This Old DooR & My First GiVEaWaY!

I found this door on one of my junk shopping trips. I think I paid $5 or $10 for it. It is an old swinging kitchen door. I couldn't help but day dream of the house it come from and the woman whose kitchen it hid; I just LoVED it so much. It was stained dark and looked like it had lived a hard life when I got it. She sat in my garage for a year or so until I found the perfect use for her. See my closet is pretty small (well I think it is anyways) and I needed a place to put my scarves, belts, hats, long necklaces; you know all that odds and ends stuff. Really I just needed a lot of hooks. So this is what I came up with.

She sits in the corner of my room next to my vanity. All I did was give her a quick spray with my trusty rattle can and then some light sanding. Then I went to Hobby Lobby and found every one of these gorgeous hooks; they were all 50% off. I painted the hooks the same color as the door because I wanted it to look as if they might be one piece.
Here's a close up of them.






That brings me to the my exciting news.

I'm doing my first GiVEaWaY ever!

It's a $30.00 gift card to
my FaVoRiTE StoRe.

If you don't live by a Hobby Lobby don't worry, they have an online store. You can check it out here shop.hobbylobby.com if you want. I could spend hours shopping at this store.

Here’s how to enter:
1.All my  followers as of now (3/4/2011 @10:00am)- 2 entries (No need to enter and Thank you so much!)
2.Become a new follower- 1 entry
3.Blog about the giveaway on your blog or post this giveaway  link for me- 1 entry
4. Post this giveaway on your Facebook page- 1 entry

 And because I am trying to get followers,

5.Refer a friend, they have to become a follower and then have them leave me a comment at the bottom of this post telling me that you referred them- 2 entries for both of you

You have to leave a comment on this post with your first name (or nickname).  Also you need to tell me all the ways you entered so I know how many times to put you name in the drawing (just one comment per follower please). As soon as I hit the 50 follower mark, I will do the drawing at random.org. 
                              
                                    Good Luck and EnJoY!
