cottages & bungalows & blogthday & giveaway

Phew! As I've mentioned, this summer has been kind of a crazy whirlwind for me and I'm looking forward to schedules resuming and temperatures dropping (slightly). So, receiving the October issue of Cottages & Bungalows in August is just fine with me -- especially since I wrote and photographed an article about my own kitchen and dining room low-cost re-do project!



This photo didn't make the cut but as you can see from the other images, paint and hardware can go a loooong way in DIY-land. Read all about it!



I originally pitched this idea quite a while ago and am so thankful to Editor and SuperCoolSweetie, Jickie Torres for giving it the green light and more.



As most bloggers can relate, I love(d) running out to buy flowers and fruit, styling and creating vignettes, taking photos, writing and sharing.



Jickie mentioned that the magazine loves to receive feedback so that if any of my blogging friends would like to send a Letter to the Editor about my article, it would be so appreciated. You can even email it to editorial@cottagesandbungalowsmag.com.
{Warmest thank yous, if you're able to take the time}



In just a few days it will be my 3rd Blogthday! To celebrate I am holding a giveaway of a subscription to Cottages & Bungalows, compliments of the magazine. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. I plan to randomly select and announce a winner on August 28* -- the day of my very first post.

Off to gather up flashlights and batteries!

Note: Due to hurricane preparations, my computer will most likely be unplugged on 8/28. If this is the case, the giveaway will be extended until I'm back online. :)
