Frog giveaway.

That's right, I'm at it again with another room re-do. My guest room is getting a face lift on a budget (wouldn't have it any other way). This weekend I painted the room using my favorite tape, Frog tape. If you haven't ever used this tape you simply must. It will give you crisp lines and no bleeding! Once you try it you'll never go back...HONESTLY!

Darn you Home Depot for discontinuing it (at mine at least). It does cost a little more than blue tape. However, the time Frog tape will save you by not having to go back and do touch up won't even make you think twice.


The good folks at Frog Tape saw how well my stripes turned out on my hallway project so they sent me some t-shirts and several rolls of tape!
I had so much fun with the last giveaway that I thought I'd share the love and part with a very fashionable t-shirt and a couple rolls of tape. Leave a comment by midnight, Monday, March 8th to be entered.

I have rolls of blue tape - didn't know the beauty of frog tape until I read your posts. Most of my rooms are is need of a new paint job (many boys in this house the past 10 years), and a new gadget (okay, tape), is a perfect reason to paint!
