Back To School Contest! (ENDED 8/20)

The Write Gal is thrilled to offer my very first contest!  For August my giveaway theme is Back to School products.  I LOVE Back to School shopping & fell in love when I was surfing the Internet one day and came across Stubby Pencil Studio.  This company sells eco-friendly products for creative kids including stationery, pencils, art supplies, and crayons which are made from soy, not petroleum.  You will also find natural play dough, non-toxic toys, and many other earth-friendly products for children.  I really like their sketchbooks and journals made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. 

Stubby Pencil Studio is sponsoring a FANTASTIC giveaway for The Write Gal’s readers, a whole bunch of goodies I know you are going to just love. You could win a set of 10 eco-friendly graphite pencils, a set of 10 colored smencils, and  your choice of design of a 6×9 Ecojot Recycled Sketchbook – a $26 value!  The smencils come in yummy scents — you get Bubble Gum, Cherry, Tropical Blast, Grape, Cotton Candy, Very Berry, Chocolate, Orange, Watermelon and Rootbeer.  For your choice of sketchbook you can choose from a variety of adorable prints which any girl or boy is sure to love.  My favorite is the one pictured here called “Apples.”

To enter all you have to do is to comment on this post. Tell me why you want to win and your favorite sketchbook design.  You can gain extra entries by:

  • subscribing to my blog and then letting me know in another comment that you subscribed.  (Current subscribers just need to remind me in a comment that you already subscribe).
  • adding me to your blogroll and then letting me know in a comment.
  • blogging about my contest with a link back to me and commenting to let me know.

So you could possibly have four chances to win! The winner will be drawn on August 20th.  Be sure to stop by Stubby Pencil Studio to place your Back to School order and tell Kate that The Write Gal sent you!  And there will be MORE Back to School giveaways coming soon so be sure and check my blog for details!

Good Luck & Happy Shopping!

    Congrats on your first contest!

    I’d like to win this for my son who is starting preschool in the fall. He is actually going to be 5 in December and reads and writes but they won’t test him for kindergarten. Anyhow, he LOVES anything to write on or write with so this would be great!

    Too bad you don’t have a way to subscribe by email…hehe I still need to help you with that…email me if you still want me to….I actually responded before momdot got zorched you just didn’t get to see it!

  2. 2 Kris August 12, 2008 at 9:36 am

    I forgot to tell you why we want to win. LOL! I’m sure my son would like the sketchbook, he’s always stealing my printer paper to draw on. I know he would go wild over the smencils since his older brother won a scented pencil at school last year and he was very jealous!

  9. 9 Beth August 12, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    Faith is a budding artist and colors all the time! She can draw smiley faces already. She would love the owl design. That’s our favorite!

    Hi! Well, after reading all your entries, I suppose I don’t really deserve to win the most! So, can I vote for someone else? 🙂 I vote for Alyce because she made me laugh! Plus I don’t know what “blogfeed” is anyway… you ladies leave me in the dust! Sigh… what can I say? Remember to floss! 🙂 I think it’s uber cool that you’ve done a contest! Keep up the awesome blogging!

    Great contest with prizes the kids will surely enjoy. I just love school shopping. I have six grandchildren and we play school all he time so even before any of them had started school, I was buying back to school supplies. I have no idea what a blogroll is but I have finally figured out how to post to my blog and I did that with a link to your page you can find my blog at:

    http://sabb266.blogspot.com/

    I couldn’t find your “button” so I just put in the link to your page.

  26. 26 Deborah Stinson August 12, 2008 at 6:24 pm

  29. 29 Dana August 12, 2008 at 6:59 pm

    My grandchildren are at about the right age to begin some serious sketching and this would be great for them to share. The Apple sketchbook is my favorite.

  30. 30 Estelle S. August 12, 2008 at 7:34 pm

    I don’t have any extraordinary reasons why I want to win. I just know my daughter would love the dinosaur sketchbook. She loves to draw, and is always begging me to buy her more paper. I think she’d get a kick out of the smencils. She had some smelly markers once and was so upset when they dried up and she couldn’t smell them anymore.

  31. 31 trisha August 12, 2008 at 7:54 pm

    Congrats on your first sponsor and contest. I love this, darling. It took me a few minutes to find their sketchbooks on thier page. THey are kinda retro~ I actually like the one you posted, with apples and chicks. I think it has a fun vibe to it and is more me in the colors then any other thing. I buy crayons, markers, and pencils more then any mom should, so this would be a fun set! Although if they smell good…she may try to eat them.

  33. 33 Lisa C August 12, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    I really love the products at Stubby Pencil, especially the Hedgehog 9×12 Recycled Sketchbook and the Smencils! Why didn’t they have Smencils when I was growing up? I could actually spend quite a bit of time with these things and I wish I could buy up your store. Thanks for hosting.

  104. 108 Liz C August 15, 2008 at 12:11 am

    Why I want to win? Well I’m on a fixed income and school starts in under 2 weeks and all I have for my daughter is some basics. Its all just basic boring things some 5cent notebooks and old binders left over from her sisters some yellow pencils paper pack and a pair of scissors. Theres no bling at all. Nothing even cute. I live on $744 a month rents $300 and utilities add up to at least that a month. So after the basics plus food gas and insurance and my medicines, there’s nothing really left for extras. I know it sucks for all 3 girls and I hate it. Fortunately I’ve saved all the leftovers from other years.
    And I really like the glitter flowers

  105. 109 Patricia Hill August 15, 2008 at 10:35 am

    I already have some Smencils that I gave to my grandkids and they love them. I would dearly love some more. I love the fact that they are made from recycled newspapers. Love the Glitter Flowers notebook.

    My daughter is an avid artist. She’s only six but she is constantly drawing and I’m amazed at what she creates. I’m trying to nurture this talent as much as I can so this would really be helpful. She’s not very girly so she would love the glitter dinosaur design. Thanks for the great contest!

  109. 113 michelle rosborough August 15, 2008 at 4:41 pm

    My granddaughter is a budding artist she would love this! If I had to pick one, it would be the hedgehogs.
    I also subscribe to your feed so I can find you again. Thanks for the contest

  118. 122 Barbara August 15, 2008 at 11:58 pm

    We vote for the Seaside design. Our 10 yr. old daughter
    seems to have some gifting for drawing, and I know that she
    would be thrilled to be able to use a set of “real artist’s”
    drawing tools! Thanks for offering.

  119. 123 Kathleen August 16, 2008 at 2:19 am

    I love Smencils! I’d totally fight my 6 year old for them. 🙂 And the Owls sketchbook is just way too cute. I came really close to ordering some stuff from them a couple of weeks ago, I’m not sure why I didn’t.

    My little guy loves drawing – on anything!!! (ie:walls, tables, his dogs if he can get them to hold still >.<)- and this would be a nice way to entice him to write on some paper! (And I really like the eco friendly aspect of this product) Our favorite design is the glitter dinosaurs!

    I’d like to win because my husband is an artist, but he says he’s lost his drawing talent because he never has time. I’d love to give him this prize package and tell him to get to it! My favorite sketchbook design is Apples, but for my husband I would choose the Dinosaurs – more masculine even if they are glittery.

  164. 169 Julie Smith August 19, 2008 at 2:07 am

    I would love to win this because my youngest dd is CRAZY about sketching and drawing! Having gone through this with my middle daughter (and the oodles and oodles of sketchbooks, pastels, easels, drawing pencils, etc.), I know that I will NEVER be able to have enough. And SMENCILS? sounds very cool, unique, and different (just like my dd).. and she would flip for the Glitter Flowers sketchbook 🙂 Thank you for pointing me to the website 🙂

I have to say that my favorite sketch is dinosaurs. We study dinosaurs in our class and it is absolutely my favorite unit to teach the kids. . kids and dinosaurs. . .can’t think of a better combination! :0)
