Handmade Walls

By

Well, I was hoping to be over this cold by now, but not only is it still completely rockin’ my world- I woke up with pink eye yesterday, too. And by pink “eye”, I mean pink eyes. Sheesh! Anywho, I’ve been trying my hardest to take it easy. Resting, reading…all that good stuff. Yesterday, I e-read Handmade Walls, by our local friends, Ashley and Jamin Mills…

I knew those two were creative…

…but man it was cool to see how they break down the methods to their magnificence, step-by-step style!

Their e-book walked me through the creation of 22 different projects. Each of them varied slightly in cost-to-make and level of difficulty, and each of them had it’s own nifty name. One of my favorites is the Stanley. Here’s a sneak peek…

And here’s a sneak peek at some of the other goodies included in their book:

When I was finished reading it, I texted Ashley to see if I could purchase another copy to give away here today. She said yes (yay!), so if you’d like to enter for a chance to win, just leave a comment on this blog post (email subscribers will need to visit TheLetteredCottage.net to enter), and I’ll randomly select a winner at 10pm (CST) on Sunday night. (May 12, 2013)

Good luck and happy weekend!

PS- Alabama peeps: Ashley and Jamin are having a yard sale on May 18th!

    I love their backyard playhouse! I know my daughter would LOVE something like that. Unfortunately… I am not a DIY’er as an adoptive (and bio), single mom… but wish I was and almost feel like I am due to watching all of you do such fun projects! I actually want to redo my whole house to look like a cottage but have so many things from the past 20 years cluttering things up, I have no idea (and little money) how to start!!

    Thanks for always being so inspirational with all your posts! I am such an infrequent commenter but have followed you since almost the beginning! I am so excited about your adoption journey too!!

    Feel better soon!

    OH! I am always looking for ways to spice up our walls-especially living in a rental where painting is forbidden. 🙁 I would LOVE to pour over this book!
