Sneaky Peek and a Giveaway!
June 28th, 2012 | Posted by in Give AwaysFor once, I am ahead of the game this week. It feels good to be caught up. And to celebrate being caught up… I thought we should have a giveaway!
I have a new collection coming out this week that is bold, bright, dark and a little moody. Kind of an emotional girl, you might say:
Would you like a chance to win it? Then leave me a comment here on the blog by Friday, June 29th before 11:59 PM (EST) with an answer to the following question:
What’s the last nice thing that you said to yourself?
You see, I made this kit with painterly, artsy vibe because I was actually in the process of making a page in my art journal Smash book about being “enough.” I need to remind myself that I do enough—that I don’t have to let negative voices of doubt and comparison sneak in. I can tell myself “You have done enough. You have worked hard enough. You can rest. You are a good momma, a good wife. Take it easy, girl!”
So, tell me! What nice thing have you said to yourself lately? And if you can’t think of one, say something nice to yourself right now and then enter to win. 
You can increase your chances of winning by posting about this giveaway via Twitter, Facebook or on your blog! Be sure to come back here and post your link in the comments section (be sure to make a new post for each entry—each new post you make is another chance to win!).
The winner will be announced just after midnight here on Saturday, June 30th.
Best of luck to you!

Just tonight I told myself what an awesome scrapbook page I had created.
Looove the sneak preview!!!
Last nice thing I said to myself? How proud I was of speaking up in a heated discussion at work instead of telling myself my opinion didn’t matter… It’s the small things that make you feel awesome!
I told myself that I have been a good girl and can have that bowl of orange sherbert ice cream.
Looks like an awesome kit Nicole!! Last nice thing I said to myself was time to go down another size in my jeans! Thanks for the chance to win!
The last nice thing I said to myself was “You worked hard today, good job” because I did!
The last nice thing I said to myself is how proud I am for sticking with something that has been really hard for me to learn.
This looks adorable! I told myself what an awesome house painter I am!
Last nice thing I said to myself was way to go on maintaining my weight loss…which has been a huge struggle for me. Lovely looking kit, which I would love to win! Thanks for the chance:)
i will finish three cards tonight
Nice peak and thanks for the chance to win!
Looks awesome, Nicole! And I love this post — it’s so easy to be critical of ourselves rather than kind! I celebrated a tough week traveling for work with a pat on the back and a Sprinkles cupcake… Does that count?!?
I told myself I could take a day off!
Thanks for the chance to win one of your awesome kits!
Well, after thinking there was no way I could ever accomplish a certain task, I told myself, “You can do this.” Does that count?
Looks gorgeous!! I congratulated myself just tonight when I realized I’ve been successful so far on stopping biting my nails! They’re just about long enough that they’re starting to irritate me lol. I’ll have to trim them some tomorrow, then I think they’re ready for polish!! Thanks for the chance to win!
I said, “Sam, you are smart. Give yourself some kudos and stop selling yourself short.”
Looks awesome, those colors and that little girl, tooo cute, thx for the chance
I’m generally not too hard on myself … but the last nice thing I said to myself was that I’ve been doing a great job making home made meals since summer started.
I did a really awesome job on my layout yesterday and managed to make some bookmarks with tassels today! It’s nice having some creative time to myself!
“You’re AWESOME!!” – as today I weighed in 50 pounds less than I did 6 months ago!! Just 25 more to go!!
I told myself that my husband would self destruct if he had my job; I totally rock being an international traveling mom. ; ) Love the colors!
“You’re an awesome mom!”
my little 3yr old son, who is FULL of energy and usually intent of doing what he wants (and not at all what I ask him too!), for the last couple of days has been very sweet and co-operative with me, and so I said to myself “some of the good things you are trying to teach him must be going in – you are doing ok as a mum!”. The kit looks lovely, thanks for the chance to win it!
“You’re doing a wonderful job and you are enough!”
The last good thing I said to myself was about my exam results earlier in the week – at least a C- is a pass even though I had hoped I had done better.
I was quite proud of having a conversation in Italian yesterday after only 3 months of learning the language.
This kit looks scrumptious, thanks for the chance!
I’ve told myself that I am capable and can accomplish whatever I want to. If I’m held back, it’s because of lack of trying.
I told myself I’m a good Mommy!
The last nice thing I said to myself, was just yesterday. I stop drinking Coke after 30yrs and its been a week, I told myself this is a piece of cake and you looking good….LOL face not so puffy!!!
I love your kit so far, love vintage and the colors are awesome!!! Thanks for the chance to win and I also posted on FB …

I congratulated myself for trying something new that intimidated me a bit ( a spin class). Love the peek! Thanks for the chance to win.
I was doing a workout I hadn’t done in a while (Jillian was kicking my rear end) and I was complimenting myself on getting through it. I may not be in the shape I want, but I did it!
The kit looks fun. Thanks for the chance to win!
The last nice thing i said to myself was this morning for sticking to my diet all week.
The last nice thing I said to me was, “I am worth it and deserve to be happy”
Looks super cute, thanks for the chance.
I complimented myself on how my oldest daughter is turning out. She is a Godly woman with integrity. When others notice and ask you how you did it, you know you did a good job.
The last nice thing I said to me was “I’m a good daughter, take care of all things clean and all right when parents are not home for 3 weeks”
I love your designs and thank you for the chance.
The last nice thing I said to myself was, “you ARE a good dad”
I love the preview! The last nice thing I said to myself is that ” I matter”. It is time to put myself first sometimes. My needs and wants matter just as much as everyone elses.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Your kit preview looks awesome! The last nice thing I said to myself is “Wow you made it 8 weeks running the department at work by yourself, it was incredibly challenging but you did it!!!
Love the peek of the new kit! The last nice thing I said to myself is “I have pretty eyes” as I got ready to go shopping this morning!
Thanks for the chance to win!!

I sure can cook!
Thanks for the chance! This kit looks stupendous!!
Super cute peek, Nicole! The last nice thing I said to myself was a pat on the back when I realized that I’ve kept MY room clean for the past month
I was pleased that I have made two new friends, both younger than me, who really value my opinion, I must be keeping up to date!
Love this sneak! The last nice thing I said to myself was congratulating myself on how hard I worked today
Oooh, the colors look divine! Love hot pink and splashes of blue and green! Thanks for the chance!
“Im worth it!”
Thanks for the chance to win!
Oooo … loving the colors and art work Nicole!!!
I just had a visit from my #3 son this past week. He and his twin turn 23 in a couple of weeks and I find that I still get weepy when having to say good-bye to any of my six babes. Thinking it through and asking myself why I still get so weepy, it has turned from my feeling that my single parenting was horribly inadequate to feeling incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to nurture such amazing human beings for, what seems to be, such a very short time! I did good!!!
Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend with your precious family!
I really had to think because I very rarely compliment myself on anything. I tell myself not to be vain and I am very very hard on myself. But I remember thinking to myself that I am very competent at making meals and getting things done in a timely fashion.
I think the last nice thing I said to myself might have been, “Now I deserve a break.” Thanks for the chance to win a beautiful kit!
