Review & giveaway: Carolina Pad



Back to school got you down? It seems like school supplies get to be kind of boring. It's all the same ole, same ole. Not anymore! Carolina Pad has a wide selection of stylish and practical products for school and the office.

I'm in love with these products. Life is so much easier when you are organized. I received a binder with dividers which I am using to keep track of my readers entries into giveaways, upcoming review information, etc. I use one of the notebooks for the same thing because I believe in a checks and balance system. The accordian folder is perfect for bills. I wouldn't want to forget to review a product or post a giveaway. That would not be good... Everything that I received is gorgeous and it's all high quality. I will be a loyal Carolina Pad buyer from here on out.

Carolina Pad has also given me a discount code to share with all my lovely readers. Use the promotion code BTS2009 to save 15% off your total order from now until August 22nd. All orders that total $30 or more (after discount) receive free shipping!! What a deal!

I want to thank April from Carolina Pad for sending me several products to review.

And now for the best part:

April has given me permission to give one of my readers their choice of one of the following collections:



When the signature designer of Carolina Pad, Jacqueline Savage McFee, found out that her two year old cousin was suffering from Leukemia, she design this beautiful collection with her cousin in mind. Kendall is in remission now and proceeds from this collection go to help others who suffer from the disease.



This collection is all made from recycled materials. Be stylish and environmentally conscientious at the same time. Check out the Sasquatch site here and find interactive games, tips, and more.

How do you enter?

MANDATORY ENTRY -
Head over to Carolina Pad and tell me your favorite collection other than the two shown above. You must leave a way for me to contact you - either leave an email address or have your email visible through Blogger.

EXTRA ENTRIES:

+1 Tell me which of the two collections above you will choose if you win

+2 Join Carolina Pad's Consumer Insights Panel and follow this blog.

+2 Follow Carolina Pad and me on Twitter.

+2 Become a Carolina Pad fan and friend me on Facebook.

+3 for every place you link to this giveaway - make sure you leave the direct link or your entry will not count. (This can be done once a day)

The winner will be emailed on August 15th.
