OPEN THRU WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT!



Giveaway Day will stay open thru tonight, Wednesday at midnight.


Since there are so many entries still coming in and this is my blog and I can wreck it up as I see fit, I have made an executive decision to extend giveaway day one more day. Why don't I call it giveaway days? If you are new here, then get your fingers warmed up and start entering. Tell your friends who have yet to enter, they have one more day.

Can't find the comments? Between each post are two birds. Above the birds are two lines with weird stuff written in them that looks like some code. Click on the top line where it says something like "1048 Birds Say" the comments are what the birds, you, say.

Winners will be announced on Thursday! Good luck!

It's the last giveaway! Wasn't this fun? 24 giveaways in 24 hours. All the giveaways will be open until Tuesday at midnight. I'll announce the winners either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on my mood. So make sure to check back and see if you won. I try not to email everyone because that's like 24 emails. So I just announce the winners on the blog.

One more chance to win...




Ever since I read all about Kimba's experience, I've been wondering about Caromal Colurs. Kimba created that sweet distressed white number up there from this poor worn out dresser.


Patty at Fabulous Finishes is offering up the same kit that Kimba used on her dresser for the giveaway.


This product that is so fool proof for the general women folk out there is perfect for your old kitchen cabinets. I'm dying to get my hands on it. Here's what your kit contains:

It's a $50 value but, it's also priceless if you know where to use it.



And just for fun, here's Kimba's video tutorial using Caromal Colours



Leave a comment to enter to win the Distressed for Success kit from Patty at Fabulous Finishes. The winner agrees to send me a photo of their finished project!

I have refinished furniture before but I am hesitant to work on my kitchen cabinets. After all, they are mighty expensive to replace if I mess up. This looks like a very simple way to give them a brand new look though.
