Green Winner & $20 Pear Tree Giveaway!

Today's a giveaway kind of day. As promised, I'm sharing the winner of the Green Giveaway that I ran in honor of Earth Day and I have another giveaway from Pear Tree Greetings that I nearly forgot about for April. I'm not trying to get all crazy with the giveaways but I thought it would be nice for someone to win $20 worth of stationery vs. just skipping it this month altogether because of my forgetfulness.

The winner of the Method Wood for Good spray, free eco-friendly method cleaning product coupon, and other goodies is 'ldelangel'-Congratulations! I didn't use random.org this time because we only had 6 entries from 4 different people and with 3 entries from ldelangel alone I figured she really wanted to win it. I've tried reaching you via your blog and facebook page but am unable to contact you, 'ldelangel' could you please e-mail me with your address so I can mail your gift? Thank You! :)

This month's Pear Tree Giveaway is $20 to spend any way you like and includes free shipping anywhere in the U.S. I love their note cards and address labels but they also offer graduation announcements and baby shower invitations too! Speaking of grads, if you know of one, have them enter Pear Tree's graduation contest HERE to win up to $6,000!

A reader,Trish,  recently left a comment on this blog post about Pear Tree's products, this is what she wrote:

Happy Earth Day & Green Giveaway!

Happy Earth day! I love celebrating our planet and while today is a day that gets a lot of attention, I try to do my part every day. If we all introduce small and easy changes daily, we can make the biggest impact, and also show others by our actions how to live a more green and healthy lifestyle.

As some of you may know, Method is one of our newest sponsors. I was so delighted when they contacted me as I've been a loyal user of their fun, eco-friendly products for the past 6 or 7 years. I instantly fell in love with their yummy scents, people and earth friendly ingredients as well as their large range of products. If you have not explored the world of Method, I highly recommend it! Click {HERE} to see their collection. While all items are available online, you can find most at Target or Whole Foods.

A few weeks ago a case of these babies arrived at my door:

Thanks Method! I was asked to share their Wood for Good product with others, it is just one of their speciality surface cleaners. Wood for Good cleans and polishes wood furniture and smells like almond-it's HEAVENLY! Since Method had shipped the box of 4 bottles to me, as much as I wanted to give them all away to some of you, I wanted to keep things green by choosing friends or family members locally to avoid more fuel via shipping. I gave a bottle to 'J' and one to 'L' to try out and report back to me. Here is what they had to say about Wood for Good:

{L} said..."I love the fresh almond scent of the cleaner, makes you feel like you're baking or enjoying dessert instead of cleaning! I felt that it did a good job of removing light stains and dust/dirt and I liked that it came in a spray bottle instead of an aerosol can. I can see that the product will last me a while because a little goes a long way. And lastly, it comes in nice packaging and message on the bottle is entertaining and funny, which is always a nice bonus!"

{J} said... "WOW-the scent is awesome! I've never used a cleaning products that has smelled so good. I have both antique furniture as well as some modern pieces and it left both looking clean and shiny. We have hardwood floors and since I loved this so much that I want to try Method's wood floor cleaner next! I love knowing that this is safe for our cat and us as well as the planet."

Method wanted me to keep a bottle for myself but the final bottle will go to one of you in celebration of Earth Day! It will arrive along with a free Method product coupon to buy something of your choice and a micro-fiber cleaning cloth for one lucky winner who loves green cleaning as much as I do! (*While this is a wood cleaner, they have a separate cleaner for flooring, this is strictly for wood furniture.)

Become a public follower or tell me you already are one and leave me a comment here and tell me what green efforts you make in your home. For additional entries, like me on Facebook, Follow me on Twitter or blog about the giveaway and leave a comment for each. I'll be shipping this out to one lucky winner in the U.S. and will draw the name on Wednesday, April.27th at 11pm EST. Good Luck!

I wish you all a peaceful and blessed Easter!
