Are you one of those people that enter drawings, giveaways, and contests but never seem to have your name drawn? Well, I'm one of those people, so you can imagine my surprise when I suddenly saw my name while reading Tam's blog, The Gypsy's Corner! I had won her giveaway for an adorable Mon Bain picture to hang in the bathroom.
I heard a thump on the porch this afternoon and just knew my gift had arrived. I could barely contain myself trying to cut the hundreds of yards of tape carefully away from the box. (Great taping job, Tam!)
Look at the sweet little gift tag on the picture!
And voila! My new prized picture hanging on the wall in the bathroom!
Thank you so much Tam! You're just the best! Please drop by Tam's blog to see how her kitchen remodel is coming along. You can click HERE to visit her.
Hey Diane, so that leave ME as the only person to never win, huh? LOL congrats! Wish I could help with the questions about my kitchen cabinets. We bought the house when it was just shy of being 2 years old and the previous owners had the builder put them in when they were picking out all of the kitchen stuff. But you know, Pickett? She did a gorgeous job on her kitchen cabinets on her former home (I think they were oak) and she did a post about them. Let me know if you need help finding it.
What a great win - love it! Lucky you - you have a serger & a singer. I think a serger would be the best thing in the world! About the camera, trying to decide between a "point and shoot" or a serious camera. Canon, Sony, and Nikon all have good, reasonably priced cameras. I've been hearing a lot about a Nikon in the $400 range that is awesome. I have to get shots that might be moving - aka grandies! Linda
