amye123 giveaway {jan 24- jan 30th}

You can thank me in the comments for this giveaway ;-)

During my search for fun eclectic thingies for my family photo wall, I came
across amye123.
Me lovey lovey lovey.

I made a purchase and you know me, I had to ask if she would
like to host a giveaway.
And as you can figure by the post she said "HECK NO",
psych.
I kid, she was SO game.

Here is a little somthin' about Amy {we both conquer Amy's rock}.
{excerpts, read full interview here}

Hello! My name is Amy of amye123. I live in Mauldin, SC with my 5 year old son, Harper. I love light, bright colors, front porches, daisies, old barns, paint on my hands and time with Harper.

Describe a "typical day"~
I'm not sure I've ever had a typical day. I am an awful grouch in the mornings. Harper usually wakes me with the "Good Morning Song". Then I stumble to the coffee maker and wonder why it hates me. (Everything seems so much more difficult in the morning.) Next, I make breakfast and Harper and I shake off our sleepy cobwebs. Harp and I usually spend our mornings together so my work day doesn't officially begin until after lunch when he takes a nap. I then check my convos, paint, take pictures, package... whatever is called for that day.

What do you want life to look like in a year~
In a year... I hope I'm happy. I hope Harper is happy and healthy. I hope my family is strong. I really hope I can hire an assistant because packaging tape is my mortal enemy. I would like to be be brave enough to introduce some of my illustrations. An awesome barn for a studio wouldn't suck. Other than that, life is pretty good and I don't want to be greedy with my wishes.

My package arrived yesterday, and it took every ounce of my patience not to tear
into it the minute it landed on my front porch.

I just now finished opening it, oh it was Christmas in January.
I plan on posting more this week with pictures of my wall.
But Amy's comment above about packaging tape CRACKED me up, since
my box had about enough to safely package my whole house up and ship to India in one piece.
Hi-larry-us.

  2. My enemy would have to be BEES! Wasps, hornets, yellow jackets...anything that buzzes and can sting me I HATE! When someone tells me "they're more scared of you than you are of them" I want to scream. I can't sting them and make them swell up like a little puffer fish! Phew. THanks for letting me get that off my chest...and for the awesome giveaway!:-)

  71. My mortal enemy would definitely be my "junk" drawer. It's only a drawer but seems to be a black whole. I put things there so that I can easily find them when needed; however, I usually end up flustered and frustrated because everything is a tangled mess! Arrr, lol!
