New Year’s Giveaway from Smashed Peas and Carrots

| Filed Under: Giveaways

Happy New Year, friends!  I hope everyone had a great first day of the year yesterday. We spent a huge part of our day organizing and getting rid of excess.  And boy, did that feel good!  I think we had 3 garbage bags full after just re-organizing the kitchen and bathrooms.  Today I have a carload of stuff I need to take over to Goodwill, anyone else doing a little drop off today?

If you follow me on Facebook, you know I was planning on doing a huge giveaway of goodies from my studio this week.  Well.  Today is the day!  Are you as pumped as I am?  Woooot, this is so fun!
Shall we talk about the giveaway a bit then?
Of course, I have to start by giving you a sweet selection of some of my favorite pretties.  
Heather Bailey anyone? 🙂 
I figured if I love her stuff so much, there is a chance you probably do too. So the giveaway will include a few random yards of her fabulous fabric along with some other lovelies you may have seen on my shelves from this post here!
Y’all know I am a Flea Market addict and I just love my vintage trims.  Well, my stash box is getting full and what is my overabundance is your luck!  Does that sound weird? I think I just prefer saying that over ‘my trash is your treasure’ as this is definitely the furthest thing from trash in my opinion!

In my organizing craze that started with the New Year I decided to head over to Ikea for a wee bit and wouldn’t ya know, I may have picked up a thing or two for one of you lucky peeps too!  

I found these uber cute baking cups when I was there, aren’t they adorable?!  There are a bunch of sizes and they would be cute for baking as well as fun little bento lunches for your kids (or who am I kidding, yourself!)  I also am giving away some pretty red washi tape in 4 different designs…red just might be a theme here, haha!

And I picked up some of my favorite supply boxes while at Ikea…I LOVE these things!  These are the pretty white shoe box sized ones, perfect for charm packs, fat quarters, scraps, notions…or I suppose CD’s too, as that is what Ikea tells me they are supposed to be for 😉
Along with all of the above, I will also throw in a few other goodies just because I love y’all so much!  Really and truly, this is the perfect way for me to be able to say Thank You for all of the support you give to me all year long.  Not sure there is a better way for me to do that as y’all live all over the world!  Oh, that being said, this giveaway is open to EVERYONE!  As long as the post office can get it to you, I will send it, hooray!
Okay, so how do you win this sweet, sweet giveaway you might be asking.  It’s sooo easy!
Just tell me your favorite thing about my blog. What keeps ya coming back?  Recipes?  Sewing tutes?  The DIY?  Maybe it’s the 4 child insanity I live with everyday, heck whatever it is just let me know!
For additional entries (you can post one comment for each extra entry for up to 7 entries total!)
1. Follow Smashed Peas and Carrots via Google Friend Connect, RSS feed, or email
2. Come on over to the dark side and follow me on Facebook, here. 
3. Are you an Instagram-er?  Follow me here for all things photo-wise of Smashed Peas and Carrots. 
4. Follow me on Pinterest, here, you know you want to see my pins! 😉
5. Follow me on Twitter, here. Tweet much, anyone?
6. If you share this post on your facebook page, pin it on pinterest, tweet it, or instagram it you can have another entry too, yay you! And thank you!!
I’ll keep this giveaway open for one week.
Giveaway ends Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at midnight!
Good Luck friends!

 XOXO,

    I’m the first! Probably extremely unlikely to win:( If pushed, I would say your recipes and sewing tutorials are my favorite, but I love everything!

    Happy New Year!

  5. Marissa Sobaskie says

    Your blog is super CUTE! I don’t think I would be constitutionally capable of unsubscribing to your blog while looking at your cute peas and carrots header. 🙂 I also love cheap crafts and easy recipes!

  39. Kari says

    There are so many reasons I keep coming back, recipes, DIY inspirations, and of course pics of your cute kiddos!

  43. Stacey says

    I like the tutorials and just seeing things you’ve made! I used your blog to make a Luigi costume for my son this past Halloween! Thank you!

  64. jessica says

    With our first baby on the way, my favorite thing about SP&C are the girl’s clothes tutorials and the fun crafts. Love seeing all your ideas. 🙂

  77. VR says

    I love your blog, the way you write, your children and how real and creative you are! It gives me ideas with the tutorials and it’s upbeat and casual! Thank you for sharing your life and your creativity, it is inspiring and uplifting!

  82. VR says

    I follow you on pinterest. I’m never sure what my user name is, but it’s either Veronica Kenney or sign in name is verokenney.

  84. Amanda says

    I found you on Facebook this morning and am having a great time looking at your tutorials. So much cute stuff! I can’t wait to try some of them out! 🙂

  107. groovyonetoo says

    I love your blog because you sound like a positive, happy friend. With your recipes that are healthier, I don’t feel like you’re forcing me to change how I eat. With your kids, you seem like the Mom I try to be (but fail miserably!) and those kiddos are just so cute! And your sewing inspires me to think about sewing, and sometimes even do just a tiny bit. I’m drooling over those trims, too. You’re just a very happy place for me to visit and I appreciate knowing there’s a place like that out there. Thanks for all you do! Happy New Years!

  111. Joy says

    There isn’t just one reason I keep coming back. It’s the balance between all things family and crafty that I love.

  119. Janice W says

    Love your tutorials! I follow on Facebook, pintrest and Twitter. I would be honored to win!

  129. Shannon Hawley says

    I follow your blog because its real. You tell it like it is. Its fun to watch your four monkeys grow, learn and express them selves. You have really cute project ideas with the kids and since I am a mom on a budjet (who isn’t??) I can do these with my little bird. I have done a few of your food things and lets face it, healthy is way better then a pound of sugar i get from other blogs!!!

  130. Carly says

    Hello! Happy new year to you too! I think I like everything about your blog! Especially the name! So cute! As a new mom I like your recipes the best!

  139. Verbenabeth says

    I just adore your whole blog! Honestly, there’s so much that I like that I can’t pick just one. Craftiness is where I gravitate the most I guess. Thanks for the chance to win your wonderful giveaway. Happy New Year!

    I love the pics that you take of your kids! They are the sweetest ever, and you capture them so well. Your photography is wonderful, and I wish I had photos like these of my kids (when they were young…..they’re in their 30’s and 40’s now!). Thanks for the chance at these fun goodies!

  172. Sherry says

    I’d say it’s a little of everything. I’m assuming I found you originally through Etsy and seeing one of your dresses which led me to your blog???? Now I love seeing the different things you’re doing (Love the comic book fabric organizer idea). Blew through that 100 pack in nothing flat :). Thanks for the tips and pics! Happy New Year!

    I keep coming back bc I love your style! I get especially excited over sewing tutes. I also have a daughter the same age as Eloise so I love watching them grow up “together” 😉

  240. Nikki says

    I love seeing all your fun posts, from recipes, to crafty projects you do with your kids, to your pretty fabric posts!! Thanks for sharing all the fun stuff in your life!

  252. MaryB says

    What a great giveaway! At first it was the recipes that kept me coming back but more and more it is the tutorials and the crafts.

  305. lynaeve says

    I love this giveaway. I am always searching and searching for these kinds of trims and I haven’t found any yet. The only way I got some was from random luck because my mother in law gave her a bunch of sewing stuff to give me. I didn’t even tell her I was looking for those and I was sooo happy to see them. It was my birthday that day too. Anyway, i love your blog for the sewing tutes.

  313. Janina Postma says

    I just enjoy your blog in general…tuts and recipes …your youthful enthusiasm ! Thank you for the opportunity to win such a great package of stuff!

  322. Veroni says

    The thing that always Brings me back is the fact that your so Caring and Make sewing fun,your a great Blogger!Thank you soo much for the sewing Tutorials.And Thank you sooo much for the chance to win!!!

  345. Stephanie says

    I love everything about your blog!! Your sewing and crafts are so cute and you actually make me believe I can recreate some of your creations 😉 Your recipes are yum-o (we love the crockpot salsa chicken one) and your kids are little bundles of adorable!!

  349. Tina says

    I love your blog for your sewing tutorials. I never knew how to sew on bias tape until I stumbled across your blog. True story…and it was AFTER I sewed enough cloth diapers for two babies up to and through toilet training!

  369. Melanna says

    I first found your blog while looking for a pattern for a fun dress for my daughter (the cross over pinafore).I loved it and then searched your site for more. I love your patterns the most, but I always enjoy reading about other moms who have a life similar to the crazy one I live!

  375. Nicole says

    I love everything on your blog but my favorite is the sewing tutorials. I hope to have a sewing room like you one day 🙂

  383. Tammy says

    I pretty much love everything about your blog! I love peeking into your life with 4 kiddos, I love your creativity, I love the tutorials and recipes! I think it’s all great! Thanks for doing it!!

  433. RaisingCropsAndBabies says

    I LOVE your sewing tutorials. I also have 4 children, 5 and under (5,4,2-1/2, and 1 yrs old) and it’s wonderful to have encouragement from other mamas of many young ones, who take time to sew and do diy stuff! Sometimes I feel alone in that obsession. 🙂

    I wish I was on facebook or twitter to get extra entries, but I had to give those extras up for more time to homeschool the oldest. Maybe someday!

    Hope I win!!!

  434. aubrei says

    What a wonderful giveaway! My favorite thing about your blog is the way you write everything. Especially the tutorials which can at times be hard to understand. However yours are always clear and easy to understand. Your recipes are great and you give me a kick in the butt because if you can do it with 4 then I should certainly be able to be crafty with just 2 🙂

  448. The Nat Nat says

    I love to read your posts because of your writing voice. You sound like such a real, genuine person, and I like hearing about your crafts and family.

  449. Terry Kessinger says

    What I love most about your blog is that it’s balanced. You don’t do just one thing (what woman does??) I, too, love to cook, sew, craft, and my family, of course. Thank you for your variety, transparency, talent & gifting, and your generosity!! I do follow you via Google.

  455. Abbie Johnson says

    I read your blog to see your cuties(I have a Noah too-he’s 9) and be inspired. I have 3 kiddos and feel like I”m running in circles all the time. You have 4 and get so much done! I love the tutorials too

  458. Janice says

    I just discovered your blog today through Lion Brand Yarn’s Facebook page! They posted the tutorial for your Chunky Knit Cowl, which I pinned to my Knitting board for future use. After poking around a bit, I think I have a new favorite blog!

  459. Mrs.T says

    Probably my very favorite is the sewing tutorials. I can’t even tell you how many felt pie slices (in not only pumpkin, but lemon, chocolate and even cheesecake!) and felt cinnamon rolls I have made. My grandkids love ’em. But you have great recipes too, and I always love the photos of your adorable kids.

    And what a great giveaway you are doing! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  461. Brantley Kirk says

    Since I just got a sewing machine for Christmas I decided to come back to your blog for the sewing tutorials so I can make cute outfits for my baby girl who is not so much a baby anymore. I was getting the tutorials from your blog and giving them to my grandmother but she would not do anything with them and got tired of me I guess since she bought me the sewing machine. Now it is time to get started and some lovely fabric would help a lot!

  465. veronica says

    I love your recipes, but mostly your sewing adventures. I am cleaning out my stash, so it would be great to win yours for some new inspiration. Thanks for a chance to win.

  473. Brantley Kirk says

    Subscribed to your blog via email. I thought I already had but realized I was not getting any emails.

  474. Mrs. Fernandes says

    Your logo caught my attention on Pinterest once and then I started finiding all of your great ideas! Perfect for at home and in my classroom. Thanks for what Ive found and in advance for what I’m sure to find tomorrow! (fingers crossed that I win!!!) Happy New Year.

  475. Mrs. Fernandes says

    I also follow you on facebook and shared this posting and I started following some of your boards on Pinterest. (I think I did this right!)

  477. Avery's Mama says

    I read your blog because I am amazed you have time to be so creative with house full of children. I have 2 and can’t seem to find time to do anything creative or clean!

  481. mamafrog says

    Actually I just like everything about your blog, and the fact that I can get it in my email makes it a big plus (what can I say, I’m lazy). But also the fact that you know what it’s like with four kids, that’s what I went through!

  482. Anonymous says

    You’re blog keeps me coming back because your cheerful, thankful, creative personality just shines thru in each post! Love it!!! Kel Lmessimer(at)aol(dot)com

  489. Good Hearted Lyon says

    I love you because you make it all seem so easy. I love your crafts, and your sewing (i’m less than 1 year in on my sewing machine), but now that I am pregnant with baby #1 (!!!!!) I can’t wait to take some motherly advice and figure out how to continue crafting and creating. Thank you for being here.

  519. Mel says

    and I shared it on FB. But I have NO idea how to show it to you…. *sigh* but my user name over there is Melle Eldridge. And I *like* you so you should be able to find it!

  523. Hailey says

    My favorite thing is seeing all your tutorials – seeing all the fun things you do with the fabulous fabric {your stash is to die for}. And seeing your motivation to stay crafty and creative with your 4 littles does wonders for mine {motivation}.

    your blog rocks my face off!

  525. Jenn says

    I come for a bit of everything-we’re expecting our fourth kiddo this summer, so I like to see the crazy! 🙂

  527. Jo McDougal says

    I think I keep coming back as the name of the blog and header make me smile each time!
    Then I guess it’s because you always seem to have such a positive life and I love the tutorials and info you give. I have three children and don’t feel my life is nearly as organised as yours with four. I live in hope…!
    Have a happy and healthy new year and please keep posting. Thanks for the competition.

      Sorry, didn’t realise I had done it twice! Apologies and please remove one of them!
      Thanks

    Just love the fabrics. The designs are so interesting and so appropriate for children. Their designs really fasinate me.

  550. Heather says

    Well I just saw your blog with the pattern for the infinity scarf and I loved it and started knitting it. Of course mine is quite different but using the same pattern.

  582. Jen says

    I love your blog! I think my favorite things are probably the tutorials, as I am learning how to sew and craft.

  586. Annie says

    Love the sewing tutorials – just in the middle of making your Vintage Tie Apron, though I’m making it with a stack of extra front pieces for my just-learning-to-feed-herself grand-daughter. As a UK grandma with a US grand-daughter I love that you help keep me in touch with current baby fashions 🙂
