    Favorite Things Giveaway #1 MINWAX

    By Stacy 390 Comments

    **** THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED****

     

    Dude!!! I have had ants in my pants waiting for this week to get here! I can't believe my blog is turning ONE this month!!!!!

    I was thinking about how I wanted to celebrate this milestone and I knew whatever I did I wanted it to be something for my readers. YOU have made this year amazing. All the comments and emails have made me feel so good and carried me through hard times.

    The very first "live" post I did was a giveaway where I bought some of my favorite things and put them in a cute little red basket. I called it my favorite things giveaway. I thought it would be fun to, a year later, do something similar. But this time on a larger scale :)

    So we are going to have a giveaway everyday for the next week and a half. You guys are going to love it!

    First up is one of my favorite companies. They are amazing! I am sure if you have been a reader for a while,  you know I use this stuff all the time.

    Minwax has  generously offered to giveaway a STARTER KIT.

    This would be awesome whether you are new to staining or have been doing it awhile. It has everything!

    BEFORE YOU ENTER, YOU MUST BE A FOLLOWER OF MY BLOG. THIS IS AFTER ALL, A THANK YOU FOR MY FOLLOWERS :)

    There are 2 ways you can enter. You can do them both or just one.

    *Like MINWAX on Facebook (It would be nice if you told them thank you for the giveaway while you are there. . . hint hint :) )

    *Leave a comment telling me what your favorite MINWAX product is (Mine is the Gel Stain ) Or what you with this fun kit if you won.

    That is it!!! Good luck and be sure to check back tomorrow to see what the next giveaway is :)

      I would use it to refinish a few things I've had laying around. I like to pick up items from the thrift store that need to be refinished, but so far, I haven't bought the supplies, so they are just sitting in a pile!

      I'm going to be honest, I don't have a favorite product.... yet! Reading over your blog and seeing all your project ideas makes me excited to have one though. You are truly inspirational! Thank you. I have worked with stain before and it is not my favorite thing to do, so I'll try to gel stain next time.

      I'm gonna admit that I haven't used Minwax since I was a kid working on my parents' rental properties. I do, however, have a battered old nightstand I think would be nice to re-do so this would be a great motivation for that.

      I use the wood-filler all the time! Because I change my decor as often as I change my hair color, I have holes in walls - or I just heightened my baby gates (for dogs) because I just got kitties and they need to be able to ZOOM under them (and my labs can't) so there are a gazillion holes in the wall and I find the WOOD filler works a million times better than the polyfill yuk stuff for the drywall. It smoothes over more nicely, it sands more smoothly and refinishes to a smoothness that blends right in with the rest of the wall. I'd be LOST without it. PLUS, when I had my new deck built, seasoned wood always seems to have little "torn" areas in it, which can cause slivers. A swipe of the wood filler and boom! Instantly fixed. For an artist, it is as good as a glue stick!!! A lady's best friend! Besides being one of the best known names on the market, the full range of products are outstanding! Just the suggestion of another product conjures up more project ideas....(not fair...too many projects, not enough time!!!) lol. :) Squishy Hugs, Samara

      I like their stains, but have never used their gel stain yet and would love to try it on my kitchen cabinets. And I have ALOT of kitchen cabinets! Seeing as that I lost my job a few months ago when the business I worked for closed down suddenly, I have plenty of time on my hands now but not the funds for such an overhaul. (Have I mentioned I have ALOT of kitchen cabinets?!?) So, if I could WIN some product, now that would be a God send!

      I 'liked' Minwax on FB and told them thank you and that I would LOVE to try Minwax on my wood floor in my 101 year old home. I have read things that you and others have done and I think Minwax would be just the thing for my wood floor. I've been in the house five years now and I NEED THIS FLOOR done. :) :D Would love to win. Thank you!! Congrats on your year anniversary! I LOVE your blog...and come here often. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.

I'd love a chance to see how al these products work before investing so much $$ in them! I'll be willing to pay once I know what works for what I need but scared to throw money away if I pick the wrong kinds!
