So here’s the deal.
Sometime within the last few weeks, I thought to myself, “Hey, I think it’s been a year since I started blogging!” I checked my handy-dandy blog dashboard, and sure enough, I started in July 2010. And I could swear that the first post was on July 25, so I decided that would be the day to start a giveaway. Well, guess what. Apparently I have been wordier than I thought, and there was another, older page of old posts! Huh. Apparently my “blogiversary” was on July 14! But…better late than never, right?
I browsed though my “project” folders on my computer, and I’d thought I’d share a few of my favorites…most from before the days before I knew anything about picture editing or staging (and I still don’t know a lot)!
This may be the project that started it all. I wanted a wall unit for my front room, and this is the result. I have a nearly uncontrollable urge to re-paint them in a creamy white now…
A pink chandelier for my daughter’s bedroom…
Learning to use my secondhand Cricut (I’m a Silhouette girl now)!
Learning that spray paint comes in such fun colors!
A bench makeover before I learned how to re-cane furniture…
I wanted to keep this library table so bad. My husband wanted to keep his IKEA desk. What’s up with that??
Recycling an old canvas…
Still in love with these schoolhouse chairs!
I’m a sucker for red (and more numbers)…
I love numbers on pretty much anything!
And not just numbers…I just love typography, as demonstrated by my French chocolate coffee table (my most popular project ever)!
Hope you enjoyed your trip down memory lane with me!
Most importantly, I want to say
to all of you who have taken the time to make kind comments, give advice, encouragement, and support. I love the “blog world,” and I’m happy I joined up!
Now, for the giveaway!
The winner will receive a beadboard sign of his/her choice!
If you have a particular saying, color, size, etc…I can work with that.
Here are a few ideas to get you going, but I’m open to all sorts of possibilities!
Here are a few ways to enter the giveaway. Please leave a comment for each one you choose to do!
- Please be a follower of Red Hen Home (mandatory).
- “Like” Red Hen Home on Facebook.
- Mention this giveaway on your blog or Facebook page (please link back).
- Leave a comment telling me one good thing that happened to you or for you today!
Good luck!
Random winner will be selected on Monday, August 1.

one good thing that happened--Louie (the grand dog that I have permanent custody of) ASKED for a bath! I was getting ready to take a shower, and he walked in the bathroom, and looked into the tub. Usually when I mention "bath" he runs. But, not today... he just kept looking at the tub. Not sure why he wanted a bath, but I love it when he communicates with me like that! (now I get to cuddle with a clean pup)
gail
Yeah! I am already, as you know from all the harrassment, a follower!!! lol
One good thing that happened to me today..... My daughter helped me organize my studio. It had been such a mess due to the flood in the house and subsequent construction. It is now back in order, and if possible, even better!!!!!
I also LOVE this idea of writing something good that happened. I have read all the comments above me. I really enjoyed reading them. Nothing like thankful people!:)

I'm a follower! congrats on the one year anniversary :)
I got to come home today and spend quality time with my husband - acting like we were kids again :) I'd say that's a pretty good thing that has happened to me!
I had a really great thing today happen, I figured out how I can save a really old chair that was my mothers and be able to use it. It is a very unusual chair and I did not want to not be able to keep it.
Good thing that happened to me today - I had lots of laughs at work today (it's usually pretty stressful) but the weather is good and everyone is happy! Thanks Korrie,
Peggy

Today I was reminded of how lucky I am to have a wonderful man who will soon be my husband... and how much I really do love him.

It may seem silly, but the best thing that happened to me today was to come home to a clean house (bathrooms, floors, EVERYTHING) that I didn't have to clean!
Oh, how I love your blog and read it every day! The good thing that happened to me today was I took my kids to have lunch with my wonderful 90 year grandmother. She's a gem!
Happy Blogiversary Korrie! I'm happy to be following along!
Well, it's only 6am, so not too much has happened yet today, but I went to bed early last night and got some much needed rest. That's a good thing!

Your blogiversery is exciting for you and inspiring to me. Congratulations! I launched a blog this past weekend and I can only hope that it will be as vibrant and inspirational a year from now as yours is today.
i am a follower, and it was so fun walking down memory lane with you and al your great projects!
one good thing that happened to me today was there was just enough coffee left for me to make a cup this morning. :)
I recently discovered your website and love it!! I have been itching to try out your projects and my daughter and I have been scouring the thrift stores looking for our "treasures". The good thing that happened today was the joy of a really great laugh. My mother-in-law used her new waterproof camera to video herself going down a waterslide. Her and I laughed until we cried as we watched it together. It is amazing what a good laugh will do for you. Thank you so much for all of your amazing projects and inspiration! Can't wait to see what other wonderful ideas you show us!
I'm a follower. Love your stuff.

I received a call from my mother-in-law inviting me out to dinner tonight! That is a great thing! :-)
mrlcoy@yahoo.com
I did it! Enter me away!! :D
Good thing that happened to me today:
I was holding my breath all the way to Home Depot with big sheets of metal in the back of my truck that if we were in an accident, would cut off our heads. I held my breath pretty much the whole way there and after exchanging for another color, the whole way home. Big sheets of metal for the chicken coop roof. :) The fresh eggs sign would look awesome on their coop when we finally get the dumb thing finished.
A good thing that happened to me today ~ I stopped having fever and chills.

I work at a nursing home as a C.N.A/Team Leader in the Dementia Unit. And when I got to work, one of my residents looked at me and said, "Where have you been, Sandi? I missed you. It's not the same without you here." And that made my day. This resident never called me by my name before and is a very quiet resident. So her acknowledgeing that I wasn't there (I had the day off) just melted my heart.
