**** 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 liked Minwax on FB.
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 like them on facebook
I so need to refinish my kitchen table would love to see what products they have for that.
I follow you on Bloglovin'. I have so many projects waiting for those MinWax Helpers! My front door, an old table of my Grandma's, my dining room table, etc. etc. Help me get started!

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 would use it to finish my kitchen table.

I like the Polycrylic...used it on my last furniture re-do and it went on really nicely.
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 don't have any experience with minwax products so I don't have a favorite, but I have an old dresser I use as a buffet in my dining room that I really want to restain.
We liked Minwax on FB.
I love the gel stain, too! It's so easy to wipe on and off with just a rag, and I love that you can use it over previously finished wood. Thanks for hosting this terrific giveaway!
I also like the gel stain, but it is the only one that I have tried. This would be such a nice way to try all of their products. I am sure you are going to give us plenty of tip on how to use their products.
Happy Blogaversary!
I have this old, abused kitchen table that could use some TLC from the Minwax Wood Cleaner, of course, that would be after a serious cleaning - since my boys have smeared every food group on it at least twice!
I also Liked Minwax on Facebook.
Thank u for the opportunity to win this prize!!! I love staining and preserving wood "relics"!! I'm constantly picking up projects-to-be at the thrift stores and giving them a new coat of paint or stain to make them look beautiful again! I would LOVE this prize!!

OH wow, what wouldn't I use their stuff on? I want to use their waxes on some furniture I plan on painting/refinishing and we used only minwax stains on our floors when my husband refinished them.

My kitchen table needs some serious love and I am guessing there is a product in the box that could help. I also want to build a homework table for my girls. Sometimes I wish I was you and then I would know how to do all the projects that I want to do.

I love their dark walnut stain. I am about to make a growth chart for my son's room.

I love Mini Wax products. I always go to their stains after I paint something, just to tone it down and antique it a bit. Their poly is great to protect those paint jobs and I really would love to try the gel stain.
Getting ready to refinsh our fireplace mantle a nice chocolate brown. This would be fun to use.
I " liked" them on FB.
I would love to re- do my front door using the gel stain.
Your box of Minwax is happier than a box of chocolate candy because it makes me think of the table that my great-aunt gave me that I refinished and put Minwax poly on and the rocker we found in an alley and used the Minwax Gel on..... better than chocolate is really good!!
thanks for the giveway. i've liked minwax on facebook -- oh the projects i could do. my dining room table might be my first project or maybe one of the bazillion crafty things bopping around in my head. thanks again, and congratulations. katharine.
Hey there, I love Minwax products!!! I happen to love the Gel Stain too! I am a avid furniture refinisher and do that to supplement our Missionary income. I currently have 62 projects sitting in my garage and am on a pickup ban from the hubby..."Nothing new in until some things...scratch that...MANY things go out!!!"
I also just "liked" them on FB
...getting ready to paint some furniture...plan on some minwax stain detailing work to add interest...since this is my first "major" project, a starter set would be verrrrrry handy!!!

I have been a big fan of the Dark Walnut Stain and I would love to try the wipe on Poly! Thank You!
I could really use some of that wood filler for several projects I am working on. :)

Stacy, thanks for the giveaway. Like you my favorite
minwax product is the gel sain in walnut. I really hope i win. Congrats on turning 1 year.
Thanks for the giveaway! I "liked" minwax on facebook, and I'll just copy what I wrote on their page... When I bought my house a few years ago, I used the gel stain to redo the dresser I've used since I was a little kid. It looks like new and makes a fine addition to my guest room. I've been using it every chance I get since then.
I liked minwax on facebook, thanked them for the giveaway and I like the gel stain, beginning some bedroom redos.
I have actually never used minwax or stained anything but I do dream of building a bench and staining it

Congrats! Happy Anniversary. You're a girl after my own heart - love Minwax stuff. I like the Polyshades cause they're fast and once I get started on a project I want to get it finished fast. (Hey, a pun...)
I love using MinWax products - I am in the process of redoing our interior design room by room and with all of the wood stuff we have or will be purchasing, it would be great to have this starter kit to help me do all of the necessary refinishing!
I love using the MinWax Wipe-On Poly. It is so easy to use! I use it on almost everything I refinish. Would LOVE to try out some of these other products!
I have liked minwax on facebook!
The Starter Box looks amazing! My interest is peaked by the swatch cards, they would come in handy when trying to pick a color to match what you already have. I have stairs that I need to redo one step edge, how can I get that to the store to match? I always seem to buy one shade lighter or darker, UGH! I need to find one of those!
Fun! I think I would use it to stain our new sideboard top that Handsome is making for the dining room! Woohoo! :)
I love Polyshades and I could sure use some on my kitchen table. It's seen a lot of love and cookie rolling, but it's look worse for the wear.
I liked Minwax on FB and left a comment about their giveaway
I would love to use some Minwax on my kitchen cabinets but I'm a little bit chicken!
I'm in the middle of a room makeover for my daughter. I would totally be able to use some of these products to finish up! Thanks for the chance!
I have just been introduced to this world and would absolutely LOVE to have the starter kit to begin all of my new & fun projects around my house.
I love the Polyshades for refreshing worn pieces without having to completely sand off the old finish, and it saves time on unfinished wood as well. I would use the kit one several projects waiting to be worked on in the garage!
I love the polyurethane! It leaves such an amazing strong finish! Thanks so much :)
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 never stained anything in my life, but I have several projects I would love to do. So this would be awesome to help me learn!
I have been working on refinishing our kitchen table. Just bought some minwax stain to use. this is my first time but hubby is a carpenter and that's all he uses! I have liked minwax on FB. Thanks!
I have so many pieces of furniture that could use a face-lift. China cabinet, hutch, book shelves, tables. Oooh! The endless possibilities.
When we moved into our new (3 decades old) house I made a huge list of things to do. We got the painting done, but not much else. This house was built in the 80's so I've got lots of wood re-staining to do. Banisters, bathroom vanities, might get daring and do the kitchen cabinets! I would love me some of that gel-stain. Thanks for the giveaway. P.S. I've liked minwax on FB and told them thanks too!
My favorite product is their gel stain too! It's pretty much the bomb! Love their Walnut color,
I have never used there products, but now is the time to start!
I just bought an older rocking horse that looks like my grandmother painted. I can't wait to strip the paint off and go to town with some stains. this kit would be perfect!
I love the gel stain too.

My product is the wood conditioner...great to use before staining.
I've been looking for DIY blogs lately, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this site. I would use the set to spice up a pair of bedside tables I recently bought. They are in serious need of some TLC!

I liked minwax on FB.
If I won I'd use it on a few furniture projects that need some loving attention.
Liked 'em on FB too...my favourite products are the pre-stain wood conditioner (what a DIFFERENCE it makes!) and the Polycrylic...use it on nearly every piece I re-do!
I would use this product to refinish a dresser for my entertainment center! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have a piece that my grandfather built for my parents when they got married. It needs a bit of TLC and this kit would be a perfect way to help me bring it back to its prime!
yay Minwax! i love the poly for protecting all my projects.
I have never used stain before. i have a few pieces of furniture i would like to stain.

I have never stained before but I would love to use this kit to fix up a little old table that my husband pulled out of someones trash years ago. It used to be cute, but my five kids have aged it a lot!
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 bought the gel stain because you said to - - and I LOVED it!!
I like the gel stain - it's so easy to use!
I've never used the products before but I'm excited to try! Thanks for the awesome giveaways!

I would really like to use the Gel Stain, since you've recommended it so highly.

I've never used Miniwax before so this would be great to get me moving. I have a table that would look great in a dark walnut stain.

I like the stainable woodfill. Sadly, it has come in handy a few times!
I like the stain stick markers for my touch ups!!
I love the fast drying polyurethane. It's a great tough finish. I use a lot of their products, love them all. Have used their finishing paste too! Would love to win this. What a fabulous giveaway!

if I won this kit, I have this awesome idea to redo my dresser in our master bedroom, my husband purchased it for our 10th year anniversary and it will be our 40th this November, so I would love to redo it totally. I also have a surprise up my sleeve that my son is helping me with, to redo his workbench in the garage with all new shelving and an awesome pullout sit on storage bench for him. so this kit would be so useful....

OH
How fun! My fav may be the poly, but I could use it all!
I'm already a follower of yours and Minwax! Thanks for the giveaway!
The wipe-on poly is DREAMY!
If I were to win this amazing giveaway I would use the kit to build my own bed. We are in desperate need of a new bed and I refuse to pay full price for one ;)
I have used the Gel Stain. So fun to use! The other items in the box all look ingtriguing! I am inspired by your bathroom re-do, and I think I would tackle my bathroom cabinets AND the mirror! Often the good ol' budget rules what I get to do at my house.
I haven't used anything Minwax yet, but I plan on doing so in the near future! I have an old lamp table in storage that my grandma gave me. It needs some serious refinishing before I can use it, so that is first on my staining list. I also want to re-stain an old rocking chair. Thanks for the chance to win!

I would refinish a kitchen table! We have a breakfast nook that really needs a little table at but i really don't want to buy a new one I want something old, sturdy with character!
I have only stained anything once, but I loved how easy it was! If I won, it would be a kick in the booty to finally build a table that I have been wanting to make. I would stain it to match my bench.

Liked them on facebook, and joined your followers! I would refinish my son's desk.. it is an old door on top of a sewing machine base. Very fun, but def needs a finish before the homework assignments start coming in!
I love the gel stains. Just finished using it to redo a piece of my grandmother's furniture that was handed down to me.
I love the gel stains also! I would use the kit to stain some fabulous shelves I have!
I love that you give us tips on what the best products are! I would love to use these products possibly to re-stain my kitchen cabinets (if I ever get up the courage!) and for other painting projects around my home. I am a SAHM who also finds DIY projects a great hobby and creative outlet! :)
I've only used one minwax product so far and that's their polyurethane in clear gloss. I love the way it shines. I'm redoing some chairs to use at the foot of my bed in the master bedroom along with a million other projects that has minwax written all over it.

I LOVE the gel stain, we have an older house and always re-configuring things we can still stain all of our new wood to look like the old!

Their polyshades are my current favorite. Living in an older home and replacing worn out wood- this stuff has come in handy and is super easy to work with!
I would LOVE to build some new furniture or find some at Goodwill or a yard sale to refinish. I would LOVE winning this kit. Thanks!!
I have only used regular Walnut stain on our trim in the basement, but have envy of the gel stain tutorial from your front door! That'd be my favorite minwax product

To be honest-I'm scared to stain just because I don't know what products to use. But if I win this you can bet I'll be staining away. I really would like to stain my kitchen table to give it an updated look. Thanks so much for doing such an awesome giveaway and Happy Blog Birthday!!
