FRIDAY'S FEATURED SELLER AND GIVEAWAY-NICOPAPERGOODS

***Please note that this giveaway has been extended until 08/13!!! Keep entries coming!!!***

Hi everybody! This Friday I have an AWESOME giveaway from Etsy seller Nico Papergoods. I am in love with books and journals, so this shop is like my own personal heaven. I want to purchase pretty much every item in the store! Check it out...there are awesome journals, book necklaces, notebooks, photo albums and more! Needless to say it's been hard for me to pick my favorites, but here they are:

Black Leather Book Necklace (I LOVE book necklaces...I have been working on some myself but mine aren't as cool as these yet!)

Brown Leather Journal (This is gorgeous...there are so many little details that make this an amazing piece.)

Three Small Leather Notebooks (These would be so awesome to have handy in my purse!)

In the artist's own words...
1. The address of your Etsy shop: http://etsy.com/shop/nicopapergoods
2. Description of what you make: I make one of a kind journals, paper goods, garlands, book necklaces and memory games.
3. Your favorite creation: Whenever I list something new, that it is my absolute favorite until I come up with a new idea. But I do think the kid's journals with the pockets are quite unique.

5. Years you have been creating: 34 years.
