FrogTape Giveaway Winner

The winner of a goody bag from FrogTape is #71, Nichole! Congratulations, and a big thanks to everyone who entered.

Giveaway!

The nice folks at FrogTape have a package for one lucky reader! I gave it a try in February when I painted windows and was very pleased. I'll be calling on its paint block technology again soon to help me paint the crown in our bedroom -- should be fun!

If you'd like a few rolls of your own (and a few fun goodies!) leave one comment on this post by Friday, April 23, 2010 at midnight Central Time telling us what you would do with it. One winner will be chosen at random. Good luck!

Day 793: pretty photos and a winner

Congratulations to our Diptyque candle giveaway winner, Vanessa! Who I see -- after a quick peek at her blog -- is a fellow Auburn grad, fitting since Auburn football begins this week (and will take over our lives, as it does every fall).


War Eagle, and congratulations Vanessa. And a big, big thank you to everyone who entered.

Aren't these photos (from Town and Country magazine) delightful? I can't stop staring, and find something new each time I look.

Day 788's giveaway!

This giveaway has closed, thank you for your interest!

We're very excited to announce a giveaway with Revival Uncommon Goods, a wonderful shop in Chattanooga we first visited in April.


Maybe you have seen a Diptyque candle on the pages of your favorite magazine? Or read about a certain discerning celebrity who insists that her dressing rooms be outfitted exclusively with Diptyque? Or that Parisian designer John Galliano chose Diptyque as the company to create his signature scent "marrying marrying myrrhe and firewood scents."

One hundred percent natural essential oils are mixed with wax and hand-poured to create the lush candles with braided-cotton wicks. Diptyque is Revival's most sought-after fragrance collection -- they even spray all of their gifts and packages with Diptyque's parfum d’ambiance -- and today they are offering a special-edition green-fig scented candle to one of you, our lovely readers.

To enter, leave a comment on this post (if you do not have a blog, please leave an e-mail address) by 9pm Eastern time on Friday, August 28, 2009.

Good luck, and a big thank you to Rodney at Revival for a lovely giveaway!

Day 709's winner!

Congratulations to Mary Grace, the winner of our Olympic Paint giveaway! Mary Grace, please e-mail me so we can get you your paint and you can get to work painting your kitchen! And a big, big thanks to everyone who participated in our first giveaway. It's nice to know that we're not the only ones with seemingly-endless to-do lists, and it was even nicer to hear from some of you "lurkers" for the first time. We hope you'll say hello again soon.

Day 704's giveaway!

As you know, we've been working on our guest bedroom, and -- as with any project -- the decision that really had me tossing and turning was choosing a paint color for the walls. In the end, I decided on Blue Shamrock by Olympic Paint, and had it mixed in their fabulous zero-VOC formula. I'm very pleased with the outcome (that's a little sneak peek, above), but man, what a pain choosing a paint color can be!

That's why I'm so thrilled to announce that the folks at Olympic have offered one of you two free gallons of zero-VOC paint in your choice of color and finish. To help you choose, they're including a Colors of Inspiration book, full of every color they offer. To enter for your chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post letting us know what you would do with the paint. Please enter by midnight EST on Friday, June 5 to be eligible. We'll draw a winner, and announce it on Monday. Good luck, and happy painting!
