CSN Giveaway

I’m sooo excited to be offering my first blog giveaway…


A stunning $65 gift certificate for any CSN Store.


If I won, I would buy a Drop leaf table from them – they have a gorgeous selection.  I need a new kitchen table and I really like that these can be quickly and easily made to seat more people!


You may not realize that CSN stores includes more than 200 stores!  These include cookware.com, allmodern.com, and more.  Anything you might want to buy can probably be had at a CSN Store.


Rules:  The giveaway ends on Sunday, October 31 at 11:00pm (EST) and is open to US and Canadian entrants only.   I’ll pick a winner from the comments using a random number generator.  The more entries, the more chances to win!!


Entries:  There’s lots of ways to gain entries to this giveaway, but first you have to be a follower of this blog.  


1.  Leave me a comment letting me know you are a follower!

2.  Leave a comment telling me which of my posts is your favorite or most memorable.

3.  Share this giveaway on facebook (and leave a comment telling me so).  Sharing buttons are at the end of the post.

4.  Tweet this giveaway (and leave a comment).

5.  Become a facebook fan (facebook button at the top of the blog), and leave a comment.




OK, Good Luck – wish I could win – I’m so glad one of you will!!!!

    I am so inspired by your postings. As a woman, wife and mother you have shown all the other woman that it not only possible to incorporate what you love in your life, but you do it successfully! Thank you for being real and showing the pros and cons of each project. What would life be if we could not put our dreams into action? Give your self a pat on the back for me as you raise your wonderful young boys and find time to be you!
    I also love to create, but it is usually in the fiber area. When I do get out my power tools for something, I am wishing for a girlie tool belt! What about you? I am thinking I need to make one!

    I loved your vintage suitcase finds. I was a wee bit jealous because they're awesome. No matter. I also love it when you encourage others to make their own stuff. Yes, we should all make stuff. I know how I feel when I do things myself. I feel a bit puffy and cool. I think most stuff made at home will be at least as good as what you can buy anywhere. I think stuff made at home by perfectionists (and face it so many of us are pretty doggone hard on ourselves) will be way better than most anything we can buy at any price.

    My favorite post of yours wasn't that long ago, I don't even remember specifically what it was about, other than the bookshelves you've been working on. I found it through a link on another blog. It's my favorite because I remember being amazed that a regular gal and mom knew so much about building things and wasn't afraid to get in there and do it. It inspired me to start tackling all those projects I've wanted to do for years, but always been afraid I would mess up. I'm guessing you weren't born knowing how to build all this stuff, and I realized that if you could learn how to build the things you do, so can I!

    I really LOVE your curtain headboard post. It is so dramatic yet soft. We need a new one, and I love your idea!
