Spring into the Dream

Homes.com invited me (and a few other fabulous bloggers) to participate in a Pinterest contest!  Pinterest + A Homes.com Contest + The chance to win a $500 gift card + The chance that one of you could win a $500 gift card = AWESOME!

The theme of the contest is "Spring into the Dream".  What does that mean to you?  For me it means it's time to stop running around like a dog chasing a squirrel when it comes to decorating and renovating my home.  It means it's time to get serious about the countless numbers of unfinished projects around here!

It also means it's time to get outside, get my hands dirty,

It means organizing the areas of my home that are pretty much a hot mess right now.

When Homes.com asked me if I'd like to participate in this Pinterest contest I literally leaped at the chance. There's no better way to get motivated to get stuff done in your home than with a contest involving Pinterest and uh, um......did I mention a $500 gift card already?!
