The best part...75% off of regular prices.

I LOVE a good deal! How about you?

Click here to be taken to the original post for the giveaway from last Monday, where you will find more info about BULX and a quick video!


The winner will be chosen randomly and announced tomorrow, September 14th.

So enter, enter, enter!

And hopefully you will win!

Our newest Sponsor's mission is simple:

And they want you to do it at a price that you can afford.

(Music to my ears!)

That is why BULX is the internet's best source for luxury home improvements at private sale prices. Think of BULX as an online outlet store for all of the coolest sinks, faucets, toilets, flooring, and moldings on the market.

For the amount of money you might spend on low- to mid-range fixtures at one of the large national retail stores, you can upgrade your home with top-quality, stylish products. All of the products BULX offers have been hand-selected based specifically on its timeless design and high-quality production.


Still not convinced?

Here is a cool video that Matt put together about BULX...



So if you have been thinking about upgrading that dingy bathroom (goodbye, pink sink!) or your outdated kitchen lately, BULX is the only way to go!

Here is how it works:

Starting each weekday at noon, a new 4-day sale begins for a new line of products. But once the sale is over, or once a product has sold out - those deals are gone for good!

So if you love it, you better grab it!

Here is a sample of the products that will be on sale this week...



As if their prices weren't good enough already (most products are offered at 75% off of retail!) BULX is giving away a $150 Gift Certificate to one lucky reader of It's The Little Things...

Did you see that?

$150 to spend as you wish!

Matt has put together a list of ways that you can enter, and as you will see, you can go as little or as big as you want - the sky is the limit on how many times you can enter. It all comes down to how badly you want it!


Just follow these rules to enter:

1. Leave a comment here on this Giveaway post - 1 entry

2. Send BULX an @ message on Twitter - 2 entries

3. Leave a comment on the BULX Facebook Page - 3 entries

4. Post a photo of the item you most want to replace in your kitchen or bathroom on the BULX Facebook Page - 5 entries

5. Post about this Giveaway on your own Blog, Facebook, or Twitter and come back here to leave a comment with a link to each - 10 entries each

6. Invite your friends to BULX (see how here) - one entry for each friend invited - this is where the sky is the limit - the more you invite, the more entries you receive!

And be sure to let them know you are visiting from It's The Little Things...
(ITLT for short!)


So...how may entries will you have?

:)

In order to qualify to win, you must have an active BULX account. It is completely free to sign up (Will and I each joined!) and membership will give you access to some of the most incredible home improvement deals on the web! And I highly recommend signing up to receive their emails - they are always fun to look at!


Our friends at BULX will be tallying up the entries and selecting a random winner in exactly one week. That means you can continue to enter through September 13th at midnight.

I wish you all the best of luck and I cannot wait to see who wins!

And many, many thanks to Matt and the BULX team for Sponsoring such a fantastic Giveaway!

She calls it the "Pinkalicious Birthday Bash"...

If that doesn't scream "Ellison", I don't know what does!

I think I've just found my inspiration for her next birthday.

We're off to enjoy a day of summer sun!

Packing up the kids and heading up to Boulder Lake with my Dad, brother and sister-in-law to go hiking.


Happy Saturday, everyone!

The winner of the

$75.00 Gift Certificate

to spend at

Lisa Leonard Designs

is...

from the blog

Classy & Fabulous!

( I had to laugh when her number came up on Random.org! I have no preconceived ideas about who should be the winner - either does Random.org! I'm quite fond of all of you. It's just kinda funny that it ended up being a Karla...and with a "K"! I know, it seems silly, but she'll understand!)


Karla, send me your contact info and I will get you set up with Lisa!

Congrats!!



Thanks to everyone for playing along.

It was a great turn out, so maybe we can convince Lisa to do this again with us in the future!

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is the last day that you can enter for your chance to win a

$75.00 Gift Certificate

to spend on a gorgeous Lisa Leonard design...

I have spent the day with three of these:

And many cans of this:

The entryway is getting a little makeover.


Fingers crossed that it turns out how I am envisioning it!


Luckily, Ellison is playing her heart out with the twins (her best friends) which means that I can get away with doing a project like this in the middle of the day.

I am convinced that there is nothing cuter than little girls just being little girls! Between playing dress up, dancing and singing, and pretending that they are shopping, being mommies, and taking care of their babies...they are quite busy little ladies! I can't help but smile listening to all of their giggles!

Here's hoping your day has been as enjoyable as ours!

XO

Well, Hello!

It's been a while since I've been here.

Getting back to reality with Will flying again has been a big transition for our family. But we're hanging in there and getting back into our old routines. Which for me, means a return to blogging!

So as a "Thank You" to all of you for sticking around while things got back to normal around here, I have a giveaway for you.

It comes courtesy of Lisa Leonard Designs and I was *giddy* when she contacted me asking if I would be interested in doing this with her.

One of the perks...I got to choose a necklace of my own, and let me tell you, making a decision on which one was the one was no easy task. Ultimately, I went with the...

Family Tree Necklace

...and I love it!

I've worn it every day for the past week and it has rapidly become my favorite necklace! It's big enough to make a statement, but light enough that it can be worn with almost anything - dressed up or dressed down, it works! I think the tree is adorable and I love having our names around my neck.

So what was making my decision so hard?

This one:

It is the Captured Heart Necklace and I think the gold background with the stacked silver hearts is just beautiful. I'm certain I would have been equally happy had this been the one that I had chose. But for now, it is sitting on my wish list.


A few other pieces of inspired jewelry that you will find in Lisa's store are...


the Together Necklace

the Leather Cuff...

the Pewter Heart Wall Hanging...

What a sweet gift for all of the soon-to-be-wed couples!


Lisa also writes a blog. I dare you not to get lost in her photography...

Want to know how to enter and what you are playing for?

Lisa has generously offered to give one of you a

Gift Certificate to her store

worth

$75.00

Nice, right?


(If I could win, I'd be clicking "add to cart" on that Captured Heart Necklace as fast as I could!)


You've got 4 chances to enter:

1. Browse through Lisa's store and leave a comment here letting me know which item you would choose if you are lucky enough to win.

2. Become a follower of Lisa's on Twitter:

3. Become a follower of my blog.
