Hi Friends! Oh, do I ever have the sweetest little giveaway for you today! I’ve teamed up with the sweet girls at The Nimbus Factory to bring you this adorable elephant journal and card set. Because you know what? A new season is here. And there’s nothing like a fresh start and a change of scenery. And I think this journal + card set is just the thing. In fact, I think you should start a garden journal. Every year, I say I’m going to start a garden journal. Also, you should totally write your Grandma. Grandmas like getting mail, you know.
One lucky Frecklewonder reader will receive the journal and the card set! Open to readers worldwide, hooray! A winner will be chosen this Friday, March 16 at 10 am EST.
Enter your name in the drawing by leaving a comment with something wonderful. A joke! A happy story! You decide.

I decided I would just say how cool I think you are. And that this giveaway seems super awesome. I’d love to send my Grandma a letter with this sweet card set XD

have a wonderful day!
It’s going to be 80 degrees today, the daffodils are everywhere and I’m gonna make kitty cat cupcakes. Totally happy. I love, love, love those prizes. Luck be a lady!
I just visited the Nimbus Factory website, and it’s all just so darling. I dig it.
Something wonderful: the cherry trees in my yard started blooming on Monday. YAY!
first day in detroit without a jacket this year!
i’m a fall/winter girl, and i’m even stoked about this!!
Love this! I am feeling inspired today by friends to focus on what really matters- loving and caring for my wee ones with a spirit of thankfulness:)
This photo will definitely make you smile http://www.flickr.com/photos/meghandavidson/6834762286/in/photostream
I think these beauties would love a trip to Ireland. The daffodils are waving hello and would love to feature in one of those journals
About to get married, would absolutely love to have some great cards to write my thank you’s on!!
Oh! This would be fun to write and send out to friends! I still like snail mail! My happy news? My poison ivy is finally fading away!!! That’s BIG for me! Who ever heard of poison ivy in the wintertime?!? And I’m allergic to the stuff.. I had to go get real medicine from the doctor and everything!
Something happy?
This summer we’re staying local for our family vaca. I can’t wait!
The weather is perfect and that makes me oh so happy!
I am swooning for the Nimbus Factory’s products! These would make my day, week and month if I won them. But even if I don’t, I’ll surely give into temptation & buy them regardless, such amazing stationary is hard to find.
I really do this is JUST the thing to kick off spring. I will most certainly write my Nana with these cards if I am the winner. As for a story… I once spent an entire lovely spring day sitting in my room when I was a wee 6 year old, punished for jumping into the muddy brook in our backyard, carving the word (inexplicably, even to this day) “vanish” into my window sill. Needless to say, back to back punishments made for a sad spring Ashley.
I’m having a baby! Next month!
My husband sent me flowers today – just because he loves me! I don’t think it’s because it’s Pi Day, even though he IS a mathematician.
My new year’s resolution was to write one snail mail letter a week. I have been LOVING the process and so have the recipients. Connecting with friends via mail makes me so happy. This stationery is fun and gorgeous. Would love to make it a part of my project. What a great give-away.
The happiest story today is that my windows are open, I can hear the birds singing, and even new shoots of grass are coming up! In Minnesota at this time of the year, this is nothing short of a miracle. Sunshine is glorious medicine for the soul.
Boy boyfriend’s mom LOVES and paints elephants, so I’m always on the look up for something super-rad with elephants. If I win the journal, I’m giving it to her.
Love them!
So I was getting ready to make chili the other day and the recipe called for exactly 239 beans.
Why you ask?
Well because any more would have been too farty!
HAH!
It’s Pi Day and it’s raining. Normally rain would not be a good thing but we really need it so we’ll take it!
I have a birthday goal to write 52 letters by my next birthday. These cards would most certainly be a part of that goal.
Something happy…I’m a teacher and Spring Break starts on Friday (and I get two weeks!). Yippee!
something happy:
i have been making a new list every month in 2012. this month: #21before22 (the must do’s before your next birthday) and i’ve begun planning our road trip to our new home in portland, or. i would love to have just one of those little journals to keep track of our travels & memories.
<3
oh happy day.
Happy today because I am having a pajama day with my daughter. Were making cookies, watching movies, and loving no obligations. Life is good!
the last thing to make me laugh was hearing my 22-month-old daughter learn to say “tortilla” this morning–”TILLA! TILLA! TILLA!” how can that not make you smile?
this morning on the way to school and work, I took my my daughter – who’s unofficial mascot is the elephant – to the “croissant store” for breakfast. That is 7-11 for junkie overly sweet coffee for mommy and a croissant for her. So simple, but made the day very special for us.
I’d love this journal.
Hey, this just reminded me, I got elephant curtains for her room from you. I need to snap a pic for you. They look cute!
I have a funny story! This is a story that my Granny shared with me (it happened when she was a little girl) and I’ve made her tell it to me at least 200 times!
One summer night my Granny, her mom and sister walked to a friend’s house to borrow a skillet. On their way home they had to walk through an alley. They heard a man say “Hey! Get over here!” in a harsh tone and all 3 of them started running. My Granny was holding her mom’s hand and her sister was a little ways behind them… Every time she would catch up she would get whacked in the face with the skillet. When they finally got home they were standing under the porch light and her sister was banged up! Her Mom turned to Doris and said “What happened to you?!”
Hahahaha!!!
It is gorgeous out here in my beautiful mountains. An early burst of Spring destined to last through next week– which is wonderful because my birthday is this coming Monday! I shall be a glorious 42, which means {provided you know Douglas Adams} that as of Monday I will become the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything– & if that ain’t a happy story, I don’t know what is!
Today the weather is absolutely amazing! Nearly 80 in Chicago! That makes me a happy camper
I just moved into my first house and I got all my mother’s dishes from her first house–and they are mushroom groovy!
These cards are sure to beget miles of smiles–I am proof! My day is a little bit brighter as a result of these darling cards. Something that made me happy recently was reminiscing about when I color-coordinated my braces for the holidays–LOL!
What a lovely little giveaway!
I’m a big fan of bright colors and mixed patterns! <3
My story~ It was a GORGEOUS 65 degrees today up here in Michigan and my little Marlie (2 1/2 yr-old daughter) and I soaked up every inch it! We kicked the morning off with opening up ALL the windows and letting the yummy sunshine and light breeze dance around our house.
Then we had a HUMONGOUS pancake breakfast with brown sugared bacon and fluffy scrambled eggs!
After breakfast we danced around the kitchen with our aprons still on <3 to a little bit of Billie Holiday and Etta James…
~I couldn’t possibly dream up a better morning than that <3 just perfect!
First of your blog is wonderful!
Second, spring is officially here, We`ve been gardening all week. I think the days of cold are fully gone! (not that we get that many in SC).
Hope I win, I`m a sucker for pretty things!
Good luck everyone! =D
I love sending cards and these are super cute! When I have time I like to paste and glue together my own cards to send little notes.
What vibrant and colorful ways of saying hello! I’d love to make those mine to start writing letters again. When my friends and I all went off to college, we regularly stayed in touch via a journal we all passed around, snail mail and novel-length emails. That just never happens anymore, even though we’re still far away from each other! I’d love to bring back those traditions, or at the very least an occasional mailbox surprise.
Thanks Frecklewonder!

1. I made rainbow cupcakes last night for my son’s class today. The smile on his face was worth every minute.

You’ve got problems.
Have a good day and thanks for the give away.

Something that might make the kids laugh

my favorite joke is: what do you call cheese that isn’t yours? nacho cheese!
It’s feeling spring-like where I live…WONDERFUL!
One of my favorite things right now is the scent of orange blossoms in the air. Delicious!
