What better way than to bring a little life to a cold, dreary January than to have a week of giveaways? For the next five days, I'll be offering a number (five, to be exact!) of fun and fabulous prizes. Today we've got...
A Year in the Life!

This fabulous eBook, written by the ladies of Write.Click.Scrapbook and published by Ella Publishing Co. is replete with gorgeous layouts and page ideas for scrapping your year in 24 simple pages! At $6.99, it's a steal. I'm giving away a free copy... all you have to do is leave me a comment tell me what you'd like to see more of here on Five Things. Contest will close Monday night at midnight, as we've got a full slate of prizes for the week. Ready, set, go!
I want to know how you manage to do all that you do! I enjoy reading things that appeal to you. Your topic choices tell a lot about who you are ... and it's been fun getting to know you :)

I love your 5 things blog. You're truly an inspiration!
Something I would like to see in the future sometime is your five favorite color combos. ;) You always have such great flair on your scrapbooking pages!

I'd like to see more of your humour ... I love your cute little comments.
And perhaps some five favourites lists ... I love documenting my must-see films, best albums of the 90s, best one-liners, etc!
Best wishes for 2010!

I already have this ebook but thought I'd tell you how much I love your blog anyway..... I'd love to see you 5 favorite go-to fast dinners, favorite scrapbooking books, your fab tips on how do do anything faster, favorite websites, quotes....

I first discovered you through your podcasts and I miss them. I loved listening to you review products.

I love 5 favorite of just about anything. Music, books, food, & activities. And I love the idea in a earlier comment - I might start to scrapbook my 5 favorites for 2010. Thanks!

five favorite non-digital scrapping techniques, tools, etc.

I would like to see more of an insiders take on the scrapbooking world. For example, my small town doesn't even have a scrapbook store, just a Michaels. Which throws me to the wolves of the internet with 12$ shippling and $2 paper. maybe you could do lists of 5 websites for bargain, or new stuff or originality, etc.? Or
even store to visit? or stuff to incorporate on to your pages that is lying around the house. Thanks!

I love how to's.
Posted by: Gale | 01/18/2010 at 10:17 AM
I would say that I love the variety, food, kids, scrapping, life, its all good for me. Your blog is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.
Posted by: Maureen | 01/18/2010 at 10:53 AM
I like how-to's too. And seeing your pages.

love your bog. I'd like to see 5 deals of the day
Posted by: Heather Robertson | 01/18/2010 at 11:27 AM
I'd like to see more of your scrapbook pages!
Posted by: Lonely Scrapbooker | 01/18/2010 at 11:28 AM
I pretty much like your blog the way it is, a little of this, a little of that. It's such a great mix of home life, scrapbooking and life in general. I do really enjoy the 5 Ways/Things posts.
Posted by: Brenda Benjamin | 01/18/2010 at 11:34 AM
You don't need to enter me in your draw, but I wanted to leave a comment for you on this topic anyway.
Things I'd like to see you blog about:
- 5 of your all-time favourite movies
- 5 tips for multi-tasking (I know you're good at it, Miss "I send emails from iPhone at the gym"!)
- 5 moments of your life you wish you revisit/relive (come on, I can't be the only one who wishes for more clarity of mind the moment I held each of my babies for the first time!)
- 5 consumer products the world could do without (think of the most sugary breakfast cereal out there and go from there! and don't forget to check out the stuff from the "As Seen On TV" product lines.)
Posted by: Barb | 01/18/2010 at 11:55 AM
love the ideas in the comments above! I also would love to see 5 techniques. Or how about 5 new things from CHA, 5 favorite pages, 5 favorite non-consumable tools. Love the variety of things you present!
Posted by: Kate | 01/18/2010 at 12:13 PM
Carry on doing more of the same. I love your blog and am looking forward to my third LOAD.
Posted by: Sue Bone | 01/18/2010 at 01:07 PM
I like what you are already doing! I love the DIY ideas, and would love to see more :)
Posted by: Christine Jensen | 01/18/2010 at 01:09 PM
I'd love to see more of random things. Love the organizational tips, the scrapbook related ones especially ones with pictures and just everyday things.
Posted by: Marygail | 01/18/2010 at 01:14 PM
Hey Lain - nice to see you over at Write. Click. SCrapbook this week!
I love your five things - liked the idea of how tos, but really I'm enjoying any of your lists.
Posted by: kate | 01/18/2010 at 01:44 PM
I really enjoy your blog (and your tweets!). I agree with the sentiment for top 5 lists- you might have to do categories for books, or you won't be able to narrow it down to 5. Also looking for 5 scrapbooking ideas or tips or must have tools or methods of photo organization, etc. Love keeping up with you through your blog, and I do enjoy the 5 structure.
Posted by: Andrea Adams | 01/18/2010 at 01:46 PM
This is the only Ella pub I don't have yet.
How about 5 ways to scrap faster - I know you must. I am a molasses scrapper! I need to get more done.
Posted by: Michelle W. | 01/18/2010 at 02:03 PM
Love your '5 Things' and love how they're all on a variety of topics. How about top 5 adhesives and what they're used for, 5 PSE tips, 5 parenting books, 5 good chores for kids, 5 ways to show your spouse you love him/her, 5 shoes for spring...thanks for the opportunity to win!
Posted by: tchrtiff | 01/18/2010 at 02:11 PM
Love your 5 things blog and enjoy anything you choose to share....the variety is what keeps it interesting. I expescially enjoy the links to other crafters or scrapbooking ideas as it opens me up to more bloggers or websites I can enjoy!
Posted by: Carmel Keane | 01/18/2010 at 02:44 PM
Perhaps five favorite scrapbook techniques, or 5 quick techniques. Top five ways you get your writing flowing. Top five journaling methods.
I love your blog as is, but I respect that sometimes we need some ideas generated.
