with a giveaway.
:)
i met pam garrison at silver bella....way back when....when was that? 2009?
she taught one of the workshops and i introduced myself.
i think that was it.
well i have clicked in on her blog over the years....always checking what she is making because she is a beautiful artist that is always inspiring.
then i noticed a picture going around pinterest.
and it linked over to her blog as a page in her art journal.
i asked her if she sold it in her shop and if she didn't she should because everyone loves it on pinterest
that means they would love to buy it.... me included!
look what just showed up in my mailbox!!
she said "thanks for the encouragement! i made them into prints!"
and she sent me an extra to giveaway to ONE OF YOU!
leave a comment to win this print of You Are Loved.
it's so pretty.
i love the detail...i love to draw and this is just my style.
i really want to drop everything right now and start drawing!
and what else did she send me???
a little sister sledge.... i got all my sisters with me...yeahhhh....get up everybody and SING!
(i used to listen to that over and over...on a tape)
i love the colors in this one.
and a big print of Love Lives Here.
aren't they all so pretty?!
they are printed on heavy paper that looks like she watercolored it just for you.
go see her shop and find one just for you.
and don't forget to leave a comment to win an 11x14 print of "You Are Loved" for YOU.
thank you PAM!
i can't wait to hang them up!
Love. Love. Love.

Thank you soooo much for that link! 'We are Family' is a big deal in our family. We play it at every wedding/party. We all get in a circle and someone gets in the middle and dances. It's a blast.
(and quite bittersweet when we played it at the fundraiser for my cousin battling cancer)
My mom and her 2 sisters(Triplets!)are turning 50 in March.That print is the PERFECT gift for them. Love it!
