Monday Magic. (a giveaway + a guest post = awesome)

Well, whadaya know.  It’s Monday again.

One thing I love about blogging is that it forces me to keep a journal, of sorts.  No, I don’t dish my deepest secrets on this here blog (ooh, that makes me sound so interesting… I’m really not), but I do write a little bit about the happenings of my hours and days and weeks, and it’s fun to look back at old posts now and then.

Blogging also makes me realize just how fast time is whizzing by.  Like, whoa.  It was JUST Monday of LAST week. Where did seven days go?

Anyway. I’ll stop being all serious.  Sheesh. Let’s get to the fun stuff. Because giveaways make Mondays FUNNER! :D

I am so, so, so excited about today’s giveaway, because it comes from a really sweet, beautiful, and talented friend of mine: Sarah from Fairy Tales are True.  If you don’t know her, then go GET to know her.  (After you enter the giveaway of course.)  She has an amazing tale of survival (literally), and she is a world traveler with amazing photography to show for it. 

Here are some of her actual prints that I have in my own home!  Every time I look at them I smile…

   

Pretty darn fabulous, eh?

Here are a few more examples from her Etsy shop… 

   

So you wanna win one? Of course you do.

(the winner will get to choose any print from the shop! yippee!)
