A Sneak Peek and a GIVEAWAY!

I've been working on a project for my kids that has taken me waaaaay longer than it probably should have. But with the heat we've been having it's been so hard to work outside and this is the kind of project that has involved cutting, sanding, and lots of spray painting so it's not exactly something I can work on indoors. But I really feel like I'm so close to being finished. So I thought I'd give you a little tease and see if any of you smart blog ladies can figure out what I'm making.



I also wanted to tell you about another awesome giveaway from CSN stores. They have over 200 stores and just about everything you could ever want. Check out these awesome dutch ovens. Mmmmmm.....the yumminess that could be made in one of those beauties. CSN is offering one lucky "This Present Life" reader a $40 credit to any of their stores!

So here's how to play.

1) Leave me a comment telling me you're a follower (current or new).
2) For a second entry, leave me a comment telling me what you think my "sneak peek" project is!

The Giveaway will close next Thursday at midnight (CST) and I will announce the lucky winner next Friday.

Good luck! And have a fun, safe, relaxing holiday weekend!

    I am terrible at guess but I think June is right, since it is for your kids a puppet theater.

    and i am not sure what it is, but i have a couple ideas.... one is that you are making them a play kitchen, and the other is that you are making them a cute bench out of a bed. love the red paint and quilt fabric! it looks so playful and fun, so whatever it is, it i s going to look great!

    I like the guess of a play kitchen- but I am going to go with bunk beds for baby dolls. Random, right??

    I'm going with some sort of table or maybe a bench. It kinda looks like it has arms or something but looks too short to be a chair... man- I don't know! lol

    The first thing that came to mind when I saw your tease was that you were making a puppet stage. La

    I'm guessing a little kitchen. Maybe just wishful thinking because I would love to make one for my baby girl one day. Can't wait to see it!
