You know those times when you DESPERATELY want to fit something in because you love the person, or the brand, or the company…so you say YES instead of no, but you don’t do your best work, and it just really proves that you should have said no in the first place, so that the said brand, or person or whatever, doesn’t have to feel embarrassed by your attempt…whew..I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over my run on sentence, was that a yes?? I’m so glad you can relate..that’s how I feel today. I said yes last month to an amazing company ( blinds.com) in fact, I think I saw they were doing a challenge and I emailed them..I think…either way, I excitedly opened my little roller shade that they promptly mailed to me
( Blinds.com…amazing at quick shipping) and I unwrapped it with hopes of crazily diy-ing away into a blissful end point at which time i would be chosen the winner, and walk away with an awesome Birchbox prize…well..here is where life came into the picture. That sweet little roller blind sat there, lonely by itself, while I emailed, worked, wasted time on facebook, worked some more, was a mama, whatever…until ONE day before it was due. I was like. CRAP..I need to, and WANT to do this roller shade challenge!! SO, I got out my paints..DISASTER..like my paint brush PUKED on the tiny little shade. It was shameful.
I sent pictures with a sad note saying “I’m sorry I suck, gonna try the other side. The gracious “MS. A” from Blinds.com said, no problem, we all have bad days..try again. SO I did!! Here is the final piece….I love the IDEA of this..I really do..I have clients that I would purchase this shade for, however, the actual “finished piece” isnt so pristine and clean!! But Im sharing it anyway, mostly because I want you to ALL check out the other entries and the final winner!!! I love that Blinds.com is so active in the blogging world, it makes bloggers who are trying to balance it all, feel supported! and we appreciate it!!
