A Big Thank You GIVEAWAY
November 9, 2009
A little something happened today that calls for a celebration. So glad we have a leftover bottle of champagne from last night’s birthday party, because I am just completely elated and overjoyed. What happened you might ask ?
On my Statcounter, this site just registered over two million pageviews. Two million ! In nine months ! Holy guacamole Batman ! My little ol’ brain is spinning just thinking about it. I am so very grateful to those of you who read about my adventures in DIY and decorating.
Hip hip hooray !
So with a thankful heart, and an attitude of gratitude, I’d like to offer two lucky winners (two million = two winners) a special prize. Two readers can either 1) choose any item in my Etsy shop that is listed under $40, and I’ll ship it to you free, or 2) receive a $40 dollar gift certificate to Amazon. Your choice. Two winners !
Eligibility? Just say something nice in a comment. One entry per person please. No need to tweet, or blog about it. Let’s just keep this to you regular readers. Giveaway ends Thursday November 12th at 8 p.m. PST. Both winners chosen by Random.org.
And from the bottom of my heart, a big thank you.
More Announcements:
I’ve already received some excellent submissions for Guest Blogger Week, starting November 23rd. So many great ideas, we may have to start the event early !
I hope you’ll join me in the December 8th Parade of Ornaments where we all show off our holiday baubles. What a great day to give us a tour of your mantle, tablescape, or Christmas tree. We’ll use MckLinky in order to promote some blog hopping. Mark your calendar !
In CG creative news, I came up with a unique interpretation of an Advent Calendar – look for that this week.
And since we all love free goodies, there is still time to enter the Lisa Leonard jewelry giveaway, which ends Tuesday November 10th at 8 p.m. PST. Click here to enter.
Whew, that’s a lot going on around here. These pretzels announcements are making me thirsty (… for my fellow Seinfeld fans). Now where is that bottle of champagne ?

I enjoy your blog so much. How exciting to have so many hits already… CONGRATS! Thanks for the giveway, but mostly thanks for all the inspiration!!
I’ve loved reading your blog over the last few months. Seeing your “centastional” transformations has opened my eyes to the potentially beautiful pieces that hide on craigslist and at the thrift stores.
Thank you for the extra mula in my wallet and the extra design in my house!
Congratulations! I love your website! I just stumbled upon it last week and I’ve already started three projects of yours! (Jewelry Tree, spray painting project and refinishing book shelves into entertainment center!) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Keep up the amazing work!
Congratulations on hitting 2 million! Even though I only just discovered your blog recently, I now read your blog daily. Thank YOU for all your wonderful ideas and inspirations!
I LOVE this website! I look at it (probably daily) when my 3 month old is sleeping! That’s a lie: I make him sit with me sometimes so I can look at it! You are incredibly talented and I have even purchased some tools and paint of my own for projects I would like to do one day when I get more than 3 hours of sleep! Thank you for inspiring so many!
I became a follower the very first time I stumbled upon your blog. I so love seeing what you’re up to, and am so excited when I see a new post. Congrats on the two million pageviewers. You are awesome.
