While the Cat’s Away Day 3: Hometown
Filed under Cat's Away... 2014, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Kits, Sale
Hey, it’s Day 3 of the While the Cat’s Away Giveaways! And today’s theme is Hometown.
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.
Starting with the big items in the kit (and the first one is so big it doesn’t even fit in the photo at right!):
Hometown 12×12 Collection Pack
A warm, nostalgic group with photographs of vintage landmarks and antiques; includes 2 each of 6 double-sided 12″ x 12″ papers and one 8″ x 12″ ephemera sheet.
Pocket Watches Collage Sheet
Hooray! A long time coming but I’ve taken advantage of my bit o’ free time during this week to finish this watch/key/gears sheet.
See the Hometown Kit page for a detailed list of all the items.
Hometown 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.
To enter the Hometown Giveaway drawing all you have to do is leave a comment BELOW on this blog post TODAY (December 28, 2014) by midnight (PST).
Don’t forget to leave your (hello! correct) email address, too, so I can contact the winner; your email address does not need to be made public. Note: I’m offering free shipping, too, but only within the USA. International shipping will still apply.
Please be patient! Spammers try to post crap here a lot so comments are moderated. So if you don’t see your post in the comments section, be patient and check back in a few hours before re-posting it, please!
After midnight I’ll randomly pick the previous day’s winner. So make sure to check back tomorrow to see who won and to see what’s on offer for Day 4 of the Sales & Giveaways!
Hey, who won the Madeleine Giveaway (used in those cute Valentine Candy Boxes at right by Teri Calia)? That would be Linda Ellis! Please check your email for my message about getting your mailing address.
More info on the Holiday Closure & Giveaway Rules (including how you can get entered twice in each day’s drawing).
And please remember: Our offices are now closed. The whole “While the Cat’s Away” theme is ’cause I’m the only one here! For more info about shipping (which will start when the staff are all back on 1/5/15) and the sale in general, please see the While the Cat’s Away…” Daily Giveaways: Year 7! overview page.
A final note: Even though our offices are closed, orders for DIGITAL Collage Sheets and Digital Images are still fulfilled in real time!

This is a beautiful collection!
I recently became involved in my hometown community assisting school-aged children living in poverty. I was amazed to learn that so many children in my own community were living below the poverty “line” and it broke my heart. I would love to win this collection to document this issue and our successes as they happen. I think this hometown collection would be perfect for this issue.
Congrats to your lucky winner and thanks for more fun! Hugs, Diane
