And the winner of the Rug Giveaway...

I was going to shoot a little video of the drawing, but I was trying something new with my hair and it ended up not looking so hot. So, I asked my husband if he would do the honors of picking the name out of the box.

So, without further ado, the winner of the Treat Rug Giveaway is...LaTarsha G.!

Congratulations LaTarsha! I will be sending you an e-mail with the information that I need to forward your name to the CSN Rug representative.

Thanks everyone for submitting your names and leaving a comment on Treat blog. I wish that I could give all of you a rug!

Thanks to CSN Rugs for donating the rug for the giveaway. Hopefully more giveaways from other companies will come around this way, so check back.

Thanks again everyone!

Treat's back!

Anyone who writes a blog knows how much work goes into maintaining it. Thus, the reason I've been away for a few months =). There's great design out there, but you have to dig for it—which takes a lot of work—and I only want to post inspirations that are truly inspirational and/or informative.

I've been trying to "design" my office with items that are already in my office. It's finally starting to take shape. The small changes that I've made has been punching up the design inspiration big time. So, Treat is coming back! I won't be posting as regularly as I have in the past, but check in every now and then to see what's new. Or, you can subscribe to Treat via the links in the sidebar or in the top navigation bar, and you'll be informed when I've written a new post. Look for a new Treat post starting Monday, January 5. Thanks for reading!
