GIVEAWAY time!! Trust me, you'll want to win this one.

I ordered Evan's Christmas gift in October.  I had known for MONTHS what I wanted to give him.  I found an etsy shop from Growing Sweet Pea.  Her blog is the CUTEST.  What this etsy shop is all about is the sweetest custom cartoons you've ever seen.  For such a reasonable price (ranging from $15 to $35), you get a one of a kind gift such as:

How about a sweet adorable picture of you and your sweet someone?

 Or how about a picture of Daddy with his new bundle of joy?
Not a fan of black and white?  She does color too!

So, for Christmas I told her I wanted a picture of Evan swimming with Liliana.  As you guys know, Evan is an amazing swimmer (All-American), so swimming with Liliana has already become very important to him.  She looked at quite a few pictures of Evan and Liliana and within a couple weeks look what I got in the mail: 


Isn't this possibly the most ADORABLE thing you've EVER seen?  Needless to say, Evan LOVED it.  In fact, he told me it was quite possibly the best gift I've ever given him.  He has been SO protective of it and immediately went to buy a frame so it wouldn't get bent in anyway.  

Want another view?

Isn't this sweet?  LOVE IT!

After Christmas, I contacted the artist just to tell her how pleased I was and you know what she did?

She is doing a GIVEAWAY just for you guys! 

It is worth $25 towards any thing you want her to draw for you guys, whether it be a sport, a sweet portrait, or well ... anything!  I am SO excited for whomever wins this giveaway.  If you send her pictures, she will customize it JUST FOR YOU.

I just think these kinds of gifts are THE BEST: personal, sweet, custom, and PERFECT.

SO, how do you win?

For 1 entry, visit either her ETSY SHOP or HER BLOG and tell me what you would have her draw for you.

For 2 entries, follow this blog!


For 4 entries, blog about this giveaway and post the link in a comment below.

This giveaway will last until February 2nd at 5 when I'll do the drawing and announce the winner!  Make sure you give me an email address in which to contact you if you're the lucky winner!

  2. I love Shannon's work!! She's amazing [that colored dancing portrait is actually one that she's done of me and my husband, and I LOVE it!] I've been meaning to ask her if she would consider doing a picture of an entire family... I'm keeping it in mind for next Christmas :]
