farewell gifts for guys! and a girly giveaway

We loved putting Gifts for Guys together, y'all! For Christmas, our guys will be receiving Gift for Guys bundles, essentially. Hahaha! A quick review of the tutorials all in one place:

Freezer paper stenciled shirt by Craftiness is Not Optional
Tasty almonds and pecans by A Lemon Squeezy Home
No sew bow tie by Olivia Renn
Boxy dopp kit by The Cottage Home
Hanging tent by kojodesigns
Treat jars by I Am Momma, Hear Me Roar
Ipod shuffle armband by Delia Creates
Spice rubs by The Creative Maven
Key hanger by Tiffany at Lemontree Creations
Chocolate dipped chips by Our Hartbeat
Stamped keychain by From an Igloo

While we spend our day counting and pairing Gifts for Guys winners with prizes (we'll announce those asap), we thought we'd remedy the drought of girly goodness with a giveaway of loveliness! Emily from The Boy Trifecta put together this darling purse for Crafting with the Stars. And she's offered to make one of these beauties as a giveaway for one of our readers. Even better- you get to pick your color- brown OR black tweed. I can't tell you how much I love this bag... I think I could pretty much give it to any girl on my list.


To enter this giveaway-
1- Leave a comment. Make sure we have a way to get in touch with you if you win.
2- Follow the kojodesigns blog and leave a comment saying so (if you already follow, leave a comment saying that).
3- Follow The Boy Trifecta and leave a comment saying so.

Also, Emily is offering y'all a 20% discount for her etsy shop with the code 'kojodesigns.' Take advantage, y'all!

EDITED TO ADD- THIS GIVEAWAY WILL CLOSE DECEMBER 3 AT MIDNIGHT. I'LL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER DECEMBER 4th!

  111. Love the bag. I'm new to both blogs just stumbled upon them this afternoon while I tried to look busy at work. I'll be back for more though.

    ReplyDelete
  112. This is the first blog I've bothered to figure out how to "FOLLOW!" I've been reading regularly for some time and enjoy the ideas, but oh, that bag! It's enough to make me do all sorts of crazy things. Without exaggerating, I've been scheming about how to recreate it since I first saw it on CWTS, and my final conclusion has inevitably been that my bag-sewing skills aren't up to par. Sometimes the original is just too good to recreate! I would be just ecstatic if I won this, and I'd love it forever and ever and ever amen! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  113. Wowza, am I the first to comment?? Crazy! I love love all of your ideas for Gifts for Guys! I have three kiddos...two girls (5 and 2) and my one little guy (1). I've been having a time trying to figure out what to do for him for Christmas...but not anymore!!:) Thanks a bunch! And thanks for the giveaway!!!
