the name drawn from the hat for the giveaway was avonelle, and her word was relief.
here is my pairing. clearly i was in a very literal mood.
{avonelle, i'll get your address from you and send you the set as soon as it is made. i hope you enjoy them!}
this was a fun giveaway for me - you people are seriously creative. i'll have to do it again. thanks so much for playing!










CONGRATS to Avonelle (what a pretty name)!! Your RELIEF series here is so very calming and refreshing, Elizabeth... I'd like to take that coffee, book and be sitting in that chair eyes resting on the wave...*sigh*... Thanks for the afternoon pick-me-up! ;o) Happy Day ((HUGS))

My thoughts too, Tracy! Avonelle is a pretty name, and the Relief photo collection is so perfect... I'd love this to be my morning. Or afternoon, or evening... sigh...

Lovely set, and the way Tracy put it made me realise that you can make it tell a story. Sweet! (I hadn't spotted it at first glane, because my mind was busy going all "ah, memories from a day at Fuel Café...") :)

interesting - I guess I missed this. As you know, I also adore pairing words and images - not sure why, but it is just so much fun! Cool shots and I think I recognize that chair??
