Giveaway from 2BeePress

Welcome to day three of my blog's birthday celebration! I hope you've entered the PoppyDreamz giveaway, and I know you loved yesterday's guest post from Emily at 52 Mantels. Well the goodies aren't done -- today we have a giveaway from...

Sarah...Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am a native Oregonian and currently living in Eugene, Oregon but I have lived in Japan and Brooklyn NY- both places full of design and creativity. While in Japan I fell in love with decorative paper and started collecting rolled sheets of paper and sending them home until my parents said, "Enough!" While in NY I studied bookbinding and love pocket journals. 

 When did you start making paper goods?
I have been collecting and creating with paper since I got my first pair of scissors and glue in Kindergarten.

What is your favorite thing in your shop?
I like everything I create and place in my shop, if it isn't a favorite of mine I won't sell it.

What is your favorite way to spend a weekend?
I love spending the weekend carving different stamps and printing on different colors and textures of paper. I also like to go hiking with my husband in the forests and along the beach exploring all the colors and textures in nature.

What is your favorite thing about birthdays?
Another favorite thing of mine is any celebration, be it birthday, anniversary or just because. I love being with friends and family and eating good food -and of course eating the cake that no celebration would be without!

Thanks Sarah! I love all the journals and tags in her shop, and YOU could be the lucky winner of the following items from 2BeePress:

A Deer with Antlers Moleskine journal and four of each of the following gift tags (for a total of 12): 4 Santa Hat, 4 Pine Tree and 4 Santa's Reindeer.

Giveaway from PoppyDreamz

Hey All! Thanks for stopping by today for the kickoff of my blog's one year anniversary celebration! This week I have several great giveaways for you and a few awesome guest posts as well!

So let's get started! The first awesome shop on the list is...

So Gabi...Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I have been married to a wonderful man for nearly 20 years. We have two great kids, a girl and a boy who are also both very creative. We recently moved to a small town and are loving the small-town atmosphere. I love to create! I enjoy painting, sewing, beading, creating mixed media art, and designing on my computer, just for starters!

When did you start scrapbooking?
I’ve always loved playing with paper. From doodling and drawing to cutting and pasting, it just fits in with the whole scrapbooking concept. There have been times when I haven’t been able to find exactly what I wanted in paper design, so I started making my own. Then, when I was telling a friend of mine about my etsy shop (which has only been moderately successful with some of my other creations), she suggested I sell my scrapbook designs on etsy. So, I recently revamped my shop to concentrate on digital products. I’ve listed some of my favorites and have come up with some new designs. Plus I’m getting into cards and invitations as well!

What is your favorite thing in your shop?
Right now (although it changes regularly), my favorite is this…

I saw this beautiful scarf on etsy the other day and got inspired by the gorgeous floral pattern. I put my kids to bed and jumped on my computer. I just really love how it turned out!
What is your favorite way to spend a weekend?
My kids are very active in their sports, and I love to spend the weekends watching their games! I know they will grow up quickly and our time with them is limited so I go to everything I can to watch and support them. Sometimes, I feel I need a weekend for my weekend we get so busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

What's your favorite thing about birthdays?
We go out to eat dinner as a family. Whoever’s birthday it is gets to pick the restaurant. We don’t eat out very often, so it’s always a treat!

Thanks Gabi! Aren't all her digital scrapbook designs awesome?! And now, one lucky person will win a $15 store credit to PoppyDreamz!
