The program runs until September 15th.

“With BIC Bucks for Teachers, our presence in the classroom goes beyond our products,” said Janel Lewis, Director, Stationery Marketing for BIC USA Inc. “Teachers play such an influential role in students’ lives, so this program allows BIC and our customers the opportunity to give back and make an impact in the lives of teachers, classrooms and students.”

Spring Print Giveaway!

Spring Print Giveaway Spring Print GiveawayI’m *so* excited for today’s spring print giveaway, friends! A few months ago, I introduced you to Elizabeth and her amazing shop Cherry Laurel Studio! The design and letterpress studio features greeting cards, prints and gifts — everything from birthdays to graduations to parenthood to sympathy to even thank-yous. I love that everything is printed by hand in Georgia!

Today, Elizabeth is giving this pretty spring print to one lucky reader! The print features a wonderful quote from Audrey Hepburn (“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow“), in both script and hand-styled type, and the quote is surrounded by a mix of ferns and other plants. Plus, I love how the green paper just screams spring, don’t you?

As Elizabeth says of the print: “Audrey Hepburn and gardening are a perfect match—and this print, a quote of hers framed by ferns and botanika, is perfect for gardening season or those times when we are simply wistfully thinking and dreaming of spring.”

We’ll be using Gleam this time around for entering. For your chance to win, simply visit Cherry Laurel Studio, and leave a comment below telling us where you’d display this pretty print. See above for LOTS of extra chances to win. A winner will be chosen at random on Wednesday, May 30th, so you’ve got two weeks to enter. Have fun, friends! xoxo

BIC Office Supplies Giveaway!

Office Supplies Giveaway Office Supplies Giveaway Office Supplies GiveawayIf you’ve been reading So About What I Said for a few years now, you’ll know that I host an annual BIC office supplies giveaway around this time! Since 2012, I’ve partnered with the amazing people at BIC, which covers all your writing needs — everything from pens to pencils to highlighters to colorful erasers — and their entire product line is pretty spectacular!

BIC is also on a mission to celebrate handwriting, which, thanks to the wonders of technology, has fallen by the wayside over the years. I love the company’s Handwriting Hub — a place full of activities and writing tips! Did you know that handwriting engages abilities such as visual focusing, receptive language, memory recall and spacial perception?

As a writer, you can probably guess just how much I love all their products! And their Back-To-School 2017 collection doesn’t disappoint!

OK! On to the actual giveaway! Today, BIC is giving one lucky reader a prize pack of awesome office goodies! Here’s what you’ll win…

BIC’s Back-To-School 2017 Line Up:

• Gel-ocity Quick Dry: Comfortable full-grip barrel that comes in vibrant, fun colors. Also, provides a super-smooth writing experience!

• Intensity Fineliner: The perfect pens for writing, doodling, drafting and even adult coloring! The vibrant colors and bold, crisp writing won’t bleed through paper.

• Velocity Max Pencils: The soft gel grip molds to your hand for the smoothest, darkest writing. Includes extra lead and erasers.

Whether you’re heading back to the classroom this fall or need to restock your office supplies for work, BIC surely has something for everyone!

One Night Book Giveaway!

One Night Book Giveaway One Night Book GiveawayI’m SO excited, friends! When I interviewed Deanna Cabinian last week, I dropped the little teaser that something special was coming up….and IT’S HERE!!! I’m so glad she was game for doing a One Night book giveaway today!!

Deanna is a writer and marketing director from the Chicago suburbs and One Night is her debut novel! The YA read has all the ingredients of the perfect coming-of-age story — a young, heartbroken protagonist, a Hawaiian backdrop and an Elvis impersonator. Deanna even wrote some awesome book-related blog posts, like who she thinks would play the main characters in a movie, the soundtrack for the book and a ‘what-if’ interview between her and Thompson, the young protagonist.

Today, Deanna is giving one lucky reader a copy of One Night, which would make the perfect summer beach read! I mean, the setting alone just screams summer, don’t you think? And maybe some Elvis tunes playing in the background?? Oh, I can feel that relaxation already!
One Night Book Giveaway!
We’ll be using Gleam this time around for entering. For your chance to win, simply visit Deanna’s official Web site, and leave a comment below telling us where you’d wear this pretty piece. See above for LOTS of extra chances to win. A winner will be chosen at random on Wednesday, May 17th, so you’ve got two weeks to enter. Have fun, friends! xoxo

Garnet Gemstone Pendant Giveaway!

Garnet Gemstone Pendant Giveaway Garnet Gemstone Pendant Giveaway Garnet Gemstone Pendant GiveawayToday’s giveaway is from Elemental Soul Jewellery, the beautiful Australia-based Etsy shop full of handmade, eco-friendly pieces — think earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. Designer Eve, who runs the shop along with her husband, had always dreamed of running her own business and really found her stride when she started making jewelry.

“We are a husband and wife team working from our studio in the beautiful Channel area in southern Tasmania, Australia,” she says. “We aim to bring you beautiful handmade jewellery and original designs, made from quality materials at an affordable price.”

She’s giving this garnet gemstone pendant to one lucky reader! This beautiful solid 925 sterling silver cage pendant features a natural rhodolite garnet gemstone, suspended from a lovely 20″inch cable chain and diamond-shaped bail. And, do you know the meaning behind the rhodolite garnet gemstone? It’s said to bring about inspiration and promote emotional healing, encourage love, kindness and compassion and promote self-worth and spiritual growth. Wouldn’t this be the perfect casual piece for the spring?
