Welcome to Sugar Chill - - a monthly GiveAway of all things Art, Design, and Craft-like! On the 11th of each month I publish a post describing each of the contributions – and two people have the opportunity to get it!

One sampler is distributed to a random commenter on this GiveAway post - to qualify, you enter a link to a favorite product on a contributor site (see this post as this post as examples)....  see details below.  I ship this sampler world-wide, free of charge.

.... And the other sampler is available for immediate purchase - - the first person to tell me their favorite item below via email can purchase it for $15!  (shipping included, $25 for addresses outisde the U.S.)   SeaBird AT SeaBirdChronicles DOT com

Read more of the details – including how you can contribute to the August GiveAway – on the Sugar Chill page.

And now for the July edition! This month’s featured contributor is Jennifer Pinsent of All Things Jenuine. In her Toronto studio, Jennifer uses quilled paper to create beautiful greeting cards, jewelry, and invitations. Each sampler will contain two of her cute cards – one birthday and one butterfly card (see below).

Next we have the latest issue of the Mix Tape zine out of Melbourne, Australia - - each issue is a collusion of craft, eco-cool and pop culture kitsch!

As well as a recycled crayon – made by yours truly - perfect for making rubbings of found nature objects or any other type of coloring where a variegated hue enhances the piece.

One sampler will have a cool Candy Pin and the other a cute Nesting Doll coin purse, both by Bored Inc.

J. Otto Seibold is a fabulous illustrator and I have two copies of his latest book featuring the endearing little dog, Olive. It would be tempting to cut out each of the pages of Olive My Love and hang them on the wall!

… for a total retail value of $54! Plus, just for kicks, each sampler will have a sample of my new favorite tinted moisturizer by Stila!

So now, if you’d like to win one sampler, leave a comment with the link to your favorite item from any of the contributors’ sites. (you may enter more than once)  PLEASE include your email address so I can contact the randomly chosen winner on July 22.

But if you desperately want the sampler and can’t bear to risk not winning, email me your favorite item above. The first person to do so can purchase it for $15! (shipping included)  SeaBird AT SeaBirdChronicles DOT com

Good luck and have fun!

UPDATE:  July's Sugar Chill GiveAway is offically closed - the winner is Cheryl of Fractured Toy!  Thanks to all who contributed items and entered the GiveAway!
