All righty, you people are amazing! Everyone has helped me think about this yard sale/ebay/craigslist thing so much! I decided to be all daring and list a few things on ebay just for the fun of it. Here's a picture of what is listed so far and here's the link if you really want to see it up close and in your face.
I really am gonna wreck ebay completely up. I DO NOT have the patience to write a big long wordy essay about this junk. I figure if someone likes it, they'll bid. Everything starts at 99 cents because I'm so fair and all. If you notice, that scale that you all got hot and bothered about isn't with the group. My sweet husband is apparently more attached to it than I knew. Maybe next year.
I don't think I'm gonna have a yard sale now because our neighborhood stinks for sales and I hate to break it to you and look like a looser but, I only have about 5 friends here. Plus my mom. My mom's neighborhood had their sale 3 weeks ago and my other 4 friends all live in the same HUGE hood and of course, their sale was last week but I scored big time there! So, if that isn't enough to depress you with my friend situation I will tell you now that YOU are my friends. I hope you are not all robots.
Can someone please tell me what this is called and if it has any value? I want to list it and I've never used it I just remember that I think I bought it on the scrapbook isle. Oh someone asked and yes, I'm getting together some garland starter kits still. So sorry it takes me forever. Do you think that all I want to do is sell you stuff? I hope not.
Just to be sure, let's do a giveaway like some of you suggested! See you are as shameless as me so that makes me feel better. This time, instead of a tassel, let's do...
a black and white garland starter kit.

Ok--I think your contraption is something to yank out nostril hairs. That's what it looks like to me. And surely someone with very long nostril hairs will buy it from you on ebay for a large sum of money.
I wanna win!
I am tempted to bid on those bins too. Too cute!
This is my first time commenting, but I love your blog!
I'm a nesteraholic.
"nester" has become a part of me and my bff's everyday vocabulary.
I was just scrounging around the house this morning trying to find stuff to make a garland-i would love this kit! :)
~Lettie
I love "stuff". Pick me please.
p.s.
How sad is it that I use this acct. all the time and it took me 4 tries to remember my password?
Love the black and white garland starter! I want to win!!!
I love your ideas!
my email is csmundt@hotmail.com
I did not take my table runner mistreatment to my seamstress yet and I am planning on investing that money...I think oil would be a good choice, what do you think? Please enter me in your drawing as I am redecorating my 10 year olds room in black and white damask yeah!!!!! I'll cross my fingers Paula
oh and that item.. is a Making Memories Instant Setter..
for setting eyelets
Please enter me!
Good luck on ebay...you'll probably end up getting $1,000 ! Who knows!?
Too bad about the scale. I was gonna tell you that I wanted the scale and candlesticks, but I saw that I would've been behind about 500 other people!
Moving is tough. I've been there, done that. We moved 3 times in 3 years, for my husband's job. Each time to a new place where I had zero friends. It was hard, but God was good, and each time He brought amazing women into my life.
Before you know it, you'll have a boatload of new friends. In the meantime, I'm honored to be your friend.
Oh no! No scale...boohoo!!
That thing looks like some sort of rocket or missile to me...
Ooooh....love the black, white, and red! Would you mind to enter me for it, please? Thanks!
Pick me, pick me! This black and white garland would go great in the craft room I'm working on!!! Proud that I've been inducted into the window mistreatment club. You can e-mail me at bulls112(at)juno(dot)com.
Holy crap Batman! Oh how I would love that black & white garland kit!! We are redoing Eva's room in paris theme :) How cute would that look in there?? Thanks for the candlesticks yesterday!
I'm coming out of lurkdom to say "Please pick me" for the garland. I love your blog with all the neat ideas. I am waiting to mistreat a window in my girls' room and I've already planned on making a garland for my boys' room. Then the girls' room. And maybe some gifts if I am not crazy after these.

Nester, I love your blog, your humor, your inspiration. Love the garland.
Fun...I'd like to throw my hat in the ring!

Hi! I've been visiting your site for about a month now . . . love love love your style. I'm also a girly girl with 3 little boys and a man in the house, so it's so nice to see some feminine touches in a man's world! Would love that garland starter! Rachel
I would love to win...enter me! I'm getting ready to do a mistreatment in my daughters room too!
I can just hear all the birds flapping their wings to leave a comment on this post. I can't wait to see how you're gonna wreck up ebay. Maybe the same way you wrecked up etsy by selling EVERYTHING YOU LIST. And keep the political talk to a minimum, won't ya? Geez, Nester.
Sign me up please!

Oh pick me, please, please, please. I love your blog. It's probobly scary how much I look forward to seeing if there is something new everyday. You have a cutest ideas, and I LOVE the garland.
OK, its not fair that your starter kit is cuter than my finished garland. I took a picture of it and will be posting it in my blog in a little while. In the meantime, I have a perfect place in my bedroom to hang a garland of that color scheme! So, here's hoping...
enter me please...
Hi Nester!
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog yesterday, I really felt like a celebrity had stopped by!
The scrapbooking item you are unsure about is an eyelet setter. I'd guess they're about $10 in the store but that's probably not with the cute tin case and all the attachments that yours has so I think you'd definitely be able to sell it on e-bay.
I love your garlands and would also love to be entered in your starter kit contest. I also love your tassels and would be interested to learn how to make them, not that you have to tell me all your secrets but you could point me in the right direction. ;)
I'm off to look at your grass for sale now, I think I really NEED that!
OOOH I'm going to come out of the lurkerdome for this one!!! ME ME ME... PICK ME! You're actually the insperation behind my delightfullypink blog! I love this blog and all that you teach us! You ROCK!!!
Oh yeah and incase you missed it... PICK ME ME ME! :O)
~Julaine~
I love those garlands and seriously - that tool- the best ever - List it on ebay.

I would love to win that prize! I just started reading your blog about a month ago and I love it love it love it! :)
Pick me! Pick me! It will go with my recent find at a discount store of a super expensive-looking black and white curtain for 5 bucks! Not sure what room these will go in yet, but I'm sure I will find one! :)
I wold love a garland starter kit! If i get teh energy to make my own how much of how many fabrics do you think I should get? thanks!
Your comments are going to be full today!! I made a ragamuffin garland for each of my girls lastnight and they LOVED them. My 3yr old came over and said 'Thank you mommy! It's pretty, you're a nice mommy!' this from my speech delayed child! Made the fact that my fingers were about to fall off all worth while! I'm so glad you posted those, especially since I neede something to do while our internet was out.
I mistreated out windows last week too. I actually hot glued the valance to the wood in my daughters room!
Love this blog, it keeps me motivated. I've been keeping an eye out for start kits on Etsy too. Ofcourse I'd take a free one too LoL
my email is Jenna684@hotmail.com
Keep up the super nesting!!
Jenn
PICK ME PICK ME!! (Okay I know it's totally randon on the picking part, but I always did want to be the popular kid with all the cool garland stuff :), so PICK ME!!
Have a GREAT day,
Dawn
PS Love, LOve, LOVE your blog!!
Love the starter kit - count me in!
My girls and I just made a Halloween one from random fabric and ribbons I found laying around the house. I love it and it prevented me from stuffing my face while watching TV last night, so that's a win-win in my book.
I've got a bee in my bonnet to start ripping apart outgrown Lilly dresses to make one for my 4 year old's pink & green bedroom.
Thanks for the great ideas!
(and another fan of tassels who would love to know how to start making them!)
I LOVE giveaways! I never win but I love the chance.
I've slowly been gathering the supplies for my first window mistreatment and can hardly wait, thanks for your great ideas!
Please Please Please Please enter ME in your contest! I love your site and would love to win....of course I will still come back to visit but if I win I promise to stop by and check for an update more than 10 times a day! Thanks!
Fran
Well, my dear Nester, if I win THIS lovely, you can bet your bippy I'll digi-scrap a layout about IT! LOL ;) wink wink!!!
Sign me girlfriend!!! Anything you have, I want! I havent used ebay in YEARS but am off to refresh my memory on my password and all that stuff so I can get some grass and buckets. I think the buckets would be awesome in the playroom and for some reason I am OBSESSED with grass!!! The whole ebay thing kinda stresses me though...I WANT TO WIN so badly and then at the last second someone can just outbid you in a second!!!! Im stressed thinking about it..lol
LOVE YOUR BLOG!! Ok, Im off to mistreat my kids curtains...wooooo hooooooo
Love your style. You are an inspiration!
Karen, Conway AR
Hey Nester! We need to do that Clt bloggy get-together that you and Melissa talked about! That would be SO fun!
Please pick me!!!
I love that you keep posting these garlands! I think they're darling, and them ore you post them, the more I think "I CAN do that!"
Bummer about the scale but might have to go for that metal wall hanging.
I'm still waiting for another rooster tassel to show up in the etsy store too :D
OH pick me! It is so cute and such a fun project!
I so want to win ... I'm about to make your garlands for all my kids and one for myself. And would you mind if I used it in a homeschool co-op craft class I teach? I think the girls would love it. I hope that's okay ... I'll give you all the credit!
Hi Nester. I really want this Please pick me. When I saw it the other day ideas started clicking but the black/white would so match my kitchen.
Pam from Cocomama
this is going to say anonymous because I can't remember my google junk!

You know that would be adorable in my daughters nursery above her crib! Her bedding is black and white toile with hot pink trim! Yum!! Pick me, Pick me, Pick me
I love reading your blog and seeing all your decorating ideas!
Ooohh!! Pick me! I just moved, need help with decorating my new house, and this would look so fab here! Love, love, love your blog.

Hey! I'm the third "Kim" to add a comment!
Wow! That's 7 exclamation points in one comment. Oops. Now it's eight.
Kim
I've been reading your blog for a couple of weeks and I love it! I even opened up an account over at blissfully domestic. Thanks for all you do!
Tiff
I have read your awesome blog everyday for the past month or two. My bff Lettie (her comment's below) told me about how it rawks (it does). I have mistreated windows in two rooms - my windows and I thank you - and I made a little curtain for my awkward vanity spot in my bathroom. AND...(I'm almost done) I made a ragamuffin garland for my 3 year old daughter yesterday out of quilting scraps from my neighbor (who reads your blog, too, thanks to moi). Might send some pics later. None of it is perfect, but it is all beautiful. Lettie was so pumped that you left a comment on her blog, that she called me squealing about it this morning. We both agreed that it was like having a brush with Madonna (I jumped up and down a little)... we love you in Alabama!
I bet you don't have any "Kayleen"'s posting comments. I love the uniqueness of my name. Almost as much as I love your blog! I found it by searching through blogs of friends and I feel so lucky. Now I'm advertising you to all my friends!
And, I can't wait to go raid my mom's boxes of material for window mistreatments and garland scraps. :) If I win the starter kit, I think you can reach me on my blog. Any follow up comments you leave should go to my gmail account.
One of the reasons your blog is perfect for me? I'm 5 months pregnant and totally in the "Nesting" Mood! ;) I hope I win! Thanks for all your great ideas!
Love me some B&W! You are the Bomb Diggity by the way : )
Roxanne
It's only 7:30 a.m. here on the west coast and you already have 53 comments. Crazy! I guess everyone wants that garland kit. And I do too!
I love the elegant black and white! It would make a fun garland.
I love your blog. I only discovered it recently, but now I'm a regular!
Dear Nester,
Hi! I am just getting the courage to comment on here for the first time... to be honest, I sorta feel like you are a celebrity blogger, but alot of that is probably because I feel like I know you, and you know nothing about me. So, I'll tell you just a little about me, in hopes of two things - 1) that I might win the garland goodies, and 2)that maybe we'd be friends?
Ok, I am a designer in Greensboro - 2 years out of college, doing commercial design, and wishing a little bit that I could do more residential "stuff". Also, I'm recently engaged and getting married in December! (yay for me and my honey!) We just bought a house, but it was our second choice. Our first choice was (wait for it...) your sister's house. Emily's friend (Kendra) told me me I had to see their house because the style was "me". I fell in love. The MLS site for the house was my homepage. I loved the mistreatments, the paints, the textures, the garland in the baby's room. Alas, someone beat us to it - and my little heart was broken with the thought that the black kitchen cabinets could no longer be mine. I found Emily's blog through Kendra's blog. I found your blog through Emily's blog. I have wasted HOURS at work reading said blogs (not just recent posts - ALL OF THEM) I feel like I know you guys :) I also am bound and determined to design and decorate our new house as soon as we close (may 9th - hallelujah!) I'd love your input and ideas if you'd ever like to see photos...
Anyways, even though i've never met Emily, and i've never met you, I feel like we'd all be friends. (Especially if maybe chocolate and good Thursday night TV was involved) And I feel like the ragamuffin garlands are things I would give to friends. So don't you want to celebrate our new friendship by sharing some ragamuffin love with a fellow creative soul? C'mon, I know you want to... :)
Thanks for all the good ideas and inspiration. - Lauren F. laurenfarrington@gmail.com
:) Hi, I love reading your blog, thanks so much for your great ideas. A nice garland might spruce my place up a bit.
Thanks, Jessie
Well, I'm going to enter again knowing that there is no way in the world I could win the Nester giveaway again. But hey, I can't say I never win anything anymore so I'll throw my name in the hat and hope that I get lucky...twice...
Mommy
(you know my real name but remember it's a big secret so don't use my name when I win again). hehe.
I'm just a mother bird wanting to "feather" up my nest! I am a faithful reader (or should I say "bird watcher") and I adore getting ideas that are so cheap, simple, practical, and do-able!
That garland kit would be sooo much fun!
I am using black accents everywhere so this would be so nice in my house. We have black and white tile in our HUGE foyer and I want to make some Mackenzie Childs type covering for my wing chair and go a little funky in there. How about the ragamuffin garland for my room?
Oooh! Pick me, pick me!!
Reading your blog has inspired me to redo my house! It's currently on the market, so all ideas are for the yet to be purchased new home! I've started "collecting" things as I see them since it's Murphy's Law that when you need it, it won't be there.
I have a few Nesting Place pieces just waiting for their new home!!
how could anyone win after lauren's post? but i'll still try. i'm working on mistreating my house and i need that garland!!! love your blog! oh, and pick me!!
Wow I would love this - then I could add to it, maybe even some sprigs of color and be on my way to the cool garland I know I'll never get to making if I don't start soon!
Hi,
I love your blog and have been rummaging through my house looking for fabric to make one of these with. The black and white would be gorgeous in my kitchen! I want to win!
I made the covered canvases for my teenage daughters room and she loves them! Thanks for the great ideas!
6rickers at comcast.net
Bring it - I would love to win this!
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Please, please, please randomly draw out my name. This is so very my house. :o)
I second the nose hair trimmer. That's gotta be what it is. ;o)
Thanks for the opportunity, Nester! You're just sugary sweet today!
courtney[at]aisforbeautiful[dot]com
enter me! enter me! i am a faithful stalker of your blog. you are just too creative and it's not fair! :) LUV your stuff. thanks for all the great ideas!!
Oh, good grief...I wanted to preview a comment and it posted it instead...I decided I was being too shameless and deleted it. I do have my limits! : ) Haven't found my ribbon yet...still working on customizing. Thank you so much for your advice!
Just look at all your friends!!! Or maybe it's just because everyone wants a starter kit?? KIDDING! I think we should all just start a new little town somewhere. We'd all be such great friends!
I love the garlands. Such a fun, creative idea.
Now as for the scrapbooking tool...it looks a little scary!!! I'm a scrapbooker, but I guess I have an "old fashioned" style of scrapbooking. I don't know about these newfangled tools!
I am CERTAIN that someone has already told you this, but I didn't scan the previous 75 comments...
That very fine piece of scrapbooking machinery is a Making Memories Eyelet Setter tool. I think they retail in the $20 range, if that helps.
Anyway, your blog has provided me with enough inspiration to last me about six lifetimes... thought I'd let you know!
Hope you have fun with all your 99 cents ebay stuff. Good for you that you can actually part with anything! That is the difficult part!!!
If you email me I can tell you how to put your additional photos on Ebay for free.

You feel all politcal, I'll go sit in the corner humming "ebony and Ivory" to myself. (Am I the only one who LOVED Stevie W. and Paul Mc singing that?)
Anyway, love love love the garland! I don't know where I'd put it, but I NEED it.
Hi! Hou have a very nice blog! Want you yo chrck on this site http://www.wishuponahero.com It's a very wonderful site!
It's an eyelet setter. You could get some good cash for that baby.
Good for you for going forward with Ebay- I wish you much success!

Hi Nester! Please put my name in the hat for the garland starter kit! Would love to add that to my daughter's room...she loves black and white toile and coordinating colors ~ all on a budget of course! Loved our emails!

Of course I would looove that garland kit for my getting ready to re-do master bedroom. It would look maaaavelous! Just love your blog and have been inspired to decorate in a less-than-perfect way. It seems that if I wait for it to be perfect, it just doesn't get done. So I seriously love this mistreatment concept and have adopted into my decorating style. :)
I LOVE your blog and all the wonderful things you make. If I win, I can sorta be like you. Hee hee! Pick me! Ü
I'm gonna have to enter this one since my kitchen is black, white and cream and the one we move into will be the same colors.

My email is jess.oakes@gmail.com
Thanks!!
I just love all that I learn from your blog. Such creativity you are blessed with! I would love to be entered into your give-away.
The Making Memories eyelet setter retails for $24.99. I recently used one in a class that I took and thought it was much easier to use than the others I have used/own.
Good luck with your sale.

I am redoing my house, slowly, cheaply & surely. This would add to it.

Love to win this!! If you lived in the middle of nowhere, which is in Northeastern Indiana, in the smallest little town you can imagine ( our post office is in a little attached porch in the post mistress home), I would be your BFF and we could have a garage sale together. I don't have many friends here. The closest neighbors I have anything in common with won't speak to me because I'm not Amish and I'm not plain enough to be Minnonite.
It's black and white and red how can I resist! Enter me please.
Adore the Garlands!! Actually, adore everything you do...show more, show more!! Throw me in the ring for the garland starter set...although I wont win...but i'll back!!
No way I am winning this but you know where to find me if I do. :) You are fab!! :)
You gotta friend in me..... Who could not love the nester? What a way to make a lot of new friends, just give stuff away, ha... Susie H
Well, pls add my name to your growing list...I would LOVE to have this sweet black and white thingy......
hugs, bj
I love your blog and all of your great ideas! Thanks for sharing them!
I love your garlands! I have seen other ones with just plain fabrics that are all the same size scraps and tied in a pattern....yours are WAY more interesting and pretty. I can't wait to try one out.
Love those garlands AND I want to win! BTW I turned my neighbor onto your blog and she wants me to help her with some mistreatments...as if I've ever done them before!? Wish me luck!
Go ahead and wreck up Ebay. I just bid on your tassel...because I need some Nester junk in my babies room.
Looks like ebay's the place for you!! WOW!
I'm in on this, wahoo! Love giveaways. I think that garland is such a coolie idea.
I am so excited. If I don't win I will be buying one of your starter kits!

Hey Nester,
Thanks for the giveaway. Don't know if I've commented here yet, but I gotta tell ya, your philosophy (mentality, attitude?) is as great as your decorating ideas. Last weekend while helping my sister get an appetizer tray ready for a get-together, I quelled her perfectionism by telling her, "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful." It works in so many aspects of life!
Hi Nester! I read your blog all the time, no, I'm not a stalker, but I'm in love with your house AND how your house is done imperfectly perfect! I love it!! I would love to win...pick me, pick me! I am testosteronely outnumbered w/3 little boys, too! Thank you for inspiring all of us imperfect decorators out here!
-Liberty
Love your blog and your ideas!!

I never win anything, but what the heck...enter me please! If I *do* win, I'll know it was my really lucky day! ;) Not only are the garlands cute, they are just plain fun. Fun to look at. Fun to examine. Fun to figure out all of the different little fabrics and items that are tucked in there. Kind of like a where's waldo for the craft junkie. :)
De-lurking here! I love your blog - I found you via June GonnaEatThat/CutoffCash. As soon as I find some time, I am going to mistreat my office and kitchen windows!
Figured I might as well de-lurk and also have the chance to win something too! :o)

These are lovely! Please enter me in the contest. Thanks! Love the blog!
I'd love it - I'm trying to fix up my little home office with black and white and it would be perfect. Thanks! tabasko@verizon.net

Nester your trash is our treasure! That garland starter kit looks amazing & I promise I would make a lovely garland & take care of it like it should be!

I love the garland! Looks like eBay was the way to go!
Oh!! Can I enter too? Even if I don't live in the States? I love all your ideas and I love the garland idea and black and white would look so lovely in our kitchen or our hallway over the black and white floor tiles.
Please, please, pretty please.
Love, your fan from the Netherlands
Love the black and white garland and hope I win.
I didn't read all 100+ comments to see if anyone told you, but I the tool you pictured looks like an eyelet setter. Very useful for scrapbooking and making cards!
Been reading for a couple of weeks now and really enjoy your blog. My kids like it when I "visit" you...they like the music, it makes my baby happy:0) I would love to make a garland!
monicamdc8@aol.com
PPP Me! Purty please, pick MOI! I would love the black and white!
Love your blog. Have been reading daily since I found you (I am the one who lives in Irmo and emailed a month or two ago)
But my MAIN reason for writing is...I am so jealous...I have tried putting things up for bids on ebay on several occasions, and looky how many bidders you got so quickly! Awesome for you! Congrats!
I love the black and white garland kit I would love to win it would go perfect with my GA bulldog stuff! I love your blog!

Oh you silly chickie! You know I love you! Work has been insanely crazy and I've been giving up a portion of my morning sleeping time in order to read your blog every day, sorry I'm a slacky commentor? or is it commenter? Anyways if you magically pick me I'll give you my HL discount! Hehehehehehehehe
Did I mention how tiny and slim you look in your blog picture? (Hoping to influence you in your choice! But it is true, you are a tiny little thing!)
Oooooohh! Pick me! I have wanted to do a garland since I saw it in the post about the secret place under the stairs. this would be perfect for our bathroom, and I can practice for the FOUR windows I want to do in my daughter's room (while I gather materials!)
Oh I love contest,I hope I win!I can't wait to get started on one!
Oh pick me, Pick me!
OK! I am having the same hard decision as you! I have about six boxes of stuff in our garage I want to get rid of but kinda want to make some extra bucks but probably will end up donating. I have also been wanting to try ebay. Let us know how easy or hard it really is. And about the mistreatments I think I have one in my kitchen! My fabric is up with clear pushpins! Arggg! They have been that way for a few months but they look pretty perfect besides the fact that they are held up by pins and the bottoms are not hemmed. Oops!!! The most important thing is I Want To WIN that giveaway! Have a great night! Julie email mastersonspj@bellsouth.net
You see, this is what I get for checking out your blog BEFORE my beloved cup of coffee! I clicked over to your Etsy store to see if by chance this bad boy was still listed before totally reading - duh - anywho... I would love this! So, yah, pretty please, with a tassle on top, enter me. It would look so devine with my new black and white furniture that will be arriving this weekend!
Excellent ideas BTW! Keep 'em coming!
It's an eyelet setter-used for scrapbooking and card making mostly....I found your blog on Creative Blogs and am completely in love with all your ideas...

Now I have to jump over to ebay to see what's being sold and I thought I could get on the computer without spending money today...probably not. Thanks for the post and the chance to win something too.
The black and white garland would look great in my kitchen.I dobt that I would ever get out to buy all the stuff, so winning it is my only hope! Love your Blog! Thanks!

Hey Y'All...I'd loooooove to win. And, I gazillionth that the scrap thing is indeed an electric nose hair trimmer...for men of course!!!
I recognize your music as originally being from Crowded House--one of our favorites!
Count me in for your give away! I love black & white and what a cute garland that will be.
I just did a garage sale last weekend and after 2 hours I was done. I packed it up and hauled it away. I did get my big items sold but, I posted them on craigslist beforehand. I still made some money from the little stuff but, I don't know if I will do a sale again for just some little stuff. Craigslist was definately worth the little effort I put into it and I got a fast response. My kids got new bikes with the garage sale money and were happy:)!

Pick me please!!!! This would be perfect in my guest room. It is black and white. I have finally come out of hiding and posted a comment. I love your site and have told all my friends. I did a mistreatment in my kitchen yesterday and I love it!
Thanks so much for all your wonderful ideas!
mkdwalk@bellsouth.net
Yep, its a silent setter! What a wonderful giveaway!
That black and white garland would look so cute in my black/white/red kitchen! PICK ME! :)
Oh, and I don't do garage sales either. I'm much more likely to put stuff out with a "free" sign. I don't have the patience for the beast of a garage sale. Ebay frightens me.
Love your style...do I have to tell people it's not mine??! hehe
Pick me Please! I love the black & white garland kit! You are one creative gal, Hugs, DebraK
Oh my heck i LOVE your blog! I want to do this garland so bad! You are so gifted!

My sister (who I'm trying to get to blog) & I are in a store today (Garden Ridge, I think). And I ask her if she's looked at your blog. Because everything in the store reminded me of The Nester! So she does read your blog, and I think she's one step closer to blogging. Yea!
Looks like you're doing well with the ebay auctions!! And I love your descriptions. They are very descriptive!! I am so glad your sister talked you into blogging!
Isnt that thing above that some folks are sayin might be nose hair tweezers, used for making embellishments for scrap booking? or something like a soddering gun?
Hi! Love, love, love your blog! I sent you an ebay message cuz I'm bidding on something and I could pick it up in person -- yep, I'm local! So I could be your friend -- like in real life! (I know your mom & dad too.)
Wanting anything that came from YOU!!! I just love your blog so much.. you are such a famous blogger... would just be so happy to be included in your give away!!
I am getting ready to post my own swag... not as totally awesome as your raggamuffins...but still yummy!!
I've always loved your tassels and finally broke down and ordered one from your etsy shop. Let me tell you, they're even better in person! Now you're gonna have me hooked on your garlands, too! Thank you for a chance to win one of the kits!
love your blog! love your stuff everything is so cute! I wanna win this so bad!
OH MY GOSH!!! i dont visit for a few days and bam! More fun ideas to try! BTW i just got on to Trademe (new zealand e-bay) and made $200 so far this week, selling Junk!!!
I love black & white!!! Thank you for having this giveaway! :-)

Your blog is so fun! I need to send you pics of all the mistreatments I have done. You have seriously saved my house. I hope I win, I want to make a garland so bad!
Ohh I love your garland starter kit idea! That black and white one would look awesome above my bed :)
Thanks for all your great ideas!
Sadness about the scale, but glad you're keeping it in the family. I love your taste and all your ideas. You give us permission to tear fabric, use glue guns without shame, eat toaster strudels, put holes in our walls, and even give out secret paint formulas. Who else does that? I may just write you in for President...
We redid the main bath in black and white toile about 3-4 years ago so your garland would "freshen" it up! Thanks for all you do!

I love me a good garland starter kit contest. I'm in, baby!! My email is hrblair2@comcast.net
I read your Ebay item descriptions and they are a hoot! Looks like you will clear a nice profit on your listings there. It must be the week for Ebay - I have an auction going too (Star Trek Christmas ornaments, anyone?)

Nester, I feel so behind as there are 176 entries above me - wow! you say free and everyone and their brother comes out of the woodwork :) And, yes I am asking to be entered for the drawing. I'm about to redo my playroom with black and white accents and would adore the garland for the dress up section of the room. So, please pick me, please....mandyboyce@gmail.com

I never replied that I rec'd my tassle I ordered. Absolutely love it! Best birthday present I ever bought myself.
Thank you for doing a giveway. What fun!
As I have said before, you INSPIRE me!
Your idea about the door you painted and used above your sofa got me movin' on an OLD door from my husband's grandmother's house. Finished it this week. Once it is hung, I will post a picture.
Hope you choose me for the garland ... my kitchen is red, black and white! It would be perfect draped on our kitchen table light!
I just found your blog a few weeks ago and LOVE all your ideas! I started a pink/green garland for my 5yr old daughter's room...she's so excited and ready for it to be finished!
I'd sure love to do a black and white one to go with all of the furniture I've painted black! :)

Nester, your "wording" of stuff seriously cracks me up. Please enter me, too. I am a black and white nut.
I am mistreating my jelousie windows at the moment, I recently scored three, yes theree, six panel interior doors from freecycle (two are completely new), I have lots of ideas for my "Take Flight" themed kitchen due to your love of birds, so I would love to win the garland, pick me, pick me. You so rock. Thank you for making us mistreaters feel so special.
