name your giveaway

next month, i am having a (virtual) party for my business, so i thought i'd create a few new sets of cards for my etsy shop at the same time. whee!

on that note, if you haven't figured it out by now, i love to pair things. often words and words (i am partial to using song lyrics as email subjects). more often, words and photos (like quotes and photos).

so, i'm hosting a card giveaway! since i'm planning on making cards anyway, i thought i'd let you make your own giveaway set. of sorts.

your entry into the giveaway will be a name (or a theme) for your card set.

i'll draw a name on wednesday evening, pair photos with the name to create a set of cards, and send the winner a set once the cards are made.

sound like fun? i hope so! happy naming!

Ooooh, how fun! And what a wonderful idea to have a virtual birthday party for your business! I think I need to reappropriate that idea for myself (so much better than STEALING, you know).

My words... Be Still.

Love you! Lori

[Rose]

What a wonderful idea! And such a lovely gift to give!
I love virtual business birthdays. :)

For a theme, I think i'd have to go with Quietude, which for me, is actually all about being still and listening and being in the moment. I just think quietude sounds prettier than trying to amalgamate all those qualities.

What a fun idea, Elizabeth! BLISS... that's my theme. One of my fave words and feelings. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))

[Kylie]

I love this idea! Yay for audience participation. My word, because I'm so excited for fall, is cozy.

Oh, I have a question, too. Have you ever done a post about how you take photos like these ones (the ones that look really watercolor-ey)? If you have, I'll have to find it. If you haven't, I'd love to hear about your process, if you'd be inclined.

What I see, when I'm looking at your pix, is: Peace.

In fact: "Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And Something you give away.”
Robert Fulghum

That would be you.

[Valerie]

i love your dreamy images. images and words, words and images, i agree that they are a natural fit.

let's see...

i am currently in love with the phrase
soften and stay.

[Josiane]

The pictures in this post are really lovely!

The word that keeps popping up as I'm trying to think of a theme suggestion is *movement*. Quite possibly because I have all sorts of things having to do with movement on my mind these days...

[Avonelle Lovhaug]

What an awesome idea!

My word is: relief

Mainly because I today I could use some.

[Julie H.]

Cool Breeze.
I love the fall and can't wait for the cool breeze and colorful falling leaves.

[Meredith]

Breathing Sky.

What a creative giveaway idea, Elizabeth! And it's perfect for you, with how your blog posts are structured around an intuitive pairing of image and words.

[Jessica]

So cool. I love your cards. And I love giveaways. So what's better than a giveaway involving your cards? Nothing. And, hmmm, my theme . . . well, let's see . . .

Whimsy.

[jan]

I am taking the challenge-

Ebb and Flow.

(sounds like and old couple doesn't it? Eb and Flo.)

[amy]

i have a run on of ideas... thrown in what resonates

betwixed and between

a wink and a smile

lost and found

beauty and the beast

lost things found

clearly blurred

beyond illusion or maya which means illusion

faery magic or faery kisses

everything illuminated

[Holly]

Mine is a theme I've based paintings on in the past, one that fascinates me...

"Time's Treasures"

I love to find things that the world has forgotten... things decaying, beauty growing out of a fallen log, gorgeous stones lodged in old forgotten pilings, etc.

What fun!

[michelle marlahan]

yay! photos, word, giveaway!!! all the best things.

my word is participation.

xo

[brooke]

Fun!

My choice would be...

"All that fresh air"

[kolleen]

soooo fun! what a GREAT idea!!

hmmmm.....i would say mine would have to be

"Trust your Path" because i always seem to be reminding myself of that when i question, question and question some more!!!

love to you and hope i made it in time to enter!

[liz elayne lamoreux]

this idea really is such fun...

a phrase that has come to me in the quiet twice in the past 24 hours is: sit in wonder

(thank you for you...)

[kath]

I hope I'm not too late to play,

My phrase is:

"dog days"
