To everyone who entered our very first giveaway from Lowe's, inspiring us with all of your creativity and enthusiasm—thank you! Of course, I wish I had the full two hundred gift cards to give away, so we could all kick-start our projects in style! But for now, there's just the one.
So without further ado, the winner, picked by random, is Michael Wurm, innkeeper, quilter and author of the delightful blog Inspired By Charm. Congratulations, Michael! We can't wait to see what you do with it!

























Nothing I love more than an old vintage or craigslist find that has been spruced up with a little paint and turned into something fabulous! Thanks for the great inspiration!!

Congratulations to Michael. I am sure he will put this to good use. I am a follower of his and he always has some great projects going. Eddie, loved your cake you showed on twitter. It was amazing. I have looked up the recipe for the Italian buttercream icing and am going to have to give it a try. Looked delicious!!! ~~Sherry~~
