Suggestions Please

Next week my blog will be one year old!
I'd love to do a giveaway.
I'm thinking that the prize could be something
that I've done a tutorial on this past year.
I could make one & personalize it just for you.
I want the gift to be something you would like.

I'D LOVE ANY SUGGESTIONS!!!

(To review my tutorials just click the tutorial label
at the bottom of the page)

  2. I Love your blog, your ideas really do inspire me---and your tutorials.....well, in addition to inspiring, are just plain fun! The only, only, ONLY thing that would make this blog better would be more pictures. I just love to ogle your creations, and always hope to see pictures even it's different angles of stuff you posted before. Thanks for all your hard work here, and looking forward to another year!

  5. How 'bout I fly you to my home near Atlanta and have you as a guest in my "undecorated" home so you can complete a room a day for me? That would be my suggestion...I'm just sayin'.

  9. You have such an inspiring blog. I love your tutorials and crafts. Keep doing what you're doing, you are great.
    Doing a give-away is just so nice. How 'bout you do something with a monogram, like the framed fabric one that you painted.
    Come by for a visit sometime and see how you have inspired me.

    A giveaway is so sweet, and anything would be great but my pick would be the name plaque like you made for the couple getting married.

  13. If I win I'll take a coffee table made from an old door...J/K. You're so talented I think anything you have made over would be great!

  14. I just love all your ideas! I copied your flag on the old window last year and still love it! I think the burlap monogram would be a wonderful giveawa! It's so sweet of you to think of your readers!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I sure do LOVE the monogrammed burlap! My vote would be for a tiny framed one of those those! oh, my initial is "R"! TEE, HEE!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Anything, I agree! Your style is amazing! I am so inspired every time I read...I will enter any give-away-there is nothing I haven't enjoyed!

  17. I really enjoy following your blog and can definitely not pick just one tutorial that is my favorite. A few of my faves are:
    *Grain Sack Tutorial
    *Moss Balls
    *Chalkboard Frame
    *Both of the Fourth of July projects. (my son will turn two on the Fourth of July and I would LOVE to have either of those projects hanging!)

  18. What a fun idea! They are all quite fun ideas on the tutorial. I think my most favorite is the grain sack reproduction of just the a in the oval frame! I love the idea of just one initial, the old look of it, and the frame is fabulous!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Everything is so cute it is hard to choose. But I am really partial to monograms, so I would choose something monogrammed.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love reading your great, creative ideas...I love the chalkboard and the moss balls. It's hard to choose!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Chalkboard, Burlap sack initialed art piece, or the coffee table and/or bookselves made out of doors (this one would be especially for me since I live close!). Any or all would be great!
    Congrats on your anniversary!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I really like your old painting turned chalkboard. I've been looking for just the right frame/price to try it my self. I'd love it if you would just make me one!!! Might be a little hard to mail though...

    ReplyDelete
  23. I check your blog at least once a day--thanks for all the great ideas!! My vote would be for a chalkboard, burlap monogram or that one where you did "The Hoth Family." Anything you'd do would be awesome though!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Um i think Id really like one of your adorable tables. I keep meaning to make the one I asked you about but havent had the time yet so how bout you just do it for me. That would be a fabulous giveaway!! You are so inspiring!! Thanks for all the great tips you constantly give!!

  25. How about you fly to Germany and decorate the rest of my apartment and tweak what I've already done. And hey, you could get a cool European vacation out of it!
    Seriously though, I would say anything monogrammed.

  26. Who can decide?
    You've done some really great tutorials. Maybe a how to make time to do the projects guide would be good. ~grin~

  28. What a talented woman you are. I love all the different projects you do with lettering. Very simple yet elegant. So my choice would be for you to do something with a letter. If I choose something you have already made that might stunt your creative brain. You could possibly decide to give an extra flare to your already wonderful project~creative peoples minds never stop.

  29. It's hard to believe you have only been doing this a year ~ you're such a natural at this and your ideas and talent are wonderful!

    Anything you do would be fabulous.

  30. Too many great things to chose from. My last name starts with an "A", so I really enjoy your monogram objects!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Any of the things you've done tutorials on would be a great idea! Lately, I really like the faux vintage flour/grain sacks that you did.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thank you, Joy. : ) I just made my first monogram plaque, and I would send you a picture if I had a camera. My suggestion for a giveaway is a duplicate of your adorable memo board (dark frame with chicken wire inside). I love it.

  37. Your tutorials are great! I particularly appreciate the hints & tips on spray painting furniture pieces. That will come in handy ~ thanX!

    All your projects are eXcellent. Among my favorites (besides the furniture) are the decoupaged necklace plaque, moss balls and the wooden monogrammed "A" plaque. But, my idea of an eXtra special "prize" would be a personal home decor consultation! ;-)

  42. Hi Joy!

    Happy one year anniversary! I agree with your other readers...you could offer anything that you've made and it would be a great giveaway! Everything is just absolutely beautiful! :)

    I was popping by to invite you and your readers to visit the new website of a friend of mine. Tricia is a freelance writer and mom of 4 who is launching a new website, BudgetArtists.com, on Monday that is dedicated to helping families live well through economic hard times. She's very passionate about this project and I'm trying to do my little bit to help her get the word out, so I'm inviting all my blogging friends over to visit her and participate in her giveaways. She also has several free seminars happening that cover everything from car maintenance to home management to job hunting.

    If you get a chance, please drop by and say hello to her! Thanks.

  43. I just love all your ideas!!! My favorite decor of yours is all your A's! My last name starts with A and I love that you have them all over your house! I want to start to do the same! Thanks for all your inspiration and congrats on your year anniversary!!

  44. The framed burlap monogram.

    The wood letter initial plaque.

    Basically *anything* in your house that you've done.

    It's ALL good.

    :)

  45. I love all your ideas, but the most I love your halloween boo sign.

  46. I love tutorials, so when I found yours I made it one that I check out often. So when you ask for a suggestion, my favorite one is "You Asked, I Delivered". I adore letters around my house, so that one is my favorite, it looks so old and my little bungalow is filled with old things. So you could personalize that very easily for the winner of your giveaway. I would so love to win a giveaway, so I will enter yours when given the chance! Hugs, ~cindy s~
