Giveaway- Covered Clipboards

We have a new giveaway that I think you’ll love…

We are giving away three of our covered clipboards along with 6 matching pebble magnets. These used to be plain, old, boring. brown wood–but with a little imagination and some scrapbook paper, well–just look at how pretty they turned out. In fact, you could clip an 8 x 10 photograph onto these boards and you would have a darling picture hanger. Use these cute things however you want to–even like a …clipboard–the possibilities are endless.

Reply to this post to be entered in the giveaway. We’ll announce the winner on Saturday January 3rd.

Oh, and if you don’t win, stay tuned. We’ll show you how to make some of these pretty clipboards yourself, real soon.

Good luck!
