Reviews/Giveaways

I was exited to have the chance to review The Simple Stencil because we have been working on updating our home decor with wall words for awhile now. I even hosted an Uppercase Living demonstration just for the chance to earn a few pieces—it’s dang expensive! I’ve also bought the cheap stuff in retail stores, but (here’s the thing about “cheap”) it wasn’t really any good.

The good news is Simple Stencil works great and costs about 25% less! Their catalog isn’t quite as extensive, but I still had a really hard time narrowing down my selections. I ended up having her create a custom piece with the phrase “It’s never too late for happily ever after…” It just fits us in this new phase of our marriage. I’m thrilled with the choice, and the line looks fabulous along the top of our bedroom window.

Watch The Simple Stencil in action in my first ever video review, then check out how you can win $50 to choose your own!

thumb-tried-it-tuesdayThere are numerous products and tools designed to help you live your life. Some will work, while others won’t. Each Tuesday, we’ll share something we’ve tried so you won’t have to spend money until you know it’s worth it! Our selections usually include items that will also save your family money while others will save you time or just make your inexpensive life easier to manage. I was provided with $50 in stencils from the company through Mom Made That to try for this review, but the opinion is 100% real.
