A Year of Fun Giveaways
Win a Break From the Routine
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how I could show my appreciation for the people who support my business. Real estate has given me the chance to meet a lot of great clients, and I never want to take that for granted. I also care about supporting other local businesses and community organizations. That’s where the idea of doing monthly and quarterly giveaways came from. We started this fall, and it’s been a simple way to say thank you while staying connected with all of you in the Tri-Cities.
The monthly giveaways kicked off in October. Right now, we’re giving away Tri-City Americans hockey tickets through March. I’ve always liked seeing people out supporting local teams and enjoying what the area has to offer. It’s a fun break from routine, and people have been excited to take part. On top of that, we’re doing quarterly giveaways, which mix things up a bit each season. For the fourth quarter of this year, we’re giving away four ski tickets to Ski Bluewood, plus lunch. I wanted to do something that fits the season and gets people outdoors. For the first quarter of 2026, we’ll be doing a guided waterfowl hunt. I think it will be a memorable experience for whoever wins it.

I really enjoy what I do for a living, but the best part has always been the people. These giveaways are just a small way to stay in touch and keep things light. Life gets busy, but if I can give someone a reason to get outside, make a memory, or try something new, that feels like a win to me.

Custom Lighting Without the Cost Brighten Up With DIY Fixtures
Lighting is one of those things that can completely change the feel of a room. Add a lamp to a dark corner or a warmer bulb to a living room pendant, and you’ve suddenly made the space feel more open and inviting. And it’s not just the type of bulb that matters. Lighting fixtures also add to the look and feel of your space. In fact, they’re often what people notice first. If you’re looking for an update, you don’t need to spend a fortune or hire an electrician to make it happen. DIY upgrades can go a long way. How about making your own floor lamp? It might sound complicated, but it’s not. All the materials you need, a base, shade, socket, and wiring kit, are readily available and can be combined to make something unique. Personalizing the
base or lampshade to fit your style adds character. And remember, it doesn’t have to look brand-new. Half the charm is the rough edges. You can also create DIY table lamps. All kinds of items can be upcycled to make the base, including an old vase or jar. Just make sure it’s heavy enough to stay upright. You can wrap the base in fabric or give it a fresh coat of paint if it needs extra personality. Then, drill a hole for the cord, install the socket, and add the shade. If you want to go bigger, try a wall fixture or ceiling light. Mount a couple of sockets on a stained wood board and hang it like a sconce. Or take something unexpected, like a metal basket or ceramic bowl, and turn
it into a pendant light. It just takes a light canopy kit and a little patience.
None of this has to be perfect. That’s kind of the fun. You’re working with your hands and putting a bit of yourself into the space. And when you flip that switch and see what you built to brighten your room, there’s a satisfaction in knowing you made it happen.
