OUR 100TH POST GIVEAWAY!!!!

Alright everyone! It's time for a giveaway! This giveaway is celebrating our 100th post, well actually this is the 102nd post! Anyway, we have reached a milestone! For this giveaway, we are giving one of our readers a print of one of Dad's paintings!

Here's a little bit about how Dad got started with his artwork...Dad was first inspired to start painting by his grandmother, Nellie who lived in the countryside of Virginia, not too far from where we live now. She encouraged Dad as a young boy during the many summers when he visited her old farmhouse, and she was the one who inspired him to draw and paint. God has given Dad a zeal and love for His creation and he has always enjoyed painting nature. We are so excited to be able to share them with y'all!

To win one, all you have to do is leave a comment with the name of the print you would like to win! This is a good chance for all of you lurkers out there to reveal yourselves! :) Oh, and if you post about this giveaway on your blog, your name will be entered TWICE! Just add the link on your comment that shows us you have linked to us so we'll know. There will only be one winner who will get the print of choice, and we will draw the winner NEXT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14th at NOON!

All prints will be signed by Dad, and they are numbered. Here are the prints to chose from:

"Mid-day Rest" (this is a Giclee print)

8 1/2 x 11 1/2

"Moving In" (this is a Giclee print)

8 1/2x 10 1/2

"Chickadees and Holly" (not a Giclee print)
9x12



Have fun everyone!! We'll see you next Friday to reveal the winner! ~Alli
