JORD watches | a giveaway

I recently posted this photo on Instagram:



It's filled with my very favorite things right now...

...and this is my favorite of the bunch...


...my wood watch from JORD.

Last Christmas I bought one of these watches (the Fieldcrest Dark Sandalwood) for my husband. He is a woodworker AND a watch-collector, so I thought it would be the perfect gift...and it was! He loved it and he gets a ton of compliments on it.


So when JORD contacted me to see if I'd be interested in receiving a watch for myself I was like...ummm, let me think about that...YES!!!

And I must say - I love love LOVE my new watch...the Red Sandalwood from the Ely Collection.


It really is such cool watch...such a unique watch...I love having it on my wrist. And it goes with everything - dressy or casual!

There are a TON of choices at JORD - men's, women's & unisex watches - and they are all gorgeous. The one I chose is my favorite, but here are some others I adore:

Cora | Zebrawood & Turquoise

Frankie | Zebrawood & Champagne

Sully | Dark Sandalwood & Maple
Seriously...aren't those gorgeous?!

Now, how would you like to win $75 toward the purchase of your very own JORD watch? 

What?! I know!

So cool right?

Wouldn't one of these watches make the PERFECT Father's Day gift?

what inspires you? a Studio Calico blog hop...PLUS a HUGE GIVEAWAY!

Autumn is my very favorite season...

After months filled with swimming pools, crazy kids in and out of the house all day, hot days, humid evenings, and weeks filled with one thing or another I look forward to the fall...

...opening every window in the house and letting the cool breezes air out a home closed up and air-conditioned for most of the summer...

...warm sweaters, knit hats & comfy socks...

...comfort food and family dinners that don't need to be rushed...

...and all of the beautiful & brilliant colors of nature.

Even though the earth (in our hemisphere) is shutting down and preparing itself to hibernate, there is such amazing inspiration to be found at this time of year.

I am so inspired by the smells of spice & cinnamon, the crunching of leaves, the yellows & browns & oranges and the early onset of darkness (more time to create!).

And I'm ALWAYS inspired by Studio Calico. The kits, the digital items, the galleries, the members on the message boards...they all come together to make for one crazy inspiration-filled place to hang out.

The current kits, The Underground, are some of the best SC has ever put together...and they are filled with products that make me want to drop everything and make stuff.

SC has recently started adding screens (with which to make screenprints) to their kits. "What's this?" you ask "A screen?" Yep. And they are awesome...let me show you.

 photo oct_sbmain_5_zps06d3e0e0.jpg


This "make magic" screen (from Hello Forever) comes in the October Main Scrapbook Kit...

I LOVE this sentiment. It inspires me to go out and live...to create the life I want for my family...to make magic for us...

And now, to celebrate all of the inspiration that can be found during this beautiful season, Studio Calico wants to know what inspires YOU!

OK...so here's how the giveaway will work...(there are 2 parts...)

Prizes first:

Prizes for the giveaway will be determined by how many times the hashtag #scinspires is shared...here's a short list of prizes so you can get idea of how this goes:


...and that list will GROW & GROW & GROW as the number of shares increases! What?!?!?! ACK! so cool...

Now...how do you enter this crazy-awesome giveaway?

Easy peasy.

All you have to do is download this printable from the Studio Calico shop...that's it. No strings. Just download. And you're entered.

Winners will be chosen from all of the people who download the printable. I know...sounds too easy, right? You get the printable PLUS you're entered to win? I'm telling you...that's all you need to do.

(Just click the image below and you will be taken to the download page on the SC website).

WAIT!!! Don't go yet! There's one more thing!

The Phone Photography Project at Big Picture Classes...I have a seat up for grabs!

What better way to start a new week than to have a new giveaway???

No better way.

So this time I have a seat in the returning Big Picture Classes, The Phone Photography Project 2!


If you take photos with your phone (and nowadays, really, who doesn't?) then this class is for you!

Here's some info...straight from the BPC site...

The Phone Photography Project 2
28 days of photo tips, app tutorials, and iPhone awesomeness
#BPCphonephotographyproject
Would you like to take better photos with the camera you always have with you—your smartphone?
Get ready to transform your mobile photography in a brand-new interactive workshop, The Phone Photography Project 2, starting July 17. Twenty expert iPhoneographers have collected their best tips, tricks, and tutorials for phone photography, and they're ready to share it all with you inside a private online classroom—with lots of fun happening on Instagram, too.

No matter what kind of camera or smartphone you use, taking better photos requires a basic understanding of photographic principles and the inspiration to see the amazing photo opportunities all around you. This class will show you that:
  • Your phone camera is capable of much more than you realize
  • Composition and lighting are just as important (if not more so) when you use a phone camera vs. a DSLR
  • You can produce frame-worthy snapshots with nothing more than your smartphone and the right combination of apps
With practical tips for mastering lighting, composition, editing, and more, this workshop will give you the tools you need to create impressive photos you'll be proud to share online, in your home, or in your scrapbooks.


So so cool, right???

*NOTE: even though each of the instructors for the class use iPhones, the information is universal for any type of smartphone...and although Android users may not have the same editing apps available, there are tons of similar apps in the Play Store that are just as good (trust me...I'm an Android user...).

Wanna win a seat?

All you have to do is leave a comment below! That's it! (don't forget to include your email address so I can contact you if you are the lucky winner!)
