My First Giveaway! Win a Large Decor Ball!!!
House of Hepworths has been online for a month!
In appreciation of all the love and support I’ve received I’m doing my first giveaway!!!
Remember that Large Decor Ball I made from a mat and a basketball?
Yup, there she is…
Well, I told y’all if I had enough positive feedback that I’d make another one for a giveaway! I think 58 comments so far is enough positive feedback. What do you think?
I’m stickin’ to my promise.
I’m giving away two Large Decor Balls. Yes, two.
Two lucky peeps will each receive one large decor ball. I’ll even pay the shipping. 
If you don’t believe me, here they are!
See! I’ve already bought them.
And then I tackled the remainder of that mat. I LOVE this jute/twine stuff this mat is made out of.
This stuff is actually more like a wicker/raffia mixture than jute or twine.
Here’s a play-by-play of the makings of your future Large Decor Ball from the 99 Cent Store.
It’s lookin’ better by the minute, ain’t it?!
Beautiful.
I just love this wicker/raffia stuff. Out of all the decor balls I’ve made (hold your horses – I’ll post them soon!) I think this material is by far the best. The texture of it is just amazing.
DONE.
There they are, your future best-decor-piece-in-your-whole-house Decor Balls. I kid, I kid… sorta. Well, I guess it really depends on what your house looks like. 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
THE RULES
Rules? I know, I’m so mean.
So basically this is an “I scratch your back, you scratch mine” kinda post.
I’m giving away these two awesome beauties, but I need something from you…
I need FRIENDS.
So… In order to win this ball, you have to be my friend on Google Friend Connect.
How might you ask? In my side bar on my home page, the very top thing says “Be My Friend”. Just click in the huge box with all the little pictures of peoples heads. It should say “Join this site”. You have to click the home tab under my header to see the box.
Once you become my friend, to officially enter the giveaway you must leave a comment!!
I’m doing the random drawing based off comments. Please do not forget to leave a comment to officially be entered into this giveaway.
Only one entry per person, so please don’t leave numerous comments – I’ll just have to sort them out.
This giveaway will run for ONE WEEK. I will close it at 11:59pm Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on Monday, April 12th. I’ll post the winners Tuesday morning.
IF you do not leave an email address I will not be able to notify you! If you win and I have no way to contact you I will skip you and draw someone else.
If you want to show some extra love you can even become a fan of House of Hepworths on Facebook. But you don’t have to do that to win.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well I shouldnt speak for anyone else but Im tellin ya what: ever since I found your blog last week or whenever it was, I cant get enough of you! Your ideas are wonderful and Im just about ready to transform my own cheese dome & pillar candle holder. My only problem is I cant get ORB paint anywhere around here since I live in a really small area. Ive never been able to find it at our Lowes and the nearest Home Depot is 45 minutes away! But Im waitin.
LOVE your blog girlie. Keep the ideas comin!

YAY!!! When I saw your original post on the decor balls I was SO hoping you would do a giveaway. I love decor balls and would have never thought to do a jumbo one. It would look perfect on my ORB candle stand. I am still
with envy!
I cannot believe you made one of these from a basketball! What a great idea! This would be a great tutorial for my Tutorial Tuesday over at my place – you could win some custom invitations
