Yep that’s right, I am excited to host a giveaway of the upcoming + much talked about Holiday with Matthew Mead! This publication is interesting for so many reasons. First off it is done by the talented and wonderful Mr Matthew Mead. Many people know his name and adore his work. I am a huge fan and have been for years! And I hear he is the nicest person! Second this is not just a holiday magazine with the same old ideas. So much work has gone into this magazine to make it unique and fresh, it is really more of a book than just magazine! In fact, that is what they call it…a book-azine! Read more here. Matthew’s vision is so awesome. He has included many bloggers in projects,in fact Linda of Restyled Home is the executive editor. This is her fresh and gorgeous dining room below. Can you believe that light?! I can’t wait to see more of her home.
{so fresh…not your usual red and green and dark colors!}
So it is going to be a special read, packed with great ideas and joy. BUT HERE IS THE THING….YOU CAN NOT PURCHASE THIS ON NEWSTANDS! Only through the Holiday with Matthew Mead website. YOU MUST PRE-ORDER and will then receive your copy in the mail.
So be sure and check out the website to find out more AND be sure and leave a comment telling me if you have heard about this project and if you are interested in a copy! I will be giving away a copy to one of my lucky readers! The giveaway will close on Friday so be sure and leave a comment. Now is the time to de-lurk!

I have heard of this project, and as holiday-crazy as I get in December I am very excited to see the finished copy!
Comment by Molly — October 25, 2010 @ 7:47 am
I am new to your site! I heard about you from a client of yours. The Matthew Mead “book” sounds great. I like to treat myself to one new Christmas ideas book/magazine each fall. Then I go through and try to figure what is attainable in the limited time constrains.

Oh, I would love to have a copy! So many good ideas to “ooh” and “aah” over!

I still have a dogeared clipping of Matthew Mead’s kitchen redo in my file. I head about his holiday project over at The Lettered Cottage.
By the way, I especially enjoy your ideas for little boys (parties, decor…). It’s hard to find good inspiration, but not when I’m on your blog.:)

I love Matthew Mead and keep a couple of his “bookazines” on my nightstand for late night inspiration. I haven’t pre-ordered Holidays yet so I hope I get lucky. On another note, I just saw your work on Hyacinth’s room over at The Pioneer Woman. Wow! You did an amazing job. What talent.

Hey Holly! Thanks for the daily dose of inspiration! I would absolutely LOVE a copy of this “book-azine” to show up in my mailbox…even better than the 1986 Sears Wishbook! And I promise not to “dog-ear” a single page.

Comment by LLH Designs — October 25, 2010 @ 8:34 pm
Some of my favorite card designs for clients are the ones with cool, icey blues. Of course I’ve got plenty of the red and green types, but pale blues and olive greens are so refreshing!
xo,
Linsey

I would LOVE a copy! I first heard about him from Nie.
We will be moving during Christmas so no decorating this year (which I’m kind of bummed about). I will have to live vicariously through others.

Comment by Jane Beckenham — October 27, 2010 @ 9:55 pm
Down under, Christmas is so different. It’s beaches and barbecues, surfing and sunshine, but still we love to decorate and you’ll still see ‘fake’ snow on shop windows, a decorating tradition passed down from our forebears. In my house it’s a major deal deciding on our color theme and decorating our 2 trees. I’d love a copy of this book, giving me different ideas for a differnt type of Christmas downunder.
Jane in New Zealand.
