C. Wonder - Giveaway!

Yes...I did it again.  Changed the words to Britney's song?...yes, and I went shopping for both of us.  It's really Mother Nature's fault. If the weather was warm, I would be outside. See how that works? I have no responsibility in any of this.....husband that doesn't read my blog.
Let's get to the good part. 
This is what I picked up for me

And this is what I picked up for you
Navy & gold bangles.

Yes, I got us the same ones.

Here's what mine look like on (remember, I'm much older than you)

They have that great "clang" sound that I love.

Want to win the set of bangles?

Procrastination Updates

Last month, I shared with you how I updated my DIY's & Featured page. As I mentioned, it was incredibly time consuming....almost as bad as installing crown molding. Well, last week my daughter had the Flu...the real one...the one that causes the entire family to go on Tamiflu. Since I was home-bound, I decided to update the Garden & My Home pages. 
I think the Clorox bleach wipes made me high. 

I used the same program that I used for the DIY's page. The program is no longer free. It reminds me how our cable company gave us free boxes for all our tv's....it won't be long before they charge us for each box....now that we're hooked on them like caffeine. 
This is a sample of the page

Let's face it, garden pictures look better than DIY pictures. 

The My Home page has some of the areas I have shown you, and will continue to grow over time.

I also forgot to tell you about this adorable necklace I won. It was a giveaway from the Tiptoe Butterfly. 

It came from World Vision. That makes it is extra special to me. 

I'm counting this as my January Project Procrastination....Finish the Unfinished. I'll be pinning it to the board. Oh wow, I just noticed that some people are really getting things done and pinned.
Have you joined in? Do you want to?

Schumacher Fabric Giveaway!

**Update, congratulations, Tammy!**

Day 4 of the New Year....and I'm still on track with my goals. I think this is a personal best. 
I have a nice size home with more than enough storage. My problem...too much STUFF. I can't find what I want when I need it, and as Suze Orman says "Clutter costs you money". Cliff notes: how many times have you bought something, only to find out that you already had it? That black turtleneck, olive oil, upholstery tack strips (not you?), a drill bit in that size (still not you?)...you get it.
I'm cleaning it out.  Remember my fabric hoarding collection?

I managed to organize it when I built shelves in my basement

I still have too much stuff. So....It's...
Schumacher Fabric Giveaway Time!
3 1/2 yards of  "Chinese Rustic"

I used it on this Tobi Fairley inspired chair. Tobi...call me!
The fabric has several vignette's

And since the color is changing in every photo....I have swatched the background color for you

It's between BM Geranium and Red Parrot. On the orange side, not red.

You could make an array of pillows like this

Cover a chair

Make a Roman Shade

Or, hold onto it for a really long time, and then offer it as a giveaway.

Giveaway Scavenger Hunt Style

Yesterday, I told you about my shopping experience at Sequin, and left you with me feeling sad. The reason I was feeling sad was because...it was like drinking the perfect cocktail....alone. Know what I mean?

Finding the most fabulous....whatever.....is only better when you can share it. So, I went back into the store and picked up these three beauties for one of YOU!

I actually had help from the much younger sales girl.

I told her I wanted something EVERYONE would want.

Cream, gold & navy

Want it?

 Here is my idea of fun.....I hid this giveaway on a very stylish blog. She is a friend of mine. If you can figure out who that is....you can enter the giveaway!

The giveaway is on HER blog!

It's a scavenger hunt style giveaway. 

Before you go....tell me where you are headed. If you find it, you can come back and leave a comment telling the others.

Now, I am HAPPY!

iPhone Case Giveaway!

**This contest has ended**
This was so unexpected and so cool! You know the saying...."no good deed goes unpunished"?  Well... not today!

This is a pink one...bad back-lighting in this image.

Remember when I told you about my iPhone 5? I'm still not sure if I love it. I also forgot to order this case

Well, I totally forgot about it because I became busy with painting a rug of my own and re-sizing a rug for my friend, Jennifer. 

And then....just like that....I got this in the mail

YUP, she sent me a case to say thanks for the rug. But that's not to totally cool shocking surprise...
She wants me to give one away to one of you!!
Take your pick....

Any style in an iPhone Case....doesn't have to be the 5. How do you enter? 1. Be a GFC follower of my blog....1 comment 2. Follow me on Pinterest.....1 comment 3.

Fall Display

****Update, this giveaway is over...here is the winner***
Thanks for coming back and checking in on my progress with my Mum's The Word challenge. If you missed the first post, you can go here.
Remember Lowe's has sponsored me to get creative with chrysanthemum's.  I hate waiting for the reveal...don't you?
Here is what my entry looks like now

That's me in the pink reflecting in the door. Now let me show you how I put this together. 
I had these old baskets in the garage

A little black and white paint and now they look like this

A hollowed out foam pumpkin painted white, on the right.

Then I decided to get a bit more creative. I picked up a stencil with some small interesting shapes

Blue paint, a stencil brush....and now I have this

A Ginger Jar pumpkin. It's that touch of whimsy that makes me smile.

A fresh new doormat

But the one thing...if I had to pick just one....that make's me so happy
Is saying goodbye to this

The transformation of this ugly threshold is here. 
A few more mum's and pumpkin's, and cabbage, and gourd's, and pepper's...

And my front went from this

To this
