The DIY Bride Book Giveaway #2
Hey DIYers! I know I was supposed to write about cool new features this week but some database woes and a rush job for a client have sucked up some of that precious posting time. As a consolation for no new stuff this week, I’m giving away two copies of my book, The DIY Bride: 40 Fun Projects For Your Ultimate One-of-a-Kind Wedding.
I won’t make you send in your sad tales of crafting gone wrong this time. Just post a comment below by Sunday, Jan. 20. I’ll randomly pick the winners from the pool of entries on Monday morning.
Not sure what to say in the comment? Say hi. Offer some advice. Tell me a knock-knock joke. Whatev. It’s cool. [Oh! Be sure to include your real email address in the comment form. (It doesn't show up in the comments.) I'll need it to contact you if you're a winner.]
[EDIT JAN 21: COMMENTS NOW CLOSED.]

I love reading your blog every week, thanks for the great topics!
Here’s a joke: The optimist says the glass is half full, the pessimist says the glass is half empty, the engineer says the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
OH! ME! ME! PUH-Lease! jlt@pwlaw.com
I just wanna say that this site has helped me sooo much in figuring out what direction I want to take my diy projects in! Good luck with the book. I can’t wait to read it (hopefully I’ll win it and not have to buy it *lol*)
Hi, I’m so excited to see this . I would love to get this as I’m a DIY Princess.
Kudos for your website!!! Keep up the excellent job.
Hi!
I just found your blog late last week. I got engaged on New Year’s Eve and I’m getting married this summer. Every tip I can get helps. Thanks for the posts!
Hey!
I’d love to win the book
So i can curl up in my nook
and read DIY
for your FYI
and that’s about it (I really can’t cook)
Voila!
Hi,
Hope i am one of the lucky winners… Preparing for my wedding. Trying to save cost by doing it DIY.
Hey! The book sounds cool!
So a pirate walks into a bar, sits down and orders a drink. While making the drink the bartended noticed the pirate had a steering wheel down his pants. So he asks him, “What’s with the steering wheel in your pants?”
And the pirate answers…
“Yargh, I don’t know, but it’s driving me nuts.”
I think you have the best blog
Love the new site!
Good morning!!
I’m a sad excuse for a DIYer but maybe this will help…crossing fingers!
Hi! Love the site! Already picked up a few ideas that will be incorporated in to my May 31st wedding! Thanks a ton!
Love the blog! Am helping my sister plan her wedding and would love the book to help inspire us!
I just joined your Flickr group and posted some pics.
Oh goodie! I just got engaged in December, and the book would be an amazing aid!
No knock-knock joke, I just got in from playing in the SNOW! (um…I’m in SC. Less than three inches gets us out of classes for the day. I may be in college, but hey, it was fun!)
Knock Knock?
Who’s There?
Orange!
Orange Who?
Orange you glad you have readers!
Oooh! I want one!! I’ve been checking for a post all week!
Hi! I love the site. Here’s my shameless DIY idea for my fall 2008 wedding: since I don’t want to rent glasses and tableware, and since I love POM tea (that comes in the glass with the snap-on lid) so much, I’m going to save all my POM tea glasses between now and November, and just use those instead of rented stemware. I’m even thinking of writing the POM company and asking for coupons in exchange for the free advertising.
I am joyfully distracting during the daytime hours viewing your blog computer-side, but a cup of tea, a quilt, and looking through a good book with my maid-of-honor (and also soon to be bride) is oh-so-much more delightful!
Nice site…always looking for great DIY ideas to make my wedding day extra special and save on costs at the same time!
I would love to win a copy of your new book! I’m probably crazy for doing as much as I already am for my wedding. But hey, I’ve come to terms with my addiction problem…and will get help for it — after the wedding!!
Hey I just found your blog yesterday and love it!

What a great giveaway, and what a great blog!
Knock Knock!
i totally COVET your book. i love DIY and need to figure out how to cut every corner i can in order to pay for my wedding…basically by myself. but it will be rewarding when i am able to come up with creative homemade solutions that will really showcase my personality.
Even if I don’t win the book, I have to tell you that I absolutely LOVE this site! I’ve been really turned off by all the traditional wedding sites I’ve found, feeling like I’m falling into a trap of generic, over-priced wedding hoopla. This site is everything I’ve been looking for. So glad to hear there are other brides like me out there, and that we’re not all super-crazed bridezillas! (of course, a fabulous new book would dial up my love for this site even more
I just love everything about this site. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten the chance to get your book yet, but everything I have seen looks delightful!! Thanks SO much for all of your hard work in giving us brides the opportunity to make our weddings our own!
woah, free cool books??? i’m in!! especially for a book from a person with such great ideas!!
At the moment I am working full time on my graduate degree. But when I finish in May, I plan to stimulate my brain in a different, more creative way by trying my hand at some new crafts, several of which will be for my wedding later this year. In the meantime, I read your blog when I’m taking a break and dream about fun projects in my future!
thanks for the opportunity! i feel like an amateur bride as i plan this wedding. i need all the help i can get!
I’m DYING for crafty ideas. My Ginghers and my Singer are aching for some fabric, my glue gun is lusting after blingy goodness, and my knitting needles are dreaming of creating anything, ANYTHING other than a long, straight, scarf – for once.
I’m in dire need of inspiration. Please help?
I came upon this website today (while obsessing about wedding details)…and this is fun, comforting (that others are so zealous) and INSPIRING! I’m so excited to plan…and to reference this site regularly!
I just found your site and already love it!
Great site, I have 5 months until my wedding and any help with ideas I could get from your book would be appreciated.
thanks
Hope things went well for you on the morning show in California the other day.
what a fab site! You’ve already gotten new traffic from MSW referrals…I’ve just discovered DIY Bride and the book through them, and the show hasn’t even aired yet
Looking forward to reading and sharing DIY projects!
Why do they polish the tanks in Helsinki every morning?
To protect the Finnish!
(This is my favorite joke)

I just learned about this site and I’m so excited about it!! I got engaged on Christmas Eve and I’m planning a July wedding. Our budget is pretty tight so I spend most of my time looking for ideas to cut costs by “DIYing” as much as possible. This book would be a mental-health saver

I’m a DIY Bride and I just can’t believe I found your site! It has everything I want! The DIY Bride book would be so perfect for me, because I’m literally doing almost everything myself (having my fiance out of state and my family out of country!). Thank you for creating and organizing such an inspiring and helpful site!
By the way, the chartreuse and turquoise colors of this layout is exactly our wedding colors
I have been stressing about my hand made invitations. I wanted to know if you have received any feedback on how many people actually keep their wedding invitations?
Thanks
I just found out about your site from the blog on Martha Stewart Weddings! I can’t wait to pour over it for some fabulous ideas.
Thanks for this great resource!
I love your blog! I found you during a random search of wedding feeds and now I read it every day.
Great giveaway… I hope I win one of the copies.
Cheers!
