Shabby Chic Cottage Giveaway!

Hi, everyone.
Before I begin, let me say how excited I was to be featured on Today's Creative Blog! So exciting - a great place to see awesome projects and really creative folks.
Secondly, this giveaway has been in the works since I hit 150 followers. I'm sticking to that so I can have ANOTHER giveaway for 200 followers right around the corner.
Without further adieu, let me introduce my wonderfully encouraging friend Gina, from Shabby Chic Cottage. You probably already know her if you like cute and inspired creations!



Gina's blog is wonderful - I've gotten a lot of inspiration from her cool features, like
- including Gina's own contribution - starfish ornaments! This is SO CUTE!!!
Here's another of my favorite tutorials - she makes it look EASY!


So Gina has been kind enough to help me celebrate 150 followers with a ... drum roll, please ...
$50 gift certificate to her Shabby Chic Etsy Shop!
She has her items grouped into several categories - maybe one, or all, of them fit your style:
Are you coastal cottage? country cottage? Paris apartment? urban farmhouse? shabby attic? the conservancy? the nest (love that)?
Here are some of my favorites:

I. want. these. starfish. wands. Seriously.

This reminds me of my cute beach cruiser, Coco. She wants me to ride her. Today!
Cream and black toile. What else is there to say?

I HEART birds. And I didn't even show you the bees. Gina has bees, too!

 I love the black Paris postmark on this little white pot.  My pencils want to live here.

So how do you enter? Here's the drill:
1) MANDATORY: please go to Gina's shop and tell me how you would spend your $50 gift certificate.
2) Follow me on Google Friend Connect and leave a comment telling me you did (or you are).
3) Follow me on Twitter and leave a comment telling me you did with your twitter name in it.
4) Heart (favorite) Gina's Shabby Chic Etsy shop and leave a comment telling me you did.
5) Follow Gina on Google Friend Connect and leave me a comment telling me did (or you are).

This giveaway will run through midnight on August 5, when my beautiful daughter turns 25 in New York with me there to celebrate with her.  I'll announce the lucky winner on August 6.  Good luck, everyone!
