Carolina Pad review and giveaway....(ENDED)

http://carolinapad.com/

Carolina Pad sent us their complete Dreamsicle Collection which consisted of binders, notebooks, journals, composition books, folders, tab dividers, and more. This was WAY MORE than what I was expecting to receive from them to review. They are so generous. What I am most excited to say about the Dreamsicle Collection it was:

 created by Carolina Pad (www.carolinapad.com) and 

designed by JACK!E (www.jackiemcfee.com)

 to benefit 

Girls on the Run International (www.girlsontherun.org).

I gave this whole collection to my daughter who absolutely loves it!!

I personally have quite a bit of the items from the 'Pattern Play' and 'Eye Candy' collections!!

All of the Carolina Pad products that I have and have ever tried have been of excellent quality and I often buy them and give them as gifts. I would recommend this brand to anyone and everyone, who is not only looking for stylish and adorable writing products, but also those of great quality!!

I have folders from them that I have had for quite some time, and they aren't even beginning to fall apart in the middle like so many of my folders do. With other brands, I so often end up taping the folder together or just discarding them and buying new. With Carolina Pad brand, I have never had this problem :)

I want to share a little about how Carolina Pad got started!!

This comes directly from their website.

How It All Started The Carolina Pad story begins in 1945 in Charlotte, North Carolina. That’s when Joseph K. Hall Jr. and several business associates managed to scrape up enough money and equipment to launch a school supply manufacturing company. Joe had been operating Hall & Morris, a school supply wholesale business in Belmont, North Carolina. The new company, Carolina Pad, offered composition books, notebook paper, primary tablets, pencils, crayons, and other school supplies. A former teacher, principal, and coach, Joe was excited by the new company’s offerings. 

Carolina Pad continued to sell school supplies in the market formerly serviced by Hall & Morris. But since it was now in the manufacturing business, Carolina Pad had a lot more products to sell. To get an edge over larger, more established counterparts, Joe sold products directly to schools in the Carolinas and Virginia — often out of the back of his truck!
