We would like to thank everyone who entered our Get Organized giveaway and showed us a picture of their {messy} craft space!  We loved seeing all of the work spaces and it was very hard to pick just one winner…so we picked our top 5 spaces that we thought needed the most organizational help (in no particular order):

Amanda Haynes’ photo submitted through Facebook:

We then turned to random.org to pick the grand prize winner.  And the winner is…AMANDA HAYNES! Amanda will receive $150 worth of storage products to help get her craft space in order.  The other four ladies deserve an honorable mention and will also receive a storage gift to help get them started on the road to organizational recovery.

We hope that you all had a great holiday and thank you to everyone who voted in our Ornament Challenge Showdown! 

It was close, but the ornament that got the most votes was Sarah F’s Ribbon Flower Ornament!  And the randomly selected voter who will receive a prize pack worth $100 is…Maria Soto!  She said:
