happy anniversary…to me!!
last year around this time, i was waiting with bated breath for my website to be finished so that i could share it with all of you. i was so happy with how it turned out (which has a little to do with me and A LOT to do with my friends joe malleck: web designer extraordinaire and beth mans: illustrator to the stars…or just to me :).
and what an amazing year it has been! my business has grown by leaps and bounds, i’ve met tons of amazing people and made new friends that i wouldn’t have otherwise and i’ve had so much fun creating.
so because you have spent the last year gifting me, it’s time for me to return the favor. i asked all of my 2011 clients to submit a picture that they loved. one that they wanted to grace the walls of their home. and now you get to choose who will win a 16X20 canvas from me.
all you have to do is:
1. go to facebook. like my page.
2. comment here after you’ve done so and vote on the picture that’s your favorite.
the person with the most votes….wins!!
now to make it a little more fun for all of you voters, i’ve called some of my amazingly talented, local vendor/creator friends and asked them to contribute a prize for YOU!! i will be doing three separate draws for gift baskets and a piece of refinished vintage furniture, so you have lots of opportunity to win.
in order to win the baskets, i’m going to ask you to visit each of the vendors’ facebook pages and like them. this is a must for you to win these amazing goodies.
let me tell you more about them (and follow the links to their pages)…
the orange circle (facebook): Bethany makes incredibly fun magnets and necklaces. Everytime I see her at a fair, I can’t help but buy something. She is also almost always smiling. It’s true. Check out her etsy shop!
the pink spatula (facebook): Tina is a culinary wizard. Her blog has amazing tips and information on cooking classes!
vintage home (facebook): Colleen is amazing – she has a great eye for design and knows how to make something beautiful out of things other people get rid of.
champion jack’s emporium (facebook): This is such a sweet store and a great addition to Abbotsford’s downtown core. If you haven’t been in to check out their huge collection of vintage clothing, you should go today! And if you’re not in abbotsford, find them on etsy.
birch + bird vintage home interiors (facebook) Rachel and Lily are the organizers of the Fieldstone Vintage Market. I’ve gotten to know them over the past year and they not only have great taste, but they are lovely people! Check out their blog…they have me imagining my dream home several times a week.
opechee handmade jewelry (facebook): Monica sells amazing upcycled jewelry. I recently bought an owl necklace from her and I get so many comments every time I wear it! She also sells on-line through etsy.
dolcetto designs (facebook): Shari makes beautiful custom cards! From birth announcements to wedding thank-yous…she’s the on you should call.
