Well I am back to reveal the giveaway today! When I was thinking through some options I new I wanted to choose an item that could go with all kinds of different decor, something unique, and something not season specific!
Here’s what I came up with . . . ZINC PLACE CARDS!
These cuties could be used to show people where to sit or to identify food during a potluck party! Chalk is all you need to change out the lettering for different dinner guests! Can’t you just imagine these on my table here. . . or better yet your table!!!
These mini metal masterpieces come to you courtesy of The Lettered Cottage. I have been following Layla’s bog for about a year now and she is a sweetie, so be sure to check it out when you have a chance!
So, here’s how you enter. . .
simply leave a comment for me on this post telling me what you like about the blog, what you want to see more of, or things you aren’t crazy about. If you are new to the blog and aren’t quite sure how to answer that give me an idea of what draws you to blogs in general!
Thanks, and good luck!


Love your blog. You’re doing great! What a great giveaway!
Kara, hi!
I think those placecards are such a fantastic idea! How cool… and unique! I’ve become quite addicted to this big, beautiful place called blogland!!! *hehe* I have met the most wonderful people here!
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!!!
Hugs,
Christina
I want ’em! : )
Love the blog- I’m a devoted follower, of course! : ) My favorites are your before & after’s and then also when you link us to other site’s before & after pics. as you know, I don’t do my own “creations” but I just love to see other people’s completed styles.
You do a great job, Ms. Kara, and I know you will go very far in design!
Hi, Kara! My favorite things on your blog are the posts that show off your interior design skills. I am always so inspired by them. I also love simple projects such as the one where you folded the book pages inward. In general, I love blogs with great photos and creative blog headers. Great content is always helpful as well! I enjoy reading your blog and look forward to the many posts to come!

Hi Kara, My daughter got me hooked on your blog. I check it out every day. The post that got me going was about refinishing old kitchen cabinets. I love getting how-to’s about making something old look new again!
Love your blog! I love seeing all of your projects and your design ideas!
I’m new, but I love all the design, DIY, crafty projects.
I love your blog because of your statement of faith on the right in the About Me section! I also love the craftiness and DIY spirit.
I love blogs with before and after photos from projects.. I also like your unique ideas and big style on a budget.. You’re writing style is also easy to read and interesting, which is a plus!
I’m new to your blog, but will definetely be back! I love browsing blogs to get decor ideas. I also love before and after shots of projects, its always awesome to see transformations!
p.s. I LOVE those zinc placecards! I have been eyeing them at the Lettered Cottage so I hope I win 😉
New to your blog – found you through The Lettered Cottage. I love these place cards – I have had my eye on them for sometime.
I can’t wait to check out more of your blog – I love DIY and before and after pictures.
I like design blogs that are inspirational. They show how to make your home look like a designer fixed it up for you…without truly having a designer fix it up for you.

I’m new to your blog, but LOVE Layla’s Lettered Cottage blog and have been following her for about 6 months. I’m anxious to read yours….so I’m signing off this comment to check out made2create! Thanks.
I just found you, but before and afters are always my favorites. Love those place card holders.
Great placecards! I like your videos…it takes a lot guts to do a garage sale cheer!
Hi! I am new to your blog, but looked around in the archives a bit. I am a big fan of when people are creative and have projects with lots of photos. I like to be able to come to a blog and feel inspired. I visit many blogs just to get my creative juices flowing. You had some awesome ideas and redos. I am in love with your farmhouse table. So pretty!
I’m new here (hi!) and I love to see new ways of repurposing old things – old furniture, old architectural pieces, old accessories, and I also love to see how differently everyone accessorizes their homes. 🙂
Hi! New here…came from the Lettered Cottage. Can’t wait to look around your blog.
Doesn’t everyone love a good before and after post?!? I know I do!
You’re very creative. Keep up the great work!
Hi! I’m new to your blog, but I like it already! So… what do I look for in a home decorating blog? Great photos, witty writing, and creative ways to address decorating a cozy home.
I’m new to your blog curtesy of Layla but I’m off to look through your portfolio. I love seeing great before and after pictures of interior design or decor. I also love a great tutorial.
One thing you could change…turn the “word verification” option off where we post a comment. It makes it so much easier for your followers to leave a comment.
Found you through Layla’s blog. Love those zinc place holders. Can’t wait to check out your blog!
I found you through the Lettered Cottage — I’ll be back! It’s great to see a fellow Tulsa with style I love!
Hi! I’m new to this blog but I do read a ton of them and have one as well. I love lots of pics and step by step instructions. I love pouring over pics of great decor with some personal post thrown in. I like to see how decor “lives” in a real life setting. BTW, those place cards are amazing!!!! I’m drooling over here! LOL!
I love some good DIYs and before/after shots. They always keep me coming back!
Giveaways never hurt either 🙂
I love to read crafty blogs and be inspired. I also love how-tos since I’m not very handy and it keeps it real. Love those placecards. PS–This is a different Joy than the one above 🙂
I read your blog and others for the inspiration I get from them to do projects around my home to make it more cozy, organized, comfortable. The zinc place cards are sweet!
The Lettered Cottage got me hooked on blogs. I found you through her site. I love all of the creativity blogs offer and I’m crazy for anything zinc!
Thanks!
Hi Kara,
Came here from Layla’s blog. Will be watching for your updates…

Very cool zinc place cards. One suggestion based on personal preferences, is I like to see the before and after perhaps a little quicker. I understand the need to give detailed “how-to’s” with photos, but until I’m ready to DO a similar project I’m not ready for all that. Is there any way you could have a link to the “how-to” stuff? But, love your style. We are working on building some day, when asked what I “like” I referenced your site. Thanks!
Oh my goodness!!!! I love love love absolutely everything about Layla’s blog including Layla and her cutie tutie hubby.
OH! I always love a good “before” and “after”! Love those placecards!
Love the blog, love your statement about loving Jesus Christ and trying to follow him the best I can. Me too! Life is hard and we all make mistakes and sin daily. We just pick up our cross and keep on keepin on.
I love the placecards. So unique. And, your blog, though new to me, looks really great. I will be checking in frequently. I love the creativity of folks out there.
They are fantastic. Love what your’ve done with the house.
Just found you from The Lettered Cottage. Fun stuff!
cool giveaway! I came over here from Layla’s blog. I think that in general, I’m drawn to blogs with lots of inspiring photos – magazine or of that person’s home. I like your painted table in the above pics

I love your blog! The before and after posts are my faves! I love seeing your interior design skills, too. (And this giveaway is nice, of course!!)
I love your before and afters but I do wish you would post more often, alhtough sometimes it is fun to come back after a few days and be surprised with a post! (granted I don’t post everyday so I guess I should do before I ask others to do!)
I’m new to your blog…usually the first thing that draws me to a blog is the title.

I’m new to your blog but enjoyed browsing some of your categories like “before and after gallery” and “DIY projects.” In general, I’m drawn to blogs that are well-organized with categories/topics, and I like good writing. These zinc placecards are so much fun – I would love to own some! Thanks for this giveaway opportunity!
This is my first time on your blog. I love blogs that have lots of pictures and few words. Thanks for having this giveaway. I look forward to following you more.
Love the place cards!
New to the blog (thanks to TLC), but I love before & afters, DIY & cretive crafts.
THanks for the giveaway! I think you do a great job creating simplistic decorative ideas!
I’m new so my comment is to answer your question about what draws me to bogs generally and that would be “the personalities”. I love “getting to know” the bloggers. And the ones who make me laugh are the best. I can’t wait to check your blog out further! Good luck!
