Adventures in Rugs and a GIVEAWAY!!!!!



      I have a thing about shower mats. I CANNOT stand wet ones, even though that is their purpose. I'm like a cat with wet feet when I step on one; I really cannot even express how much I hate it.  So, when I saw a kind of mat at my mother in law's house that felt dry, even when wet, you better believe I was all about getting one! Only one problem, the store didn't have black! I need black, because the rest of the bathroom accessories are black. After glowering darkly for a while at the lacking a black rug shelf, I finally selected a blah looking tan one.


     See? Totally blah. Having an ungodly amount of hoarded craft supplies pays off during emergencies such as this...at least, that's what I tell myself. I whipped out a stencil and some black fabric paint, and fixed this baby right up.


      Much better! Yes, that is a smudge next to the "F"...I'm not too worried about it. It is a bath mat after all. Seriously though, how much better is that!


     Okey dokey, now that you are totally awed...let me awe you further! Christmas is the time for giving right, so its about time we did some of that around here! As my thank you to all you wonderful readers, I want to give you any item of your choice out of my Etsy shop!


 The only thing that this excludes is the "made to order" listings. Anything else is fair game.

      Want to enter? Do any or all of the following...
  1. Leave a comment telling me you are a blog follower and want to enter
  2. Become a blog follower and leave a comment telling me you did
  3. Like Abbtique on Facebook and leave a comment saying you did
  4. Visit Abbtique on Etsy and let me know in a comment what you would choose if you win!
      Each comment is a separate entry, so you have the potential of having three entries. Please make sure you have your email enabled when you comment, I would hate for you to win and not be able to tell you! Giveaway ends one week from today and the winner will be posted at that time.
Have a stupendous Wednesday! =)

    I had no idea you could do that! Very pretty!

    I'm the same way with certain things...I have this really weird fear of standing on the bottom of pools just like your wet rug thing. : )

    How did I have no idea you had an Etsy? Love it!! Everything looks so cute, but I think I'd have to go with a toddler apron or tie-top dress. Sooooo cute!
