Giveaway: Bouncing Ball Creations
Today I'm super excited to host a fun, literature related giveaway from the talented Mariko of Bouncing Ball Creations! Mariko is a high school English teacher by day and crafter by night, and creates these unique writing utensils from the pages of favorite books. When reading more about her, I also thought it was neat that Mariko meant "bouncing ball" in Japapanese! Cool, huh? And when I saw these pens and pencils I kind of fell in love- I adore writing, and to combine both reading and writing in one cute little utensil? Adorable. Who wouldn't want to write a letter to a friend or even a grocery list with one of these? I think they'd also make the perfect gift for any bookworm in your life, or a completely fabulous finish on a present, wrapped up in the bow. She can also do custom orders using pages from your favorite book.
On Monday, June 20th I'll choose 5 winners at random. Each winner will receive their choice of a wrapped set from Bouncing Ball Creations!
To enter, stop by Mariko's shop then simply leave a comment with your name and email address below.
Good luck to everyone!

I cannot stop looking at this shop now, and saying, 'that's amazing, no wait.. that's amazing.' I really need some of these. I would definitely want the pen set in the hunger games. I use (and am slightly obsessed with) pens everyday! These are amazing. Thank you so much for making me aware that these exist.
