Today I have something awesome for you…a contest AND a giveaway. Two chances to win $400 worth of RYOBI power tools just in time for Fathers Day. I don’t know about you, but I want to make sure my husband and father have all the tools they need to build stuff for me.

The premise of the contest is this –  all of us are guilty of repinning things on Pinterest without checking that the pin actually leads to the correct source. And you know how annoying it is when you see an awesome pin, click it…and it takes you no where. No tutorial, no extra pics, nothing. It’s a bummer. So there are likely pins on your boards that are from your favorite bloggers, and you don’t even know it.

That’s where the contest comes in:

Here’s the line-up…

And below are projects from each blogger (including myself) that you’ve likely seen viral all over Pinterest.

Before we get to the rules, I just want to take a second to thank RYOBI for providing the prize for this giveaway. Its a great prize! Adam proofread this post, as usual, and his comment…”umm, I want that. Am I allowed to enter?”

Sorry baby, I have a much less awesome Father’s Day gift in store for you.

$400 RYOBI Giftcard goes to our randomly selected winner, and $400 RYOBI Giftcard goes to the first person to correctly match up all 16 bloggers with the correct projects!

This is how you play…

When you click on the Contest Form (at the bottom of this post), it will direct you to a page that will show you an image of the project, and a drop-down menu of bloggers. You just go down the line and select the blogger you think created that project. Some projects you probably know already, but some you may need to snoop around blog-land to find.

We call this blog-hopping, and it’s highly encouraged in the blogging world.

Here’s the links to the home page of each blog (in no particular order). Now get busy!
