purses... it makes me want to go shopping for a new purse, which is silly really, because... well, i don't like to buy purses normally and it's midnight! but i have LOTS of friend who pink puffy heart purses, so I could write real letters to people... if i can rmember how... :D
Hello, I really like "1-2-3!" Prim decor is what I enjoy and I love this photo. The Rustic Shed was very nifty, also. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

Street Poem from China is my favorite. I don't know why, it just speaks to me as something I'd like to know more about. Thanks, very cool!
i love the Best Buds picture....it is SO adorable, and what a great little card it would make to give to a friend. :)
I really like sunflower from plants and flowers. It is just so bright and happy and reminds me that in just a short while it will be summer.
linda(at)learyfam(dot)com
I love the tree bones!!
I am running a bloggy party right now too with tons of prizes! Come check us out!

I like, "GATE". I love the look of the white gate against the beautiful green grass. I also like the feeling of welcome that the open gate gives. I can imagine using these cards for various reasons.
So hard to choose, but I love Morning Dew - it's just so bright and happy and reminds me of a beautiful morning!
I think my favourite is Endless Evergreen. I'm always impressed by giant trees, and I like the perspective in this photo.
(Plus, it lends itself well to horrible puns like "Things are looking up." Don't mind me, I've been writing finals lately and my brain is fried.)
I really like the windmill picture-great photography!!
Autumn Glow :)
I love the Happy Willow photo because the colors seem so vibrant. BTW, I don't know if you're a Lost fan, but that van in Rusty Blue totally reminds me of the van that Hurley saved the day in at the end of last season! Love your photos. You really have a gift!
Great giveaway! Thanks for offering! I can't decide between Tree Bones and Dark Clouds Rollin' In. Both are so stark in their beauty, and I have always thought winter trees had their own brand of beauty! AWESOME photography!!!

Great Prize!!! Thanks!

I love the Best Buds picture
I should win it because...it hurts my heart so good!
Misty morning is goregous!
mcginnisfamily5(at)gmail(dot)com
Iris
Oooo... you take beautiful shots! Just fab! I love Misty Morning because it reminds me of the lovely, winter time in London, but if I won the cards, I'd like Smiling Addiction to be on it :P Thank you so much! :)
"Time to Go Home" is my very favorite.
For some reason, it just "speaks" to me, maybe because I love to travel. The way the picture is focused is pretty cool, too!
fiordpiner [at] yahoo [dot] com
Wow, so hard to choose! I *love* Touch of Gold because it is just so darn beautiful, plain and simple! These would make such beautiful and simple happy cards! Your photos are amazing! So glad I found this site!
Love the Sunflower! It so cheery! Makes me HAPPY!
Check out my giveaways:

I like both the Harvest Sunset and the Railroad Bridge. I think I'd have to choose Harvest Sunset, though: I love the colors!
Touch of Gold
I especially love white flowers, so this was my favorite. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the "Abandoned Barn" photo. It helps me look forward to the farm we're searching otu for when my husband retires. I don't see it so much as abandoned as waiting for my family!
Thank you for your giveaway!
Sunflower!! I love sunflowers. monk5@charter.net
Galloping Away...we live at the barn and the photo is so beautiful
Time to Go Home, although there are many others that I really like. Please count me in!
amateurdelivre at gmail dot com
Sunflower! Because it reminds me of sunshine and warmth and happiness and smiles.
I love "Black on Blue." You have such GREAT photos here!
Solar Luminary
Hubby and I are both fans of architectural elements and both design students so the entire architectural category appeals to me a little bit ;-)
email addy (retta.oliver(at)gmail.com
This was hard to choose because there were so many photos I liked, but I'm going to go with "Sunflower." I love writing and receiving "real mail," so I always can use new notecards. Thanks! -Julia :-)
Great blog and great giveaway.
Loved the Mossy Stairway!
Stacy
hetz-junk@hotmail.com
I'd love the one titled "Garden Window" from the China category. Thanks!
Hard to pick just one! I guess I'd say "Morning Dew"! I would LOVE to win this prize because I love to send cards, especially to my niece.
Your photography is gorgeous -- it was hard to choose just one. But, I'll go with the Misty Morning in Portland. It's just a picture that makes me feel like I want to be there. It almost reminds me of when we lived in London.
Elephant Eye is gorgeous!
I would have to say, either "gate" or "happy willow".
Gate because it reminds me of the fact that the door is always open to God, and Happy Willow, because, well, I love willow trees!
Your work is absolutely gorgeous!! I had trouble deciding, but I think mouse eye view is my favorite ... but buzzzzzzzz was a close second!
I also liked here comes the bride. My cousin is getting married in that park in June!! I can't wait to see how beautiful it looks!
threeofakindblog at gmail
I am loving your work. The things you do with color and texture are amazing. My favorite is rustic shed with ivy. The color contrast and the juxtaposition of the old with new life speak to me.
Thanks for doing a giveaway.

I like the Stone Stairs photo. I love the light, and the warm feel of the photo.
Okay....you have a lot of great pictures to choose from, hard to pick just one....I really like the Sunflower but it was a toss up between that and the Touch of Gold.
I love Sidewalk Cafe. It just looks perfect for a love you, thinking of you, or missing you note to someone special. Thanks!
This was such a hard choice because they are all so beautiful, but I finally settled on Gimme a Hand for a few reasons. First, I love the look of those hands of all ages. Secondly, I'm all about hands on learning and it reminded me of my writing curriculum which I'm giving away on my blog- Hands-On essays.
I love the flower photo labelled VIbrance. It's just such wonderful photography.
Feel free to pop by and say hello.
daldak01@yahoo.ca
The Holly Leave because I LOVE all things Christmas!
The sunflower or the flower collage - love that! Both would look great on note cards. Thanks!
I like Vibrance. It's a pretty picture; I love red!!
I like galloping away. Have always loved horses. katie_mmartin (at) yahoo [dot] com
I love the "Mossy Pillars". It would be perfect for my dh. He needs "man paper" as he calls it for his clients (thank yous, etc) and this is very sophisticated.
Ok, architecture is my favorite in art, no problem choosing the category (I have lots of architecture pieces, the Old North Church in Boston for one)
...then, having to choose the best among the different photos...first I thought the endless columns because I like food courts and small shops :)
But, then I saw the aging shed and thought what a metaphor it is for me. I'm not exactly a spring chicken but I don't have one foot in the grave either, just aging like all of us. The shed evokes my curiosity about what might be inside, and makes me wish I had a shed in my backyard to hold all the treasures that I don't have room for in my garage...like the bikes, trikes, and scooters that belong to my 10 children. Yes, really - 10. See for yourself. As to why you should pick me, well, why not? And, I don't have an aversion to skinny, bald guys. Kathy
I love the Sunflower! It's makes me smile and think of Summer!
We're also adopting from China...so I'd have to go with something from that category. Maybe China Smiles?
Thanks!
My favorite is the Black Eyed Susan.
I like the photo "dark clouds" because I like the way you've captured the sun's rays behind the cloud and the contrast between the white part and the darker part of the cloud. It's beautiful.
Julie
3cookieday[at]gmail[dot]com
I like the "purses" one the best. Everyone who knows me will say that I am the purse queen. So, that would match my personality so well! Thanks.
Heidi
sweet_soul_sistermi@yahoo.com
I love the Green Door one. I love that color!
The Lone Tree...it looks so haunting in B&W.
You have some gorgeous photos there! I think I would choose Sunshine Reminder because it is so cheerful and I love those colors.
Thanks!
author_erin(at)lycos(dot)com
the cup colors.
reminds me that we are all done with sippy cups ;)
Sunshine reminders-so bright and pretty!
The Weeping Willow - I love them too!

mrshuntinak AT msn DOT com
I love Multnomah Falls. It is so beautiful and peaceful.
I like Dreams Come True-so rustic and beautiful.
claireroach81(at)hotmail(dot)com
Happy Willow!
sooo lovely.
I love Sunshine Reminder--it's so bright and gorgeous. My email addy is in my blogger profile, just in case I win!
I love the wheat harvest... or the rustic shed with ivy... I can't decide!!!!
Blue Stripes ~ because I feel like it's truly an amazing, yet modern look at a building.
I can't decide between the Easter Cross and Leaves on Green. They are both wonderful!
I love all things Chinese and think your photo of the Imperial Gate would make a striking card.
Crystal Spire. I love the colors in the background!
Gorgeous photographs. I really like the Sunflower. The macro details of the flower itself are fabulous.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love the nature/outdoors pictures. My favorite were Autumn glow and Dark clouds but they are all beautiful!
Touch of Gold really caught my eye. But I have to be honest...it was really hard picking just one. Your photography is wonderful!
Have fun with your giveaway this week. Don't forget to come on over and enter mine too.
Sunflower, I like it the most because sunflowers are my favorite,
I am not very good at growing them, but I try again every year!
Hi. The photo's are lovely. I would chose delicate yellow. I love tulips, they remind me of my younger days-hehe.
I love Toes in the Grass. It reminds me of when my daughter was that age. Your pictures are beautiful! My email address is in my blogger profile, in case I win!
I like "moon window" in the China section. We lived in China for 1 year and Laos for 4, so Asia is very special to me.
I love the Dreams Come True picture of the wood fence with the snow along the beam. I think closeups are very dramatic and I like seeing the snow against the brown wood.
While I love each and every one of the China photos, I would have to choose 'China Smiles' as my favorite because, like you we have a priceless souvenir, ours being from Jiangxi. You have a wonderful angle on these images and having them in sepia or b/w gives them the timeless feeling surrounding China in my heart.
Win or not, I am wealthier for having visited your site. Thank you.
Alyson
The Gimme a Hand photo is adorable. It says a lot and makes me want another baby. (Don't tell my husband though!)
Can I just browse backwards and tell you I really like the Sidewalk Cafe? The colors are awesome. And the Ankeny Motif.
I love Happy Willow. We used to have a grand tree like that when I was growing up until ligtening hit it and destroyed it. I have so many fond memories of that tree.
I can be reached at the URL associated with my name. THANKS!
I love "Misty Morning"...it reminds me of my favorite vacation, in Oregon. And it looks like the perfect downtown scene.
nat_cat_21@yahoo.com
I like the Chapel Door photo. It is nice and welcoming and reminds me of hope.
egreca {at} hotmail [dot] com
I like the Purses picture, because I am a purses addict.
Mary_Freebies == internationalfreebies AT gmail DOT com
Sunflower. I also enjoy photographing flowers, and the detail and intensity of this one jumped out at me!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I'd love "Multnomah Falls". I'm originally from Oregon (now out in the midwest) and I miss it so much. I've been to Multnomah multiple times and can't wait to move back home.
I love the look of Mossy Staircase. I don't know who I would send them to - prob wouldn't want to part with them :)
Thanks for the great giveaway.
I would choose notecards of blackeyed susan You have lovely macro work
If I win I would, with out a doubt, pick Autumn Glow. I grew up just a couple of blocks from Mt. Tabor, and I have so many happy memories of that wonderful place. I live on the East Coast now, and I miss my childhood home so very much. I would love to share these notecards with my friends and family, so that they could see the beauty from my memories.
All of your work is gorgeous! Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
~ Amy @ Memoirs of a Mommy
I love Green Door and Rustic Shed. Green Door reminds me of the back door of my house when I was a kid, and I just think Rustic Shed is really cool looking. Very unique notecards- hope I win!
I love the black eyed susan! One of my most favourite wild flowers.
I would love to win this! Please enter me.
taradawnrobertson[at]hotmail[dot]com

You are very talented
flower collage
would be my choice
Jen at whitty4jen@yahoo.com
Love the Stone Steps. :)
Thanks for this great prize giveaway!!
Spectrum I like that picture, its awesome.
Please count me in galedrial@hotmail.com
Iris....Before I had my daughter, I used to go every Saturday to the local Farmer's Market and buy myself irises. That is what I missed the most when I stopped working and had to cut back on expenditures. These would remind me of those quiet moments before kids! :)

It was a toss up between musical thingy and jurassic bark
Thanks for the entry.
Let's see...Horsin' Around is very cute! I love the playful expression!

I like Harvest Sun and Blue Heron the most, if I need to chose one I think it would be blue heron as I love the water!
Thanks for a fun giveaway!
I really like the Sunshine Reminder in the flower section.
I like Galloping Away. I love horses and I love watching them. I think this is such a beautiful photo.
I love "May Flowers" they are so pretty and delicate! Very nice!

What gorgeous shots!
I'd choose Mossy Stairway, because I found it very uplifting and positive--the stairway is going upward, it looks old, and I immediately wondered what those stories those steps could tell...
my email: melaniblazer@comcast.net
Beautiful photography. I like the rural pics, specifically the gas pump or the barn and silos. Why? I guess because I can relate to these...I grew up in a rural area.
My favorite is the Christmas Kickoff photo. I like this one because it brings back a lot of happy memories and I love the colors. Thank you for the chance.
Easter Cross, I love the contrast and I think the fabric is symbolic of the blood of Christ.
I love Green Door. I love architecture photos and it's just beautiful!
I like the Spring Bud in your Flowers category. I'm a bit of a flower fanatic myself (although I don't know what that white flower that hangs upside down is called either), so I'm a bit envious of you with that yard full of flowers. We don't get as early of a start on spring here in Minnesota as you do there on the West Coast.
Peonies~
I have been desperate for a taste of spring....and your shot of the peonies gave me some sunshine!
I love seeing the word through your eyes! You have a wonderful talent!
Danielle
I love "Pigeon Fountain" because of the look in the one on the right's eye.
I love the Misty Morning photo.
"Come Sit With Me" is the photo I'd choose to have you place on notecards because I just like the texture of the park bench.
I love all of the misc pictures. They are all so original!
I really like Delicate Yellow. It is so bright and vibrant, a reminder of the beautiful life that sprouts after winter.
clfant@nscorp.com
Old shed--- makes me think of my grandma's house and her old garage. Brings back memories. Thank you for the giveaway.
I love candlelit! Beautiful photography!
Love the "Lighthouse Stairs". Love how you don't quite know what it is, but when you see the title it makes perfect sense. Beautiful photography. You have inspired me!
I used to live in Oregon. I miss it a ton, but you make me miss it more! I love the lighthouse stairs and the 1-2-3.
Thanks!
I looked through several of your galleries. You do beautiful work! I loved the Christmas Kickoff one. Perfect for Christmas thank you cards!
I love "If Only".
That image of a tire swing took me back to my childhood. If only I had time to swing again. If only I remembered how.
Very nostalgic and sweet at the same time.
Oh QUIRKY PEACOCK! They are my daughter's "most favorite" animals right now!
Thanks :)
Hello, fellow Portander (and brother in Christ) I just spent an awful lot of time looking through your photos. We DO live in a beautiful place, don't we?
I loved the steps going up to Multnomah Falls, best, but also enjoyed your barns and fences, and all the ones of your daughter. Oh and the tree in fall at Mt Tabor was gorgeous, too. You have a gift.
Oh, you should pick me because I love all your photos and shipping will be cheap! :-)
Come visit my blog for another Portland giveaway, if you have time.
In Christ,
Diane
I love the columns and curls in the architecture category.
What a great prize!
I am offering giveaways all week also! Make sure you come by and enter, as well as read my blog on everything from parenting, life, marriage, and my trip through infertility.

Endless Evergreen. I love this picture. It suits my husband to a tee. He is a tree hugger and these would be great to send our notes to our friends.
these photographs are so artistic. I had such a wonderful time going through the categories. There were so many great shots, but I absolutely stopped and knew "Red Bike on Rainy Day" was made for me! It pretty much sums up my life...rainy, but light with a splash of excitement and intrigue.
Grunge/Rustic 1-2-3
The series re:the playground is awesome, but the numbers grounded everything. Like the beginning of a count down or children reciting their newly learned numbers. I signed up for your newsletter because my interest has been raised and I would like to know more. Thank you. MaggiB
I love the city pictures... especially the Misty Morning. It's evocative and reminds me of moody mornings... might as well have the picture to show people instead of wearing my heart on my sleeve:-)
I love the rural "Gate" photo! It's so inviting and peaceful.
I've really enjoyed looking at your many photos taken in Portland, since I live in Portland too! I laughed out loud when I read about your kids quoting the "blue line to Gresham..." MAX announcement. My sister & I used to do that, too! :)
By the way, we adopted, too!
Blessings,
Michele :)

Endless Columns, Rustic shed with Ivy or harvest sunset. I love your work. Thank you for much for the giveaway. I would love to win this! nw_wife(at)hotmail(dot)com
Gimme a hand, how adorable! What an awesome idea & thanks mama!
You are so very talented. I could list 20 favorites. But the one that is most "me" is Leaf Light. My friends and family know me as a lover of all things autumn, so receiving that card from me would be perfect.
Love all your work, though!
meredithmd(at)gmail(dot)com
Sooo many beautiful photos! I love that you commented on being a tourist in your own town. Such beauty all around us if we look! I love many of your photos, but the Morning dew really spoke to me. I could smell the freshness of a spring rain just by looking at the picture. (I love the pigeon fountain next, my grandfather raised and exhibited pigeons, and it reminded me of him)
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Hugs
Renee
I love 1-2-3 or Autumn Glow. Your work is amazing. I love the feeling I get from it, kind of an awe for the beauty in the everyday things around us. I'd love to use these cards to keep in touch with family and friends.
I love, love, love the Smiling Addiction photo. I just worked a 12-hr shift and I'm tired but that darned balloon made me grin from ear to ear!
Shirley pedsrn9999@sbcglobal.net
I like the horse and colt photo, it has a beautiful abstract quality to it. Great giveaway, thanks!
Hi,
I love the Plans and Flowers the colors are goregous! Only Mother Nature could do that!
Love your idea.
Thanks,
Karen
You really have some beautiful photos. It's hard to choose!
I like the Solar Luminary a lot. Really, almost any of the photos I looked at would make gorgeous cards, but I love the simplicity and elegance of that one.
I like horse and colt and galloping away... horses are so beautiful and I have always loved them, just looking at them makes me smile
I like the pigeons and fountain shot. I like it because I like photos and photography in general. You can see some of my photos here
The Abandoned Barn picture is beautiful! And the railroad bridge - lovely.
I am a young mom of 5 children and have been struggling with painful gallsontes. We've had many, many people helping us out. I would use your cards as much-deserved thank-yous.
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Chris
ccweston40(at)hotmail(dot)com
I like so many of them, and I'm not done looking - but "Gimme a Hand" took my breath away and nearly made me cry.
These are FANTASTIC photos! Not just beautiful - but touching. Great job!
Wow--I'd have to pick ONE?!? I really like "chipped and cracked" and "stone wall" both in the architecture category because I love the idea of finding beauty in things that other's deem ugly, old, or useless.
Dark Clouds Rollin' In I think is the one for me. I'm trying to teach my son the art of letter writing, and cards seem to work best for him, so we send notecards back and forth to each other (yes, through the mail even tho we are in the same house, getting it IN the mail is worth the stamp) Anyway, I think he would like these clouds :)
What a great giveaway. Thanks. I love the Blue Heron...they have always been so inspirational to me....they are just so lovely and serene and your photo captures that perfectly...
~Lolly
Blue Heron is awesome. We live spend tons of time near Lakeside, so that would be a perfect card for us. Thanks.
I love "Lone Tree". It's just a beautiful picture and I love nature.
I like the Bzzz design in your animal category. It's got a spring/summer look to it and would be great to send to friends.
partymix25(at)hotmail(dot)com
Dreams come true- because I love the winter and snow and I live in Arizona, where we don't get any of that. I don't know if I should win, but I can always use more cards.
Galloping Away - horses running by that's so cool.
fire
I love the Quirky Peacock notecards. It looks so inquisitive!
elizajoy.matherATgmailDOTcom
Courthouse Facade is beautiful. It looks as if it should be on a building in Greece or Rome. Actually any of your shots from Ft. Wayne are rea really wonderful. Congrats on the adoption and hopefully God will send you to China once again soon.
The "Quirky Peacock" photo made me smile, so I know it brighten anyone's day if sent as a notecard.
Delicate Yellow definately. I liked the one right above it also, the red flower. These are really nice.
i love the china garden window picture
Thanks for offering such a great prize - I hope I'm the lucky winner! :)
I like the green door. I think it would be great to have note cards with this because first, it's beautiful. Second, because it wouldn't be hard to think of a corresponding message for any occasion!
hellerfam(at)yahoo(dot)com
Best Buds is my favorite. I am forever taking shots of my daughters like this. I love the fact that shots like this can be any kid, anywhere. I can picture a photo like this hanging in a bedroom shared by two brothers, or proudly displayed on the living room wall.
You have such a natural talent, I love your work.
What beautiful photos!! You are truly talented and I am so glad I stumbled onto your blog (via the bloggy giveaways of course!)
I love love love Leaf Light. So gorgeous, warm, autumn feel. Seriously.
thanks for the opportunity!
I like the sepia tones and shinyness of the "Time to Go Home" photo! Thank you!
meg (dot) wilson (at) gmail (dot) com
Anything in the Plants & Flowers category! My finacee loves note cards and LOVES flowers so I know she'll love this!
I love the Wheat Harvest picture. I come from a mixed farming family--cattle and grain farming. If I won these it would always remind me of my roots. Enter me and thanks.
I guess my favorite - or the one that speaks to me the most - would have to be - oh darn forgot the name - the one with the two hooks in the Grunge section. I just kept coming back to it. Reminds me of my father. He used hooks like these to tie down his backhoe on the trailer. Your photography is amazing.
I love the smiley face balloon! What a fun card that would be to people that need a pick-me-up!
Wow!!! I aspire to take photos like this one day. It was hard to choose but Misty Morning is gorgeous. I love the way you captured the lights and the rain on the street. Wow...did I already say that?
Wonderful photographs! I have to choose Jurassic Bark as the one I'd like if I win though. It's just wonderful and perfect for us! Thanks so much!
Wheat Harvest reminds me of growing up in Kansas. Very nice photos!
"Street Poem from China" is my favorite. It has such depth.
Best,
Barb
swsolo@charter.net
"delicate Yellow" is the one I like a lot.
I love your shot of the "Hexagonal Barn". I know that barn! It's located in the area where I was born and raised. My husband and I recently moved to Tennessee and when I start getting homesick I look at that picture and it makes me smile. It's a little piece of "home" here in Tennessee for me. Thank you!
FYI - Contest was over last week. No more entries. Thanks to everyone who visited and entered. Congrats to the winner who was notified via e-mail!
