Thanksgiving Giveaway!
In honor of Thanksgiving, I’d like to say THANK YOU to all who read my blog and leave sweet comments. When I started blogging back in 2009, I vowed to only blog because I loved it. Not because of sponsors, money, statistics, or self-promotion. I feel proud to say that I’ve kept that promise to myself. To me, blogging never feels like a chore or an obligation. As a big, fat THANK YOU…I’m giving away two of my prints!
My “Too Legit” and “For Any Fate” are sold in my shop for $25 each. You should probably enter the giveaway so that you can snag one for free. To enter:
Comment below with your favorite quote (could be from a song, poem, quote from someone special, etc) and then indicate which print you would like to win!
You have until Sunday, November 27th at midnight EST to enter! On Monday, November 28th, I’ll pick two winners via random.org and announce them here on my blog! Share with all and have a happy Tuesday.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” -John Lennon
I love all of your work, but would be especially happy if I won the ‘for any fate’ print.
Thanks for the continued inspiration and chance to win! Happy Holidays!

I’m suspecting it’s for US residents but here’s one of my favorites quotes from Chilean Author Pablo Neruda:
“El amor nace del recuerdo,
vive de la inteligencia
y muere por olvido.”Or what’d be the same in English:
“Love comes from memory,
lives from intelligence
and dies due to forgetfulness.”I LOVE the dark one, “Too Legit”. :-)
