A celebration is in order!

A couple of days ago, I sent out the challenge to The Decorating Emporium's Facebook likers to help me reach 200 likers by Friday.  Um, they achieved it by Tuesday night, so we are having a big celebration.

Head over to The Decorating Emporium's blog and find out what you have to do to enter.  Trust me, the prize is worth winning.

As for this house, I really do love it.  It is a wonderful home in which to live.  Almost all of the supplies have been delivered for the deck, and we've managed to snag a few bargains, which makes my heart sing even louder!!

I'll post some photos next week, to show you how much we achieve over the weekend.  I'm even planning to roll up my sleeves and help.  Look out!!

Enjoy your weekend, whatever you're up to.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

Firstly, I have to say thank you so much for all the gorgeous birthday love!!  I had a great day (I'll share that in another post), although sadly Husband wasn't home to join in the celebrations.

Welcome to our new followers and Facebook likers.  Thanks for joining us and coming along for the ride!

Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for.  I had two of my little housemates put all of the entries into a bowl...

And, draw out the winner...

And the winner is...

Congratulations, Penny!

So, Penny, if you could please e-mail me at 2beaches1lake@gmail.com, we can organise delivery of your new friend, 'Little Hoot'!

Thanks again everyone!  The results of my Finishes Appointment are coming to a blog near you soon!

Birthday giveaway! - ENTRIES HAVE NOW CLOSED

It's my birthday, and to celebrate I thought a little giveaway was in order!

In honour of turning an older version of old, I thought a wise owl would be a lovely gift for one lucky reader.  Check out this guy, available from Decorating Emporium.

There are three ways to enter:
1.  'Follow' Two Beaches and a Lake and leave me a comment on this post stating that you are a new follower.
2.  If you already follow the blog, leave a comment on this post.
3.  If you would like an extra entry, 'like' Two Beaches and a Lake on Facebook and come back here and tell me about it by commenting on this post.

It's easy peasy, lemon squeezy, and who wouldn't want this super cute little owl on their desk

Entries will close at midday (AEST) on Thursday, 24 November 2011, with the winner being drawn on Thursday night.

Enjoy my birthday!
