200

So here we are. I never paid attention to how many blog posts I had written until I noticed the count getting somewhere near 190. I’ll take any excuse to celebrate – so raise your glasses and toast to the 200th post since January 2008 on ohbrooke.

Willow has so graciously offered to host our celebratory giveaway with her very cute Birdie Art and Picture Clips {she must have known we LOVE birds}. Check out her unique and creative etsy shop here.

rume bag giveaway!

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!

I have become a recent subscriber to Delight.com: a website that showcases one useful and pertinent product per day. I subscribe to their website through my google reader and I am enjoying wide range of products that I have seen so far.

Delight.com is celebrating their 2 year anniversary this month and are sponsoring a fun giveaway for us! 2 winners will receive a set of three compact and durable reusable RuMe tote bags! Besides functional, these bags are so ridiculously cute. The winner will be able to choose which patterns they would like to receive. Check out Delight.com to see the cute patterns!

I have been a little distracted over the weekend from recent happenings at my 9-to-5 job, so no life-altering Monday posts. HOWEVER – tomorrow I’ve got a GIVEAWAY for you, sponsored by delight.com. Pop over to their website to get a heads up on what they’ve got and get ready for fun little giveaway tomorrow!

Love Print Giveaway Winners!

February 7, 2009

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.

Design for your blog GIVEAWAY

Blog Design Giveaway

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.
