Blog Contests

Now that I am doing more giveaways on my other blogs, with some of them not sponsored or some that I have to mail myself, I’m using my postage scale and US Postal Service website more often.

I’m keeping bubblewrap, shipping boxes and large envelopes. I still didn’t get my business cards because I’ve decided to change my main website name. When that site is ready, I’ll order my cards. For now I’ve been including a handwritten note with the prizes.

It will look a lot more professional to have a couple of business cards to add to the package. It will also look good to have a good looking website that lists all of my blogs and a short bio of myself. Little by little, things are falling into place.

Redecorating with Inviting Home

Inviting Home is online company that provides quality products for your home. The products they offer are usually only available to professional builders, interior designers, etc. but by shopping online it’s like cutting out the middleman. So the prices are a lot less expensive than buying through a professional. But, the information on the website is there for you. For each type of product sold, there are pages devoted to detailed images, installation and what works in your home. You can also call customer service and view the decorating ideas on the site too. If you choose to become a member of Inviting Home, you will receive a newsletter, discounts and information on promotions.

We are still redecorating my home. It’s been a long process but there’s still a lot of work to do. In our den, my husband built a new wall but we still need to add molding to the bottom of the wall. We’re also thinking of adding some around the wall, because it is a recessed wall.  I would love to use something like this:

While looking through the site, I also found Corbels which would really add beauty to my kitchen counters, especially the part that hangs into the living room area of my home. I found photos of people who did the same thing in the Inspiration Gallery section called “Sharing Success”. Plus, I love any company that has their own blog.

Finishing up my home is something I need to get done to reduce my stress levels. I hate when I’m not feeling well, I’m sitting around the house and I look at all of the things that still need to be done here.
