While the Cat’s Away Day 1: The Enchanted Garden
Filed under Cat's Away... 2014, Giveaways, Kits, Newsletters, Sale
I hope you stayed warm and dry on Christmas and had lots of yummy food with loved ones. And in case Santa didn’t bring you your heart’s desire (or if you’re just looking for a good deal in prep for 2015 projects)… It’s the first day of the week of While the Cat’s Away Giveaways!
By request, I’m trying something new this year for the Giveaways — I’m offering them as kits, too! You can still enter the drawing to win the kit — or buy it all with one click.
Today’s theme is The Enchanted Garden. I needed a break from all the recent Christmas-themed Giveaways and this Spring-y, fairy-filled group is definitely not Christmas!
Starting with the big items in the kit:
Enchanted Garden 12×12 Collection Pack
A big set that includes 18 double-sided 12″ x 12″ papers (2 each of 9 sheets) and a sheet of cardstock sheets. All with lots of fairies, mushrooms, butterflies, birds…
Enchanted Garden House Die-Cut Chipboard Album
Six 8″ x 8-1/2″ chipboard album pages (the cover with windows cut out), two 2″ x 3/4″ chipboard birds and two binder rings.
TWO new sets of luscious, velvety mulberry paper flower sets:
– Teastained Dahlias – Seaside
– Petite Teastained Teal Pansies and Leaves
This kit includes 3 collage sheets, that have just been put On Sale, too:
– Storybook Fairies Collage Sheet
– Vintage Postcard Fairies Collage Sheet
– Green Fairies Collage Sheet
See the Enchanted Garden Kit page for a detailed list of all the items.
The Enchanted Garden Kit Highlights – ALL On Sale! | |||
New & Related Goodies (not included in the kit) – ALL On Sale! | |||
Here’s how these While the Cat’s Away DAILY Sales and Giveaways work: I’ve gathered items around a theme and put together a Giveaway Kit that will be awarded to one lucky person.

What a lovely giveaway!! Fairies are a favorite of mine. I have a fairy garden and have my 10 year old grandson convinced that there really ARE fairies that come out when no one is looking and play and enjoy the seating arrangements. He is always trying to catch a glimpse of them. I love that he still has the wonder many of us lose as we age.
Would love to win this enchanting assortment of goodies!
Enjoy your time off! You deserve it!
