This weekends giveaway is sure to please!

The fine folks over at Easy Canvas Prints want to give one of YOU an 8×10 canvas (plus free shipping) for FRRREEEEEEEEE! Yippie!

Earlier this week I showed you my new canvas from Easy Canvas Prints:

The quality of the canvas is outstanding. The canvas is thick (1.5″ wrapped) and the actual canvas material is heavy and great quality. In addition, the people behind Easy Canvas Prints are ah-freaking-mazing to work with.

One more thing… if you live in or near Austin, TX Easy Canvas Prints is more than happy to forgo the shipping charges and let you pick up the canvas in person. They are located near Metric and Braker.

If you are too eager to wait to see if you won, you can purchase your own canvas by clicking this button:

Easy Canvas Prints has a great promotion right now as well: Enjoy 20% off all canvas and free shipping plus get a Free 8×10 canvas on all orders over $60! (Free shipping offers apply only in the contiguous United States. This promotion cannot be combined with any other Easy Canvas Prints promotions.)

I love Dremel! Can’t you tell by the drunk-happy look on my face?!

Guys, I’ve been holding out on a serious secret!

I’m the feature article in this month’s Dremel Newsletter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

click here to read my story!

Dremel loved my pot rail post so much they asked me if they could share it in April’s newsletter! They lickity-split sent me my very own Dremel and the rest is history. I recreated the post for them using my new Dremel (instead of borrowing my BILs) and now I’m a famous newsletter girl.

** Dremel had me create a 2nd rack for my tutorial for them. Now I have two racks in my kitchen. I’ll do an update post soon showing off both at once. **

Please go read the article! I’m so excited about this.

Also, don’t forget to subscribe to the Dremel Newsletter so you won’t miss any future editions.

Thanks Dremel! You rock!

Oh boy oh boy. Who wouda-thunk asking people to link back to my blog last week would cause such a tizzy?!

The rule stands. BUT(!!!) (yes, there’s a BUT!) you just need my link on your blog somewhere. Anywhere. Put it in your post, in your signature, your sidebar, or a separate page. I don’t care where. Just have my link on your blog. I’m not even asking for a button (tho that would rock!). A text link or button is great. Capisce? Capisce!

It’s that time of the week again! Time for another amazingly awesome party!!

What’s more awesome than adding your links? Having people SEE your blog! So scratch other linkers’ backs and check out a few of their links as well.

Wanna know a secret for getting more exposure to your blog?! Go to other blogs and LEAVE REALLY NICE COMMENTS! If they like your comment, more than likely they will check out your blog too.

Here’s last weeks Hookin Up party #45 party in case you missed it.

Wanna get featured at my link party? Post awesome stuff and even more awesome pics. And give a good tutorial. I like Awesome. Plain and simple.

And if you don’t get featured, it doesn’t mean you aren’t awesome. It means I only have 10-12 slots, so try again next week!

Doooode, check out these super fabulous posts from last week’s party-harty.

I’ve seen flowers like this before, but this Layered Flower Hair Clip just spoke to me. I think it’s because it’s an awesome flower AND an awesome picture. Go check out the tutorial over at Christina’s Adventures.
