Once upon a time...Once upon a contest!

So about a year ago, my husband and I spotted a tiny little leak in our oil tank, which happens to be in our garage. The end result was that we needed to replace our oil tank with a bright shiny new one and "while we were at it" we decided to start a project that we had been talking about since we bought the house in 2004.

(Notice...there's really no car in the garage, just STUFF! I'm sure we're not alone here, right?)

The project was to take the back half of the garage and create a studio/office for me, yay! The front half will be a workshop for my husband.

Time marches on...way to quickly, I might add.

Now here we are a year later and FINALLY, the walls have been built, the electrical done, the insulation is up, we cut a hole in the back of the house and installed a sliding door, we've drywalled, plastered, AND PAINTED! (Yipppeeee!)

Whew! I definitely need to stop watching those shows on DIY and HGTV! hehe

The question now is...what colors did I choose for my new room? You can bet that I used Stampin' Up! colors - in fact, I took the cardstock and my Color Coach to the store to have the paint matched!

 

So now it's time for a contest! I'll give you a few hints, and the rest is up to you!

What could you win?

The person who guesses all three colors will win a $50 Stampin' Up! Gift Certificate. (In the event that more than one person is correct, a name will be randomly chosen from those who guessed correctly. If no one guesses correctly, the person who chooses 2 of the 3 will win, etc.)

Anyone else who enters has the chance to one of two $25 gift certificates - just for entering! If you want to boost your chances of winning one of these, refer people to my mailing list and you'll get one more entry for each person who signs up for the StampMonkeys mailing list. (Make sure that they put your name in when they sign up!)

 

Now for the hints:

*    The first color is in the Brights Collection and is only painted on one "accent" wall.

*    The second color is in the Subtles Collection is just pained in the "laundry room" area.

*    The last color is also in the Subtles Collection and covers everything else.

The next thing on the list is to put down the flooring and install cabinets and other finishing touches. I can't tell you HOW excited I am to move in and have classes again! Of course I'll have a BIG party to celebrate with food AND stamping too! I hope that you'll all be able to join me! (Hopefully, it won't take ANOTHER year to do that! heh)

So what are you waiting for? Start guessing!

This contest will end THIS Friday (10/29) at 10:00 pm EST.) Please leave your guess here in the comments and list all three colors in one guess. Winners will be announced this weekend or next Monday at the latest! (Probably after all the little ghosts and goblins - or Pretty in Pink Fairy Princesses - come to my house!)

Good luck!

 

(PS - I LOVE all my readers and followers, but unfortunately, I can't give away gift certificates to anyone outside of the US, sorry!)
