once upon a time a {lovely} artist :: ooh pretty shiny

and i am back! sorry for being so late today on posting but i had a busy afternoon… doing what? well, wandering around (again) the botanical garden, but this time to capture its beauty on film. it’s amazing because i was there a month ago and everything seems so different. and i was really happy to realize that i was on the right moment, because those amazing {pink blossoms} are now some kind of dark orange trees… not that beautiful. but on the other hand there were other beauties to be captured.

well, but moving on… i want to announce that in this next week, there will be one whimsical giveaway. now, i am not that fond of giveaways… for simple reasons. there are millions of those around the web… sometimes bloggers just announce 23 different rules to enter the giveaways… and several times, those who enter do not care about who is the author… they just want some free stuff. now i am really serious, i intend this blog to have my voice and my voice says this.

so what took me to have a giveaway on my blog? for starters, i believe deeply in this artist. asides from a huge friend, she is also very talented. i love the way she edits what she captures. i mean i love the way how it all starts. by her sensitivity. every time i read the word {whimsical} i think of her. from all the definitions for whimsical… light-hearted and amusing are my favourite. and these define her work. so… who is she? laura evans.

laura wishes to be a friendly photographer… and she wishes to share her love for photography and whimsical details… with you. she is offering any 10×8 or any 8×8 from her new shop {ooh pretty shiny}… oh the name, my friends, the name is brilliant! now the rules! ah! i promise to be very pratical on this! laura has a blog… laura has two shops… you just need to…

1. follow laura’s {blog}. why? to get in touch… to get to know more about her. don’t you love to know who is behind your favourite piece of art?

2. follow {this} blog. why? well, because i am really a nice gal! seriously! i promise!

3. leave a comment… with what? saying you loves us both. ok, no, not this (though you can say it!) just visit laura’s {ooh pretty shiny} and let us know which print you prefer! oh leave your email (so that i can get in touch with you!)

simple enough? three small steps! and that is it! oh and cross your fingers! by the way, laura is having her lil dude any moment now, so please if you get to be the winner… accept some unexpected delay, ok? and also, this one above is my favourite!
