Gevalia Coffee Bean Chat - Take 2 - TODAY!

I'm re-posting this from last week.  Due to technical difficulties, this didn't happen last week, but it's definitely on for 10 a.m. EST TODAY!  Details below...

Hey guys!

I'm doing something for the very first time...I'm going to take my lunch break from work early tomorrow and host an hour long chat over on Gevalia Coffee's Bean Chat facebook page.

If you're interested in joining, just go to Gevalia's Facebook page (click here), and on the left hand column side, under their profile picture, click on Bean Chat.  The chat starts at 10 a.m. EST, but I think the chat will be open starting at 930 a.m..  I will be talking about lots of different thrifty home improvement topics and sharing some of my projects on there.

Yes, if you know me in real life, it's relatively humerus that I'm doing this.  I don't even have a facebook account.  I made one for Kara's Korner just so I could login to do this.  But hey, I'm always up for trying new things!

Oh, and as an added perk, they're giving away three bags of coffee to bean chat participants!  So if you have any questions you'd like for me to answer (live), or just love coffee, head over there and check it out.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Another Fun Friday Giveaway - CSN Stores

It's that time again...time for another giveaway from CSN Stores!  With so many projects lined up to get done before Little Miss Hart makes her arrival, it was really hard to turn down the product review for myself, but I really love my readers and wanted to show you guys how much I appreciate your support.

One lucky reader of Kara's Korner will receive a $35 gift card.  All for just reading my blog! (Wait?  You're not a follower or email subscriber?  Really?!  Why not?!?!  Go sign up...see the Please Follow Along or Email section right to the right on my sidebar!!)  So tell your Mom, Sisters, Aunts, and all of your friends to get their bootay's over here to try to win.  And then tell them what you'd like for them to buy you with the gift card they won.  Hey, they wouldn't have found it without you!

So what would I have done with the gift card?!?!

Well, there's the obvious choice of something for the nursery.  But I'm much less decided on how I'm decorating in there just yet...so that's a no go for now.

I think I'd have to go with something in our bedroom.  Because we live in Florida, we only have a thin quilt on our bed.  With all this cold weather here lately, and Chris and I sleeping under 5 layers of bedding, I'd really love to get a new modern duvet covers for our bed for the winter.  There's 93 on the site to choose from, but I think my favorites, for our color scheme, are either the blue and yellow or gray and yellow ones.  Hmmm...

Although, I do love the clean lines of this brown one!

If you can't tell, fixing up our bedroom is on the 'list' for 2011!

Onto the details...

• PRIZE: A $35 gift card to any CSN store.
• TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I FOLLOW” and…
