Lea, when you get a minute, can you send your info to jill@jillibean-soup.com so we can get your goodies out to you?

It sounds like there are alot of great love stories taking place.  My romantic love story, I met my husband at a bar.  We fell in love over peanuts, a foosball table, and beer:)  Thanks for sharing with us!  Have a great day!

 

Extra, Extra....how about some "extra" goodies to go along with the new collections?

Check these out...

 

I think the buttons are my favs.  Did you see the new corrugated alpha font?  How about the corrugated sheets?  You asked and we listened!  Ok, one lucky winner can win all these fabulous "extras" by leaving a comment below.  If you had one question for me (Jill) - what would it be?  C'mon - I'm gonna make you work for this GIVEAWAY - it's a good one!

Have a great weekend everyone!  I'm headed to Chicago!

Hearty Barley Anyone?

Get it - "Hearty" Barley...it's a Valentine themed line! It's a mini-line. Actually we will show this at CHA but it's not being shipped until November 1st.  You'll get a sneak today but then won't see much until later this year.  You know we could not skip out on a kraft line! 

Kraft paper always looks different digitally than it does in person - I just received samples of this from the printer yesterday and it is BEAUTIFUL - I love it! 

We do have a set for a GIVEAWAY!  Leave a comment, we'd love to know how you met the love of your life. 

Have a great day!

Penguins Anyone? Introducing Christmas Eve Chowder....

It's Friday and what better way to start the weekend with a SNEAK Peek?  Yeah, I know it's July and has been hot and humid here in Ohio, but let's talk about Penguins and Christmas!  Introducing Christmas Eve Chowder...

 

The day I sat down to start sketching these, my 8 year old daughter did too.  Her penguins ended up being cuter than mine and more inspiring for Christmas Eve Chowder.  I think we have a designer in the house! 

Well, you should know by now how this works. ;)  We GIVE AWAY the product before you can buy it!  All you need to do is leave a comment - we'd love to hear what you're up to this weekend.  We'll pick a winner before the next sneak! 

Good Luck and have a great weekend!
