OPEN THRU WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT!

designer — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:00:00 +0000

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!

Lola B’s :: Giveaway Day

designer — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 01:00:00 +0000

Our next giveaway is sponsored by Kasey from Lola B’s Boutique. If you have been living on the moon then you probably haven’t heard of her yet. Otherwise, I bet you’ve seen her blog and shop before. Kasey is one of those spunky little gals who writes with humor and wit on her blog.

She’s got a huge following. And her whitewashed cottagey style is approachable and sophisticated all at the same time. I think part of her charm is the fact that she just doesn’t take herself too seriously. I love that. And, I love the music on her blog. I leave it up for background music. I’ve been listening to it all afternoon.

Back to the giveaway. This is a fun one.

Kasey has put together a surprise package from her shop. The winner will receive a package full of lovely items with a total worth of $100.

I guess that means that bed won’t be in the package. Oh well, I’m sure it will still be great. And anyway, Kasey, I’ve been wondering–how do you do the whole bed on the sand thing? Do you live at the beach? Do you have white sand shipped to your back yard? Do you photo shop? However you do it, it’s worth it, it looks great and you are a great stylist.

So, take some time to hang out at Lola B’s and browse through her vintage finds.

I love the found department.

You know the drill by now, right?

good luck–scroll down there are a ton more giveaways

Giveaway Day :: Back 40 Life

designer — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0000

We cannot have too many vinyl decals right? I love the use of a big initial on the bed.

A lovely scripty last name taking center stage over the fireplace…

And I think this is my favorite, a vinyl frame. Oh the possibilities. You could hang a christening gown in there, hang real frames in it, hang a clip inside and attach the latest artwork finished by your boys…

And the classic monogram over the bed never goes out of style. Vinyl words are such a quick, easy and inexpensive way to instantly customize your home. Especially for us renters.

Jodi, my sweet friend and owner of Back 40 Life is offering a $50 gift certificate so you can pick out whatever you want. Good luck! And for any orders placed with the coupon code “nester” you get an additional 10% off

Giveaway Day :: Mary Kay System

designer — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:00:00 +0000

I’m a user of Mary Kay. It’s the only foundation I ever use. I like that I can slap it right on over my moisturizer and it’s just enough coverage. They have a product I’ve been wanting to try and you can win it!

It’s the Time Wise Cellu-Shape Contouring System offered by consultant Heather Blachly. In real talk that means cellulite control, girls.

They even have stats that I copied strait from their site:

• After 4 weeks, 81% of women had firmer skin.
• After 8 weeks, 70% of women had skin with greater elasticity.
• After 12 weeks, 100% of women had smoother skin.

I like firm, I like smooth, I want to be a tester!

And if you are someone I hate and have no cellulite, you can opt for the Microdermabrasion set.

They have stats for that too:

These results were experienced after just one week.**
85% saw improvement in skin texture.
73% saw a reduction in fine lines.
71% saw smaller-looking pores.

So if your thighs are wrinkled or your face is wrinkled, Mary Kay’s got you covered!

Leave a comment to enter to win your choice of the Cellu-Shape or the Microdermabraison set. Also, if you place an order, be sure to use the coupon code “Nester” in the comment section for 10% off.

Good luck, let me know how it works for you and don’t forget to scroll down to enter the other giveaways! This giveaway is open to Canada and International readers too!
