a spoonful of dish: Giveaways

before + after

How was your weekend friends? Ours was fantastic! We played all day Saturday and enjoyed the sunny California weather. Sunday was equally fun although I spent most the time indoors sprucing up our house. I decided to spruce up the shelves in our family room since they have acted as a catch all for pictures, toys, diapers and junk for the past year. With zero money and only items I had at home I did the impossible (or so I thought) and transformed these drab shelves to fab (at least in my mind). What do you think? Any space in your house you're are sick of and is need of a makeover?

If you noticed on this last photo, I resorted to displaying some of my cook books since I ran out of regular books. They work now although in time I plan on adding more art, travel, fashion and design books.

Also, after reviewing my pictures I have realized that I really need to learn how to use my camera. Any tips on how to use a Canon Power Shot SX10IS?

Finally, I wanted to let ya'll know that A Spoonful Of Dish will be hosting giveaways for the rest of the week. Yay! I am so excited to show my loyal and patient readers some thanks for following me and sticking by me this last year.

So, make sure to stop by all week to win some great stuff here at A Spoonful of Dish.

Bachelorette Reality and a Giveaway

Are you a fan of the Bachelorette this season? The hubs and I have been glued to it and I have to say I keep asking myself why? Mostly because it really is a silly show filled with awkward moments {at least for me} and almost no one makes it in the end. It's to be expected because these people have a whirlwind romance that ends with a proposal {we hope} at the end of a short two month dating period. Oh and throw in celebrity of sorts and that just puts these couples on a downward spiral to an eventual breakup, just look at Jake and Vienna.
This season though I find it even more strange with the media's fascination and analysis of the show. InStyle magazine had a photo shoot with Ali {the bachelorette} to help her pick date outfits for when she was in New York. I guess I only associated tabloid journalism with this type of show not InStyle. To add to that, 20/20 did another expose this season on the Bachelorette/Bachelor series to analyze the show. Seriously, should this show be taken this seriously?
Back to gossip, who do you think Ali will pick? My money is on Roberto... He's a cutie pie who can dance and he seems to really be into her. Despite my rant above, I can't wait to see what happens next week.

Meet the cast:
Ali, she quit her job in Ad Sales at Facebook to find her husband on the Bachelorette.

Meet Roberto, Ali's soon to be fiance.... At least he's my pick.

Meet Chris, the soon to be broken hearted. He seems like a great guy so I feel for him, really.

Who do you think Ali pick or do you even care? What reality shows do you love?

By the way, tomorrow is an exciting time for The Dish.... It's our first GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

Make sure to stop by tomorrow and see what you can win.

Dot the Dog is a winner

Please excuse the mess here at The Dish today. It looks as if my blog is having some technical issues. My last post pics weren't showing anymore and now my header and photos are covered in a gray band. I am working on getting it fixed.
In good news, I, actually my dog, Dot the Dog, won a Eco-friendly Harry Barker Dog Bed. Thanks to Jamie of i suwannee and her pup Rowdy for hosting this fantastic giveaway.
Dot the Dog will soon be resting easy on this bed soon. He is getting a medium sized bed in the color blue and rectangular in shape.
