GIVE AWAY

I took this photo, this weekend. I went downtown and snapped some photos Sunday mid morning. It was peaceful and a great time for reflection. I haven't had an Art Date in a couple of months. We all need, to find
ways to inspire our creativity.  Art, books, movies, music, photo and nature usually do this for me.  I guess I could also include long walk, cycling and having fun with my family.  My give away involves some books, that have inspired me.  I have extras, I bought Squam Art book(Journal one) and then won one.  I was going through my stash and decided it was time to pass it on.  It is a gem, as is "Simply Abundance" a Daybook of Comfort n' Joy.  I also will include a few extra special touches~   Guys don't be shy, you can always pass it on to your wife, loved one, girlfriend, Mom, and, or  sister.   I hope the sun is shining where you are. It was 71 here yesterday and today's high, 37.  We are in for a roller coaster week, here in North Carolina. I figured this is a perfect time of year, to pass on some cheer.  Leave me a comment and I'll put your name in my hat. The drawing will be, March lst.   Good Luck!

Here are a few more pics, signs that spring is slowly starting to make it's presence known.

Great pics. The first one is awesome.
That first picture alone is an inspiration for a write. To look at it was so relaxing as though evrything in the world was fine.....unfortunately it is not.

Hi again I was referring in my comment of the wonderful flowers on your blog.

Nice photos! I was worried - at first I thought that was really someone's hand.
Great photos you have a great eye. Enjoy your warm weather. Still a bit cold here in the Midwest.

I keep meaning to go out and take some pictures, but I haven't yet. It's been ridiculously chilly for L.A. I know it's really not that cold compared to other places, but it just seems to be a chill in the house that doesn't go away.
I've even broken out my long johns--ridiculous.

Those seasonal changes can be a great teaser. Just when you think blue skies .... the temperature plummets and it rains. Won't be long now.

Awesome giveaway Ellie! Glad you had a little time to enjoy your surroundings. Hope the weather doesn't get too crazy. Here in Oregon today we had sunshine, then rain, then snow/rain mixed, sunshine again, rain...You never know what you're gonna get here. Happy Week to you!
