A Contest on The Journey to Homesteading- Contest Winner : Me!

Recall that there was a contest at the Journey to Homesteading during April? If not you can see the details here.

Well... I won the first prize :) I was shocked when I got the email (because I'd forgotten about the contest actually). I won the Welcome sign from Retro Road Vintage Sign Company.

I haven't figured a final place for the sign -it's very windy here in Wyoming and we are getting our house ready for touch-up painting. But I still can show you the sign!

This photo is of it sitting on the rail of my front porch... and here is it with my kiddos ;)

Awesome, isn't it :)

Thanks, The Journey to Homesteading and Retro Road Vintage Sign Company!

A Contest on The Journey to Homesteading

A Contest on The Journey to Homesteading!

From April 1 - May 1, The Journey to Homesteading is having a Contest!
The reason? We're hoping to recruit lots of new members! For those of us who are already Members, we know there is so much great information there on our forums.
We want more and more people to become interested in gardening, raising animals, building and all the others things we talk about there on a daily basis.

Make sure you enter, which is easy to do. All you have to do is post!

First Prize:
A beautiful handmade (in Canada) Welcome sign. It's 11 inches high and 18 inches long. The background panel is Western Red Cedar that has been lightly burnt and then finised with an exterior urethane. The edge banding is pvc plastic finished in tarnish resistant copper mica powder. The lettering is a composite wood product, coated with epoxy. This prize has a value of $100 and includes free shipping.

Wouldn't this Welcome Sign look fantastic at your driveway entry? Or how about at your garden gate?
This Welcome sign has been created by Lawrence of Retro Road Vintage Sign Company. Based in Parksville BC, Lawrence has a wide variety of signs suitable for any occasion. Please visit his web site at http://www.retroroad.ca/

Second Prize:
Those great folks at Tattler Reusable Canning Lids are giving away 4 dozen (yes! 4 dozen) of their fantastic reusable canning lids and seals. I tried these last year with some of our canning and they work great. They are BPA free, which is very important. All the reviews I have read from people who have used these seals have been very positive. Using these seals and rings does away with the need to replenish your supply every year. Some people have been reusing these seals for years and years.

Third Prize:
I have one copy left of our 2011 Country Living in a Cariboo Valley Calendar. Chock full of gardening tips and tricks, you will get a lot of use from this prize. Colour photos of life around our Cariboo Valley are on each page. Since we are already partway into 2011, the Winner will also be able to order the 2012 Calendar at half price!
