Teacher Gifts & My First Giveaway


The excitement I had (notice past tense here) earlier in anticipation of sharing photos of the beautiful card sets I created as teacher gifts waned as the morning wore on.  It's been that type of morning.

First, I get Meg to school only to discover that we totally forgot to bring in the above said gifts. *SIGH*  I'm only home a few minutes before my cat decides it's time to do some projectile vomiting ALL over the house.  *MAJOR CUSSING* (I'm about ready to donate him to Catherine's infamous wall of DDTs.)   In the midst of my gagging I received a call from Meg asking if I'd ordered her a yearbook.  Well, I thought I did.  They're saying I didn't.  *SIGH #2* So off I go to the school with teacher gifts and yearbook cash in hand.

I eventually was able to sit down and view the card photos I took the other day only to find out that they are horrible.  *SIGH #3*  Our house is a cave, I swear.  There is absolutely no good spot for photos.  I'm frustrated beyond belief right now so I'm just going to show you what I have and call it a day.

I created seven sets of 4 bar cards, one design per set.  It was my intention to give each teacher a different set of cards.  In the end I decided to mix it up creating each set using one card from each design.

Design 1




Design 2




Design 3




Design 4




Design 5 (All made with same colors)




Design 6 (Assorted silver foil)




And Design 7 (Assorted Gold Foil)









Six teachers and seven card sets means I have one extra set.  Since my morning was so horribly lousy I thought it would be nice to make someone else's a bit brighter.   I'm going to give away the extra set below (one card each of all seven designs) to one lucky reader.





I know from emails and private messages that I have far more readers than comments but to have a chance at winning, I need you to leave me a comment on this post.  With the help of random.org, I'll announce the winner on Wednesday, June 3rd.  (You have until then to "enter".)
