By the time the contest ended, FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN people had commented on the post. Which completely blows my mind, seriously. The only way to choose two winners from that many entries is to use the random.org sequence generator. I set the highest value at 416 and clicked randomize. AND…

The winners are commenter #269 Tanta, and #345 Tracy Ackroyd! Congratulations to them and thank you again so much everyone who entered. Believe me, I feel your pain at the gas pump.

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Mary from Adventures in Mommyland!

In this age of electronic email and instant messaging, there are still times when you need to write a note to someone, like when you want to send a note to your child’s teacher. Paperlicious, a New York City company founded by friends who started out designing paper goods for parties and weddings, offers Social Stationery in fresh, hip, retro designs that will be the envy of your child’s teacher and anyone else you send it to! Note cards come in packs of 30 cards and envelopes with up to two lines of custom printing.

You can choose from cards in four categories and twelve colors of ink, including a bluish purple called, of course, “Blurple”, and a lime green called “Get In Lime”. You can also choose from a huge variety of fonts as well as specify how you want your text justified-right, left, center, etc. Paperlicious uses “Smart Paper”, which comes from a manufacturer that uses 50% recycled materials, from a mill that supports sustainable forestry. Even the warehouse they get their paper from is 100% powered by wind/solar energy. All of their paper remnants are donated to schools for art projects or recycled. Even their printer is an Energy Star printer!

Paperlicious has generously donated a box of Social Stationery to one lucky Table for Five reader. The randomly chosen winner will choose their design and receive an emailed proof to approve before the stationery is printed and shipped at no charge. I’m so excited for whomever wins! The following contains all the rules for the giveaway, which is open to U.S. entrants only-sorry, but they use the U.S. Postal Service for shipping. Retail value=$19.99 plus shipping.
