friendship,product review, and another giveaway!


As the blogging adventure began , I never really thought about  forming friendships.



GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED



I figured I would write and you would respond. It's really not the case. After visiting the same blogs over and over and writing back and forth with the same people. I have finally found people who are just like me. People with the same passions, problems, and everyday lives as me and have created bonds with people from 100's of miles away. One of those people is Brooke from 20 Something.


Honestly, I can't remember how we started talking . But Brooke was someone that came over and left me the sweetest comments and she came back regularly and gave me such confidence in the best of times.  She was also the winner of my '100 Follower Giveaway'  I was so excited to see that Random.org chose her !


In return I stalk her blog pretty regularly as well. Don't tell her though {grin}


Here is 20 Something's Welcome :



Hello! I
live in the piney woods of East Texas and could not love life more! I'm a
happy wife with a happy life! I'm a little bit country, a little bit
rock n' roll, and a little retro... Look around for some great recipes,
crafts and home remodel projects! Thanks for stoping by! If you have any
questions at all feel free to e-mail me at 20SomethingDesigns@Gmail.com

20 Something is packed full of really great DIY projects:




Welcome Door



Rosettes



Picture frame




according to CountryLiving magazine:


chicken wire is the new chic decor!


I couldn't agree more!






20 Something's pillow tutorial


Look familiar? She was the inspiration behind my Mr & Mrs Pillows.


If you are a DIY gal , you have to check out her blog. Even if you are not, you will still enjoy her fun filled posts.


So, when I received an E-mail asking if I would do a product review ; I immediately jumped at the opportunity! Of course I would!


Brooke informed me she that she is starting a sign business called "Sign me Up"


Very catchy name, why didn't I think of that?!





Wait, what? I got two packages! One of which wasn't a sign. It was a cutie pitutie picture frame with one of her great rosettes!







I kept opening to reveal my sign...


First, let me admit a little something: I'm not a big fan of hand painted signs. (Maybe I should have mentioned that before I offered to do a review on one...)


I feel like people don't put a lot of effort into making them . I see all too often people haphazardly painting on in any ol' fashion a name, sand it, and sell it.


This isn't the case.


{I saw you Brooke, squirming in your chair thinking I was going to say some thing awful!}


I opened my package and realized, She's " got it "


See for yourself:




This sign was so thoughtfully presented, to start off. Then the craftsmanship in the sign , adding just the right amount of age, and the quality of the paints/sealers to ensure a long lasting finish were just the perfect amount of precise .





I don't want you to think I am being biased here.


I prepared myself to be 100%  brutally honest . But, let me tell you, I  was so relieved when I actually opened the package to reveal a good quality piece of art.


It was evident that she cares about what she's doing.








Thank you Brooke for the opportunity. I will be a lifetime customer!


Are you interested in purchasing a customized sign?


"Sign me Up" offers different sizes/fonts/colors/styles. I was informed she's still working out all the kinks and I will be able to do provide you with an update of all the details at a later date. But, until then, she is accepting orders.


First, stop over and check her out at 20 Something.


Then , send her an e-mail (20somethingdesigns@gmail.com) letting her know what you would be interested in!


WAIT THAT'S NOT ALL!

  10. I'm a follower of your blog and I went to visit your friend. Wow, she is sooooo cool. Love that license plate on a wreath. Really clever.

    I'd love to be entered. This is a great sign.

    I've bookmarked her site for someday after I've paid off Uncle Sam! He is really screwing around with my retail fun at the moment...sigh....

    Thanks for the fun chance.
