What a great day to announce the WINNER of my 1000 follower giveaway...I think it will be a SWEET day for the lucky WINNER...what do you think? Okay...on to the big announcement...the WINNER is Michelle over at SHELLS SHABBY SHACK...congrats Michelle and thank you to all of you that entered the giveaway. Now if you didn't win today...you will still have a chance to win some goodies here at Coastal Charm in the next few weeks...I'm having a month long celebration during the month of March...a giveaway will be going on each week and I already have some really nice gifts up for grab. I still need a few more items, so if you or you know someone who might be interested in donating an item just e-mail me at coastal.charm@yahoo.com and I will get you all signed up.

Looking forward to seeing what you have to share with us today...been thriftin' or maybe working on a thrifty DIY project? Well...I have been busy working on a thrifty DIY project and I thought I would have a guessing game today at the party to see if you know what I'm doing with this huge UGLY frame...can't wait to hear all your guesses...so let's get started with the game and yes the PARTY too!
                                                              Thanks for coming and I
                                                               hope you have a good
                                                                  time here at NTT!
                                                                           Linda

                         When I said ugly...I wasn't kidding! This was a curbside find and free
                                          is always good in my book...how about yours?
                                                        It's really BIG...27x51!!!!
                              Now it was a given that I was painting her...ugly GOLD had to go!
                              Hope to be finished soon...before I leave for my four day trip with
                                                  MOM...I'm so looking forward to this
                                                      trip and feel so lucky to have her
                                                       still with me at 83 years young!

    Yes, I love a freebie! Congratulations Michelle. Now, about that frame. Love the detail on it. My first thought was chalkboard but I think you might have something else up your sleeve. Hmmm! Nope, no idea. But can't wait to find out. Have a lovely time with your mum Linda.

    Linda, it amazes me what people throw away. I am sure it will look great painted. Looks like Linky is still having issues. I noticed a lot of your links are missing. Have you emailed Brent. He can probably fix it.

    Yay! We just got back from our wee little getaway! I'm so excited to see that I won! What a nice way to come home :) Thanks so much, Linda!

    Hmmm... I'm thinking you might be making a chalkboard out of the frame. Can't believe you found it curbside. Lucky find!

    Have a wonderful time away with your mom! Four days sounds amazing!

    Thanks again! I was so shocked :D
