Chandel, be sure to email me your shipping information so I can get this lovely book on it's way to you!
If you entered last week's contest but didn't happen to be the lucky winner, don't worry, you can enter again this week. And this week's contest is super special because we decided to give away two Country Living books instead of one! We've chosen these two beautiful books for this week's giveaway!
This book contains 75 crafty projects such as aromatic candles, superb soaps, family keepsake book, wreaths, herbal bath bags and several projects for framing, just to name a few.
A Very Modest Cottage (Country Living)
This is a beautifully illustrated story about how one woman saves a 1920's cabin and moves it across two states to give it a new life. The cottage is now restored as close to it's original condition as possible, and filled with vintage pieces found at thrift stores, yard sales, and even dumpsters. Her story shows that the right attitude and a willingness to roll up your sleeves makes pretty much anything possible.
So, there you have it!! Both of these books could be yours! The details of the contest are the same. You can do any or all of these for a chance to win:

Do the eggs on the Country Living Magazine's April, 2011 cover look familiar?
Do you remember this Natural Dye Colored Easter Egg post that I did for Easter last year?
Now that the April issue of Country Living Magazine is officially on the newsstand, we can finally announce this exciting news!
We were contacted by an Editor from Country Living Magazine back in January to see if I would be interested in recreating this Natural Dye Colored Egg Project for the April issue of their magazine. And, of course, I said yes! 🙂
It's true; the eggs beautifully displayed on this pedestal were made by me, in my kitchen in Southern California, and were carefully packaged and shipped overnight to County Living in New York City for their photo shoot!
The Editor had originally planned on the project being featured in the craft section of the magazine, but we were thrilled when we received the news that the Editors decided to feature the project on the cover. And the project is also featured on their website in the 10 Adorable Easter Craft Projects section.
If you've come to our site after reading about us in Country Living Magazine, we would like to extend a HUGE welcome to you!
If you like this project, we want to encourage you to Subscribe to our Feed and Like us on Facebook. We have plans to share more craft projects here on our site, as well as continue with our recipes, beauty product reviews and tips we discover that help us in our quest to live a fit, healthy and responsible lifestyle that’s still fun!
We don’t claim to be experts in any one thing, but what we do know is what women care about and like to talk about. That’s what we love to share with you here on BigSisLilSis.
To celebrate this project making the cover of Country Living Magazine and to welcome our new readers, we decided to give away a Country Living book. And since the Editor at Country Living was so kind to donate FOUR books to us, we'll be having a Country Living Book Giveaway each week for the next four weeks.
To kick-start this series of giveaways, the first book we'll be giving away to one lucky reader is this gorgeous book!
Restore. Recycle. Repurpose. Create a Beautiful Home
And when I say gorgeous, I mean gorgeous! I LOVE this book!
(I really wanted to keep this book for myself, but it's more fun to give than receive, right?) 🙂
This book is full of beautiful photos and inspiring ideas on how everyone can create a home that's as harmonious with the environment as it is beautiful. The book is jam-packed with great, practical advice on ways you can “go green” in each room of your home.
