Linen Closet Makeover- you so deserve it!

I've been wanting to get some new towels... was losing that loving feelin' with my current set.  When my husband said something to me about "getting new towels" I was ALL over it!  Just needed to hear the word "GO". 

I purchased fluffy white towels...and plenty of them.  Later when I came across this contest I ran home to see if my towels were indeed the micro cotton brand- BINGO.  So sharing this contest with you was an easy decision.  Why should I be the only girl on the block wrapping myself in these luxurious and eco-friendly towels?!

Fifty (50) lucky people will win a luxurious linen closet makeover worth $250 each, courtesy of MicroCotton. All you have to do is log on to www.microcotton.com & tell them in 100 words or less why you deserve to win. (ok... that's sooo easy and will only take you about 2 minutes to do!)

Just imagine yourself with a closet filled with brand new, soft, fluffy white towels. So throw out those ratty, faded, mismatched towels from your mama or from the first wedding registry & click to snag some FREE eco-friendly towels from MicroCotton!

I'll even help get your creative mind working... just begin your 100 words with:
"My towels are... (insert funny or vivid description here) .

Now get to it... because I want my readers to win all 50 makeovers!
