My husband and I have been religious about taking our reusable grocery bags to the grocery store every week. However, I’ve noticed lately that when I run other errands, like the drug store or mall, that it stings a little bit more when I have to use their plastic bags. It’s seemingly impossible to keep my reusable tote bags with me at all times and I wish I had a small one at hand in the event of an impromptu shopping trip. Here is where Delight.com comes in!

Yes, winnerS! I decided to pick two numbers to up everyone’s odds. Plus, for Valentine’s Day – everything comes in twos, right?
I loved everyone’s comments, and got some great ideas for Valentine’s Day. Amanda’s possible “Seduction & Passion” unveiling at the Art museum sounds adventurous, Claudia’s movie and chinese food sounds just my style, and Allie’s girls weekend at the amusement parks sounds like so much fun. I love girl days. But, now it’s time for the winners:


Congratulations to Morgan and Amanda! And thanks everyone else for playing. I couldn’t sleep last night so I came up with some ideas for some new prints.

I originally started the Idea Attic as home design tips, tricks, and idea sharing, but I’ve generated some interest in the graphic design/web work that I do. Recently, I’ve been getting many inquiries about blog designs, so I’m doing a Blog Design Giveaway where I’ll create a design for your blog!
HOW TO ENTER:
Click the comments link in the top right of this post to enter (or via comment box below depending on how you got to this post). PS – this must be a personal blog, not a business blog.
For a double entry – blog about the contest on your blog and put the link to the post in your comment.
OR
For a double entry – Twitter about the contest and link your twitter home page in your comment.
THE PROCESS:
If you win, this is how we start:
1. You tell me blogs or websites that you like the look of so I know what kind of style you like.
2. I create a design (background pattern and header image) and send you a jpg so you can see what direction I’m heading
3. You give me your feedback
4. I implement the design on your blog
Contest will close on Monday, January 12.
