A Birthday Sale!!

My Birthday is coming up next week, so I wanted to celebrate in my Etsy store by offering a sale!

Starting today, I am offering a Buy 1 Get 2 Free Sale.  Buy One regular priced 8x8, 8x10 or 8x12 and get two FREE 5x5s and/or 5x7s (can mix and match sizes).  The sale lasts until the night of Aug 31st.

I have also been really busy making new calendars.  I have added 4 or 5 more since I posted last.  They all come in 5x7, 4x6 and 3.5x5:

Abstract Calendar

Sea Shell Calendar

Trees of Spring and Fall

Summer Fun

Calendars are IN!!

I have been working on my 2011 Calendars for my shop.  This year, I am going about them differently.  They are 5x7 or 3.5x5 loose leaf calendars.  So far,  have a Wine themed one, a Floral themed one and a Food themed one.  Plus, I have one that is "Design your own" where you can pick all 12 photos you would like for the calendar!  I am thinking about also doing a sea shell themed Calendar and a landscape themed one too.  I might even look into doing a more traditional wall calendar where there is space for each date to write in stuff.

Wine Theme

Food Theme

Flower Theme

Design Your Own 

This is just an example of the various photo you can use to design your own calendar, but customers can also purchase this exact calendar if they happen to like it!  :)

She Sells Sea Shells

She Sells Sea Shells

As much as I love living here in Colorado, I really miss living by the ocean.  In college, I lived in Norfolk, VA and in Virgina Beach.  I loved living so close to the beach and rivers.  I miss the sound of the crashing waves and the feel of the sand between my toes!  My ideal place to live would be somewhere that has mountains like we have here on Colorado (I love these mountains) and the ocean!

Over the weekend, I was out shopping and found these beautiful shells. I wish I could say I found them on the beach somewhere, but I found them in a store in a land locked state.  LOL

I took a few photos and want to try for a few more.  I love adding to my sea shell photo collection!  :)

Also, today is the last day to enter my 11x14 giveaway.  I will be posting the winner of that giveaway tomorrow!!  Good luck to all who have entered and thank you for taking the time to enter!!

A Not So Lazy Saturday!

Barbed

My husband and I took the kids out this morning on a nice bike ride around the neighborhood.  We took them past a farm that run along side our neighborhood and it has a barbed wire fence running along its property line.  I took the opportunity to see if I could get any artistic photographs out of the barbed wire fence!  It was a great opportunity to take photos of something other than flowers!

Lately, I have been wanting to get more photographs of anything other than flowers.  As much as I LOVE to photograph flowers, I really want to try my hand at something new such as landscape photography, abstract photography and urban photography.  Soon,  hope to head into Downtown Denver to photograph these vintage neon signs that run along Colfax.  I have heard this is a great Urban area to photograph!  I can't wait to see what I can get.  Hopefully something good!  :)  lol

I got a few other barbed wire photos to add to my shop and I will do that over the next few days. 

Plus, don't forget about my giveaway.  Its the post just under this one and it ends Monday night!!
