Have any of you ever played a gift snatch at Christmas time before?
Well, that's how we are going to do this selection process for the giveaway!
I know, I'm such a pain, but it'll be fun - trust me.

THE RULES

1. The winners, in the order their name appears, will select one magnet (from the photo above) that they would like to have.
2. The next person in line who gets to chose can pick ANY magnet they wish, even if it was one previously chosen by another winner.
3. If your magnet gets taken by another winner, you will get to choose again; you may select a magnet that has already been chosen, although you may not pick the one that was just taken from you.
4. If a magnet gets taken 2x's it's FROZEN, and can not be picked again.
5. The process will continue until everyone has a magnet!

*Don't be afraid to take the one you want, it's all in good fun!!

So, what in the world do you have to do to get your hands on one of these awesome little 3" x 3" TtV print refrigerator magnets?
Well, this part of the giveaway is easy peasy.....

Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, if I were to open an online store, which photos would you like to see in said store?!


By looking through my blogs, and/or my flickr account, pick three photos that are your favorites.
Once you've picked your favorites, whether they are old or new, leave a comment on this blog post with the names of the three photos or the posts where you found them (in the event I didn't name them).


For anyone who participates in this portion of the giveaway, you will receive an extra entry for the BIG giveaway which will take place starting Tuesday!!

I can't wait to hear which photos stand out to you, if you are so inclined to tell me why, please feel free to do so......
HAPPY HUNTING!!!





*The mini-giveaway commences as of right now, and will go on until Sunday at midnight.

Happy Birthday WW!

Today marks one year that I have had my own little corner in the blog-universe.
I could very well start this off with the 'little did I know', but I won't.....I'll spare you.
But I will say that, so far this has been one extraordinary adventure.
Looking back, I can see the change, and I can hear the change.....
and the exact moments of my progression are carefully preserved to revisit any time I am feeling nostalgic.

As people and/or artists we are constantly evolving,
and it's so exciting to see how much our ideas and styles change with time and experience.
I have gained a much greater perspective and appreciation for who I am, what I am capable of, and what I have the potential to become as a person, and a creative individual.
Coming to terms with all of the changes and expectations aren't always easy, but are required.

Along the way I have come across many people who have inspired and encouraged me to do what I love, and if it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't be doing this now. But I am, and for that, I am eternally grateful.


Create the Journey. Capture Adventure. Get Going!
