Every once in awhile, there are those blog giveaways that I really, really, really, really want to win.
The Owls are hosting one of those giveaways right now. But I'm not eligible to win. And that makes me all sorts of sad.
But you can win! And that should make you all sorts of happy!
We want you to be ready to head back to school. True, it's hard to leave beaches, pools, rafts, lazy days, and fruity drinks behind, but we're giving away so much good stuff that it should help ease the transition a little bit :)
First up, you can win one of three gift cards to help you get your back-to-school shopping done over at the Owl-ways Be Inspired blog. One winner will win $100 to Amazon, a second winner will win $50 to Target, and winner number three wins $25 to Walmart.
I love bright new borders and crisp construction paper as much as the next girl, but what I really need to head back to school is coffee. And lots of it!
I'm giving away a $15 Starbucks gift card to fuel your mornings and an ADORABLE {as in, my most favorite travel mug ever} Ban.do coffee mug to house your latte with an extra shot of expresso. And in case you overslept, despite the coffee in the cute travel mug, I'm giving away $15 to my TpT store for any last minute back to school resources you might need!
To enter to win, just use the Rafflecopter below:

And don't forget to enter over at the Owl-ways Be Inspired blog to win one of three gift cards AND to see what other fabulous prizes the other ladies are giving away. SERIOUSLY. It's GOOD STUFF!

Good Luck!
