CLOSED-1,000,000 Hits Giveaway!!!!

*****Giveaway closed. No longer accepting entries*******

At the moment I write this, it says 980,380.  I average around 23,000 -40,000 hits per month (closer to 25,000 during the summer).  So I expect to hit that lovely magical number 1,000,000 in late July or early August.

Oh my!  I've been planning this giveaway for a while now, because I wanted it to be special.  I want it to be a thank you to both my followers and to some of the companies who make or sell the wonderful craft and art supplies I use regularly.

Before I go further-I'm truly sorry.  This giveaway is U.S. only. I can mail this prize package for under $20 in the U.S.  It would be almost $60 to send it to Canada, and I'm afraid to even check what it would cost to send elsewhere in the world.

What am I giving away?  
Many things--some I've purchased, but others were given to me for review (noted in the descriptions).

Vintage FAF Journal- You can read my review here.  This is the only product in my giveaway that is used (given courtesy of Exclair).  10 pages were used for my review, and the packaging is a little dinged.  But the metal (made in the workshop of Eiffel Tower fame) structure of this notepad is AWESOME, so I decided it was too wonderful, not to be included!

Eccolo Lined Pocket Journals-Three 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 journals.  Honestly, I don't know anymore about these.  I thought the covers were beautiful, but I haven't opened the elastic to examine the paper, and there is no info on the outside.

Assortment of rubber stamps-Blockheads Paper Arts company is closing its doors.  They had some fantastic grab bags of rubber stamps, so I grabbed one for you. Not sure what the images are, but the grab bag I kept for myself had some beauties, so I'm sure this one will as well!
