Anne Taintor Prize Package Giveaway

by Soliloquy on April 22, 2008

COMMENTING IS CLOSED. WINNER ANNOUNCED here.

Used with permission

Brought to you by:

Oh, and also by my husband, who generously finances my romp through life.

Just couldn’t miss out on taking him for all he’s got hosting another giveaway. It was so much fun last time! The sheer joy it brought me last week motivated my man’s benevolent spirit again this week. For real. (Dang, he’s yummy!)

It was pretty obvious what it HAD to be, the giveaway.

All things Anne Taintor. Because, ya’ know……….

So, lookie, lookie at what’s up for grabs!

Two books, a journal, a notepad, three magnets, a keychain and two sheets of stickers.

Would I lie to you, dear reader?!



You know you want this one. So do I.

There are four simple rules:

1. Go to Anne’s website and have fun poking around. If you don’t know her, you may be thinking you don’t want to take the time to go, but Listen. To. Me.

If you don’t go, you won’t ever know that you, in fact, LOVE Anne Taintor. You just don’t realize it yet.

I promise, this will be fun.

2. Under the Products menu, click on Find Your Favorite, and peruse Anne’s designs.

3. Then come back and leave a comment telling me which Anne Taintor piece is your favorite by caption. (One contest entry per reader, please.)

4. Promise you’ll come back and read She Just Had To Say It. I’m not above “buying traffic” y’all.

And VOILA – you’ll be entered to win a little bit more than, but, shhh, don’t tell hubby! $50 worth of my favorite Anne Taintor products. (I am happy to pay for shipping to U.S. Residents only. If you are outside the contingent U.S., you may enter, but need to agree to pay shipping costs via Paypal.)

As if this wasn’t enough of a big deal, y’all, Anne Taintor is READING YOUR COMMENTS!!! For real. So brag big on her, girls!

I must say this is MIGHTY BIG OF ME, dear reader. Because it is going to take all of the self-control that I don’t possess to keep from commenting a million times as “Anonymous” just so I can be the one to win the goods. Because, waaaaaaaaaaaah, I want to keep it all for myself.

Seriously, a winner (who won’t be me) will be chosen by a Random Number Generator.

Have at it, Anne Taintor fans.

And just in case you want to enter other Giveaways, click here.

But I wouldn’t know why you would, because nothing tops this prize, y’all.

I’m just sayin’.

I’ve always loved these! The site is not working for me right now but one I’ve always liked, hopefully it was authentic, says “Make your own damn dinner”…haha! And I have a diary that says “she had not yet decided whether to use her power for good or evil”…so appropriate! :)

Kari April 23, 2008 at 12:16 pm

I love them all! They are so fun and hysterical! Although it’s hard to choose only one favorite, I’ll go with – “If by happy you mean trapped with no chance of escape…..” Great website, I’ll definetly be back. Thanks!

Bodhi's Mom April 23, 2008 at 12:35 pm

I loved them all, but especially the :make your own damn dinner” I want that on a magnet for myhusband to see every day

That stuff is totally hilarious. I love “Together, we will OWN your grandparents.” So cute. And sure, I’ll come back!

I so love Anne Taintor. My favorite line, Maybe, I want to look cheap. I wish that she had this on a mug or messenger bag. I would so buy it.

I like “and to think that I’m only using one-tenth of my brain” in a magnet… for my office :)

Is it seriously possible to just choose one? They are ALL so clever and well written! I am a new fan of Anne Taintor…thank you for sending me her way!

Now, which one(s) would I choose…
just file it under “who cares”
there was nothing passive about her aggression
funny, i don’t recall asking for your opinion
remember sweetheart, mommy loves you, but she doesn’t have to like you

I of course will most definitely visit again…I just adore your blog!

I love “Together We Will Own Your Grandparents,” because my little nephew really does own my parents. Forget the kids, all they really wanted was grandkids!

pinkmommy April 23, 2008 at 6:09 pm

So funny! My favorite was “she had made yet another wise shopping decision”

SOOO hard to choose! I love “domestically disabled” and “remember sweetheart, mommy loves you but she doesn’t have to like you.” But really, they’re all great.

I’m in LOVE!

My favorite quote is, “she was one cocktail away from proving his mother right” – yes, in case you hadn’t guessed I do not live in the blissful world of InLaws that love me :)

Can I prove I was meant to win this prize (and read your blog, SO glad I found you!) by showing you mine…. http://beyondmom.com

Seriously, look at my style. I designed my blog. Well except for the actual images, I can’t draw like Redbook, sadly, or I’d be an artist. But my soul is crying out for this prize.

I hoist my martini glass to you True Soliloquy for bringing me to your blog as well as to you Anne Taintor, you are both amazing!

I laughed at so many of them they were so cute! I had trouble choosing just one. She could see no good reason to act her age compact is one of the many I liked.

And so many others!

I have to pick just one? I’ve loved her stuff for years! I really would love to see that magnetic note pad “You’ll eat it…you’ll eat it and like it!” on my fridge. Yes, I have four kids. Enough said.

fizzledink April 24, 2008 at 4:50 pm

Oh my gosh, I’m in LURVE!!! I had seen these around before, but never realized the artist behind them… holy smokes, I love this stuff! My top wishlist? The ID case that says “of course it buys happiness”… the magnet of a mother & baby that says “together we will OWN your grandparents”… the magnet of “you’ll eat it – you’ll eat it and LIKE it”… the “because I’m the Mother, that’s why” magnetic notepad…. AAAAAHHHHH! I can see why you don’t want to part with this giveaway package! :)

Oh my gosh you were right! I do Love Anne Taintor!!! I love everything vintage and this website is amazing!!! My fave, if I have to pick just one, “together, we will own your grandparents” because it is so true about my daughter!!

Diane April 24, 2008 at 8:35 pm

“If by ‘happy’ you mean trapped with no means to escape…? Then yes, I’m happy.”

So sarcastic, so me….love it, love it, love it.

Honorable mentions:

“The secret ingredient was resentment.”

“You’ll eat it and you’ll like it.”

“I dreamed my whole house was clean.”

“It seemed like such a good idea 12 months ago.”

Does anyone notice a recurring theme here?

Reply

Jessica April 24, 2008 at 10:27 pm

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her! I have the “make your own damn dinner” on my fridge!
I love the one that says “damn straight i keep score”
Hmmmm… trend there :)

I really like “I love not camping”.

nottryingforaboy April 24, 2008 at 11:15 pm

I’ve been a fan for a long time. I love her stuff. I belong to a few forums where people use her images as their avatars. They just crack me up and are absolutely PERFECT for how I feel at any given day. This is a great giveaway. Thanks so much!

It is so hard to pick a favorite because they are just all so applicable.

Love this- “she was comforted by the knowledge that they were helpless without her”

I would LOVE to have a calendar, but didn’t see any on the site.

How does Anne know me? I didn’t think I had ever met her but she has written words that have come straight from my mouth.

Especially “High maintenance doesn’t even begin to cover it.”
Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

The one I identify with most is “I dreamed my whole house was clean.” Now that would really be a dream for me. I also like, “Another day in paradise.” Third, I like “You’ll like it, you’ll like it and you’ll eat it.” I enjoyed reading about the models who posed for some of these ads.

Reply

Naomi April 25, 2008 at 2:50 am

Ooh, “Remember, Sweetheart, mommy has to love you but she doesn’t have to like you” is awesome for my vexing 4 year old…but “Do the words gifted and talented mean anything to you” is more versatile. And so is “She had no intention of suffering alone.” Tough call.

come enter my giveaways, too…

Jennifer April 25, 2008 at 2:56 am

My favorite by far is “she was one cocktail away from proving his mother right” Love it!
