Last month I had the pleasure to play with some new Black + Decker tools for a project featured on their blog. Using a drill and pallet wood, I made this rustic lighted centerpiece box. It was very quick and very easy (find the full tutorial here)
Thanks to this cordless drill being extra powerful (20V vs. my old 12) but still in a compact package, it's my new favorite toy. So I'm absolutely overjoyed to be able to host this giveaway with Black + Decker. The prize is a 3 piece power tool set that includes that includes a circular saw, sander and a cordless drill for one lucky winner.
And yes, that is glitter on my drill handle. That's just how I roll.
Enter using the widget below. I'll draw a winner next week.

ReplyDeleteOh what a fantastic giveaway, thank you! I have to agree with the first poster on how you make amazing things seem so doable!
ReplyDeleteI think my first project would be building some kind of dining room table-sized shelter for the feral cats I'm feeding.
I only had one cat come around all summer, and when we started getting snow last month, I put a cardboard box with a few blankets underneath an old table out on our front porch, then tossed a huge rug over that.
Lo and behold, last week I looked out and saw a wee kitten peeping at me, and by the end of the day counted 4 kittens and their mama. I live way out in the woods and am glad to have them around, but I don't like them right by the front door. (One of the kittens snuck in the house, and after hours of hearing increasingly frantic meows, I finally discovered it tucked up underneath the Christmas tree skirt!)
Way too much rambling to say I'd love to have some tools to build them their own little house!
projects are endless!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I would install a mantle above my brick fireplace!
ReplyDeleteIf I were to be the lucky winner, I would tackle making a stand to raise our TV up on our dresser so the DVR box can nestle under the TV. More room for a picture frame of my love on my dresser that way! Thank you for the generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIf I were the lucky winner I would finally convert the broom cupboard next to my stove into a really tall spice cupboard with lots and lots of shelves!
