Hello! It’s me again, reminding you that I’ll be giving away an original painting once I hit 500 likes!

IMPORTANT INFO:

You simply have to ‘like’ the page to qualify. You do not have to share it, though it is of course appreciated. A name will be drawn once the page reaches 500 ‘likes’. If you liked my page months ago, you are already entered in the draw.

The painting will be 11” x 14” or smaller (but not too small, don’t worry) chosen by me at the time of the draw.

Due to the absurd cost of international shipping, only those who reside in US/Canada may be eligible (unless you are happy to pay for shipping, which we will discuss if/when you win).

We’re suddenly almost half way there, so get liking!

Thanks for all your support, and good luck!

Free painting don’t mind if i do.

Build your own personal office sphere in your backyard. Pretty awesome. At least until four of your drunk friends decide to roll you down the hill.

This is a barbecue for the environmentalist in your family. It is uses reflected sun energy instead of propane, wood, or coals. Hopefully, your guests are willing to share that one kebab.

Amazing idea for the golf fanatics. With a little digging and mowing, you could transform your yard in a multi-hole putting green.

I’m glad these children are having fun now because they definitely suffered neck injuries immediately after this picture was taken.

This is the most comfortable, homey backyard I’ve ever seen. I would happily live on this yard even if it didn’t have a house to accompany it.

Dad-of-the-year builds giant Slip ‘N Slide. Remember, you don’t always have to be rich for an idea like this, just get adopted into their family.

Another cool example of repurposed junk. Turn your tired tires into a cool garden.

I love this because all the elements look they could be found in the trash. An old ladder and some junky pots make a beautiful stage for your plants.

Pools are no longer cool. The coolest backyards now have in-ground trampolines. What’s under the trampoline? Coyotes. Jump safely!

I saw this on the Canadian Tire website. It’s a backyard game and I have no idea how to play it. Whoever comes up with the most creative instructions/rules wins the title ‘Automatic King/Queen of Ladder Ball’.

This is ALL the information from the website, I even included the one review.

You shouldn’t go swimming at night. But you should definitely enjoy some pool. Check out this light up pool table. Perfect for the deck.

Oh, What’s that? Is that the world’s greatest invention? I THINK IT IS!

Finally, rotisserie is mobile. The Carson Portable Rotisserie is compact and folds into this handsome case that looks like you’re transporting uranium for the government.

It has room for seven skewers, a charcoal grill, and a rechargeable battery. Does that mean you can grill on battery power in an emergency grilling situation? I don’t know! Probably! Hopefully! It better!

Let’s call a spade-hoe a spade-hoe. This thing isn’t just good for salads, it’s also going to help save my back this gardening season.
