Fall Goodies Winner

We have a winner! Using the Random Number Generator, which has been generously provided by Violets Are Blue, our lucky commenter was Traci Thorson of Everyday Moments! Congratulations Traci, please send me an email with your mailing address and I will get your Fall items on their way to you!

Reading all those comments was such fun and I appreciate all the congratulatory wishes on my Blogiversary. I wanted to answer a couple questions from your comments. The apple picking day was in Oak Glen, California. They have lots of different orchards and a couple small shopping "villages" to spend your day enjoying the season, um...and the pie. Another question was where do I get all my ribbons? Lots of places, I have a slight addiction to ribbon and buy it everywhere. But, the ribbon used in the last post was from Costco. They have giant rolls (50yds) for around $5-7 bucks and a beautiful selection of holiday colors.

I wanted to share a little bit about my new Canvas Prints. My friend Tara, of Bella Pink also sells a line of Canvas Prints and it was her idea for me to sell them too. She admired my photos and told me that I should be selling them as artwork. She gave me the information on the printing of them, she referred me to the company that makes the gorgeous ceiling tin frames and has encouraged me to do more. The reason I'm sharing this information is because sweet Tara received an "anonymous" (which really isn't) email from a "concerned" person wanting her to know that I was copying her. Tara actually got a laugh from it because it was her idea! Together, we spend lots of time chatting about our businesses, future projects, plans for growth in our companies, advertising, and new product lines. Basically encouraging one another. Believe me, there are lots of women business owners out there that band together to help one another and encourage each other to succeed. Strong, smart, positive and creative women that make being in business a true blessing. So here's to all of you, may your business ventures be successful and the friendships you make be a blessing to you and those whom you call Friend!

I think it's great that there are so many mentors out there that are willing to share their knowledge, experience, guidance and inspiration to other women in business. Sounds like you have a great friend who is behind you all the way! Your prints are lovely :)

Here here! I'm so glad you've found such a good ally in your business and personal life. Don't you love those "anonymous" comments? Drop a bomb and hide! I do canvas prints of my paintings, LOTS of people do canvas prints. So glad to see yours.
