Hi everyone! I wanted to take a moment and to say a big thank you to all of you who are regular readers of my blog! It doesn’t matter if you are a “follower”, subscriber, or just pop in regularly to see what I’ve been up to. I appreciate all of you who take the time to drop by!
So I wanted to have a little giveaway, just to say thanks, and wanted something that most people could use. How about an Amazon GC? How about two?
There are over a 1000 of you that are “following” and more of you that subscribe via Bloglines and Google Reader and I don’t know how many of you just drop by now and then, but I don’t know half of you! So leave me a comment on this post so I can get to know you. That's all you have to do. It can be as simple as “Hi my name is _________ please enter me”. Or you can tell me a little bit about you. Now some of you I’ve “known” for years (you know who you are) so just say Hi unless you’re feeling chatty!
I’m giving away two $25 Amazon GC’s. I’ll leave this post open to comments until Saturday night and announce the recipients of the GC’s on Sunday. As always, I’ll use one of the random number picker thingies! The GC’s will be emailed to the winners from Amazon. I'm not sure how Amazon works in other countries, but I'm willing to send it to you if you live outside the US. So as far as I'm concerned everyone can enter.
***Edited to add: Please only leave one comment. I have to go in and delete a comment when you leave two as it throws the numbering off for the drawing.
I’ll be hard at work finishing up painting the paneling in my family room the rest of this week (yes, I have a red couch and there's not a bit of toile in that room!) Hopefully I'll have at least one corner to show you next week LOL!

Hi Manuela! I'm Liz, and I've been following for about a year now. Your blog is so inspiring, and I delight in seeing how you have made your home so lovely. Thank you for all the work you put into sharing it will all of us!
Hello Manuela, I have a question about painting your paneling. I painted mine in the living room the same color yellow as in your picture. I love it. I also painted my bedroom paneling in a sage green. The paint in the bedroom seems to 'scratch' easily. I didn't do anything different. I primed both rooms first before painting them. I was wondering how you prepared your walls before painting. Maybe my paint was different brands or quality. I've had to 'touch up' my bedroom walls already.
Please enter me in your drawing.
Thanks, Lee Laurie
Hi Manuella!
Well - thank you too! I always know where to come for some good ideas! Very fun giveaway!

I'm Bonita- a homeschooling mom, writer, and a domestically-challenged homemaker. I love reading your blog because your home is lovely and I imagine from your posts that your personality is much like it. You inspire me when I need it and looking at the pictures of your home brings me comfort when I need that. I especially like the fact that you're frugal in your decorating. I always leave your blog thinking, "I can do that too!" Now if that would just come to pass! ha ha

Hi Manuela,
I've been dropping by for a bit over a year now. This past week I needed a vacation...So I took one here at home reading the archives of this blog! Yesterday I was cleaning and decluttering the china storage and decided to roll my placemats (thank you! They fit much better and now I can see what I have) and I used a whole separate drawer to lay out napkins in stacks of like colors.
I've been interested to read all your money saving ways, gardening ideas and such. I'm learning about decorating after 30 years of homemaking.
So thank you for your honesty, your inspiration and your fearlessness when it comes to what you like and how you use it.
Hi Manuela,
Your blog is always intriguing and surprising. One never knows how your creativity will come through. Thanks for the variety of subjects and pictures of your lovely home projects. Best of all, thanks for that picture of your "golden" who looks just like mine. Please enter me in your giveaway. God bless you. Hope
I really like your blog and love reading it. My name is Dottie. Please enter me in the give a way.
