Thanks to you giveaways

Hello all! How was your weekend? I’ve been working on a fairly big project that I can’t WAIT to show you. It involved some tiling and a tile saw – my first time using one and I must say it was SO easy (and fun?) to use! I will show you the finished product next week.

This week I’m taking the time off to be with my family, so I have something special planned for all you Squeezies. ;) I wanted to give thanks to you all and do something fun – I certainly wouldn’t be here writing this blog and having a blast doing it if it weren’t for all of you. I truly, truly appreciate you, your kind comments and your sweet emails. I’m so grateful to be doing this – my dream job!

To thank you, this week I’ll be posting a few giveaways – the last of the year – throughout the week. There will be a few a day through Wednesday and then one on Friday (from one of my favorites). So check back often to see what free stuff YOU could win! It’s going to RULE. ;)

First, I need to announce a few winners from recent giveaways. I have emailed those who won the Dave Ramsey books and packets, so check your email if you haven't yet! I was overwhelmed by the response – more than 1,200 of you responded and I SO WISH I could get something to each and every one of you. 

The other winners are:

Tomboy Tools giveaway winner -- Sherri at sherri_51(at)hotmail(dot)com

EvgieNev giveaway winner -- Liz at airforcewife624(at)hotmail(dot).com

Ladies, please email me and I’ll get you in touch with your winnings!

(I have condensed all of the Thanksgiving week giveaways into one post – check them all out below!)

OK, onto our first (fabulous!) giveaway – the lovely folks at Kirkland’s contacted me offering to give one of you something and of course I said YES PLEASE!

They have a new line of AWESOME lamps, here are a few of my favorites:

Aren’t they beautiful? And all under $50 – including the shade!

They sent me the Beehive Table lamp you saw back in this post:

It was crazy how that worked out – I was looking for just the right one for that spot, even spray painted a couple I already had, and nothing was looking right. Then this arrived and it’s perfect! :) I LOVE it.

The Kirkland’s folks are giving away $50 for one of you to spend as you wish at their store (now available online!).

This time I’m showing off one of my advertisers, Dimples and Dandelions:

They carry some of the cutest, most beautiful items for babies and kiddos – but some of their items (like their lighting) could be used in any room in your home.

Because it drives me batty that it’s like pulling teeth to find truly cute boy clothes, I had to show off these Christmas tees:

Aren’t they adorable?!

And of course, they have an amazing selection of baby and girl clothing, art, furniture, rugs and the most adorable bedding options:

Love it!

The Dimples and Dandelions folks are giving away $100 for one of you to spend as you wish at their store!

I’m VERY excited to announce that I’m giving one of you a ticket to the Haven Conference next summer!:

Whoohoo!! We are so thrilled to meet so many of you! The conference is open to both DIYers and bloggers alike, so if you don’t win, I hope you can still join us!

The conference ticket is a $199 value – can’t wait to see who wins!

A few weeks ago the folks at Old Time Pottery contacted me to let me know about their latest promotion. Now through December 15, they are offering five lucky customers a $1,000 gift card to use at OTP – go here for more info.

And then they wanted to give something to one of you. So I said, well…Okaaaaay. If you must. ;)

I took a trip there myself (it had been a while since my last trip) and found some AWESOME goodies:

Do you recognize that fabric? For only $5 a yard? GAH! You are kidding me!

I love this place – it’s crazy HUGE and the selection is fantastic!

The Old Time Pottery peeps are giving away $50 for one of you to spend as you wish at their store!

The peeps at MirrorMate have an awesome product that is SO easy to install:

They make custom frames for your mirrors – pretty much any size, for any space. The selection is fantastic!:

Last month I showed you more about MM and how we transformed my friend’s mirror with a black frame:

I can’t believe the different it makes!

MirrorMate is giving away $150 towards any of their frames to one of you!

And until December 7th, there’s a 15 percent off sale on ALL frames! Whoo!

Hey hey! I’m back today with two more fabulous giveaways! WHOO! (To see what the heck I’m talking about with these giveaways, go here.)

I discovered Hometalk last month and have fallen in love with it!:

It’s a fantastic home improvement resource for any homeowner (or anyone who likes to decorate!) Hometalk is a great site to ask questions and share advice:

You can get lost on there for hours…trust me, I know. ;)

The HomeTalk folks are giving away $50 to Target for one of you! Yay! You can pick up some Christmas presents, decor, or maybe a little somethin’ for you?

************************************************************

We’ve got one more coming up this weekend, but for now, we’ll wrap up Wednesday with a fabulous giveaway from one of my lovely advertisers, Back 40 Life:

They sell a huge selection of vinyl decals and signs and have recently added picture frames, 3D words/initials as well as glass pieces and corn hole sets. (How fun is that?!)

The possibilities are endless! (These would make for GREAT handmade Christmas gifts!)

Back 40 Life is giving away $50 for one of you to spend as you wish at their online store!

All giveaways are now closed! Thanks for the awesome response! (Winners were announced here.)
