My First Giveaway!

****The Giveaway Has Ended****

It's been just over a month since I started my bathroom remodel and blog, and I am so thankful to all of you who have been along for the ride! I appreciate all your sweet comments and encouraging e-mails.  You have been awesome to me.

To show my gratitude, I'm hosting my first giveaway!  One lucky winner will receive a $30 gift certificate to whimsy studios, courtesy of my dear friend, artist and illustrator, Lori McDonough.  Lori's whimsical art is fun, upbeat and heart-warming.  (Just like her!)

These are a few of my favorites ...

For the coffee lover...


If only I had a daughter, this would be hanging in her room...


This one makes me a little happier about doing housework...



This serves as a good reminder to me when I realize I've spent more money on my dog's meds than I have on the bathroom remodel...



Perfect gift for a dear friend...


Unique Christmas decor...


For that special someone...


A sweet sign of Spring, which we could use about now...



Giveaway Details...

The prize: 

A $30 gift certificate to Lori's etsy shop.

To enter:

1. Pop on over to Lori's etsy shop here, and pick your favorite art print. 

2.  Leave me a comment here telling me which is your favorite of Lori's prints.

3. If you would like an additional entry, please tweet, blog or facebook about the giveaway, and leave me a comment letting me know that you have done so.  

(Please be sure to include your e-mail address in your comment if your blogger profile doesn't include an e-mail address.)


Giveaway is open until February 21st at 8:00pm.  I'll announce the winner on February 22nd.  Until then, I'll leave you with Lori's words of wisdom...



Thanks again for being so wonderful to me.  Good luck!!

    LOVE Lori AND her work! I have been wanting to add that cute laundry room print to my laundry room because it definitely would brighten it up! So either that one of the Perfect Love print framed! Love that one, too! I have the "always believe" print framed and in my living room. I love that one so much! :)
