GIVEAWAYS FOR YOU!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED

To kick of the New Year, I wanted to do some giveaways for you!!!

CSN.com has given me another opportunity to do a giveaway. Since I love my fans so much and I reached all my goals with Scrappy Gifts last year, I chose to do a giveaway for you instead of reviewing something for myself =D

Check out this corner TV stand.

I'd love to have a new one that was more enclosed to keep kids from wanting to press all the buttons. Plus this one would be nice because we currently have our TV in the corner because it flows better with the layout. Unfortunately our current stand isn't a special designed corner one so we get all sorts of junk behind the TV.

GIVEAWAY: CSN is giving one lucky person a $35 certificate to their site!
Open to U.S. and Canada Only! - ENDS Wednesday, January 12th at 11:59MST

About Me: Maryanne
Here's a little bit more about me. I'm Maryanne Nelson, a wife to an aspiring illustrator and a stay at home mom to a one year old boy.

I've been scrapbooking since the beginning of 2005, and I have grown to love it! It provides a strong creative outlet for me and makes me feel like I belong in Relief Society (a Latter-Day Saint Organization for Women). Sometimes I even dream about the perfect scrapbook layout.
Along with scrapbooking, I enjoy blogging, reading, playing games, learning new crafts and baking. I want to learn how to cook more, grocery shop on a budget, and sew. Plus I love learning how to do it yourself to make your home beautiful and seeing how creative people are.
I have a degree in Elementary Education from Brigham Young University-Idaho in December 2007 thus teaching is in my blood.
