Artful Blogging Giveaway Winner and Exciting News!




Happy Monday!

I am truly under the gun this week,
as I have just completed a DREAM photo shoot,
which has been picked up by a dream publication
for an upcoming issue!

The catch is, I have four days in which to get 
the article written and completed, too!
Yep, this will be my baby from start to finish,
I'm both photographer AND writer,
and I'm freaking out ever so slightly...

 what if the words don't come?
What if it, ( pardon my French ) sucks ? )

I'm proud of the photos I shot,
but I soooooo want to do them justice with
an excellent accompanying story.

Wish me luck!
Send up a prayer!
Send some good juju my way.
Thank you!

Anyway...
the winner of my  
giveaway is...


Congrats, Vickie!
Send me your contact info and I'll get that copy right
out to you!










I hope you enjoy, Vickie!!

See you all again soon!
