***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries, Thank You!***

We’ve shared CAPow! work before, in our Map Lovin’ round up.  Crystal is the mastermind behind CAPow and all the fantastic art prints.  If you have a weakness for maps, like we do, you’ll love CAPow!

First, we fell for the Hometown Hearts print series featuring Valentine’s Day candy hearts atop a city map.  Of course, I love  Home Safe Twin Cities.

But, CAPow has more than Hometown Hearts to offer all you map lovers.  The Typography series reminds me of the Ork city posters.

I Love Minnesota

I Love California

Or, add a print of your favorite City Skyline

And if that wasn’t enough, check out all the gorgeous photographs.

We heart love our sponsor, Jen, my friend, organization guru, and design diva behind the blog IHeart Organizing.

Her Etsy shop is stocked with labels, check sheets, and other goodies to get you organized, or keep you running as efficiently as possible.

Jen recently released templates for a personalized household binder, to keep all of your important info in one place, right at your fingertips.

Thank you, Jen, for sharing your fantastic ideas, organizing skills and eye for design with us.  And thank you even more for sponsoring us to keep things running along.

Thank you so much for sharing more about yourselves with us.  It seems we have a lot in common.  We’re married, in our 20’s (I’m 25 and Ben is 28).  We have two kids and a dog, residing in the U.S. of A.

Forty-four brave souls answered our questions and guess what?  Each of you was female.  Not shocking, I know, seeing as most men don’t like to chat share like women.  Most readers, 80% are married or in a steady relationship.  70% of you are between ages 21 and 29, 20% are between 30 and 39 years of age and 5% are in their 40’s.  I guess no one under 21 or over 50 reads this blog.  Ha.  Three commenters have kids, seven have kids of the human and fur kind, and 27 have only fur babies.  Only three people live outside of the U.S, either Canada or South Africa.

You ladies follow a lot of blogs!  Most were under 50, but Laura reads 400 blogs!  That’s amazing, thanks for letting us be one of yours, everyone!  It makes sense that most of you like the same type of blogs we do.  Mostly home improvement, DIY, craft, sewing, photography related.  Others enjoy cooking, parenting, and marriage blogs.  Thirteen commenters have their own blogs, and I can’t wait to check them all out.

You gals are so sweet!  Most of you said you love our blog as it is, no need to change.  A few comments that I literally AOL (awwed out loud) to: Your blog is one of the first that I started following, and has remained one of my top 5 favorites! Seriously. I’m not just trying to flatter you – I love it!

I love your blog just the way it is! You keep it real while showing us the way you live and work and DIY!

I love your blog–it’s much better than many others out there!  I’m drawn to your blog because you remind me of my family. My husband is very handy and we are constantly making changes to our space.

I Love Love Love that you guys do a lot of things yourself and take your time with them! I know that improvements take a lot of energy, and I’m one of those people who like to get things done! It’s nice to know that little changes make a big difference and it doesn’t have to be done all at once!  OHHH, and let’s not forget that it’s awesome how helpful and supportive your hubby is.

I love how you share how you do things, so we are not just looking at your office, but we could take your idea and run with it.

I’ve noticed your shop products have gotten better and better over the past few months too!

What I love about your blog is how it shows that you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars and completely overhaul a room to really improve it. I think the way you guys take on projects that aren’t necessarily big but make a big difference is great.

You have great taste and I love your style.

Honestly, you’ve left fantastic, sweet, encouraging, helpful, wonderful comments in the past, but this was really my “You like me, you really like me!” moment.

Your suggestions were so helpful, too.

More pictures.  We had requests for more tutorials and practical DIY projects, including a how to for the graphics I design.  Maybe more mood boards?

Don’t write too many sponsored posts.  I hear you, Chandeen.  While we get more offers, I only accept the ones that we would actually use or consider using.

Not having to subscribe to enter giveaways.  While I prefer to have subscribers, I don’t mind if you aren’t subscribed so long as you actually follow along with some regularity.  Basically, I don’t want your only comments to be for giveaways.  Is that cool?

The suggestion of “find this look for less” items was awesome!  Because these were your suggestions, we want to know if you’ve seen any items around that you’d like us to try making a version of?  And, we’d love suggestions for “the look for less” series.

To really get to know you, we asked for you to share something totally random about yourselves.  Some of your comments I had to read to Ben, just to show that I’m not crazy the only person that does this.

Kristi G, I’m right there with you, except the accountant thing.  I fold Ben’s Vincent’s and my underwear.  Ben thought I was crazy that I couldn’t stuff them in a drawer like normal people.  And I love going to Office Depot to look at the pretty clips and magnets.  And I want a pretty tape dispenser.  Kristi said: I’m a super-over-organized accountant. Like bad organized. Like fold your sons underwear organized. I also keep my staplers/stamps/tape/scissors locked in my desk drawer. The stapler came with me from my last job and I LOVE it. They had a new stapler for me when I started here and I said “no thanks.” I really like office supplies.

Justine  can’t stand time left on the microwave.  And toilet paper has to be in the over position, or she will change it, even at someone else’s house.  Me too, to both.  Ben leaves time on the microwave and I have to press end to clear it.  And the tp thing, one time, someone put the tp on the holder and Ben asked who did it because it was backward, so it couldn’t have been me.

Ashley L said: I have little patience so when I start a project, it needs to get finished THAT DAY!  I will stay up all night if I need to.  It’s a problem.  Ashley, I feel your pain.  I’ll work on something as long as I can, just to get it done.  I want to check it off my list!

Other comments that made me giggle:

Corie:  Birds scare me. But I like them when it comes to decorating A LOT! Is that weird?  {I’ve got 50 birds in our house.  I like them a lot, too!}
