Thanks so much for all of the sweet comments yesterday! I received some amazing e-mails as well that had me all teary-eyed again! Some of you thought I sounded a bit down yesterday, which I wasn’t at all. I was (and am) overwhelmed in a good way. When I didn’t know how to write about Lucketts, I just wrote what was on my heart and that’s what came out. I had a great night sleep last night, so I’m feeling much more energetic today. I worked on some more photography for my book and the labels for my milk paint products. Ugh…labels are so tedious! I’ll be glad when those are all finished! All of the tutorial writing I’ve done is really coming in handy for it, though! My high school English teacher would laugh if she knew the amount of writing I do now. I never gave a rip about grammar and spelling and instead preferred to argue about the interpretation of an Emily Dickinson poem. Anyway..it’s funny how things work out.
As I was getting ready for Lucketts, I received an e-mail from Kara of McMaster & Storm. She wanted to send me a European stapler to test out and give away on my blog. At first I was thinking, “if it’s not an upholstery stapler, I’m not interested.” Well, this is not an upholstery stapler, but it was the perfect timing for another important project I was working on…my giveaway for the Lucketts fair. I hadn’t even thought about using specialty (cute) staples to attach Reni’s cards to the top of Jami’s bags. I didn’t even know there were specialty staplers out there! So, when I saw these staplers staple cute little brass staples, I realized it was perfect for the Lucketts giveaway. And it was.
It’s a small thing, but these would’ve looked different if I used a standard office staple. The stapler itself is pretty cute as well…
Of course, I got blue, but they come in a variety of colors.
Would you like one? If so, just leave a comment telling me which color you would want if you win. McMaster & Storm is giving away three of them!
The giveaway is open to readers over the age of 18 and those living in the lower 48 states of the US. It will be closed Thursday, May 24, 2012 at midnight PST and I’ll announce the winners on Friday. I was not paid to run this giveaway, but I was given a free stapler! Woohoo!
