While laying in bed one night and thinking about an organizing project (or two) that I had been putting off for way too long.....I had the revelation that I was probably not the only one who tends to procastinate on projects! And I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if we all had some type of motivation to get a jump start on spring cleaning?" Enter the Pgh Momtourage Spring Cleaning Challenge 2013!! Since we have sponsors that are nation-wide, you don't have to live in the Pittsburgh area to enter, anyone across the country can win! (The Melting Pot is a local prize and keep in mind for some of the online prizes that shipping could be more expensive in Hawaii, Alaska or outside the United States.)
Here’s the challenge:
·
Re-organize a place in your home
·
Take before & after pics
·
Post on contest wall
·
Be entered for awesome prizes!
The contest pics and entries will all be done through our facebook contest page here.
Whether you are doing a small project or a complete
over-haul, you have the chance to win! We will have 2 separate categories so
those organizing a junk drawer won’t be up against someone clearing their
garage!
Your project will be entered in one of two categories:
·
It's the little things that matter
·
Does this space make my house look
big
Feeling extra ambitious? You can enter more than one
project! Rules: the projects must be in completely separate rooms in your home
(i.e. a child’s bedroom & an office, ect….), you can only win one time.
Amazing prizes include: $100 gift card to The Melting Pot (Station Square location),
$50 gift card to thredUP, $50 gift card to Lot26 Studio, box of $50 worth of
products from Pick Your Plum, and $25 gift card from Bedeckle!
Want a super EASY way to be entered to win? (No
re-organizing required!) Share this contest! Every time you share this contest
either through your facebook page, twitter, Pinterest or blog, post a comment
below on the contest page, you will be entered to win a $25 gift card from
Bedeckle! You can do this up to FIVE
times!! (Please spread out your postings so as not to drive everyone crazy). J
Rules for posting pictures:
- Post a before/after pic in one picture. (Some tips to do that are below)
- Label “before” & “after” as well as what space it is (i.e. closet, bedroom, basement, ect….)
- Use either a 2 or 4 picture square collage (no more)
- Post what city you live in
{If you have never created a picture collage before, I
suggest http://www.picmonkey.com/.
First create a collage of either 2 or 4 square pics. Then save to your desktop,
go back into the regular editor (you’ll have to back out of collage) and use
the “add text” tool to label “before”, “after”, and what space it is.}
Contest ends at Midnight on March 31st! All
entries must be posted to page by that time. Local educator and mother of 4, Mrs. Laura
Miller, will be our guest judge and join me in reviewing all your entries. Winners will be chosen and prizes will be
awarded by Sunday, April 7th, 2013.
But remember,
everyone is a winner!
Here is our mantra:
“I really regret
getting that space totally organized.
-said no one EVER!!”
A word about our awesome sponsors:
The Melting Pot: There's just something about a fondue pot that invites
conversation. Invites laughter. Invites coming together. At The Melting Pot Restaurant, we offer a dining
experience like no other. A unique, interactive dining experience creating
memorable moments with family and friends. From the time the first piece of
bread is dipped and the last piece of dessert is savored, you'll be graced with
the time to discover new things about people you thought you knew. And, those
you're getting to know. We are the
premier fondue restaurant where guests can enjoy a choice of fondue cooking
styles and a variety of unique entrees, salads and indulgent desserts. It's up
to you. Tailor your visit with a four-course dining experience including cheese fondue, salad, entree and dessert. Or, come by for fondue cheese paired with that perfect
glass of wine from our extensive selection. That's not to say, we haven't had
more than a few stop by to satisfy that chocolate craving after a movie. Whether you're celebrating romance, a birthday or anniversary - or just a night out while the babysitter is in charge
- we offer something truly unique. An opportunity to interact and connect while
experiencing all fondue has to offer.
