sunsets and giveaway

so, i don't usually edit my photos too much, but today i did 
and the result is kind of fun!
perfect photo for my two girls:
emery loves pink, 
and selah loves purple!
(might have to print this for their room)

this one was taken the following night at southampton beach.  
amazing!

now, onto other news...
i have been blogging for one year now.
woot, woot!

some of you have been joining me since the beginning,
some have just started checking in recently.
i want to thank you all for taking the time to stop by.
your clicks and comments are so greatly appreciated!
blogging has been such a joyful journey for me.
sharing my photos and reflecting on life as the days go by,
it's good for my soul!

so in honour of my first year,
i thought it might be fun to have a lil giveaway!
i wanted to come up with something that could work for any reader 
from ontario to australia...

so here it is:

{one custom photo card design}

i think this is perfect with christmas right around the corner...
but it could also be a birthday photo or birth announcement design.

  • please join this site with gfc (google friend connect on the right) or follow my page on facebook (and if you already do follow then you're good to)

one winner will be chosen randomly next monday,
so that leaves lots of time to spread the word.

if you share this giveaway with friends via facebook or twitter (etc),
you can have one more entry
(leave a second comment to tell me how you shared it)

i hope you'll join the fun!
can't wait to design something special
