OK, and I know I have made you sit through a(n) *ahem* few posts on Building Moxie’s efforts and our ultimate trip to the Remodeling Show in Chicago last month.  I promise – I only have two, OK, maybe three or so more planned in the series . . . and of course that would be barring any that Barry might still want to post (sorry).

When I started this online fundraiser (and yes, I will take all the blame) back in April, even I didn’t know how many good and giving people we had in our (extended) community.  But today – I want to take the time to give a little bit of that love back.  First — to those who helped us get there, and second — to those who helped us make the trip great.

Giving thanks (it is that time of year, almost) & a Giveaway … for You, You, You

To our sponsors (and specifically):

Cyra Duquella at Duquella Tile – Rumor has it that The DIY Network has contacted her again, and wants to use the Tile Temptress Fairy’s goodie tile goodness again. Thank you Cyra.

Christiane Erwin and Stephanie Rogers at Crestview Doors — HAVE you seen their new(ish) Redi-Screens? Thanks to these Atomic Cool ladies out of Austin.

Stacey Nachajski at Crown Point Cabinetry —  What can I say?  I guess they just wanted someone to hang with at the Show.  j/k :~) No really – Gorgeous cabinets.  You. Will. Love. Them. Thanks out to new(ish) mommy Stacey.

Here’s how I am going to give it away:  Check the list below.  If you are not one of the 15 names there, then — why don’t you enter? …  We’ll take the first five, a 1 in 20 chance to win — pretty good!

The Drawing:  I’m gonna go old school on it.  I’ll enter the names into a hat and my daughters Evyn and Eva will pick a name from it.  The drawing I’ll do live Wednesday night at 8:30 Eastern … on Twitter.  I’ll tweet under the hashtag #DAPSealandWin.

Good luck!  (Read to the bottom for the consolation prize.)

Thanks to everyone that offered support for our trip to the Remodeling Show anywhere along the line.

As a consolation prize – I’m still trying to give away the wonderful tee pictured below. Or just say I want the tee in the comment area and it’s yours…!  It will be offered to a second name pulled.
