The Giveaway is now
CLOSED! Thanks to everyone who entered. The winner will be announced on
Thursday 5th July!
Hello, and welcome to this weekend's festivities at Jennifer's Jumbles! This is the start of my
'Organisation Celebration' - if you haven't previously heard about this event, then here's the deal:
The event is inspired by my word of the year, which I blogged about in January here. Along the theme of organisation there will be posts every hour, from 4pm-10pm Friday (today), and 10am-10pm Saturday and Sunday (BST), including a blog hop, tips, tutorials, challenges, crafts, and lots of GIVEAWAYS!
The giveaways will stay open until Monday (2nd July 2012) at 11.59pm BST, so if you're away for any part of the weekend you'll have Monday to try and catch up! One challenge will be open until the following Sunday (8th July 2012) too! All the giveaways will be open internationally.
And, we're kicking off the giveaways right here, right now, with a Grand Giveaway:
The prize includes (worth over £40):
- 4 sheets of Bazzill Basics Cardstock
- 4 sheets of Crate Paper 'Storyteller' Patterned Paper (Lifetime, Yesterday, Document, & Tag Cuts)
- Crate Paper 'Storyteller' Phrase Stickers, Border Stickers, and Alpha Stickers
- 4 Sheets of My Mind's Eye 'Follow Your Heart - Be Amazing' Patterned Paper (Societe, Blue Doliy, Geo Star, & Be Adored)
- My Mind's Eye 'Be Amazing' Decorative Brads, and Rhinestones
- Pink Paislee 'Prairie Hill' 6x6 Paper Pack
- Pink Paislee 'Prairie Hill' Element Stickers, and Shipping Tags
- American Crafts 'Dear Lizzy' Roller Date Stamp
- A selection of Felt, Crochet, and Fimo Embellishments handmade by me, and strip each of Lace and Vintage Material, tied around a peg.
Plus a few useful bits:
- Blue Tac, 2 Sharpie Pens and a Sharpie Pencil, Paper Clips, and an Adhesive Roller.
What do you think? I tried to choose colours that would be great for summer crafting, but that could ease nicely into Autumn in case you don't get to craft with them right away, (of course these seasons might not apply to where you live - if that's the case, I hope you like the colours anyway!)
So how do you get your hands on this prize? Just leave a comment! You could just leave one on this post, but... wait for it... every comment on any post this weekend will count as another entry into the draw! (That's commenting on posts that have been newly posted this weekend, from now until Sunday 10pm - going back commenting on old posts won't count - sorry!)
You will only be entered into the Grand Giveaway draw if you have commented on this welcome post - that way if you don't want to win the prize (perhaps you're lucky enough to already own all this stuff?!) then don't comment here - but you can still leave commments for the rest of the weekend (and maybe win some other giveaways!), without being entered into this draw. (I hope that all makes sense!)
I'm going to wrap up this welcome post with an organisational tip:
If something is important, then write a note about it and put it where you look most often. For me, this is currently at my computer! Luckily I have this brilliant mousemat, which is actually a pad of paper (it came from Paperchase):

Anything I need to remember gets jotted down here, and I see it each time I sit at the computer. Where do you look at the most? Your craft desk? Your kitchen wall? Wherever it is, stick up a note there right now, that says 'don't forget to keep checking www.jennifersjumbles.blogspot.com all this weekend!'
Ha. You don't really have to do that. Though I'll pretend you all are!
Don't forget to leave a comment here to be entered into the Grand Giveaway {NOW CLOSED} - the giveaway is open internationally, and it will close at 11.59pm (BST) Monday 2nd July. Make sure you leave me a way to contact you if you win, if you're not easily reached via a Google account.
That's it for this hour, I'll be back in 60 minutes with the next installment! x

Love that "mousemat" - pretty much what I do but on several sraps of paper which then get buried!
Looking forward to the rest of the weekend!
I am very much looking forward to the weekend on Jennifer's Jumbles! :) This amazing prize includes some of my favorites at the moment!
I love to use post-its to organise myself and often stick loads of little post-its on my layouts so that I can remember what supplies were used and if I used a sketch etc. Would LOVE to win that stash!
oh oh oh! I ordered one of those giant desk calendars.. and that things is COVERED. but I also had to get a planner so I could carry it around with me. looks like Organization might be my word this year, too :)
I can do with all the help that I can get with organising.....so looking forward to your posts.
And she's OFF! You have some wonderful giveaways Jennifer. This tip is one of those things that is simple yet overlooked, definitely one for me to remember!
Can't wait! Looking forward to it, and your prize has tempted ne to dabble with scrapbooking again! Xx
Cool and fun event! I'm totally check it out this weekend. I normally stick the notes at my fridge.
Great giveaway gifts! You look like you're very organized. Also love the purse you're holding in the costume picture. Did you make it also?
Looking forward to all your inspiration! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway! I also like your tip!
Looking forward to lots of hints and tips over the weekend

Jennifer, the prize looks fab! I can't wait to see what great posts you've got lined up for us!
Great prize! Will be following your blog with interest :) I use a filofax to get organised, I love it!
Love your mousemat, very handy :o)
I tend to leave messages on the fridge. If it was really important I could tape it to my coffee jar!
I am always leaving notes in different places - not very organised! I love the mousepad idea - and the giveaway looks fantastic :)
What a great idea this is, I hope to catch every post.
Hi there - am i too late to leave a comment on this post now? Only just got chance to fire up my laptop - ah well, I'll join in anyway, looks like lots of fun. Have a fab weekend. Annie :) ps guess what I have post-it reminders stuck on my laptop as we speak!
What fabby prizes, I need all the help I can get with organising :)
What a good idea for a mouse mat
I place important notes on a post it note on the edge of my computer. That is what I use the most...so I see it when I sit down.
Looking forward to following along!
I have arrived here from the Counterfeit Kit Challenge and have been happily blog hopping and enjoying myself reading your blog...I love organization and would love to be entered to possibly win the grand prize. I'm really looking forward to more learning and reading blogs in the coming days!
so glad to find your blog just in time for your give-away. I LOVE your idea of the note-pad as mouse-pad. I will totally be using that idea. Can't wait to see what else you have in store this weekend.
Oooh I'm definitely up for some organisation this weekend! Thanks for the motivation, the scrappy inspiration, and the chance to win. :)
I love the idea of this blog hop as I am a total organization junkie! Organizing my scrapping stash is half the fun of scrapbooking. :-)
Lovely prizes, thanks for hosting :)

What a fun giveaway! Love those colors for summer!
This is an awesome giveaway! I can't wait to see what else you have for us this weekend!
The kit you pulled together looks great and I'm looking forward to all the posts this weekend. I used to jot things down on post-it notes both in my office and in my craft studio - and they often got lost between one station and another. Now I have a little notebook that gets carried back and forth between the 2 and it works much better.
What a great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
NEED one of those mousepads/notepads - awesome! Lovely giveaway too, yummy colours :)
Yay, finally reached the beginning (having been reading backwards in my reader!!) and am glad i have been commenting in nearly every post so far after seeing this giveaway. (I wont tell you I have been in front of the computer since 8pm..it is now 10.45, Andy Murray is 2 sets up *yay* and I still have a couple more of yours to catch up on...plus others :s....well worth it though :D)

Hi Jennifer!
I'm Sinéad and I just found your blog via a link in Kirsty's 'Journal of Curious Things'. I have loved reading through all your organisation themed posts and look forward to doing the bloghop now to collect all the magic letters:D
Thanks for the chance to win - will be definitely bookmarking your blog for future reading! xx
what a fab blog hop I definitely need the inspiration, thanks for the opportunity to win those fab goodies too!
I try to be organised but I've got so much stuff now that I tend to use what I see and forget what I can't.
I'm late to the celebration but will definitely be reading all the posts and with a bit of luck implementing some of them too.
Love Mandy xxx
Have really enjoyed your posts this weekend, think positive planning was my favourite! TY
Love that mouse mat, brilliant!
I just popped over from Sian's Storytelling Sunday and had to check out your organization post - I love to organize!
I write everything on my calendar because I check it often. If it's not written there, it probably won't happen. When my family wants to schedule something, they always ask first, "do you have your calendar with you?" LOL
What a great giveaway! I am enjoying reading your blog this weekend.

What a fantastic give away. And I love your mouse pad, such a clever idea! I have little 'don't forget' heart shaped magnet clips on my fridge to clip important notes to! Becky x
I love your mouse mat, up until last week I mainly sit at my desk in my office at work and I stick post-it notes to my monitors. The main one I have had stuck there for months detailed my maternity leave dates :) I am now on maternity leave so will have to find somewhere at home to write notes to myself :) Great giveaway! Kxx
What a great giveaway! I love your mouse mat, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your posts!
Great give away how kind of you! Love the colours of the papers they go so well with all those summer projects
o.k.I'm working my way through your posts and of course would love to win this fabulous giveaway.
Like your mouse mat/reminder pad very much, my reminder pad is stuck on the fridge, well that's where I am most of the time, right!
WOW, what a great prize pack!!
So generous, thanks for the chance! :)
Thanks for the chance to win and for stopping by my blog!
I love the colours - what a great giveaway!
What a wonderful giveaway!
Love all those happy colours ... Fingers crossed!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
