Thrifted Ombre Table & Cutting Edge Stencil Giveaway

So this is my thrift find $10 (I know, not the best deal but I thought it was a cute small table):

I taped off the table and painted it ombre style.

I used my Cutting Edge Stencil to paint a medallion on the table top.

Here it is on my porch with my rocking chairs.

This is my Hydrangea called "Shooting Star" Love it!

Can you see my stencil medallion underneath.

Gross Car? Utahn? Check.It.OUT!

 Mother’s Day CAR DETAIL Contest. 

(AKA WHO HAS THE GROSSEST MOM-CAR?) 

Mine is not Grotesque, but still could use some scrubbing love!

I have dried formula spilled all down the side of the seats, crumbs from treats and happy meals crusted into another seat, probably $10 worth of coins under the front seats, dirt in the very back where the stroller comes in and out, and the outside is caked with a wintery salty film!  

These photos are of my car...Like I said...It's not horrific, but, Hey, I would still love to have it all spiffed up for me!

 Formula!

FULL DETAIL ($200 Value).

Here’s how it works: 

Step 1 - Submit a picture of your "Mom-Car" to any (or all) participating Larry H. Miller dealership's Facebook page.

Step 2 - Tag yourself in the photo. 

Step 3 - Comment on your picture: “Help me win a Mother’s Day car detail from Larry H. Miller by liking this photo! Thanks guys!” Whoever gets the most “likes” on their photo WINS! 

(one winner per dealership)

(So once you've tagged yourself and comment on the picture it will show up in your Facebook feed for everyone to see!)
