We've been doing Inspiration Boxers for a couple years, and they are the most popular Boxer series we've ever done. Linda is getting ready to design the group of 3, and would like to know what sayings YOU are looking for!
Several of the existing Inspiration Boxers already use sayings that you have submitted, like the ones above. Many of you have sent us ideas via email, and sadly, much of our saved email was lost in a recent computer glitch. Bummer!
If you're not familiar with the Inspiration Boxer series, here's a link so you can view the ones we already have done. Not all of the designs on this page are Boxers...just look for the inventory numbers that begin with "B" for Boxer.
http://lizziekate.com/inspirational.html
Ready? Here's how it works!
We're looking for sayings for the next group of 3 Inspiration Boxers. Submit your ideas until March 9. Multiple sayings may be submitted. We'll choose our 10 favorites (with a little help from our friends) and post them on the L*K blog.
Then for the next week or so, you can VOTE for your favorite inspirational sayings. We'll give prizes to everyone who makes the "Top 10" list and more goodies to the 3 big winners. The Top 10 list will all receive new Inspiration Boxers (and other goodies) and the 3 "big" winners will receive Inspiration Boxers and an additional $50 of Lizzie*Kate designs of their choice.
HOW TO ENTER:
Leave a comment on this page with your favorite saying. If it is attributed to someone, please leave the source. We recommend that your saying be 20 words or less. It's hard to work longer sayings into the Inspiration Boxer format - the fabric has to fit in the Boxer box! Most of our Inspiration sayings are only 12-15 words long...so we can make them look pretty.
NOTE: Our blog comments are moderated, so there will be a gap between the time you write a comment and it actually appears. No need to resend! We are just editing out SPAM and junk so only valid comments appear.
REQUIRED:
You MUST include your email address in the comment form. We'll need it to contact you if you should win.
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT NAMES:
Sunday, March 9 at 11:59 Central Time (Gee, that sounds official!)
FINE PRINT:
No purchase necessary to enter. All entries received after the giveaway closing day and time will not be considered. Winners will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to confirm receipt of the email. Giveaways will be mailed to the winners' homes.
Thanks for your help! We really look forward to hearing from you and reading your favorite inspirational sayings. Let the inspirational sharing begin!!!
Ooh! My favorite is "Always kiss me goodnight". I'll be thinking of more! Thanks for the fun contest!

ReplyDeleteYears ago, my dear friend Lisa was standing outside a market with our boys who were selling BSA popcorn. It was really cold and the shopkeeper bought all the boys hot chocolate. Lisa insisted she pay for it but the shopkeeper said to her "Please, let me do this. I want to. It makes me happy. Be a gracious reciever". Lisa came out and told me this and she and I have both used this phrase so many times since. It really stuck with me and it's true. Give generously of yourself but allow others to give to you. It's good for everyone's heart and soul.
