A Celebration and A Give-Away!


You may remember this from a previous post... my giant magnetic boards.  The boards (I have 7 of them, I think!) are three feet by four feet, covered in fabric and framed in a simple wood frame.



Well, today I am celebrating!!  Not only is it my birthday but I am also celebrating that this little blog of mine has reached over 100 followers, for which I am so very grateful.

You don't know how much it has meant to me to have the support of all of you, new friends & old.  I can't thank you enough for your comments, suggestions & encouragement since I started this adventure just a couple of months ago.

To say Thank You in a big way, I am going to give away a Magnetic Board!  The winner can choose the fabric, color of frame & accents for the frame.  

I realize many of you are out-of-towners.  If you win, I will pay to ship the board to you.  
How about that?

What do you have to do to enter the give-away?  Become a follower!  That is it!  If you're already a follower, you'll be entered in the drawing automatically.

And, if you leave a comment on this post to tell me you're a follower, I'll enter your name twice :)  In your comment, I'd love to hear what your favorite project has been thus far or what you'd 
like to see more of here at A Few Good Pieces.

Some more pictures of the boards are below.  I had intended to have more completed (some custom orders I'm working on) but with it being my birthday, I got a dear friend to tag along on a furniture~shopping trip with me (can't wait to show you what I got, but it will be tomorrow) and then I spent the rest of the day with my family.  A perfect day, if you ask me!

So follow along!  And win a great magnetic board!

The contest is open until Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at midnight.







Thank you all so much for being you!

Love to all & thanks for visiting!

  4. Oooh I like my odds so I may just keep commenting! But hands down the antiqued blue dresser is my favorite but the gray side table is a close second.

  5. Glad you got to eat a lot of yummy bday cake. I love following your blog...I keep checking it out to see if there are any of your pieces which can fit in our house. It is hard to say which is my favorite piece...I wish your white china cabinet could fit in my dining room, and I also love the bench and lamps you have done. I am very impressed by how much you have done in such a small time b/c I know you are so busy at the boy's school, church, etc.

  16. Hello, I'm new here, glad I found you, I am planning to paint and re-stain my kitchen table and chairs just like in your "table & chairs" post, so that's my favourite project so far... (I still have lots of looking around here to do!)... it will help me along when I get to my table, mainly with staining the top.
