Carolina Pad Review and Giveaway

Edit -- Giveaway is now closed-- thanks for entering!
I told my daughter we were going to get some

stationary, showed her some pics online,

and the squeals came out!!

Actually I shouldn't blame it all on her, I was excited too. There's just something about getting new notebooks and folders. I can remember school shopping as a kid. After we got home I would take all my new supplies to my room and play with them for hours! I'm really no different now as an adult!!! ... Are you????

***

These Products came to us from Carolina Pad.

Oh My how the Notebook styles have changed from when I was in school!

This company has 12 awesome Collections.

I would have loved to have them in school....

And I will admit I Love them as an adult too!!!

We got 2 items in the Simply Chic Collection to review!

How cute are they!!!

They are extremely well made and durable. They have so many pockets to put little notes and papers in. These products will keep you very well organized and of course Very Stylish!!

***

About the company...

This company started in 1945 in North Carolina by Joseph K. Hall II. He started selling school supplies from the trunk of his car! He wanted to deliver products based on a core philosophy of "service, reliability,

and quality at a fair price.”

Decades later you can find their products all over the country at leading retailers like Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Harris Teeter, Staples, and more

The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Verses 3-4

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
