  • Did you create a new patio space?

  • Did you put up new curtains and rods?

  • Like homeowner Joyce above, did you add a putting green to your backyard?

Whatever it is, snap a pic of yourself with your DIY project and submit your photo with a short caption via email to contest@tchabitat.org or use the form below for a chance to win a $300 VISA gift card, $200 VISA gift card, or $100 VISA gift card!
