This giveaway has now ended.
We'll be back soon to announce the winners name!
We'll be back soon to announce the winners name!
Good afternoon!
Yesterday morning, we woke up extra early so that we could take a another trip to our favorite True Value store. The store is about 40 minutes from our house, and since I usually work on design consultations from mid-morning to late in the evening, we wanted to make sure I could get back in time for me to get in a full days worth of work in.
Because our second True Value DIY Blog Squad project is going to be an outdoor project, we've had exterior design on the brain a lot lately. As I type, our yard is completely covered in leaves, and our 5-year old rake actually looks nervous, standing in the corner of our storage area under the house. Unfortunately I don't think we're allowed to purchase a leaf blower for ourselves (our DIY Squad mission is to tackle projects), but that doesn't mean we can't spend some of the money True Value gave us on YOU, right? :-)
So our October True Value giveaway will be this fantastic electric leaf blower/vacuum made by E-Max:
Here's a short video we shot yesterday morning while picking it out.
(It will give you a sneak peek at the decor items we'll be giving away in November too!)
To enter to win the E-Max Leaf Blower/Vacuum leave a comment on this post, and tell us why you'd like to win it! (we love your stories!)
The giveaway starts today (Friday, October 23rd, 2009) and will end on Monday, October 26th, 2009 at noon, Central Time. We'll choose a winner using Random.org on Monday afternoon- so make sure to come back to see if you've won!
Good luck!
Kevin will be back soon with a post about our bathroom door project. He's in the home stretch, and you're never going to believe how this DIY story ends!
Bear hugs,
Layla :-)

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 402 Newer› Newest»I would like to have this because it would be fun to see all the beautiful Vermont Maple leaves that fell in my yard take one more flight to the compost pile! I am queenesperfect at yahoo.com
I would LOVE a leaf blower!!! We have six maples and cherry trees in our front lawn alone! LOVED the video...
Well, WE don't have any trees in our yard that drops a lot of leaves but my neighbor does! I hate raking the leaves that blow into my yard. I would use this to blow them back into his yard (ok...maybe I would bag them).
my red rock landscaped front yard is sooooo much in need of this giveaway.
I never win anything but you never know unless you try right?
Thanks Layla and Kevin.

I would like the leaf blower because our neighbor has a huge tree and all of his leaves/acorns blow onto our property. He is too lazy to blow them up himself, so he has his 70 year old dad blow them off his property and sometimes our property to be nice. We feel bad, so we'd like to blow our own leaves off. Thank you!!
-Charlene
What a fantastic giveaway! If I won, I would give this to my dad for Christmas - he's never had a leaf blower, and would love to have one!
I would love to with. My mother is getting older every day and has resorted to son labor for most of the house these days. I could use this very much. Thanks
This would be so great! That's my kind of toy!
I want desperately to win the leaf blower because I desperately need it!! Do I sound desperate?
Anyway, I've just recently discovered y'all & your blog...love it!!! You have seriously made me fall in love with my house because I can finally see the potential here...THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR INCREDIBLE TALENT!!!!
If we don't win this, I fear the leaves will finally win.
We have so many leaves in the yard! ugh it's so annoying! please save me!
vanitizebaby@yahoo.com
Id love to win to gift to my parents...they have no reason to rake em into piles anymore since we are all grown up! lol
Great blog Wow!
Yes, me, please!! :-) We have a beautiful oak tree in our front yard. However this oak tree leaves many, many acorns and leaves on our stairs down to our driveway which makes it quite dangerous! so you can see, we desperately need one of those fantastic blowers!!
this would be a great present for my stepdad.
The two of you are just adorable & I enjoy your blog so much. This is really a great giveaway and thank you for being so generous. We do all our lawn and garden work ourselves and this would be so helpful. I don't know who would love it more me :-) or my back!! Thanks you guys,
Carey
My hubby would worship the ground you walked on if I won!! I think it would make the best christmas present of his life!! lol! Poor guys spends hours raking leaves every year. He waits until ALL the leaves have dropped and then busts out the rake and rakes ONCE. But it takes him half the day b/c we basically live in a forest....
You two! Be careful Layla, Kevin might end up being the next design star...
Love your videos and projects.
Becky H. blh646@yahoo.com
My garage could really use a leaf blower. The door doesn't close all the way and the leaves and soot find their way inside. It's just a mess...I tell you.
I would like to win because I live in the country and this could be so useful to my family. Would save us a lot of time.
brewerchickey78@yahoo.com
My son just bought a house and is really trying to take care of the outside (something I could never get him to do as a teen). I'd love to win this and give it to him to help make it a little easier!
Ok, I would love to win it because we live on an acre full of beautiful trees...and you know what we are seeing right now!!
Thanks for the giveaway...you guys are great~
Even though we live in Florida we have 3 large oak trees. We sure could use that leaf blower.
Thanks
Tracey
I would love to win so I can have my very own power tool. This way when I am out there blowing leaves with my nifty new gaget I can look up at my husband diggen out the gutters by hand and laugh my butt off
I would LOVE to have my very own leaf blower! We have 4 very large trees in our yard, which we love in the spring and summer. But not the fall! What an incredible giveaway.
Tim
Our new house has a 50 year old maple tree in the backyard and while its golden leaves are beautiful now, it is going to be a lot of leaves to rake up!
I hope the random org picks me because I am working on diy projects on my own with a totally uninterested husband who could use that and be up to something good.
stevekellidd@yahoo.com
Oh, pick me, pick me! We are moving from a home completely surrounded by cedar trees (thus no leaves) to a home surrounded by huge maples. So, needless to say, a leaf blower is on our short list of things we want for the new place! With a baby on the way, it sure would make our outdoor chores go faster so we could focus on fixing up this little girl's nursery!
I would love to win this for my father! He always takes great pride in his lawn looking great, and right now he's battling lung cancer. He's going through chemo and is super tired all the time. This would take a load off of his hands, while still letting him do what he loves to do!
I think it would be awesome to win that leaf blower. Not only could I use it outside to blow all my cypress needless out of my yard, but I could use it inside too.
My kids leave their toys everywhere and I just know it would be so much easier to blow them all back into the play room.
I would like to win this because it looks like a neat product and I am all for anything that makes lawncare easier!
footejennifer at hotmail.com
What a fabulous giveaway! We could really use a leaf blower - this is our first fall in our current house and we are surrounded by gorgeous trees, which also means that our yard is now filled with lots of leaves!
my husband does alot of work outside during the fall and winter months like raking leaves and shoveling snow I would love to get this for him because I know it would make his job so much easier
chickeedee_2002 at yahoo dot com
I would love to win this for my husband because he often spends a couple hours raking the leaves only to have my sons jump in the pile and spread them all over the place. I'm hoping this would cut down the time enough that the kids might not notice!
ag1414@hotmail.com
We need a leaf blower! I have already begun raking leaves and I do not look forward to the next few months of yardwork. A leafblower would make things much faster and give me more time to spend with my family.
Autumn is my favorite season, but it's also the most work. That leaf blower could actually make yard work fun for us!
I am tired of raking everyday. This would help me save time and muscle aches. Thanks.
emmy5905@embarqmail.com
I would LOVE to win the leaf blower! My DH, son and I do lawns as a way of paying for my son's private school. (Public schools are not-so-hot where we live). It is grueling work and we could use all the help we can get! Some days we do 6-8 lawns!! (This is AFTER school & work!)
I'd like to win this so I could give it to my dad so I can use it when he calls me every time it snows to clear his driveway.
I nEED this! My mom lives across the street and I am always envious of hers, but refuse to borrow it:)
Tamera@doubledelight
We need lawn equipment, this is why we'd like to win the leaf blower. We recently started living in a house and have no idea what we are doing with the yard. Help us!! Thanks so much!

My darling Hubbs had a triple bypass several years ago....he does allll of the yardwork...who knows...this little gadget could wind up being a lifesaver!
Blessings,
Spencer
I would love to win this for my husband. We have so many trees in our yard and although we love the beauty of them at this time of year...we are always raking, raking, raking! My husband actually does twice as much as I do. I hope we win!
I'm loving me a leaf blower:)
amy_b_hall@yahoo.com
Would love to win this. You guys always look like you are having fun!
I would love to win this.My yard is full of trees, so that means it will be full of falling leaves. I need all the help I can get.
I want an E-Max Leaf Blower/Vacuum because my favorite fairy tale bad guy is the Big Bad Wolf. Plus, we have trees.
Mrs S
Lots of leaves...too little time! Need I say more? The leaf blower would really come in handy.
What a great giveaway. I live in a neighborhood with weekly lawn service but all they do is blow stuff from one side of the street to the other and totally ignore our back deck. This would come in handy to actually clean up our yard!
And, War Eagle!

What a wonderful giveaway for fall.
We live in a home that is surrounded by trees. Which is gorgeous in the summer but a real pain in the fall.
I do the majority of the yard work and am out there for weeks gathering and disposing of leaves.
They are all over the ground and intertwined in all of my flower beds.
And a lot of care has to be taken so that my flowers are not destroyed.
This would make my job so much easier and faster.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.
my dad's leaf blower is falling apart, i'd love to win this and give it to him
I would like to win the leaf blower because we have eight trees plus we live across the street from a park with trees and the wind blows those over here too. It would make clean ups easier!
My husband has a herniated disc and blowing/vacuuming leaves would be a lot easier for him than raking/bagging.
My back yard and porch are literally blanketed with bright yellow maple leaves. It is very disorienting, so much so that you can't even tell where the steps are from the porch to the yard. My dog is old and doesn't see well as it is let alone being blinded by yellow leaves!
Love your blog and watching all of your projects. You inspire me to get off my butt and do more around my own home. Thankyou! Would LOVE to win the leaf blower. Will you autograph it, if we win?? Thanks :)
We could so use this weed blower becasue we have " 60 Billion Leaves" too! My husband would be thrilled! I love how you guys have so much fun together!
Thank you for all your sweetness and your wonderful blog!
Have a lovely Sunday!

It seem like something I could operate and it also seems like I voulenter to help do the yard work while he's busy incloseing the front porch to make more indoor living space for all the grandkids.
A sweet mercy! We would love to win this because our lot is surrounded by trees but the 50+ year old walnut tree that is so wonderful in the Summer is a quite the task to clean up in the Fall. This would sure make it much easier! Anybody need some walnuts?? We have a ton!
My back yard is currently four inches deep in leaves and I am doing a good job of ignoring it, but it has to be done eventually. jelly15301@gmail.com
A leaf blower/vacuum would be awesome! We have a huge tree in our front yard that drops what must be a couple of tons of leaves in the fall (i.e. right now!). And it's rainy, so they're wet, which makes raking them up and disposing of them that much tougher. Anything to make that chore go easier!
The leaf blower would be perfect for my parents, since they are moving to a new house and need some new stuff!
strycker@slu.edu
I'd love to win this - I live in CT, and as I speak, my back and front yards are covered already with maple leaves!!!
I would love to win this leaf blower/vacuum b/c I have 3 inside dogs and need a powerful vacuum to vacuum all that hair + I have several trees around my house contributing to my leafy lawn problem. Thanks for the contest! codisweepstakes2 (at) gmail.com
1. never had one
2. to have all that "power" without the threat of getting hurt by some moving part seems too good to be true.
3. i paid my dues with scared, spindly rakes.
4. your blog is my inspiration
I'd love to win this for my husband, he would love to have a leaf blower!
greenlancer at comcast dot net
We have over five acres with tons of trees. We never can rake our lawn, it's just way too much for my husband and I. This leaf blower would be a blessing.
I would love to win the leaf blower to cut down on my husbands work. He works so hard going to school, working fulltime, being a husband and a great dad. I've wanted to get him one for sometime but it's not in the budget.
amcolvin(at)tusco(dot)net
a leaf blower you say....I'd love this litle goodie to clean up our yard from the pine needles we have filling the yard. We have 4 of the biggest pine trees, This time of year I am not so in love with them. Does the blower say it will blow the neighbors leaves back to HER tree and yard..Does this give me the "out" from raking her leaves?lol Great goodie...
I have 3 pecan trees in my backyard that yield tons of pecans year after year. A leaf blower would make it so much easier to see the pecans without having to rake through the leaves to find them.
traymona[at]aol.com
I love reading your blog! Love the videos even more. You two are so fun to watch! It is great to be reminded how DIY projects can still be fun! Thanks! Although we recently bit the bullet and purchased one of those bad boys, I would still love to win to give as a gift to a very deserving soul! Thanks again! You guys are awesome! - Nicole
Thanks to my neighbors I need three of these!
I'll be honest, I don't do the leaf raking at our house, the hubs does. His birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and for a hot second I thought this would make a great present. But then I came to my senses. Happy birthday honey, now go blow some leaves. Yea not quite! He would still be psyched if this came home though!
AngmeisterSC@aol.com
I NEED to win so that I can generously share the leaves from my trees with all of my neighbors.
now that i am older its harder to get the leaves corralled and we get a ticket and fine here if they are not bagged and raked this would help so much and could help my elderly neighbors too
I would love to win this leaf blower because of the 5 giant oak trees in our yard. They provide great shade in the summer and the autumn colors are beautiful, but those leaves just fall and fall and fall for weeks. We are sick of raking!
I really need the leaf blower because my poor husband worked all summer long mowing neighbor's lawns to earn extra money-the temps were in the 90's and high humidity-there he was dredging from one lawn to the other with a green towel on his head trying to keep himself cool. Thanks to him, we had a little extra money to fly home for a week to see our families. It would be just awesome to gift this to him in appreciation of his hard work and to make sure he has all he needs to be sure he is kept busy next summer-out of my hair-cutting lawns again! thanks for the chance to surprise him!
I'd love to win this as we bought our first home a year ago and are still filling the garage with all the "required" tools / equipment.
Thanks,
Cyndi
cgstuff3@yahoo.com
I have 1 acre to rake and 12 trees .It takes hours and I would love to have this.It would be a life and back saver
Jaleigh78 at aol dot com
great giveaway! I would love to win this... with my yard covered in leaves, this would come in handy!
I would love to use in the garage and outside with the leaves. Another great use is when we rent an RV to travel. This leaf blower comes in handy to get rid of junk on top of the RV and on the sides from the things on the road. Always can find a use for this great product.
Need that leaf blower...Mr. CCC refuses to rake the leaves that fall when our lone tree in the front yard finally realizes it's Autumn here in So. California {which should happen by mid-November}. He hopes the Santa Ana winds will blow those fallen leaves over to our neighbor's yard! So...add us to your giveaway :-) Enjoy reading about your DIY projects.
I would love to win leaf blower simply because i do not own one and winning one will make my life a bit easier. msmith572@yahoo.com
We are Closing on our new house THIS WEEK! We have lived in apartments our whole lives, so we have NOTHING we need for a new home. I would love to win this for hubby!! Thanks for the chance.
mogrill@comcast.net
sign me up
We live in a heavily wooded area so we have lots of falling leaves. Hubby and I both have bad backs so this would make our cleanup a lot easier.
kg4rmt at arrl dot net
I would love to win because we just bought our first house and don't have any yard maintenance equipment. Currently we are having to borrow what we need to get the fall yardwork done.
I would love to win this as I can not afford to buy it, but would love to have it. Thanks. Gaylalimiac@aol.com
I would LOVE to win a leaf blower! My DH and I moved into our first home in March, and now have a MILLION leaves in the yard. We finally saved enough money for a weed wacker a few months ago, but have not been able to save up yet for the leaf blower... for now, we borrow my FIL's leaf blower (which is better than nothing, but he lives in another town... not very convenient).
I really enjoy your blog, keep it up!
I would love it for my husband. Less yard time means more time together (or on other projects). :)
ive never had a leaf blower but i would like one lol who wouldnt!!! thanks for the chance, taintedtears102@yahoo.com
I love your blog and all the helpful hints! I would love to win this leaf blower because we have a million leaves and our 2 year old loves to go out and play but it is very hard to find the doggy doo-doo piles under those leaves. If we had this we could clean the leaves up much easier and find those hidden doggy piles before my daughter falls in them! (BTW - we have a 95 lb yellow lab so they aren't small messes either!) :-)
I would love to win the leaf blower because someone decided they liked my old leaf blower and took it right out of my garage
oooooooh! We'd love to win the leaf blower because.... we have a million trees in the front and back yard and cleaning up the yard would be soooo much easier!!!
Recently, our home and garage was broken into and several items was stolen, including our leaf blower and lawn mower!
Winning this E-Max electric leaf blower would 'definitely' be a blessing for my household!
Please, include my family and I into your giveaway drawing!
Thanks and good luck to all!
leandrew_taylor@yahoo.com
We have lots and lots of pine needles to deal with as well as a huge drive. This would really help my wife since most of the yardwork is up to her.
We'd love to win simply b/c my kiddos and I love the autumn leaves, but not the hours it takes to rake the 7+ acres. Thanks!
Christina
we have a lot of yard as well as a lot of trees, this would be wonderful to have.
love that frame! I would like to win for a very good reason....the leaves are piling up and our leaf blower is gone! no longer with us...someone stole it! And i don't want to rake...
I LOVE True Value and would LOVE to win the leaf blower! My 3 year old and I do lots of yard work and we would get so much use out of this sucker (hehe)!
I would love to win this because my husband loves yard toys :)
Katie
showbizkp[at]gmail[dot]com
As the leaves are falling in our yard, this would make it much easier to clean up the yard.
I'd like to win this so I can give it to my husband and nag him about getting the front lawn in shape :)
rsbryswrrl at gmail dot com
I would love to win this! We are covered in falling leaves here in Northern Virginia!!!
I would love the leaf blower because I have to do all of the yard work and everything else around here!
I just found your blog recently ... I really enjoy it. :-)
I would love to win this just to be able to blow my decks off. I have a large yard with a lot of trees and I have to sweep my decks every day. Not to mention having to rake out the dogs pens. Wet leaves are horrible on a dog's pen. Thanks for the chance!
sherri419 at gmail dot com
I'm on the couch right now with an incredibly sore back from all the raking I did yesterday... and I barely made a dent! I would love a leaf blower!
This would be very useful as the landlord at my apartment NEVER blows the leves from in front of our place!
i live in a condo, so when the landscapers come around, i can make noise at them
Here's hoping. =)
We just moved into an old house 6 months ago and its on a hill, including the driveway. There are a ton of old oak trees so everything is covered in leafs right now. Its super exhausting racking up a steep hill, so a leaf blower would be a great thing! I enjoyed your guy's video!
I would love to win the leaf blower/vacuum. It would help my husband out a lot.
gjsrjs@sbcglobal.net
I'd love to win because both my hubby & myself are disabled and yardwork always seems to slide to the 'I'm not up to it' category...
I'd love to win because I am so busy and this would make yard work more snappy!
happeejackee at gmail dot com
Because this would cut time way down - we could just blow the leaves from the yard to the street instead of raking - hey, we're getting old!
I need a new blower because a family member ruined my old one by refilling it with the wrong gas!
My hubby is crazy about leaves,so this would be awesome for us!
ardelong2(at)gmail(dot)com
I would be thrilled to win the leaf blower...I have two small kids who would LOVE to jump in the HUGE pile we would have! Thanks for having such a great giveaway!
Heather
What an awesome prize! We could definitely use a leaf blower. We have a two maple trees in the front yard and a backyard full of Hickory trees.Thanks for the chance to win.Michelle
Christina - xristya@rock.com - I have always wanted a leaf blower because we have so many leaves in our front yard but my sweetie refuses to buy, believing in The Rake instead!
I would love to win because we have a huge yard and raking takes forever. My husband works long hours so it is usually me tending to the yard and My hands are starting to hurt. I am starting to think we live in the Forrest with all the leaves that are falling.
Big trees, big yard, big mess. Yes, a blower would be helpful! :)
we have a yard full of trees..and boy are the leafs flying off.....i will need all the help i can get...
cpsnsamples@aol.com
I would love to win this for my son. He takes care of the yards for his two elderly grandmothers and they both have huge trees with lots of leaves. This would make his job much easier. Thanks!

erika (headyem@yahoo.com)
What a great contest. I would love to win this for my husband. A few years ago we sold our home and moved from Florida to our dream spot in northern Michigan. Not to be one stumped by the volume of leaves that fell what seemed to be everyday, he set to work in his spare time to fix the problem. As he described what would happen to my beautiful lawn mower, (yes beautiful) I worried a little bit about how funny I'd look while I mowed our front yard. We were still new to block and our neighbors were betting on how long we could last the climate change, so I was nervous about being forced to push the Mower/ Blower leaf contraption around in public. My dear husband would venture out to the garage after work and soon afterwards I'd hear the sound of metal clanking. He works in the HVAC field, so he knows how to bend metal to his will, and I guess that I should have rested easy. He figured out a way to hook up a motor to the mower and a ridiculous amount of metal to my poor machine and turned it into a push-leaf- mower-blower. To my horror, our new neighbor was standing in our backyard commending him for it and watching during it's maiden voyage around and around our yard. It got the job done and was much quieter than the leaf blowers that we could hear from a few blocks away, so all in all it was a good project. A few months afterwards, we felt the need to pack up and move back to Florida to be closer to our family. Out of the few items that we couldn't pack into our already overcrowded moving truck and trailer was my husband's new leaf contraption. We are now enjoying life in sunny Florida, but as we're entering fall, we are starting to find leaves littering the ground. I have a brand new, shiny mower and my husband keeps eyeballing it in that funny way he has when he's plotting a project and if I can win this blower for him, I feel that my mower will be safe. I don't have the words to decribe the automatic dog-feeding contraption that he just hooked up.
Thanks so much for offering such a great contest.
Carolyn
Oooh! The leaf blower would be an amazing house-warming gift to one of your most devoted readers - me! We're closing on our VERY FIRST HOME this week and the new (very old) house comes with a very old, very large maple tree in the front yard...and about 100 other trees in the back. We could put it to very good use!!! Thanks - and keep up the great job - love your blog.
our blower died last year and need another,help! - regnod(at)yahoo(d0t)com
I need to win this so hubby will get out of my kitchen and get back to his area the yard hehehe.
texasmomo3(at) hotmail.com
We have a large yard in the country with many old sugar maple trees! The leaves are beautiful in the Fall but when the leaves fall what a mess! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
I would love to win this because it would be much quieter than the one we have.
I would love to win this! Or I should say - my HUSBAND would love if I would win! :)
Thanks!
Aimee (maweaver1@gmail.com)
We live in the middle of the woods. We pay our lawn service a small fortune to clean up the leaves every Autumn. Need I say more? ;)
LOVE your blog!
~Paula
Great blower!!!!!
I would love to win the leaf blower - I have an antique shop and the maple tree across the street likes to drop its leaves on my doorstep. They make their way in with every customer. My rake is nervous, too!
I want to win because it seems like an electric blower would be much better than my current rake method!
kerrie@mayansfamily.com
Hi,
I'd love the leaf blower. Our house is 109 years old. That's right, built in 1900 and we have 3 oak trees in our driveway (yes, that's right - in) which are about 109 years old too. HUGE!!!!!! Lots of leaves, too! So, pick me, pick me, pick me please!

We have pine trees that leave a lot of trash. This will help.
I would love to win this because right now our yard is a big, leafy mess and this would help us get it cleaned up in a jiffy!
My rake broke :(
We would love to win a new leaf blower because we are True Value 'die-hards', we have ten fully developed trees that blanket our yard (crying for a leaf vac/blower) and our current model is getting old and in serious need of replacement parts... unfortunately like me! ;)
mcj4tlj(at)comcast(dot)net
This might sound bad, but I would love to win this as a gift for my brother for Christmas. How cheap am I? But, he would love it and it would make his yard work easier.
I would like to win this because we live in the country and have a ton of leaves to clean up. I always feel like I'm shoveling while it's still snowing... Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love a leaf blower because the rakes I have do not entice my children to want to rake leaves. But I am sure that if we had a leaf blower there would be some boys and maybe even a man that would want to play with that thing around here. Maybe they would even move some leaves into piles with it. HA
I would enjoy winning this blower because the landlord complains so much about the lawn in the summer and fall and winter.
letessha@yahoo.com
Would so love to win one of these!!
What a great giveaway!!

Thanks much--have my fingers crossed-

I'd like to win it because it would make yard work a lot quicker. Those are precious minutes I could be spending with my 4 year old. macd82 at gmail dot com
I'd like to win it as a gift for my husband.. he's been wanting one :)
Oh wow, we've needed a leave lower for ages! Our yard is lined down one side with what I've always called talll skinnies, which are really some sort of ash trees and they have so many leaves it's unreal!
We spend so much time raking and bagging, this would cut our time significantly and leave us time to get other things done or just spend some time together..alone maybe. ;)
Thank you so much!
saddleoneup at att dot net
A leaf blower would be great! We live in the desert so it's not really leaves that collect in our yard, it's all the pods that fall off our trees. Thanks!
I would like to win the leaf blower because...well, frankly, I'm jealous! While I'm out there raking my brains out, my neighbor comes out with HIS leafblower. He starts blowing, and is done in 5 minutes. Meanwhile...me, still raking. I think he's snickering at me, but I can't hear him over his leafblower!! Help a girl out!

Okay. I would love to win for selfish reasons. My husband waits until all the leaves have fallen off of our trees before he will start raking. By this time it is always soooooo cold outside and some how my husband always ends up dragging me outside to help. Winning this would make things go a lot faster and save my hands from raking. Thanks for the chance! rubycakesgirl (at) gmail (dot) com
I'd like to win it so I can blow the leaves into my neighbor's yard. Wait, I guess I'm not supposed to say that out loud. Okay, because I would like to give my 16-year-old more work to do in the yard. Is that better?? :)
Awesome giveaway. Thank you so much!
I would love to win because I've got more leaves than anybody! I hate clearing them out and this blower would make it so much easier. Thanks for the chance.
I really need it to clean my leaves off.

You have a great site, leaf blower, LOL but it's that time of year! Thanks, Mary
We just bought a new house that has a big yard with lots of trees and that leaf blower would sure do us some good ;) Love your blog!

Awesome giveaway!! I would LOVE to win this give away becase between our front and back yard we have three HUGE trees for the size of our yard. It would cut leaf clean up in half!!
I'd love to win this because the leaves where I live defy the laws of nature! There seem to be WAY more leaves than could possibly exist on the trees we have, and raking them is a losing battle. This prize would literally change my life, at least in the fall! Thank you.
I'd love to win because we have so many trees and no leaf blower. My husband really likes trees and thinks they will just blow away in our field beside. Well, they don't blow away and we have to rake and it's no fun, LOL! What a great giveaway!

I would LOVE to win the leaf blower... it would make yard work so much quicker (and who really likes yard work??)
I need this for my son, who is 11 and wants to start his own lawn mowing business. He's been obsessed with lawnmowers all his life. Instead of a bike last year, he wanted his own push mower. This would be great for him.

I live in a wooded area where all the trees are dropping leaves like crazy! I would love the blower/vac since I'm the one in charge of getting rid of the leaves. This is a GREAT November giveaway. Thanks.
What a wonderful giveaway, and hooray, I still have a chance to enter!!!! What a great help this would be. Thank you for all of your wonderful inspiration.

I would love to win because we have two acres of woods on our property and we're already COVERED in leaves. I don't know if my back, knees and hands can take another year of raking. Thanks for the chance and keep up the great work on the blog. I just love it.

I would love to win the leaf blower, so I can stop borrowing my parents when I need to get some leaf blowing done. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to win the leaf blower because we have 5 old oak trees that we love for their leaves that change color, but those leaves fall down!
Thanks,

I would love to win this great product. Our home is inunated with leaves. We live on the edge of some woods. Between the woods and our neighbor's trees we have quite a job with the leaves. garrettsambo@aol.com
You two rock! I'd love the leaf-blower b/c my hubby is always on the go, working or helping anyone who needs it. It's part of him that makes me love him even more, but also sometimes leaves me alone to do the yardwork. A leaf-blower would ease the time it takes so I can play with the kids!
Yesterday my husband said, "I think it's time to get a leaf blower." But I don't want to spend the money on it when there's more fun things to by - like decorative items for my kitchen once I finally finish painting my cabinets! But if we won a leaf blower, then we'd both be happy!!
Thanks for the chance!
Without fail, my garage fills with leaves at the beginning of fall. It would be so much easier to blow them out the door than sweep them.
I bought a leaf blower for $5 at a garage sale that sounds like a freight train, but only blows two leaves at a time! Could really use a good one!
Thanks,
Kristen W.
My husband edged the driveway last weekend, for the first time in 6 years. He could use the help. Thanks for the great inspiration on the blog.

Thank you for offering such a great giveaway and just in time for leaf season. We would love to win the leafblower because when we built the house 5 years ago, we made a big effort to keep as many trees as possible and even moved and changed the deck to keep the trees. They are Oak trees and we have acorns and leaves all over the deck and yard. If you choose us, we will be grateful and give the blower a great home!!!
Ok, here's the deal. I want to win this because both of my neighbors have the same lawn service. I don't. The as*ho*es at the service have decided that blowing the leaves onto my lawn is much easier than taking care of them. For the last 2 years, I deal with it and bag up 3 yards worth of leaves. I'm sick of it. I want to blow the leaves back to where they came from and let the people whose job it is to pick them up, pick them up! AAARGH!!!
Leaf blower would be great for my yard! The vaccum part is intriguing!
My Family would love to have the leaf blower. My husband has a bad back and with a full time job, it is difficult to get out and rake leaves on our 2 acres!! Thanks for the give away T.V. :) You are great for doing this!!
Sincerely,
Alicia
I would enjoy having this... I'm a mother of three, working two jobs, so anything to cut down on yard work, would be absolutely fantabulous!

Hey Kevin & Layla,
I really need the leaf blower for a beautiful cape cod that sits on 1/2 an acre with so much landscaping-its hard for a single girl to keep up with!!!
Layla I love all of your design ideas.

I would LOVE to win the leaf blower because my husband works so hard on the outside of our house, and it would make his life SO MUCH easier!

this is one prize that neither sucks nor blows
I would love love love to win that leaf blower! With 16 trees in the yard...a rake gets old quick!
Thanks!!!
Wow! I could really use a new leaf blower. The one I have no longer works and it would be great to be able to blow off the driveway. Thanks for the chance!

I was just looking outside and it is raining leaves, it's a beautiful sight but I could really se the leaf blower, thanks for the chance.
I would like to win this prize because it looks very nice!
I'd love to win this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. I've just informed him that we are going to get to work doing some major landscaping in the next few weeks, so this will really come in handy!
I have no sob story... just too many leaves and too little time.
I'm a pretty cool dude, so I'm sure my neighbors would derive some friends with leaf blowing benefits as well :-). Plus as a truly added Give & Get benefit of winning your killer leaf blower, I will produce a humorus, but grateful You Tube clip and give you props.
Finally, please let me win the leaf blower... and thank you for your consideration!
ID LOVE TO WIN THIS BECAUSE THESE LOOK SO COOL AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE BUT ONE THING I DO HAVE IS LEAVES TONS OF THEM ALL OVER MY YARD ;)
Hi Kevin and Layla! Thanks for the giveaway through True Value!
I would like to win because I just moved my brother and my sister-in-law into their new first home and this would be a wonderful housewarming gift!
Vanessa :)
I'd like to win it because the leaves are piling up in my backyard
My gadget loving kids don't want to rake using old fashion "manual" rakes, they really would use a powered rake. And we have lots of leaves.
I need a leaf blower! Seriously, there is simply no way to rake up the volumes of leaves that have made their descent to my yard. What a great give a way, thanks for doing this! You guys are awesome!!
Jenny
We would LOVE to win this leaf blower b/c we have recently gutted a home and although the inside is gorgeous, the outside still needs work. The leaf blower would make a midwest fall much easier.
I would like to win the leaf blower for my husband! So he can blow the leafs off the brand new deck he and my dad just built me!
Thanks! -Laurel
I would like to win this blower for my husband, so he can blow the leafs off of the new deck he and my dad built me !Thanks -Laurel
I'd love to win a leaf blower. As crazy as it sounds, I've always wanted one. It sure would cut down the time spent on yard work every fall.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to win the blower because then I could maybe convince my husband to do inside rather than outside the house.
I would love to win the leaf blower as time is of the essence. With a three year old and working full time, yard work is not a priority. I could blow off all the oak leaves in now time. In NE FL, we have loves of "live oaks". Thanks!

Ooh. I live in AZ so not a lot leaves around here. My mother on the other hand has huge trees in her yard plus the tree that is by the street that seems to dump all its foliage on her yard :). the sheep are hopping over to her side of the yard to eat the leaves but if she had a blower she could just blow those leaves right over. Happy mom and happy sheep!
I (actually, my hubby) would love to win this. Less time doing yard work means more time with me and our little guy... making s'mores, building blocks, snuggling, playing hide and seek, all are much more fun ways to spend time than raking leaves. :)
