I've been a bit of a busybody this week, but feel that I have nothing to show for it! So far, it's been a lot of behind the scenes work and I've been struggling to find things to share. And sometimes when I have nothing to share, it can feel like I'm not accomplishing anything... anyone else have those same feelings??

But despite that, I did find one little tidbit to share with you today. Although you may have seen this painting on my home page, my instagram and this previous blog post, I don't think I ever announced it's entrance into my etsy shop in this space! So here's the official announcement: You can now find this painting for sale in my shop! I'm selling the prints in the usual 8x10 inch size, but also offering a smaller 5x7 inch print. Perfect for that gallery wall you've been meaning to put up ;). 

But wait! There's more. If you really love this piece but are just not feeling like the funds are there to purchase a print right now, you could win this 5x7 inch print for FREE! I will be taking part in a loop giveaway on instagram starting at 12pm PDT. If you enter, you'll have the chance to win this print and 15 other amazing prizes from makers around the world! Head on over to my instagram profile and follow the instructions on the contest post to enter. Good luck!

Guys. I've written 250 posts on this blog. Can you believe it?? I've come a long way since my first post in 2009 (no camera, no direction, no idea...) and I still have a long way to go (I hope!). I've enjoyed every minute of this fantastic journey in blog world. I've learned so much along the way. This blog has seen many changes but it's fun to look back at where it's been. I wish I had a picture of what the very first layout was! SO much different than today. 

Anyway. To celebrate this milestone, I've decided to have a giveaway! This print represents the beginnings of my watercolour and illustration journey so it's quite special to me. It may not be perfect, but there's something quite whimsical and fun about it. So here are the dets (read: details). Just follow the instructions under each one of the tabs on the Rafflecopter for 9 ways to enter! And make sure to leave any information it asks so I know your entry counts. Good luck!
