And the giveaway goes to...

"What you keep to yourself you lose, what you give away, you keep forever." ~unknown "To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving." ~Max Beerbohm "Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. .... But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something." ~Mother Teresa

First I'd like to say a big "Thank You" for all of your kind comments and words of encouragement. They were truly appreciated!

I'm happy to announce that the winner of this month's giveaway is Ann:

"I really like your banner etc. for your new store just go for it girl. I like your three work Thursday print (well I like most of them actually LOL) But, I guess my favorite would be, "Celebrate Everyday Life" live the cupcake on it. My second favorite and almost a tie is, "Bloom and grow". Keep us posted over on JS forum on your store progress. hugs ~Ann"

Ann...if you could email me your address I can get the print off to you this week.

I believe in giving (in giving back). It just makes me happy. That's why, when I started selling my cards and prints locally, I decided that I would donate a portion of all sales to a local cancer image center. I'm able to give a little bit here and a little bit there...and I'm going to continue doing this once I open my shop on etsy too (so wish me luck)!
