Get the “Chippy” Look Video Tutorial & Junk Bonanza Giveaway!

I finally got around to editing and uploading my latest milk paint video…

 

I talk through how to get the “chippy” look on pieces and answer some common questions about the process. Enjoy! (If you usually read my posts through e-mail, click over to my blog to watch the video.)

 If you’d like to see my other videos, head over to my You Tube channel.  More to come…

Second, there’s an event you may have heard of…  Junk Bonanza.  One day I will go.  Oh yes.  One day I will go.  Until then, if your calendar is free September 13-15, 2012, you may be able to go to Junk Bonanza for FREE!  The annual Junk Bonanza brings together more than 140 juried vendors of select vintage treasures, junk and antiques and is in Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minn.

The winner of this giveaway will receive:

~ 2 VIP tickets, which allow for admission all three days of the event, including the Early Bird on opening day, two hours before the show opens to the general public.

~  A Junk Bonanza tote and…

~  A copy of the latest Flea Market Style magazine, rolling off the press around the end of August! (Me and my office are featured in the issue!)

To enter, just comment on this post by  Saturday, August 25, 2012, at midnight PST (this is a short giveaway) and be sure to leave your contact information so we can mail your prize if you are the lucky winner!  You mus tbe over the age of 18 to be eligible to win.

Winner will be chosen at random and announced by Monday, August 27, 2012.
