And The Winner Is…..
As you may know, we are hosting a very neat little contest that’s just wrapping up and is currently in the judging stages. We have results in from one judge already, and the suspense is very thick around here…. there’s $5000 dollars on the line - HELLO!
Winners of that contest won’t be announced till this Friday, December 7th, 2007.
So, in order to temporarily satisfy the ‘WHO WON?’ itch, we held an open contest over the weekend for anyone to write a creative post about our recently added ‘Christmas tree decorating ideas’ page. See our free decorated Christmas tree pictures for some of the lovely trees in our collection. We had a handful of great posts that shared about everything from family Christmas tree picking day to needing to decorate the tree to accommodate ‘new hands’ in the house, but, as we’re sure you’ll agree, (my Mom was the judge of this contest, and I just hung up the phone with her….) the winner of this little contest we held for a $100 grand prize, has to go to….
The Winner Is:
Project Kraemer Lane!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Brett and Rich from Project Kraemer Lane put together a very fitting post and decorated the perfectly themed tree for our weekend contest, with beautiful festive images to get us eternal remodelers into the holiday spirit.
Read their winning post: “Remodeling The Christmas Tree!”
We just had to show you this tree! While offering us a photo of their front door wreaths, they also offered up this hilariously perfect little Christmas tree whimsically decorated with the materials of our obsessions… Possibly decorated as a misunderstanding of our contest guidelines, the outcome turned out to be a true winner!
As they state in their notebook, the tree is “Bedazzled with hexagon tiles, steel wool, sanding paper, electrical wire, paint brushes, mini cans of paint, paint swatches, door knobs, painter’s tape, sawdust for snow, and topped with a saw blade star, it’s a statement of our situation!”
Thanks for making us smile, guys! We think your post is truly bookmarkworthy!!

WOW! Thanks!! And “Thank You” to Paul’s Mom for picking our poor little tree as the winner! You made our day!
We had a fun time putting it together–We’ll use any excuse that takes us away from sanding woodwork around here for a few minutes!!
