There were over 800 entries ( WOW! ),
and I want to thank each and every person that
commented, followed, or posted about it...
but the time has come to pick a winner
of my
SPRING ROMANCE GIVEAWAY...
Up for grabs:
The Summer issue of Romantic Country magazine
with my Willow Nest photo feature
and
a personally autographed copy of
signed by Fifi O'Neill herself
so....
I did the random schmandom thing,
and the lucky winner is...
Denise of
Congrats, Denise!
Since I was such a geek and bought out entire newsstands,
I may be doing another magazine related giveaway
in the days ahead, so please check back.
In other news, I finally decided on a camera strap...
It's called the Sofia Olive, and although I purchased it
at a camera shop, you can browse their selection HERE.
I bought it because it looks like my Homestead couch!
Don't you think?
And guess what else?
Look who I get to meet next week?
The gorgeous and talented Suzanne of Privet and Holly!
She and her sweet mom will be making a swing through
Fredericksburg, Texas, so I hope to be able to show them all the sights.

ReplyDeleteOf course you would pick your camera strap to match your sofa. Who wouldn't? I've been thinking of making a cover for my strap, but I don't like the color of my sofa, so might have to base it on something else.
I've been wanting to find some cute clocks to make them into photo 'frames'.
