In Gratitude: CSN Giveaway

*Contest is now closed*
Last week, MLHP hit the 500 follower mark - woo hoo! In honor of this milestone, the great folks at CSN have graciously offered to give a $50 credit to one of you (truly wonderful) readers. If you're not familiar with CSN - it's a website comprised of over 200 online stores. The range of products is mind-boggling. They have everything from an Eames lounge chair to Le Creuset cookware - and everything in between!

You could honestly spend hours trying to decide where to spend your FREE 50 BUCKS, but since I'm so appreciative of your loyalty and readership, I've put together a few suggestions.

You could snatch up some surprisingly-fun items for $50 or less...
CSN Under 50_edited-1

...or, you could take the edge off some serious eye candy that clock in a bit higher on the price points.
CSN 50+_edited-1

I say, it's a win-win no matter how you look at it!

So, you know the drill - To Enter the Giveaway:

1) Leave a Comment (duh!) *Leave me your email address so I can contact you if you win (double-duh!) And, I wouldn't mind at all if you left a FUN or INTERESTING comment!

2) If you'd like extra entries:
*Leave additional comments if you do

The Contest will run all week, with entries allowed until Midnight EST on Friday, February 11 - I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner, and will announce it next Monday, February 14 - Sweet Valentine's Day gift, huh?

    CSN is pretty fantastic...I want the Venture Horizon - 1255-x - Craft Hutch / Organizer - White

    Promised myself that this year I'd organize my craft/sewing/crap room so it doesn't look like the fabric fairy puked everywhere. That organizer would be a start.
