Sharpie’s Creative Community

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all who entered. Congrats to #55 Mrs. Schmid. Have fun crafting!

I have to say that when I received this package of Sharpies below, my mind started churning with all the fun crafty ideas I would create. Sharpie, an M&T Sponsor, is one of my favorites for markers/pens/writing utensils. I love they are permanent, bright, and colorful. And little did I know when I received this package that they now make and sell FABRIC markers! What?! So many projects to be had with those.

For today I wanted to do a little decorating for Halloween. I just purchased these cute mini pumpkins and they needed a little dressing up. So of course I got out my new Sharpies and wrote some spooky words on them.

I’ve now placed these all over the house and feel a little more festive. Is your house decorate? How many pumpkins are displayed throughout your house?!

If you’re looking for more decorating or crafting ideas, head over to Sharpies Creative Community. There’s ideas for a floral checkbook case, zombie feet, and ink in pink for breast cancer awareness! Or upload your own creations to share with others! And today, one winner will receive a fun package from Sharpies in today’s giveaway, valued at $60. Wahoo!

  8. I love sharpies! I just saw the Sharpie Fabric Markers! So amazing, I need to get me some of those.

  27. I have always loved Sharpies, first as an elementary school teacher (posters, projects, etc) and now as a SAHM (personalizing, projects, etc) ;)

  30. I love SHARPIES in every color & size… Love the new Fabric ones!
    Thanks for all the ideas!!!!

  48. Sharpies also has some oil-based paint markers I can’t wait to try (Sharpie Oil-Based Medium Point Paint Markers, 5 Fashion Colored Markers (1770459) $11.87 Amazon )! I love Sharpies, and I’d love to win!

  60. i do not go anywhere without my sharpies! you will find them in home and office desks, diaper bags, purses, glove boxes. there is not much i do without them!

  62. I love sharpies even when they were first out and you had only black and one size. Now it is unlimited with colors types, sizes and uses.

  64. After leaving a long teaching career to begin homeschooling, I started teaching a crafts class for other homeschoolers in our area. These markers would be a great addition to my limited supplies.

  76. Found your site thru Pinterest….so fun!! I love Sharpies too….would love to win….thanks for giving us the chance :)

  82. I love using Sharpie’s….I use them on so many things that need a permanent marker, plus I create greeting cards and they are fabulous to use. My husband likes to use them too! (smiles)

  86. Oh no… My wife is obsessed with these. She’d be so excited if I could win these for her!
    Thanks.

  93. We use Sharpies for everything…even for writing on kids’ bodies for swim meets during the summer!

  97. Ours is a sharpie family, we use all sharpie pens .. i love the way they work and last long. Hope i could win this, my kids will be very happy..

  100. I am Sharpie addicted, so this would be great to replace some of the ones on their last bit of ink.

  122. I love Sharpies! So excited they now make fabric markers – oh the possibilities!

  138. Thank you for the giveaway. We love Sharpies! My son just decorated his shoes with Sharpies for a school project.

  152. ohhhhh…I have a serious crush on Sharpies! Can a girl ever really have enough? Would love to win!

  157. Oh awesome about the fabric Sharpies. I gave up a long time ago buying any other brand of marker because they always dried up and stopped working so quickly. I LOVE Sharpies.

  158. I’ve been wanting to buy some Sharpies recently, but just haven’t been able to with the extra $ needed for all of the “recently back to school” activites. Would LOVE to win!

  160. I love Sharpies products! My daughter will especially be excited about the fabric Sharpies!!

  164. Ooooh I hope I win so I can bring these to work! I run an after school program for at-risk kids, and they would have so much fun making t-shirts and decorating their journals!

  172. Being a ‘lefty’, I have always adored markers that dry quickly. As a crafter, I appreciate pens that can write on anything & not come off. Where does that leave me? IN LOVE WITH SHARPIES!!!

  176. It’s about time Sharpie expanded their line. The old black marker was the standard, but most of us need more color (think of it as “more cowbell” for paper products!

  189. I would love this. I am the new creative activities person for my MOPS group, and we have used Sharpies a lot already. :)

  191. I subscribe to your blog through google reader. I love that it shows up right after you post so I don’t have to go searching or forget to check for new posts.

  193. Sharpies are one of my favorite things! There isn’t anything that you can’t sharpie and you can’t ever have too many of them!

  196. I am a teacher so I love Sharpies. Currently I am teaching a home bound autistic student. The Sharpie gift pack would come in handy with all the projects we do. Thanks.

  202. I LOVE Sharpie–I use the Ultra Fine point for all my scrapbook journaling now.

  219. I would love to have a bag of awesome to share with my 3 teen and college daughters! I know we could create tons of exciting “gifts of encouragement” for those in each of our lives. We love to create and give! And what better time to do that than the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, when they will all be home together. :-)

  228. What cute ideas! I could use these for decorating so many things… thanks for the giveaway!

  262. Love, Love, Love my sharpies. Have 5 kids and need them for projects to labeling to crafts! Could not survive without them :)

  267. Wowza, we would love to win this great prize. My boys prefer using sharpies to washable markers (ugh, but I can’t blame them because I do too!).

  277. I subscribe via rss (and my product misspelling in the previous post is a reflection of my terrible spelling, not an unfamiliarity with Sharpie!)
