Wanna know how to enter?  Then head on over to Lovin' Much to check it out!

I Won Something!

I was so excited last night when I checked my e-mail and had a message from THE John and Sherry Petersik from Young House Love.  The subject said "Great News From Young House Love."  A couple of days ago I entered their contest to win a $100 gift card to IKEA.  And out of 5,416 comments, I was one of two winners!!!  I had to call one of my sister's last night to share my good news!  She is also a big fan of Young House Love.

I had my eye on a bookcase for the nursery, so we'll see what I end up with!  I'll be sure to keep you posted when we make a purchase.  And if you've never checked out their blog, drop what you're doing at do it now.  You won't be disappointed!

This is the second exciting thing I've ever won.  When I was in middle school, I won 2 plane tickets to anywhere in the United States.  What about you, Wayman Family Nesters?  What's the coolest thing you've ever won? 

Giveaway Winners!

So, I know all my Wayman Family Nesters are on pins and needles waiting to find out if they won the Giveaway from Gus and Lula.



Well, after using random.org to help me, I am excited to announce the THREE winners of the print of their choice from Gus and Lula.

The first winner is comment #35 which came from:

Congratulations to all of our winners!  I will be contacting the three of you with how to get in touch with the fabulous Britt.  So, start thinking about which print you want!  The bad news is, a bunch of you did not win and are probably very sad right now (since this was such an awesome giveaway).  The GOOD news is that all of Britt's prints are VERY affordable (in addition to being very lovely!).  So check out her etsy shop today and pick out something nice for yourself.  You deserve it!  (You know you do!)

A BIG thank you to Britt for sponsoring this fabulous giveaway!  Happy Friday Wayman Family Nesters!

Giveaway Time!

One of the very first blogs I started reading was the fabulous A Penny Saved, which many of you know is now Gus and Lula.  Brit and I have lots in common!  We both like to blog about our Ethiopian adoptions, interior desgin, and pretty things in general!  But she is WAY more creative than I am. Check out her blog to see pictures of her Ethiopian cutie pies and her awesome DIY projects! 

Britt, has generously offered to give away THREE of her fabulous prints to THREE different winners!  The winners get to choose their favorite!  You will have a hard time choosing just one because they are all so amazing.  Here are just a few of my favorites...
