To start the new year off right, I am giving away an original painting by Michelle Armas. It's called Girl in Flowers, and you can read more about it right here. Leave a comment before next Sunday, January, 11th (at midnight) to be entered. Good luck!
** Update! Thanks so much for all the entries! Chrissy Raftery won (picked through Random.org) and an email has been sent her way.
This painting is so romantic!
One of the things I would love to accomplish in 2010 is to buy a house here in London, where we have been renting for years.
This painting would look wonderful in my dream house!

I came across this inspirational quote by Abram L Urban that reminds me of this painting.
“In my garden there is a place for sentiment.
My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams.
The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams as beautiful”.
Thank you for introducing me to this wonderfully talented artist.
Pretty, pretty!
