12 Days of Giveaways: Giveaway #9

Dec 21, 2010 By Layla

A few years ago I had big plans to start a little home-based business called “Lettered Olive” with my Mom.  Unfortunately, it turned out to be too expensive & time consuming for us both- but I’ve still got a couple of things we had hoped to sell in our online shop lying around the house. One of which is our giveaway item of the day!

It’s a double mat I designed that measures 20″ wide x 28″ tall.  The top mat has some neat little grooves cut into it so the black “core” shows through…

(Because it’s an odd size, it’ll need to be custom framed.)

The opening on the bottom mat is for a 5×7 print, and the quote I chose to have printed on it is one of my all-time favs…

If you’d like to throw your name in the hat for a chance to win it, leave a comment on this post between now and ten o’ clock p.m. tomorrow night. (Wednesday, 12/22/10) (Central Time)

Yesterday’s winner is…


Congratulations Laura! I’ll be emailing you soon to get your mailing address from you.

And congrats to today’s Twivia winner- @JessicaOakes. Today’s question was: In what year did Pottery Barn launch Pottery Barn Kids? Answer: 1999.

Stay merry, jingle boys & belles!

    I love this saying and I love that George Strait has it in a song, when me and my kids listen to it, we get misty-eyed and hug each other…I would love to hang a pic of my little family in it!!!

    I love this beautiful mat – very special, especially the saying at the bottom. I have wonderful children and grandchildren, who are forever taking my breath away. I would love to have this to put a group picture of my very special family in to display in a place of honor in my home! (LOVE your blog…I read it every day!)
