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!

Awesome! I really, really want the little playhouse for the new place we’re buying!
Sign me up! Would love to have this. Thank you so much for chance. Hope you feel better soon; i have a cold, too. So miserable…
Love the arrow in this post…want the book to learn how to make that!
Such great ideas–I’d love to have this book! Thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks for the chance to win. I love all their styling in the pics above!!
Would love this book!
Great summer projects! Hoping my teens will be up for crafting with Mom – I have plans!
This looks so great – I have lived in my house for 9 years, and I still don’t know what I want to do with it. You always give me great ideas!
Wow, looks like a ton of wonderful projects!!
Ok. So not only would I love the book, but I want them to adopt me so I can live in their backyard, that’s rad, I would camp out in there and read my favorite blogs! It gets wifi right???
LOOVE these ideas! Layla, you are so inspiring, and I would love to win a copy of this book!
Looks amazing! I’ll have to check it out! Feel better soon!!
Beautiful! Cutest outdoor playhouse I’ve ever seen.
Wow, what great ideas in this book!!
That book looks super cool. Gotta have it!
What a neat book full of awesome projects! I would love a copy of it so I could create some of them for our home.
This looks like a great inspiring read:)
What some neat ideas!! What kid wouldn’t love that treehouse? I’d love to see more 🙂
Those frames are awesome! My sister just adopted 2 little boys from Ethiopia and we were looking for cute frames to put their pics in! Now I am inspired!

I read your blog everyday…I feel like I know you, and love your posts. I wish I could be more like the bloggers that I read about everyday. You are very inspirational.
Love it! Thanks for the sneak peek.
Yeah… thanks so much for the giveaway, but i’m more excited for the chance to say that I recently found your blog and I’ve been going through all of your archives and just falling in love with you guys. You are the cutest and have such amazing talent… it’s been a serious thrill reading about all you do, <3
That looks like a great book! I wish I still lived in Alabama so I could take advantage of their yard sale!
Would love to win their e-book. I have been a follower of their blog for quite some time now. Love your blog and hope you are feeling better soon.
I NEED a copy of this book. Love her style sooo much.
LOVE the frame-within-a-frame-within-a-frame…
I’m loving these frames. I dont have the budget to put into art for my walls. I have black picture frames with pictures that I have been wanting to put on the walls, but I feel as if my house will look like a shrine to my little boys by just using those black frames all over the house. I think these frames are a great way to add a little “art” while still displaying my boys and not looking like a crazy mom!
What a nice Mothers’ Day gift!
what a great giveaway! thanks for hosting.
Hope you feel better soon!
Love the pictures from Handmade Walls. My favorite is the “Yummy” over the kitchen cabinets!
looking for inspiration for my blank walls… Interested in this ebook.
I love the picture frames!
I love their site! Just like yours, I follow them everyday.
My son will be playing baseball in Cullman on the 18th, or I would definately be at their garage sale.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Awesome artwork! We just did wood floors in our kitchen and have some scraps–will try something with the leftover wood!
OH! that playhouse! I would love a copy of the book.
I enjoy your blog, Layla, you have such a positive spirit! Thank you for sharing.
I would love to win. The book looks wonderful and inspiring.

Absolutely adore that arrow sign! Take care if yourself Layla.
It’s my birthday on Sunday so I need to win some “inspiration” for walls I’m redoing in my office/studio!
Would love a copy of this book.
Wow. Looks like a great book. I will have to find a copy (unless of course I happen to win!).
I definitely need visuals to create. They are awesome just like you and Kevin!
P.S. I sure hope you get better soon. There have been so many people that are having a hard time kicking this crud! You will be in my prayers. <3
I’d enjoy this book!
Fun book!!! Feel better soon!!
