Important: Please read this entire post! There are some changes to how you subscribe to this blog. Plus, there are some fabulous giveaways at the end. So, stay with me on this one.
The Good News:
A lot has happened over the last few weeks! I hit 150,000 page views per month last week.
This means that I’m empowering more people than ever before, and this thrills me because that has been the goal for my blog from the beginning. I’m not going to lie, sometimes it is hard to look at those figures and not get a little pumped. But, then I remember why I’m spending hours on tutorials and taking photos and I realize that y’all are really reading and learning. And this has me…
Did you know that originally I wanted to hold some small workshops in my garage to help women learn how to use power tools? How may women do you think I could have reached in a year? Maybe 100? And yet — thanks to the encouragement from my husband, friends, and all of you — I’m now reaching many, many more than a few hundred!
Can I tell you a little something without it sounding like I’m bragging? I was given the opportunity to compete for a spot on a reality craft show. But, when I stepped back to think about it, I realized that it really didn’t fit with who Pretty Handy Girl is. She’s not in this journey for fame and fortune. She’s not trying to strike it rich. She’s just here to say “Hey, I believe in you! I know you can do this too. Let me show you how to complete your own DIY project.” That realization helped me turn down the opportunity. And, now that you know this, I am counting on every one of you to make sure that I maintain that goal.
The Bad News:
Right before I broke my blog, I was dangerously close to reaching 5,000 subscribers to this blog. Like only 85 people shy of 5K…
…but then Feedburner delivered a smack down and reduced my followers by a over 1,500 handy peeps! (If you are one of the unlucky people that got the axe and don’t receive emails or feeds from Pretty Handy Girl please let me know and I’ll make sure you are added back.) This is upsetting to me to think that just one subscriber isn’t getting the tutorials that they thought they were signing up for, let alone over 1,500.
AND, I have some more bad news. In March, anyone who has subscribed to follow my blog in Google Friend Connect will also get the axe.
Any blogs that you follow that are NOT hosted by Blogger will sadly no longer appear in your reader. I actually took the above widget off my sidebar so no one else will join only to be disappointed on March 1st when they can’t receive their updates.
The Good News:
After an hour conversation with my new tech guy, I decided that the time had come to step up to a more reliable service for delivering my posts to you. I have signed up with MailChimp to improve my RSS feed delivery. Unfortunately, that means that I have a new monthly fee, but so be it. You are so worth it!
All you have to do to insure that you don’t miss a single post, is to follow this very simple tutorial. It is one of the most important tutorials I’ve written to date, so just know that I took a lot of time getting this right. 
Are you ready?
How to receive the latest tutorials from Pretty Handy Girl in your in box
Materials:
- Pointer finger
- Mouse (or scroll pad, button, whatever)
- Enter key (or Return if you are an Apple user)
Step 1: Use your mouse to position your cursor in the open field box below. Click inside the box.
Step 2. Use your pointer finger to type in your email address.
Step 3. Move your cursor over the “Subscribe button” and click on the button.
Step 4. Sit back and wait for the tutorials to arrive to you every time a new one is posted! That’s it!
(A confirmation email should arrive in your inbox and ask you to verify that you want to receive my posts.)
Note: If you received this post in your email, then you don’t need to re-subscribe. I was able to import my subscriber list when I signed up with MailChimp.

Do I have to pick one or two of these prizes to get excited about?! (because that would be hard…) My cheapo safety glasses are not comfortable after a day in the garage, so loving those. Also need my own locking pliers to get the router bits changed. But all the prizes are great!
I just love you! You are speaking my language when you describe your interest in providing information for DIYer’s. Though money is pretty cool, you’re not driven by it in your blog.

Oops…just a follow up. Now that I’m reading the other comments, I see that I’m not the only one interested in the stencils. But as Kristen at Pink Toes asks, “Do we only have to pick one?” I certainly lean to the stencils, but don’t want the Mirror Mate Frame to feel left out!
I would LOOOOOVE to have that wall/ceiling stencil.

Congratulations! I just subscribed. Previously I just had your page bookmarked; and checked out your blogs once a week or so. I’m new at blogging; and still struggling for things to say and even a specific “purpos”…
I would definitely love to try adventures in stenciling… I think your blog is fantastic, it is so helpful and inspiring. Thanks!
Congrats to you, you really deserve to feel proud of your accomplishments. You are so positive and encouraging when you post your tutorials! I admire your goal to help other women to become secure and tackle projects. I hope your dad appreciates and knows how much his wonderful teaching is being payed forward. This is my year to tackle my projects and you have a blog that I will check back to for hand holding and encouragement.
Oh, I would love to win the stenciling prize, though I can ALWAYS use help getting organized. Thanks and bravo to you.

I practically jumped for joy when I saw the Mirror Mate giveaway – I need a Mirror Mate frame for my kids bathroom so badly!!
All the prizes are great but I have to say my daughter would LOVE the sharpie collection.
Hello! I stumbled upon your blog when I was searching for shoe bench ideas. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your shoe bench! Browsing your website I have been inspired to recreate your bench. I can’t wait to start. I love crafts and creativity but I lack the imagination. I have an old farm house and the possiblities are endless. However Im lacking in my mind some days. I can’t wait til I can finally remodel my home. Oh gonna be so much fun. So I have signed up my email so I can stay connected. I have told my friend who’s very thrifty about your blog and I cant wait for more!! And the drawing…awesome!! But I never win LOL I look forward to more and have already book marked your website so I dont loose it! Thank you!!!
OH and Facebook. Yep sharing you there so my other friends can enjoy your blog too!!
Also all the prizes are wonderful, but it’s a toss up between the sharpies (my granddaughters would love you) and the dye. So much could be done with both. Thanks again for your blog.
I am so excited about all of the prizes! Thank you and congrats! If you twisted my arm, I think it’s the mirror matte I am most stoked for.
I also subscribe!
I subscribe by email…and I was one of the lucky ones that didn’t get the axe! Yay!

I posted about your blog on my FB page, but have shared MANY of your posts and projects with friends.
There isn’t a single prize in the bunch that I couldn’t use, but the Mirror Mate Frame gift certificate would be really useful. You’ve got a great group of sponsors. We’re obviously not the only ones who recognize your talent. PS: So glad you didn’t go with the reality show. They’re a bunch of hot air, as far I’m concerned, which you aren’t.

9 days ago, I pinned your Painting Like a Pro series on Pinterest. Great stuff! 1 repin thus far.
Forgot the link! http://pinterest.com/pin/68257750572074180/
I’m stoked about the ladies’ work gloves (assuming they’re big enough for my oversized paws) and even more so about the painter’s tape. My fiance and I are preparing to paint a big chunk of the house we just bought and that tape would definitely come in handy!
Sorry, but on an unrelated note, what font did you use for the “Yes!” exclamation in your post? It’s very pretty and I’d love to buy or download it myself for a project.
Congrats on the big milestone! Love your blog! I’m already a follower, but I’ve subscribed now by email!
All those goodies are drool-worthy, but I really dig those safety glasses!! Thanks for the giveaway chance!

Congratulations! I have been enjoying your blog for a while know.
As for your prizes I would be excited to win anything but I really like the pliers or the MirrorMate. I am redoing my bathroom and a frame for the mirror would be fabulous. If not I suppose I’ll just have to make myself something.
Congratulations again. That is very exciting about all your followers.

Wow hmmm..as for the prize I’m excited about?? Does ALL count? I would really love the stencil gc though! My dh and I are renovating a 200 year old farm house and I have the need for stencils for the artistic touches I’m adding. That sure would come in handy!

I am dying for the gift certificate for Cutting Edge!
I’m really excited about the sharpies (ooohhh…Sharpies), the Stencil (I so have a few projects that need to get done already) and the Dyes.

I pinned all of your tool tutorials so I can find them easily in one place. Two thumbs up for the tutorials. Thank you.
I am excited about the RIT dye and the sharpies. Winning either of them would make my day.. no my month.
I followed your tutorial and made painted insulated cups as christmas gifts for my bible study group. For some I used stencils I made on cricut. The others, I drew freehand. Everyone loved them. Thanks for inspiring.

Or man, those stencils or mirror frame certificate would come in so handy in the renovations I am helping my mother with. And I could come up with so many uses for those RIT dyes and pliers. Congrats on the 150K — I cannot even imagine that many people at once.

All of them are really awesome! I think the mirror frame got me the most excited.
I just inherited a mostly round mirror dated August 1949 on it and I am hoping to see what I might be able to frame it with. If that does not work, the frame for the horrible 1983 crappy mirror in the bathroom would be WONDERFUL!
holy moly this is a HUGE give-away!!!!!! I now subscribe through e-mail
SO bummed about this GFC business 
I basically stalk you & follow you on FB, twitter AND Google+

Also..SHARPIES!! You can never have too many.
OMG, can’t wait for the giveaway! My husband and I plan on purchasing our first house together this year, woo hoo! That means lots of DIY opportunities. I’d be happy for any of the prizes, but if I had to choose, love the RIT dyes. I’d also be happy w/ work gloves (still using my husbands,ha), painters tape, whatever would help a gal out! LOVE PHG blog:)
