2 Year Anniversary and a Thank You Giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed. 
Today is the 2 year anniversary of the DIY Show Off!

HURRAY! LET'S CELEBRATE! 
Two years ago today, I wrote my first DIY Show Off blog post and it's been a happy part of my life ever since! I want to thank you. Thank you for stopping by. Thank you for coming back!  Thank you for your support. Thank you for leaving comments and making blogging such a fun experience. I work from home as well so it's often that I'm checking emails or taking a break from work to see if there's a comment or feedback. YOU make me smile. You give me confidence and reassurance. You're so sweet and I cherish our blog friendship.  I'm happy to "e-know" you.  I love seeing your DIY projects, reading about your lives, your experiences, your family and things that make you happy. I love that your creativity inspires me to blog about our shared DIY passion. 


As you know we're redoing our kitchen (yes...since last fall and hoping to wrap it up here within the month!).  I purchased this book and love all of the beautiful ideas...

Country Living 500 Kitchen Ideas: 

Style, Function & Charm


Country Living 500 Kitchen Ideas: Style, Function & Charm
and bought one for a THANK YOU giveaway too. 

Country Living steps into the kitchen with 500 new and exciting ways to transform the heart of the home. Packed with winning photographs of warm and inviting rooms, this inspiring guide covers color and pattern, floors and walls, storage, appliances, sinks, work surfaces, windows and lighting, and other charming accessories. A stunning image accompanies every tip: see how a small kitchen becomes cozy when it’s filled with warm tones and natural materials; how a checkerboard backsplash brings black cabinets and white walls together; and how a modern refrigerator can work in a retro room—if it’s hidden by a rustic door. Mix surface styles, add an archway to create a separate eating area, and turn an antique cabinet into an attractive place to store and display dishware. There's an innovative idea on every page...and a design solution for every kitchen.

How to wrap a gift: Use tissue paper for a beautiful gift topper decoration
a surprise gift. Once I talk to the winner about their next DIY project and their style, I'll personally select something small and special for the winner for their home.

Just leave a comment about anything and you're entered to win. If you're not a subscriber or follower, I invite you to follow along for a bit and to celebrate DIY with some amazing friends.  

It's not much. I wish I could give something to each one of my blog friends or that we could meet personally and I could look you in the eye and tell you face to face of my gratitude and admiration (maybe even pick up a paint brush and give you a hand with your DIY), but until that day arrives...just know that I want tell "you"...thank YOU for being You and for being so supportive of me.  I look forward to another awesome year of growing, new ideas, sharing our DIY, your DIY and making new friends!

Ps.  I've accidentally over-posted today with 3 blog posts today!  2 yrs. and there's still the occasional OOPS! So, I think I'll take tomorrow off.  :)  Care to take a guess what number post this is???  Closest number without going over gets a custom vinyl monogram!
