Guess the DIY Blogger {The Awkward Years} Giveaway

We are going to have some kind of FUN today! A group of DIY bloggers have been DYING over old pictures of ourselves for a couple of weeks now. HAHA. It is HYSTERICAL to look back and remember our more awkward years (wait, sometimes I feel like I am still IN my awkward years, but anyway…certainly there were some extremely laughable hair dos and attempts to be cool or at least not to totally humiliate ourselves back in the day.)  Although now that we look back at our photos, OH MY GOSH, what in the world were we thinking? Ha. Definitely awkward.

Do you remember your most awkward years? Somehow, though, we lived through them and can laugh at ourselves now. Right? Or at least laugh with each other!

So are you you ready for some fun? …

Let’s take a ride in that DeLorean parked outside and go back in time. Back to a time before there was Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. Before chevrons, mercury glass and ombré were hot. And most importantly, before there were blogs!

We’re going back to when these DIY gals were worrying about how high they could get their hair, was there food in their braces and oh no…not another zit! Talking on the phone for hours meant stretching that long spiral cord beyond its limits and tying up the only phone in the house. Common purchases for these DIY gals may have been the latest cassette tape, neon bracelets, a swatch watch and a tube of clearasil. You wouldn’t catch them dead in the hardware store, totally unheard of to the max!

Are you there yet? Do you see leg warmers or jelly sandals? You’re getting closer…the time machine has stopped so step out of your DeLorean and behold…the time before blogs:

And they are giving a $300 Lowe’s Gift Card to the first person who can guess which faces match with which DIY blogs. This giveaway is not sponsored or affiliated with Lowes.

      Aww, too bad you couldn’t award the gift card to whomever got the most right. You wouldn’t believe how much time I spent on this comparing all the bloggers’ photos, facial features, hair color, etc.!

        Wish we could’ve given awards to everyone who got them right! Sadly only the first one to get them all right gets the gift card :) you are awesome for trying!!!
