Handbag Giveaway

I have a little secret... okay--I have lots of secrets. And I guess this one isn't really a secret, anyway. But I. LOVE. Purses. And totes. And clutches. But I'm really not weird, because I don't know a woman who isn't obsessed with those things. Right?

Anyway, so there is this great giveaway over at "It's the Little Things that Make a House a Home". She is giving away an item of your choice from "A Girl's Must Haves," which has some incredible purses. Like this one...

Or this one...

Or like this great wallet...

So if you love these items as much as I do, you should head over to "It's the little things" and enter the giveaway! Good luck!

Fantabulously Frugal Giveaway

I want to let you in on an incredible giveaway! A giveaway worth $675! You really need to check this one out. It involves Gucci sunglasses and a Kate Spade passport case. Need I say more?

Check it out here!

Pottery Barn Gift Card Winner

I finally won something! You have to realize that I never win anything. I really am the most unlucky person in the world (well, maybe not the most unlucky... I think the guy who operates the Spaceship 2000 at the county fair may be worse off...). And by "lucky", I mean winning contests and drawings. I can't tell you how many I have entered in my life, and this is the 2nd one I have won. In 24 years. Two. And the other one was just a month ago in Asheville. So maybe my luck is changing?

Anyway, I posted recently about a Pottery Barn gift card giveaway at "Get Your Martha On". And I won! I am so excited! Now the only issue is what to spend it on...

You should really check out her blog. She has some incredible projects, like this Dollar Tree candle holder.

And this silver leaf lamp.

So, thanks "Martha"! And everyone be sure to check out her blog!

12 Days of Junkie Giveaway Alert

"Tip Junkie" is one of my favorite giveaway sites. And she isn't disappointing now that it's coming close to Christmas! She is having 12 days of giveaways--and it's only on day 8 right now. So scoot on over to her blog and join in!

Pottery Barn Giveaway!

Yaye! I love Pottery Barn. I really do. But I don't love Pottery Barn prices. Sheesh. That stuff is out-of-control kind of expensive. And we all know I am cheap. Or, frugal--that's the term I prefer. A much better connotation, in my opinion. Kind of like how I have resorted to calling myself "fair-skinned" as opposed to pale. "Fair-skinned" makes me think of Snow White. "Pale" makes me think of Jim Gaffigan. And really, what kind of choice is that?...

Anyway, all that to say that Peanut Petunia is having a Pottery Barn giveaway. (She also has some great decor ideas on her blog!) Check this out!

Okay, so maybe you don't have a need for a galvinized key cabinet from Pottery Barn. Maybe you already have something similar. But you can't tell me this wouldn't be a wonderful Christmas gift for someone. And then they will see that you got it from Pottery Barn and think you really love them a lot--otherwise, you wouldn't have spent an outrageous amount of money on something at Pottery Barn just for them! Only you have to know that it was free. So enter!

As you may notice, I usually make lots of posts about giveaways on days that I have no new projects to present to you. However, I have made some pretty incredible Goodwill finds recently that will be turned into fantastic gifts and goodies. I've just been too busy to work on them (until this afternoon!). So stay tuned!


Update:

Boy, are you Pottery Barn lovers in for a surprise. I found another PB giveaway! This time for a $25 PB gift card. And GCs are the best--then you can spend hours walking around PB, trying to decide what to spend your precious PB bucks on. The giveaway is at "Get Your Martha On," an incredible blog by an incredible lady who knows a little something about making some frugal crafts and DIY projects.

Snowman Giveaway

Hello, all!

I have stumbled upon another cute giveaway, especially for those that are into the Christmas decorating (like me).

No, unfortunately the fridge is not included. Darn it--I know. I would love that fridge, too. But the precious snowman magnet set is included! It is over at "Between Naps on the Porch", which is a great blog for all stuff homey. And I do mean homey, not homely. Just to clarify.

Christmas Time! (Nearly...) and Some Giveaways

I just can't help it--I am already in the Christmas spirit. After pleading with JC (along with compromising a little on the decor for our family room Christmas tree--which will be crimson, white, and yes, some houndstooth, for UA) it has been decided that we will put up our Christmas decorations soon! I know it's a little early, but let's take a few things into account here: 1) I am a Christmas fanatic; 2) we will be gone for two weeks before Christmas, which severely limits the time we would enjoy our Christmas decor; 3) Thanksgiving is WAY too late this year to wait for that; and 4) did I mention I am a Christmas fanatic? Seriously, before we moved, nothing else could fit in the attic because it was stuffed full of miniature Christmas trees (I have one for each room), potted Christmas trees, lights, ornaments, Advent calendars, reindeer, ribbon... are you starting to get the idea? I. Love. Christmas. I have also found out that not only is there a "25 Days of Christmas" on ABC Family, but there is now a "Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas" that starts.... November 10! So soon! JC swears they had this last year, and maybe they did. But my excitement is still the same.

I have already started with my Christmas-y crafts, some of which I will be sharing in upcoming posts. But for now, I wanted to share a few giveaways with you. Here's one--a "Let it Snow" pillow from "Between Naps on the Porch". To enter, leave a comment. You can enter a few more times by following the directions in the post.One of the blogs I follow, "The Design Girl," is giving away this absolutely precious snowman.

It's easy to enter--just leave a comment about your favorite thing at the shop (or for an extra entry, you can tell where you would display the snowman if you won).

Giveaway at Fiona and Twig

Fiona and Twig have a GREAT giveaway: an Anthropologie gift card and a great book on thrifting. You should check it out here! (Or maybe you shouldn't... more entries means I am less likely to win. Hmmm...)
