In honor of flowers blooming cliffside on warm spring days and gorgeous sunsets that make my heart smile, I am excited to announce my very first Photography Giveaway!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNER: I will announce the winner of my Spring Giveway during a random video drawing that I will post on my blog on May 26th. And I promise not to leave you in suspense like American Idol by taking awkward pauses or random commercial breaks, HA, although you know it would be quite funny if I did! Hmmmmmm…….. 🙂

WHY AM I DOING THIS? Some may wonder why I’m already giving stuff away when this photography adventure of mine has just begun, well the bottom line is … capturing special moments in time or the essence of someone’s being simply makes me happy. I think everyone deserves to have a nice photograph taken of them at least every once in a while, and if the simple snap of my camera can give someone a memory that last a lifetime … then damn it, I’m gonna do it!

And for my dear husband who incessantly complains that I always wanna give stuff away, or in his exact words …”Why are you always tryin to give up the farm?!?!” My response is .. Baby my love affair with giving is just another unique part of me to embrace — much like my abnormally cold feet, lol. Plus who cares about “the farm” we’re not the farm-type anyways 😉 *love you*

So there you have it, all the deets on my Spring Giveaway! I have no clue if anyone will even enter this contest or read this post for that matter, but I truly hope I get the opportunity to give this special gift to someone!!! *fingers crossed while I’m doin the moonwalk*
