Moleskine giveaway.

You have all heard about my love for Moleskines and apparently the word spread!
...some weeks ago I was contacted by the web department of cronicle books and they asked me if I would like to host a Moleskine giveaway on my blog!

Of course I said yes!
Last week I got a package, all the way from San Francisco, filled with lovley moleskines. Can you belive it?
So now you got the chance to lay your hands on either a "desk calendar 2010" or an amazing "colour a month daily planner in 12 notebooks". I´ve got two of each so there will be 4 winners.
I will spice it up by also adding one of my newly arrived cuttingboards/potholders (to keep hot pans on) in each package, the winners can choose the pattern they prefer from the 9 different ones I got.
------------
So, all you have to do to get a shot at winning is to leave a comment on this post, I would love it if you told me what you like to read about here, what would make you come back/makes you come back?
If you also link to this post on your own blog you will get another shot at winning.
So, a total of 2 chances to win! The lottery is open for anyone from any part of the world!

I will draw 4 winners next sunday (the 6:th) at midnight. First 2 gets the desk calendar+potholder, last 2 gets the daily planners+potholder. The winners will be choosed randomly by a random number service and announced here on next monday, the 7:th of december.

Spread the word, and good luck:)
--------
Now, go and check out chroniclebooks.com, (webshop is only open within the U.S)
It´s also possible to follow Cronichal Books on twitter

    Åh, fina saker må jag säga! En sådan där skärbräda skulle en ju inte gråta av att få ^.^

    Jag älskar att se vad du gör, de mönster du skapar och diy-projekt. Jag vill alltid ha massor av bilder!

    Moleskines are such a wonderful indulgence — I'd love to win!
    One of the things I enjoy about your blog is that you show us little moments of your day. Call me a voyeur, but that's very interesting to me! I also like the tutorials you posted recently.
    (I've just mentioned your giveaway on my blog!)

    The planner set is a great idea :)

    I just started reading your blog last week (hooked!), it took me a few minutes to figure out that the "potholders" are a base for flowerpots to sit on, not an object that morphs into fabric for holding pans. Oops.

    Anyway, they look great!

    Hej! Jag skulle gärna äga en av dina fina skärbrädor/underlägg i monokromt svartvitt, och en Moleskine skulle va fint, jag använder jämt skissböcker. jag gillar din blog för du lyckas blanda det personliga med fin design och foton med mycket självdistans och humor.

    Cecilia! I love how you took the passion you felt for Moleskine products & put it into action with your blog. It's a sweet site! I adore Moleskines, too! I've made 44 culinary or gastronomic journals from the plain brown notebooks, some with the quadrille, others with just the creamy ivory blank pages! Moleskine has provided me with an outlet for my inner chef! Tack så mycket! From a Swedish-American girl (ancestors emigrated from Skåne around 1900!) Linda (Twitter name: aurorakangaspuu! :D

    Hej Cecilia!
    Long time no see! Vi gick ihop ett tag på gamla kf om du minns. Iaf ska jag snart (början av nästa år) lansera mig som tecknare/illustratör med egen hemsida. Till den vill jag länka andra kreativa människors sidor, bloggar mm. Är du intresserad av att va med? Meddela på min fb-sida. Som du förstår behöver man en kalender om man ska driva företag;)

    I really like Moleskine as well. Today it rained like crazy here and my planner was soaking wet when I came back from uni... It makes me sad :( I got the school year one because the last I had was not paperback and I didn't like it, so I got the hard one. Now I have to 1) live with it 2) buy a new one in January 3) Cry. I think I'll cry, and probably get a new planner! All my notes, lists and stuff can't be read anymore...

    I've browsed almost all of your recent posts and what I liked most was the fact that your site is a photo blog. You don't just tell us about your experiences, you let us see what's happening... and on top of that, I love the pictures of your drawings and your kids. Are they twins too? :)
