Laurence King Publishing has generously partnered with me to offer not just one, but TWO copies of Rosie Martin‘s best-selling book, DIY Couture: Create Your Own Fashion Collection, for giveaway here on my blog. Enter using the Rafflecopter widget below:
I reviewed DIY Couture a little while ago if you want to check out the review. Basically it’s a wonderful book for even beginner sewists, teaching pattern-making from a rub-off method of using garments you already have to create clothes you want to wear. You can customize pretty much anything for a look all your own – which leaves endless possibility for DIY!! I’m just putting the finishing touches on a pretty printed dress I made using one of the patterns and techniques in the book…I can’t wait to share!! (Stay tuned for this week’s outfit…)
I’m experimenting with using Rafflecopter for this giveaway…I’ll see how it goes. You can enter up to 3 times daily, by clicking on the button, Tweeting the giveaway, and liking Chic Steals on Facebook.
This giveaway is open until Monday, April 29, 12:00 AM EST.
Since I’ll personally be shipping out the copies of the book, entrants are limited to people who have a U.S. mailing address. I apologize to my International readers!!
Good luck to everyone!

It’s April already – which means a brand-new sponsor for Chic Steals and an amazing giveaway too!
This month’s sponsor is The Plaid Barn: a one-stop destination for daily sales of crafting and DIY supplies, all highly discounted from 60% off and higher. With items ranging from 5 cents – around $40 at the very most, all the supplies available on the site are super-affordable…and are of extremely high quality, rivaling that which you can get at retail stores (for a huge markup in the stores, that is). They have offered sales on washi tape bundles, mini clothespins, flower barrettes, printed scarves, pretty cabochons, and typewriter earrings (just to name a few), as well as DIY kits and grab bags full of lovely supplies. (Even after the Daily Deal has expired, you can still purchase supplies and kits here.) You can also hear an interview with founder Lindsay Edens that I did in my last Creatively Chic podcast here.
GIVEAWAY: A Box Stuffed with $50 Worth of Crafting Supplies

I recently received a sample Caress® Passionate Spell® Fine Fragrance Elixir Body Wash, and it’s become my newest bath-time indulgence.
I’ve had really dry, itchy legs for the first time ever this Winter (maybe I’m allergic to my socks?? I’ve been wondering), and nothing has given me any relief. By night-time in the bath I am scrabbling away at my ankles, trying to calm the itchiness, slathering on lotion and moisturizers to no avail once I’m out. I’ve been using regular Dove bar soap in the bath, and haven’t had much of a problem with it…until now.
So I was really surprised that within a couple days of switching over to Caress Body Wash instead of soap, the itchiness had gone down tremendously. The wash is silky smooth and super-moisturizing, and even Lil Tot likes the fragrance of it.
It has a complex scent, of spicy orange rose and passionfruit: fruity, flowery, and Wintery all in one. I’ve never smelled anything like it before – and it makes my whole bathroom smell like a warm Winter punch (with orange slices floating in it), and lush gardenias and rose blossoms. Plus the scent lingers long after my bath, and I smell delicious for hours afterwards!
Courtesy of Caress® Passionate Spell®, they are giving away a $25 gift card to one lucky reader! With it you can purchase Caress® Passionate Spell® Fine Fragrance Elixir Body Wash to try out yourself, and snag yourself a pretty accessory to go with your gleaming, scented skin. Or use it wherever – on whatever - you want! Here are the details:

Whitney from Freshly Given with her Leather + Cork coasters!
I’m always in need of more coasters for holiday gatherings – and these are neutral and chic enough to be used year round…or could be customized to the season with colored leather. Love them!
Thanks so much for uploading holiday projects into the Stories App! (now appearing at the top left of my site)
Everyone can continue uploading your DIYs into the app to share, comment, and connect with your fellow crafters – and get awesome traffic back to your site! Any recent projects you’ve finished…or any of the tutorials I’ve shared on Chic Steals that you’ve tried out, please share!
Congratulations Whitney and thanks to everyone who entered!

Hey guys – if you want to be in the running for that Michael’s Gift Card I’m giving away, just upload a holiday-themed DIY to the Stories App at the bottom of my site (under “Stories by the Chic Steals Community” heading).
Since I’ve only had like 2 entries, that means the odds are really superb you’ll win. And who wouldn’t want a little extra to spend at the craft store to make something beautiful for the holidays?
I’ll be extending the entry period until midnight PST Wednesday night (12/5/12), just so everyone can add their projects.
So what are you waiting for?
Carly
I’ve partnered with Echoed.com that produces this cool new application called “Stories.” It’s an application that allows users to upload their own photos and write a “story” about the photos, vote on photos you like, and share content. Kind of like Pinterest but with more space for adding information, and space for different angles or descriptive photos. Plus it’s hosted right on your own site, so it creates a beautiful array of user-submitted content available to any visitor to see immediately.
You can now view DIYs submitted by Chic Steals readers (and submit your own!) in the bar appearing at the bottom of my site window. Press the double-down arrow to hide it. Reload the page to view the bar again. Click See All Stories to view all the DIY projects submitted by the community and get some great inspiration! Up-vote projects you like, and leave comments. I’m dying to see what all of you are making – and it’s a great way to get your DIY’s featured immediately on the front page of my site.
To promote this partnership, Echoed.com is offering a giveaway of a gift card to Michael’s Arts & Crafts to help someone create that fabulous DIY. Here’s how to win:
{just in time for the holidays!}
How to Enter
1. The Stories app appears as a gray bar at the bottom of your browser window while looking at my site. Click on the RED BUTTON on the right that says “Add Your Story.”
2. Register with your email address, Facebook login, or Twitter login.
3. Upload a photo of a Holiday-themed DIY you’ve done into the app. It can be a photo of any project that is holiday-appropriate (ANY holiday, even Halloween or Fourth of July!). It can be fashion, food, crafts, decorations, kiddie project…ANYTHING.
4. I will be randomly selecting one entry from the submissions (once the entry period is closed) as the winner.
RulesEntry period is from now until midnight PST on Tuesday, December 3, 2012.
Winner will be randomly chosen from the entries posted until then.
Anyone over the age of 18 can enter – and you can enter multiple times, with a photo of a different DIY each time, to increase your chance of winning!
