Valentine Print Giveaway

This weekend we celebrated this "sweet" gal's birthday. She's my pride and joy and my first born angel. Amber has a knack for lighting up a room with her smile and her enthusiasm. She was pretty surprised when she got a gift from our two dogs, Annie and Jersey, and our cat, Bailey. They are very thoughtful animals and thought she might like some gluten free crackers to snack on. Happy birthday Amber!
Amber loves tradition and every year she has chocolate pie instead of cake for her birthday. She also likes pot roast for dinner on her special day.


I should have had this giveaway a few posts back when I hit my 300th post, but instead I'm doing a Valentine Giveaway. Leave a comment on this post by Monday at 6pm to be entered to pick a Valentine print of your choice from my Etsy store. You can view my Valentine prints at my store by clicking here. Come back to this post and leave a comment telling which Valentine cupcake print you would choose if you win. I will need to be able to contact the winner so make sure to leave a link or an email address.

  1. Happy Birthday to your sweet daughter, she does have specific tastes for her birthday celebrations doesn't she. I'd love to be entered into your Valentine Giveaway, and I love them all. But the Chocolate Cupcake, well that's just me, I'd have chocolate instead of anything.

    If you haven't yet entered, please read my One World One Heart posting and enter your name there to win one of my giveaways. And if you have already entered, good luck!

  8. You really captured Amber's enthusiasm with that photo...she's got a great smile!

    I am so excited to be in a giveaway for one of your prints! I love your work and featured it in my folk art post back in the fall. It took me a long time to choose the print I used for that post but it took about a second to pick this lovely Love cupcake:

  16. I would choose the "Be Mine Valentine" print. What I love about it is that it so gently combines the simplicity of a cupcake with just enough touch of elegance in the encasement of glass.

    It simply says, "Be Mine" and sealing it in the glass implies "forever".

    My husband and I will celebrate 20 years of marriage this year and this print makes me think of how I want our marriage to be simple, yet still have just enough of those elegant touches that will make it last forever.

    Thank you for sharing your talent of blending simplicity with elegance with all of us!

  32. Happy Birthday, Amber! We have gluten-free birthday's at our house too! I hope your day was awesome!

    I looked through all the prints and had such a hard time choosing a favorite. Finally, I decided upon the tea room "Simple Pleasures" picture because I love afternoon tea and everything about it.

    Have a blessed day!
