    ReplyDelete
  121. Great giveaway! I have also left a comment on Laurie's blog. I always went to the purple crayon first so that would be my choice. Patty

    ReplyDelete
  122. Hi Jennifer!

    Thanks for the opportunity to join in on this generous give-away! Laurie's work is exquisite and I certainly would love to be on the REceiving end of any of her gorgeous items.

    I'd have to say that I would be the color YELLOW, the color of light. It is one of the most difficult colors to master because of its saturation qualities and yet, when the perfect shade is obtained it shouts out "Look at ME--Look at ME". Just a little pop of yellow brings a sense of happiness and warmth in an otherwise drab environment--the same way a ray of sunshine does on a dreary, cloudy day. YELLOW is my favorite color and without it in my crayon box, I would be so sad....

    Thanks again! Have a wonderful week!

    ReplyDelete
  123. Such talent! I have adored your style for so long. You just keep getting better. Love the burlap too! I am picturing a tree skirt like that under my tree. Love all of Laurie things!

  147. I would LOVE to win this amazing giveaway to Laurie's shop. Thanks for the chance Jen! Congrats on the article-it is beautiful. As for the crayon color, I'd be the metallic gold (found in the 64 box much to my amazement as a kid) because it takes all of the other colors and makes them just a little more special! A lofty goal, but good I think. :-)

    Have a great day,
    Judy

  162. ...how could I forget the extra credit question!! I would choose the purple crayon because I am a child of God, a chosen one, a princess of the King! My sister Bev is THE crayola lover in our family. She even presented a devo to her Bible class on this subject!

  169. If I could be any color in a crayon box, it would have to be magenta. Red is my favorite color, and magenta sounds like your red but your wearing a crown :)

  182. WOW, so many neat ideas. I love the natural look. I have used burlap around my home for years. If I could be any color...probably something neutral like black or white. No matter what you pair with it, it looks great!

  183. Love the quiet neutral look for Christmas, even though I love the bright reds of the holiday, it is so pretty to see a different take on the decor. The burlaps are beautiful. Thanks for the generous chance to win a gift. Merry Christmas!...and my color would be blue, because it is my favorite...:-)
