Ok, my lawn could seriously use some help too...I want it to be green again! Def would help the curb appeal : )
Winners kit loot could be themed -- like a 'painters bucket' with frog tape, scraping blades, cool edging brush, fabric dropcloth, goo be gone (good for removing oil paint from hands), vinyl gloves (good for keeping hands paint free), sanding blocks and spackle. Or a fall bucket, with items to help winterize house -- like wrap for tree trunks, insulating wrap for pipes in basement, tray for drippy boots, that plastic you put over your windows & heat with hair dryer to keep out window drafts, solar walkway lights (its going to get darker earlier).
@Sami AWESOME IDEA! Thanks! Don't forget to enter!!
I think new house numbers would be a great item to include in basket. And perhaps some bulbs to plant for next spring.
A pair of nice, large planters (made of fiberglass, so they're not too heavy) would be great. I think they help perk up any entry, whether flanking the front door, to either side of the porch stairs, flanking the sidewalk, etc.
@Brittany - AWESOME IDEA! Thanks!
I'm in! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway! And following your tweets...

Maybe the kit could contain a new exterior light, mailbox, house numbers, and planters - y'know, stuff nearly anyone could use to spruce up the porch. Or maybe a flag pole & flag. Maybe it's a bit over the top, I dunno, but we've been flying "Old Glory" all Summer.
@Rob Thanks for the ideas! We so need a new mailbox and house numbers!!!! jealous of the winner!
