each have a story!

February 24, 2010 - 8:49 pm Carmen - I "collect" and spend way to much money on DVDs. Me and my husband like to just relax and watch a whole season of a TV show on DVD in a weekend or a ton of movies. But thank goodness for Netflix when we are trying to save money. =)

February 25, 2010 - 9:34 am Sara - Facebooked and blogged :):) Loooooove this giveaway!!!

February 25, 2010 - 10:55 am elizabeth leeds - i'm not much of a collector.... but polka dot things just speak to me somehow, and I have a hard time resisting polka dots :-) My latest polka dot splurge was rainboots :-)

February 25, 2010 - 8:09 pm becs - Its silly, but I overspend on yummy smelling soap! I love the aromatherapy stuff at B&BW. The smell makes me smile every time I wash my hands :).

February 26, 2010 - 4:25 pm Meridith - I also just tweeted (HopeCubanita)! Thank you lady!
