Carolina Pad Paper Goods Review and Giveaway

I love to write and ever since I was a little girl I coveted all types of stationery products and paper goods. I always requested stationery sets and notebooks and pens for Christmas and my birthday. I had pen pals galore. When I got older and moved away from home, I would write to everyone I knew. At college, I had notebooks and folders for everything. Suffice it to say, I love any type of office supplies and paper goods. To this day, I often write my reviews or blog in a notebook and then type it in. So when I was offered the opportunity to review products from Carolina Pad and I said YES!

The items I received were notebooks and folders. I took one notebook with me on my Mexico trip so I wouldn't forget anything and have notes for my blog. I love the other notebooks but my favorite item was the Hot Chocolate Organizational folder. It has 8 double-sided pockets. It holds all my notes and they don't fall out. I also like that they have a wonderful line of "Green" products called Sasquatch. I am all about greening up the world and these items made mostly from plant and recycled pulp materials are not only great for the environment but look good too.

Carolina Pad has so many types and styles of office supplies to offer. Founded in 1945, their core philosophy is "service, reliability, and quality at a fair price.” They expanded the business in 2000 by introducing office and school products with a fashionable flair. And fashionable they are. There are so many cool styles, it's hard to pick just one. Besides being able to find these products at the Carolina Pad website you can find the supplies at major retailers like Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Amazon and Staples among others. Trust me, these are well worth it!

So would you like to have some of these wonderfully, fashionable and cool products? Well, you can. The nice people at Carolina Pad are offering one of my readers a set of their own. I am so jealous because the set includes a journal, mouse pad, magnets, pens, notebooks, laptop tote and so much more. This is one awesome giveaway! I wish I could enter it myself!! The winner will be able to choose from their Simply Chic or Eye Candy sets. WOW!!! The sets are worth over $150.
