FrogTape® earn your stripes contest :: enter to win $5,000

3 11I think most of you know about my love story with FrogTape®, but if you do not, I would like to give you a little refresher and then tell you about an awesome contest!When I first started painting furniture I used painters tape. It said painters tape on the label and so I bought it and used it, but I always had bleed issues and was never really satisfied with the results I got. So, I didn't use it a lot except to mask off drawer sides and runners. In other words...I did not use it creatively in my work.Then one day, I was in Home Depot and I saw this new tape that promised no bleed marks and clean edges. I was intrigued, and so I bought a roll....and the rest is history. I was so impressed with this tape, that it became the only tape I used. I was never paid to endorse it or talk about it ( even during my book Furniture Makeovers) ....I just used it and talked about it because it is truly superior to other products out there.Fast forward to last year around Christmas. FrogTape® contacted me and asked me to become part of their blog squad. This collaboration made sense to me because it is a product I use weekly in my work and it would not be hard to use it, promote it, and love it since that was already happening. So, even though I am now a blog squad member and I do receive compensation for my work with FrogTape® nothing has changed on my end. I still create when I want, what I want, and FrogTape® is an extremely wonderful and generous  group of people to work with. I'm thankful to be part of the team!Now for the good stuff!

FYI- A doe, a deer, a donkey, and a roo

I am so excited to be carrying this brand spankin' new line of goods at Knack! These dancing deer, donkey boy, and kangaroo pillows seriously had me doing a jig when I opened the package! I did a jig, and twirled, and let out a little choked sob scream wail chortle.....and then looked around and was very thankful the paper is still on the windows so that no one had to be subjected to such frivolity and craziness.It almost makes me feel guilty that I get so excited about a shipment of pillows...but then again, if I didn't... I should just quit and close up shop.... pronto. I am very intentional about each and every item that I hand select and put the Knack stamp of approval on...and these have Knack written all over them! Stamp, stamp, stamp!These pillows are just the first part of the goodies to come in this line....look for much more to come!{pillows are $58 ea and are available for immediate purchase} xo,Barb
