Melt Down Monday Giveaway

Comments are closed on this giveaway!
It's Monday again. Really, I have mixed feelings about Mondays. On one hand I love the 'fresh start' feeling, like a mini New Year every week. And I kinda like the feeling of getting back to work (which makes the insane assumption a mama is ever not working, but let me fool myself, OK?). But, on the other hand, it's Monday! I gotta get back to it and there's always a lot of meltdowns on Monday. I like to call it 'Meltdown Monday'.
So, to counter 'Meltdown Monday' and give this day a boost, I am offering a little giveaway. Who knows, I may go a bit mad and make it a regular thing. But don't bet on it.
Seven little gnomes all in a row. If you really just have to know all the details you can check them out here. But, right now I can sense another melt down coming on (perhaps my own), so I'm not going to write them all out here. You get them all, or you can give them to a kid in throws of a Monday meltdown and brighten their Monday.
OK, so to enter leave me a comment. You can let me know how your Monday is going or, better yet, tell me how you beat the dreadful Meltdown Monday or just say hi. Whatever.

For additional entries;
(leave a separate comment for each entry, if you don't, they count as one)

And now I will go back to refereeing . Oh,happy Monday!

So cute, I love your little gnomes! :)
My little nephew, who would be the ultimate benificiary of said gnomes should I win, is the ultimate cure for anyone's Meltdown Monday... or Tuesday... or any day. Even when lil' Arthur is throwing a very rare fit, it makes you want to laugh at how absurdley adorable his most horrible moments are. He is really a blessing to our entire family.

They really can be quite comical, can't they. sometimes I just have to try so hard not to laugh because they are sooo serious. :-)

My Monday is.. ugh. My youngest has a fever (and has since 5am Sunday). My middle son drank my mint-tarragon soda and is now riding a sugar high. My oldest is Mr Cranky Pants. But as least my husband is home to help keep me from sitting in a corner muttering to myself.
Hi there, developing in a bit of a stalker, aren't I ;-). Do love your blog and your work, though. And admire so much what you're doing all on your own (basically). Flu-y greetings from South Africa!

I'm in the midst of my own meltdown, so I'm thrilled to see your giveaway. Thanks for the chance!
Well, this Monday is better than last Monday was, so I guess that's a start :)
Tweeted!
Love this & (as always) your post, Julie! You always plant some thought into my mind that's a treasure -- this time it was the thought of "like New Year every week!" :D

Am retweeting, putting on FB, etc., but don't put me into the drawing for the darling little gnomies 'cause I know others have WAY more deserving recipients for them. :D
Hey :-), I usually hate mondays. I´d rather like to start the week with tuesdays...tueasday are brighter to me, like the colour yellow...filled with more sunshine. Why? Don´t know, ha ha. This monday was not bad at all...because I had a day off from work, jippie! :-) Spent it with my husband and my daughters. We just enjoyed the nice wather in our garden...I washed some clothes and hang it outside, so the sun could dry it (Love that!). Later on we went to the playground and had a veeery long walk...because we "just wanted to see whats behind the next corner"...and behind the next one...and the next...lol. This way we found an ice store and got 4 icecreams, yummy. In the evening we had a barbeque (no meat for me, but all I had was yummy :-)). So this monday was very nice to me. Tomorrow is my "real monday"...because work starts again and I am really NOT in the mood for it...not after such a great and lazy monday. :-)
great giveaway! I love the "meltdown monday" concept. the only thing worse is the Monday after vacation.
Today was a total Monday meltdown day for my 2 year old! For some reason, it was a baaad day. Tomorrow is tuesday, perhaps we will have better luck.
I love your gnomes. So sweet.
Facebooked the giveaway too!
Our Monday was an usual Monday. For now Papa has school in the afternoon but stays with us on the morning which is very great for sleep deprived mamas. Also today my 3yr old decided she had enough at 5h30pm and went to bed on her own. So I guess I won't stay up long and be better prepare myself for a Tuesday that starts early...

I love those gnomes and I know Mariann would cherish all those little gnomes!
I've had a super Monday... my eldest still has 2 days of school before summer break but my littlest finished last Friday, so it was just the two of us at home today... was a special day, we worked together, sang together and told stories together... it's not often that we get alone time together and so today was an extra special day.
Your gnomes are tooooooooooo adorable!!
Blessings and magic,
Donni
I know it's Tuesday now, but anyways...our Monday included a dose of grandparent withdrawal following a full day of grandparent doting. Not too melty, just a little...but definitely a bit longer after four extra hands and ears to listen to the two little ones :-) I think these gnomes would be a perfect Meltdown Monday Moodshifter :-)
i love your sweet gnomes! what a treat it would be to have something made by your hands. thanks for the offer and good luck with the rest of days meltdowns! .)
what a treat these would be! sometimes mondays are easier than thursdays for us, but since everyone was out with a cold this monday we're hoping for a good thursday!
I love your little gnomes, they are so adorable!
What a fun way to combat meltdown monday. :-) I just love these gnomes. FIngers crossed!!
Although it's Thursday now, it feels like Monday, thanks to traveling on Tuesday and my hubby taking Wednesday off. So far the only person who's had a Monday Meltdown is me, who got a bit overwrought during lunch when certain small people got whiny and demanding... but we're better now. For now. Anyway, I'd love to have some little gnomes to pull out on tough days!

My how cute! I think this a delightful way to make a Monday delightful for another! :)
