Do you remember me telling you guys that I won the Purdy grand prize at the Haven Conference earlier this summer? Well, my prize arrived! Inside the box was this..
$1000 worth of Purdy products!
OH MY GOODNESS! I’m the luckiest DIY girl in the world today. I won’t have to buy paint supplies for quite awhile. Awesome!
Want to see what $1000 worth of Purdy looks like?
It looks Purdy awesome. Imagine the projects I can complete with this stash of goodies!
~*~*~*~
And if that wasn’t exciting enough? I have more fun news. Some of you have noticed and have sent me tweets, FB notes and comments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Seriously…I’m on cloud 9! And your thoughtfulness has made me feel so special the last couple of days. Thanks for noticing, thanks for taking the time to tell me you’ve seen it!
It’s no secret that I use FrogTape a lot. A LOT a lot. (with the apartment renovation: almost every day!) Well, I recently had a dream come true opportunity to promote FrogTape, a product I do believe in and use in real life – in an advertisement! Woo hoo! You can see an ad in…
Country Living, September 2012
House Beautiful, September 2012
~*~*~*~
Thanks so much to FrogTape and Purdy for making my DIY and painting projects so much easier. Amen, right?

I saw your ad in CL mag for Frogtape and I was so excited for you I almost cried like I was excited for a friend. LOL I’m a sap. Anyway it was great seeing you in an ad for CL magazine but now you need to be featured in it. I’ll be seeing my step brothers girlfriend at the end of the month and I’m going to mention you (she’s one of the editors). You NEED to be in CL magazine.
I was just hired to paint a new office for a friend and could definitely use some supplies! Thanks for the opportunity!
Cool Giveaway! Congrats on all your success!

Ok, for real, I need to invest in stock of both of these uh-mazing products. I am fixing up our house built in 1976. Wait…let that sink in. 19…76. I go through buckets of Purdy brushes and Frog Tape. And not because Purdy brushes don’t last, but because I love them and have at least 3 loaded with paint and in plastic baggies in my fridge. I’m lazy about washing them out and have painters ADD. I jump between rooms.
That was way more than “hi.” I would LOVE to win your giveaway. Thanks for being so generous and sharing!!!

Oh my gosh, Roeshel! Congratulations! I just saw the ad in Country Living. It looks amazing! And congratulations on your win! That is an amazing amount of painting supplies! I’m so excited for you. Keep up the good work and inspiring others.
Thanks for the nice giveaway. It would help me get motivated to finish the princess bench I made out of a twin bed!
Wow! What a fabulous win! Congrats! My next project will be starting in a few weeks when I’ll be re-doing my 5 year-old’s bedroom. She’ll be starting kindergarten that week and I promised her a “re-vamp”! 🙂
Wow! I would love to try either of the two products.
woo hoo, what a great giveaway! I “met” you when I stumbled across your kitchen makeover and fell in love with it! Again congrats on the ad. You’re amazing!

I hadn’t seen your Frog Tape ads. I’m really happy for you. You are a perfect spokesperson. I leaned about Frog Tape from you, before that, I was using the blue painter’s tape. I am finding it great for all sorts of projects. I even use it to mark lines for my quilting projects.
I’m working on painting a wonderful desk I snagged at Goodwill. It has the most fabulous glass pulls and knobs! I’m excited!
Congrats on all your exciting news.
Since I go through paint brushes about as quickly as we devour a gallon of milk I’d luv to share in your Purdy duplicates. And I’m currently painting horizontal stripes on my wall and the. only. tape. I’d use for that is Frog Tape … I seem to go through a lot of that too. Hope you send some my way!

What a great giveaway :):) I adore you, Roeshel and I’ve never even met you IRL. You just seem so down to earth and real. Someone who would be a true friend. My husband is a general contractor/superintendent for a small construction firm and let me tell you, his top item to have available is Frog Tape, he buys it by the case, not the roll!!! And Purdy brushes truly are the best. If you take care of them they last and last! But hell girl – you won’t have to buy brushes for a LONG TIME!!!!
Oh and CONGRATS on the ads, I saw on FB and literally yelled out “I kind of know her!”.
Hi Roeshel! Love DIY Showoff, Purdy and FrogTape! : )
Wow that’s a lot of paint brushes. Congrats to you.
Great site! I saw you in “country Living” and referred my readers to your site. My blog is very new. Come and take a look!
Thanks, Jeanne! I can’t get to your site. 🙁
Darn!! Please try again. I just added some before and afters.
Take care….
Thanks for the awesome giveaway and for a fabulous blog. Those brushes and tape will come in handy for a few furniture redos and my master bedroom decor projects!! Jaime
I would love to win, I have a lot of painting to do.
I am jealous x 1000 – in al of my crazy home improvements and running kids around…I ruined my last 2 really good purdy brushes (I am still crying about it!). I bought that issue of Home Beautiful just because you were in it! Love ya!

Hi!! We repainted and DIYed some shades in our kitchen earlier this summer. (I LOVE their paint brushes- angled brushes saved me so much time because it minimized the taping!!) Now working on a smaller project to store/display my jewelry. Thanks for the chance to snag some swag!!
Just bought a house that needs a lot of tlc so I’m bouncing from project to project! Right now getting the half bath and living room ready to paint. Then will come kitchen, dining room, 3 bedrooms and another bathroom!!! Oh, the family room and laundry room will be done too!
Hi Roeshel,
I met you blogging 🙂 I wanted to tell you that I am so so happy for you
to be featured in not only one magazine…. but two in the same year!!! You so deserve it!!! Your home is beautiful!!! May God continue to bless you!!!
