It’s a Give Away!

This is such an exciting day for me!  This is my very first give away, and it couldn’t be from a nicer person!  Do you remember when I was complaining about my shaky painting hand?  Well, Shelley from Wonderfully Wordy came to my rescue!

WW-PINK_edited-1

She offered up some free vinyl letters, and I already knew I had this project on the brain!

IMG_5348

What’s a girl to do?  I took advantage of her kindness, of course, and asked if she’d want to offer it in a give away!

Welcome-MonikaSince she’s more business savvy than I am, she’s giving you an option.  The winner can choose between a “Welcome” sign or an address sign (like on my door).

Speaking of which, look at her door below! It’s the black one with the red berry wreath!  Hello?  Aren’t you in love?!

Vinyl

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  If you don’t have a blog, simply leave your e-mail address.  Of course, if you really want to win, you’ll prove it to the give away gods by going to say hello at Shelley’s blog.  I DARE you not to fall in love with all her items!

IMG_5337

You just can’t pass this up, people!  This give away has a value of $1,000,000 dollars!  Okay, fine. That’s a lie.  However, it IS worth that much to me.  Could you imagine how I would have hacked this up had I free handed it???

The give away closes at 4:00 on Friday.  I’ll announce the winner in my Friday Feature post.  Good luck!

Super cute, Hope I win! Staylor@browz.com

Tricia said...

I have been waiting for the weather to improve to address all (not 1, not 2, but 3) of my doors. I'm thinking black. The house numbers would absolutely be the icing on the cake!
Thanks for the fun give a way!

I thought maybe you did vinyl letters - it looks so awesome.

I'd love to fancy up my door like that. (Oh, and when we reside the house, you bet I'll be picking a color that allows me to paint our door black)

Cori said...

I really really want to win. I will be moving into my first home this August and it will be in desperate need of some love and cute-ness.

Mominin said...

Oh...I need these, too. I definitely do not have a steady hand! Now I want to paint my front door. Hm...which color?

Vindiciti said...

Love, love, LOVE it! The vinyl lettering is awesome! We live in places we can't paint, and I'm always looking for things that are removable. Our house number is always hard to find, so it would be awesome to have it on our front door like that. I may have to look into getting a family established vinyl, too!

lovinsanta said...

I love these ideas. I would love to paint my door and well "Welcome" everyone in with a sign!

Thanks.

Bridget said...

I have never commented but I LOVE your ideas! I went out today and bought black paint, some mustard-ish yellow (sounds ugly but is gorgeous!) and painted my door and an accent wall in the garage. Our house is like yours and everyone seems to enter through the garage. Thankfully it's not dirty, just not pretty. I LOVE my new door and the accent wall will soon have some fun things on it. I emailed Shelley and I'm ordering something from her. I just couldn't wait!
