Oversized Giveaway.

May 12, 2011
Giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for all those who entered.  And congrats to Meagan for winning.  See you all next time for another fabulous giveaway....we promise.

It's time to share the love.  April was a really big month for us (read: we moved into our first house and it has been a whirlwind ever since!) and we didn't do a giveaway.  This is us making it up to you--ten fold.  Remember when our swooning over oversized letters turned into us figuring out how to make those $98/piece Anthropologie beauts?  We have had so many (no joke--thousands) of views for that one little post, that we couldn't keep them to ourselves anymore. 

We're making two more and giving a pair to one lucky person.   The Anthro letters are 25" tall, our letters are 25" tall and YOUR letters will be--25" tall, so don't expect to sit them gingerly on your kitchen windowsill--unless you have HUGE windows.

(for scale purposes)

We have ours propped up on a shelf above our bed along with some leaning canvases.  These bad boys would also look awesome hanging in a gallery wall arrangement, in a nursery sporting your child's initial, on top of your kitchen cabinets--if you have a lot of room up there, on a bookshelf, propped on your entryway console.  Not to sound so Seuss-y, but I like these letters everywhere.  And if a "C" and "J" don't suit your fancy (I'm thinkin' I'm talking to the majority here), no worries, you get to choose whatever two letters of the alphabet you want.

  • To enter: Leave a comment on this post about which two letters you want us to make for you and what they stand for.  Feel free to make that last part up and funny--we're not creepy and don't really need to know what your name(s) are, plus, we love a good laugh.  For instance, you might think our letter stand for Chris and Julia, but they really stand for Cracker Jack--our favorite treat (not really), if only for the prize.  Don't forget to leave an email address so we can contact you if you win.
  • Giveaway closes: Thursday, May 19th at 9 pm MST
  • The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Friday, the 20th. Good luck! 
Only one entry per person. Prize only ships to 48 contiguous states. (We still love you Alaska and Hawaii).

  1. I would love to have L and J for our new house we are getting in 2 years. L for me because I'm lazy and J for hubby cause he can be a jerk or a joke depending on his mood. Lol. Thanks.

  2. I would love a C & R for Connie & Randy we just celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary last week. The letters would be awesome on our fireplace mantal

  3. My boyfriend and I just moved into our first house too. I has been exhausting trying to get every room decorated. I'd love K & A. They would look super cute in our master bedroom.

    deveau.kristen(at)gmail.com

  4. I'm gonna go with B and R. Br is the chemical element bromine. Which comes from the greek word bromos which means stench. I mean really what family doesn't want to have the chemical symbol meaning stench decorating their house!

    blandrews13 at gmail.com

  5. I think I would choose a P and a G. We're trying to decide on a name for our baby and I think if I limited myself to these initials it would be MUCH easier. :) Thank you!
    kirbycolby at gmail dot com

  6. The letters I would like are B and S because they stand for Stephen and Brianna which are mine and my husbands names. They would look so cute all big and over the top and thats the kind of people we are ;)

  7. I would love to win this. I would want the letters U and S because my husband was in the military and we have a HUGE American Flag/Army mural painted on the wall in our living room.
    [not a true story]

  8. So cool! I would want G & E for Ginormous Elephant. Gotta love those giant creatures! mynameischadl(at)hotmail(dot)com

  9. LOVE these!!! I'd like C & C - for cc that, or Crunchy critters, or....... a wordplay on Si, Si! ((1955nursehjc4me(at)myway(dot)com)) ;-)

  10. I'd love an H and M, cause I can't get enough of that store! Not really, but my husband does always refer to it as "our" store.
    maggiemaggiemae (at) gmail (dot) com

  11. I would like an M and an L ..for my parents first initials. it would go to them!

    Thanks for the cool post and chance to win

    nolagirl727 at yahoo dot com

  12. hmnnn decisions, decisions. I could get L and M to stand for the husband and I which could also stand for Love Me, or if he ticks me off my Initials are LMM so it could just stand for moi! Or....I could get H and W. Since we got married over 10 years ago we sign all cards to each, notes etc...husband and or wife, just a thing we do. That might be pretty cute!

  13. I would love the letters E & J for Jenga Exteme. I just really love that game.

    Love the letters! So cool looking!

    erinpautler at gmail dot com

  14. I'd love a K and a T. K for our mutual last names, and my first, which also stands for Karma, which brought us together. T for my husband's first name, but also for Tenacious, which he was in earning my heart.

    Not funny, I know, but true.

    Kimbahleigh666(at)gmail(dot)com

  15. I'd get an "S" and an "L" for my and my husband's names. (Yes, boring, but with only two letters I couldn't do a *S*aturday *N*ight *L*ive explanation.)

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  16. I would like an M and a J- my name is Julia and I share a room with my sister Mary, but it could also be turned into Mary and Jesus or something of the sort! Thanks for the awesome giveaway! :)

  17. I think I'd choose A and Z because they are the beginning and end of the alphabet, then I'd put them in my kids' room.
    feltyfun at gmail dot com

  18. I would pick J and E for James and Ellen are "just excited" about those letters!! I love your blog too!

    elliemae524 at yahoo dot com

  19. OMG I love these! They're gorgeous :)

    I would like K & J to stand for myself and my lovely :D

    kmp19 19 (@) aim .com

  20. I would like an A(for Antane) and a J.(for jesse) My sigo and I would love these. Although, if there were two more pieces, I would add an apostrophe and a small s after the A. Cause I wear the pants!

  21. J and K for Jeff and Kayla. We have a high up window that I think these would look AWESOME in and cast a cool shadow. I dont have anything funny for the letters.....hmmm....maybe Just Kidding...Jeff and I are jokers! Our email is [email protected].....O, and May 20th was our set wedding date!

  22. Blogger has made me really mad for the last few days. Kay, so, what I said before was that I have been coveting these letters since you first posted about them! They would be perfection in my bedroom - violet walls, white comforter with charcoal and violet squiggles, dark Ikea furniture - oh baby. It would be perfect. We would need a B and a K, for Burger King. :)

  23. I have major giant letter envy...

    I would want a G and S for our bedroom...
    you know... gs... like golden spoon, or get some, or smart girls, or steph and george... whatever works best for you.
    [email protected]

    ps love your blog!

  24. YAY!!!! Glad to see I am #2 now because how often are #1's picked for giveaways...like NEVER.

    So, I would want 2 B's. One for our living room because over sized letters are HARD to find. And one in Brinley's room.

  25. Sorry to see that the other comments got lost as Blogger went down. :( I didn't see the original post, but I'm glad I found it now...looks like fun.

    Letters "M" and "J" because Michael Jackson is my favorite singer and Michael Jordan is my favorite athlete. (Not really...Matthew James...Matthew because we're all "M"s in the family, and James after my grandfather and great-grandfather).

    Cheers,
    Matt

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]
