Thanks so much for a great giveaway! I love "Gothic Door." I must be a true melancholic, because I always love images like this that have a bit of a lonely feel to them.
saharagreen at gmail.com
I would love Galloping Away! I just love horses and that's a great photo! Thanks!
bunnybx at gmail . com
I would choose "rose skin" under plants and flowers. Very well composed and beautiful, soft color.
wow......your work is GORGEOUS. There are so many I love...especially the horses. But I think I'd have to go with "Vivid and Minty' The colors are breathtaking.
Thank you for hosting.
I would have to choose Tiny White. I absoulutely love daisies! Your work is fantastic!

I like "Rose Skin". I like this one because I love pictures of rose buds, I don't know why, but I do:)
I love them all, but Red Raspberry in the sun. I'm a registered dietitian and so cards with such a beautiful healthy food are right up my alley!

I really like the "The Gate" picture! Living in the south, it just reminds me of coming home! You really do such beautiful work! Thanks for the chance to win a set!

I'd choose Raspberry in the Sun. I like it because I love raspberries and I think cards with that picture would be a great place to share recipes.
Wow. Now I'm not sure I even want to win - too many amazing photos to choose from. Morning dew, Evergreen Droplet, Bearded Wheat, Fence....I think I'd choose Evergreen Droplet.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Daughter is havning her first baby in Oct and these would make great announcements.
Have a bloggy day
Solar Luminary because I think teh pattern is neat.
I love the "sunshine reminder" photo. =)
I love photography, and would love to win these notecards that show such beautiful photos!
I love the holly and the ivy pic for Christmas cards. I never have enough and I love having them onhand for when I need gift cards. Your work is beautiful!
kitty kiity :)
The Holly and the Ivy - Every year I try and pick out unique Christmas Cards - something people can keep and display from year to year - this picture fits the bill. Thanks for the chance.
Beautiful photography! I'd choose the Rusty Blue design.

I love Tiny White.It's simple and beautiful. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I always was a kind of "misc. girl" so thats where I found " This Phone Is Tapped"! Great shot, great card! Thanks for hosting!
I really like the "autumn glow" picture... it is really calming, and I like how the trees have a pretty glow to them!
ticole96(at)msn(dot)com
I would have to say the Christmas Kickoff. I LOVE Christmas!
Cool pictures! My husband is an architect and loves pictuers of buildings and cool things in buildings. I think he'd like Lighthouse Stairs. He has some spiral stairs at a house that he just built. Very cool!
I love Tiny white. What beautiful pictures you take. I had a difficult time choosing just one!

I love Sunflower because that is my favorite flower and a beautiful picture! monk5@charter.net
I like the Smiley Addiction photo!
palmersf(at)bellsouth(dot)net
Double Happiness for me, please.
Im torn between If Only and Tiny White. I love your work. I am just getting into photography and lots to learn. I am loving my Canon Rebel though and love taking pictures of random things...now I just have to learn photoshop!
theharmons02 [at] hotmail.com
I would pick Rose Skin. I love the softness of the colors in the flower. Beautiful!
bigfamily8(at)yahoo(dot)com
You have some FABULOUS photos there! I am torn between Just Dandy and the Holly and the Ivy. It's people like you that inspire me to start carrying my camera around with me a bit more!!
Just Dandy has amazing clarity and softness. The Holly and the Ivy I would use for my Christmas thank you letters! I can't choose betweeen the two!!
While there is just something about the Birdless Birdbath photo...my heart smiles at the photo of the hands, as well as the baby toes in the grass.
Beautiful work.
Stunning photos! My favorite is Shaded Palm. The contrast is really lovely and I'm very drawn to this image, although all the flower photos are amazing.
You ask why I deserve to win....I don't know, probably because I'd cherish this image :)
I like the Coin laundry photo. It's really interesting, the colors of the sign against the dirty old building. And I, too, love the water drop guy.
You're a very talented photographer! It was so hard to pick a favourite but the "Mossy Stairway" in Scenic Nature really caught my eye.
fertawert AT yahoo DOT com
such beautiful work! Tiny white is my favorite. It reminds me that beauty is all around us.
swpsebts at hotmail dot com
I loved "Time to Go Home" from your China category. I choose China because I'm slated to go there in Sept. This has been a dream in the making for me. Chinese history has always intrigued me. Besides photography id my main hobby and I loved the composition of the shot. *AND* I though it would make a great greeting card.
So many beautiful choices! I love the mossy staircase. It was very hard to choose, though! Thanks. Stacy

I LOVE Raspberry in the Sun! It's just beautiful! I'd be honored to have any of your art in my home though...just gorgeous work!
mom bake 3 @ g mail dot com
"Yellow Dozer" is my favorite. It's timeless, and it's only a matter of time until my son is into large machinery! It'd look good in his yellow room, too.
Fire. I'm trying to always encourage my teen son to write notes, thank-you's, etc. to people. Much he does online, but there are some relatives and friends who don't use computers and he needs to go with snail mail. I know he would truly think the Fire notecards would be awesome and it would help inspire him to use them. Thanks!
I like the Mossy Stairway--it just seems so mystical to me as well as promising. You just know it leads to somewhere magical--it leaves you wondering and imagining endless possibilities.
"Just Dandy" -- we love dandelions in our family. "Galloping Away" and "Makin' Honey" are also amazing. So many beautiful photos!

Lone Tree, Midewest Sunset, and Autumn Glow.
Can you tell me how you edit a picture to only have color showing on one section and not make it look bad? How do you get a perfect outline, etc. :)
teacherkrista at gmail dot com
I was first drawn to Solar Luminary, and I adore all things solar. You do beautiful work.
Maple Tree Happiness. It just evokes a sense of warm, summertime, peaceful, childlike smile to my face. Thank you.
kvicker at hotmail dot com
I love Christmas kickoff. I love the ornaments and the scenes of Christmas. They are so beautiful.
Pollen Thingy. Wow, it's beautiful. You have some very unique designs here.
I'd pick the Blue Heron. My parents actually live on an island called Heron Island, this would be a wonderful gift for them!
ooh. i'm not sure. i think i'd like song birds because it's just so pretty and gets you thinking. thanks
Chickenland Strut is just to funny, especially since my little guy is obsessed with chickens.
Tough choice, you take some great photos! I love the storm clouds, as we live in Oklahoma and experience phenomenal storms whose beauty and power must be appreciated. However, I think I would choose Autumn Glow because I love to see the leaves changing in the fall, yet there aren't a lot of trees here on the plains where we live, so we settle for photos;) Thanks!
kpuleski at gmail dot com
I love the Frozen Fountain pictures!!
Wow. I am really impressed with your work, and having some of it in my own house would, hopefully, leave me more inspired to learn more about photography in those quiet hours when the kids are sleeping. I'd love to do more than what I do.
I love the "Dreams Come True" shot with snow on the fence for the holidays.
I like the Just Dandy photo for a note card!
dbstout[at]juno[dot]com
Hi! I'd love The Boy Reader. Thanks!
I love 1-2-3! Thanks! Amazing photos!
ryankristenwilson@msn.com
I like the one called "dark clouds". I love the way the sunlight is shining behind the clouds! Thanks!
Julie
I love the Pop Art Contest photo -- the contrasting colors and 'pop' of the door make me happy. ;)
I love *leaf light* in the city catagory. It's so mysterious and beautiful. It definitely says "Fall" and that's my favorite season.
Your photos are really great!
I love "galloping away" because I love horses..I used to have them when I was young but now we live in town..I miss horses :sigh:
farmhouse window is gorgeous. it reminds me of sweet, slow days.
I love the Easter Cross photo... you have a wonderful eye for photography! I love your work...
I would pick White Rhododendron because I love flowers and this one stood out to me. Thanks for the chance to win!
author_erin(at)lycos(dot)com
I really like Mossy Stairway. It just looks so beautiful and peaceful.
"Warehouse" in the grunge section is such a neato pic. I should win because I use words like "neato".
I love the nature photos - such a tough choice! I had to go with Multnomah Falls though since my family and I just hiked up the falls for the first time a few weeks ago. It would be a nice reminder of a special trip.
Wow I am in awe. I love taking pictures especially of my children. I wish I had half the talent as you. Thanks for sharing something from your heart. There were so many I could have chosen. However, I really like the toes in the grass for purposes of using them with baby shower gifts. Thanks again you are amazing and your children are absolutely beautiful.
I liked the space monkey city shot. It's fun how it wraps around on the sides, and the red door makes the photo 'pop'. Plus, the shot can be used for any type of greeting, a 'hello', 'thank you' note, 'birthday', etc.
I love the Gothic Door...It makes me nostalgic for the time we spent living abroad...your work is amazing...I'd love to have that kind of eye for beauty and the talent to capture it...
jasonncaryn at yahoo dot com
pigeon fountain! i am a pigeon fanatic, in a city full of pigeon bullies. they are just too precious- and that shot is really gorgeous!
Chickenland Strut is my fave. :D
Our family is in LOVE with roosters and chickens. Plus, the lighting in this picture gives it a tasteful glow. :)
Thanks for the chance! :D
luvreading7@hotmail.com
I'm picking Blue Springy- I love the brightness of the blue against the rest of the picture. So cool!
I really liked Autumn Glow. I'm originally from Ontario, Canada and am currently visiting with my family there. Never before have I felt such a deep longing for my roots. One of the things that makes this place so unique is the fall leaves. I'm now in Georgia and although the leaves do turn color a little, it doesn't have the same brilliance of color that Ontario has.
Your photo captures the golden haze of a beautiful autumn day that I miss so much!
I really like the Bicycle Built for Eight. I'm chinese and I just love watching chinese acrobats! :)
I can't decide between Lonely Leaf and Raspberry in the Sun.
I really like the contrast of the leaf against the ground. But I love the colors as well as the use of shadow on the raspberry. That and I just love raspberries.

I like "Oregon Farms" because both me and my DH love old tractors.
Your photography is amazing! Can't wait to browse some more. I really like your City collection and my favorite was "Frozen Fountain 2". I love pictures that capture flowing water in stillness.
My email address is in my profile. Thanks!
The Holly and the Ivy is a beautiful picture. Love the lighting! Makes me feel cozy and wintery. Have a great week!

I like Bonsai (I think), it's so unique, like nothing I've seen before. I would love to win these because I send a lot of notes and am always looking for some interesting cards to send!
You've got some really beautiful pictures on your website; I know I'll be back!
I keep going back to "Just Dandy," the dandelion photo. My daughter is 6 (and a half), and she recently told me that she doesn't like the pretty yellow flowers or the "blowy" flowers that grow all over anymore. When I asked her why, she told me, "They're just weeds." Her innocence is slipping away with her childhood, and it makes me sad. (Darn it, this is a contest entry, I'm not supposed to CRY. ;-))
Thanks!
~RC~
There are so many lovely photos, but I'd probably pick Browning Maple, since it's striking and thoughtful and a bit lonely, and would just seem to fit me at this season of life (though I'm not depressed). I also love Leaf Light (so dreamy!) and Vibrance (great color).
misshoney_bee(at)hotmail(dot)com
I would chose toes in the grass because it looks just like my sons chubby feet! It was tough, though, some of those flowers were great! Thanks!
awesome! i choose the vibrance picture. thanks! aebg1974 at bellsouth dot net
I love "Misty Morning" i like the fact that it's just sooo beautiful and peaceful looking, it's really nice i also really enjoyed "Sidewalk Cafe" that one was so simple yet very beautiful and pleasant

I like the Blue Heron photo. It's great how he's perched on the edge of frame and something about his look just makes me grin. tinawittmer(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love the Christmas ornaments. They make me feel in the holiday. I would love to share them.
Horse and Colt! I would like to win so that I can give them to my daughter (a real horse nut).
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I am an Art History major so you know I am loving all of these shots. Immediately I went to the China and the Sculpture categories.
I just finished a class in Asian Art and I fell in love with your captures. I especially like the "Elephant Eye."
You have such a gifted eye for beauty. Especially finding beauty in everyday things. I'm blown away!
alexandra.hancock@gmail.com
I love the Multnomah Falls. Thanks!
I love the 1, 2, 3 numbers. My son is turning 3 this year and those would be great Thank you cards. :)
I love the Dreams come true from the Holiday line. I have been in the mood for Christmas lately!
Your work is wonderful!
I would have to choose China Smiles. I spent a year teaching English in China & fell in love with the people. It was a wonderful experience!
Autumn Glow is my favorite. I am all about nature as I live in the middle of 10 acres. Your photos are beautiful. Love the site.
taylorhappyheart(at)gmail(dot)com
Gorgeous photos!! :-) You are very talented. :-)
If I were to win I think I would like the "Rose Skin" photo on the front. :-)
wendysdarling @ gmail . com
If I won I'd pick the Multnomah Falls photo. It reminds me of home (I'm from Oregon!)...
Count me in to win the Tiny White,just beautiful!
I like gothic doors it suits me.
cmartin0055 @ aol . com
Double Happiness :) :)
I thought I'd pick 'Kitty Kitty' because I'm a sucker for cats with 'tude, but I have to forsake the kitty this time and go with 'Birdless Bath', it is a lovey photo, beautifully composed, I think, and I find myself wanting to create a story around it. Lovely photos:)
belinda_streak(at)hotmail(dot)com
I'd love Leaves on Green its such a simple but beautifull shot that would be great for our eco life style. I hope to win!
You have a gift for photography. If I were to win I would pick (and this was a VERY hard choice) Time to Go Home.
I would choose Somethin' Flower. It seems to state simple elegance.
I love the harvest sunset! I'm an Indiana country girl and proud of it :) I've spent a lot of time in Ohio, too, mostly southern is where my mom and her family hail from.
cherrybomb77 @ gmail dot com
Wow. God has really gifted you with an eye for beauty. It almost leaves me speechless. I truly enjoyed looking through your gallery of photos (your kids are adorable!). I have had a hard time picking just one, so I'm gonna go with Flower Collage because then I get 9 for the price of 1! :-)
I love your photographs! I love the 1-2-3, but it would be a hard choice. I love most all your grunge photographs, and you pictures of the Portland area are amazing. I just moved to OK from Coos Bay, and miss is terribly. Thanks for a great giveaway!
It's so hard for me to choose just one because you have such a gift. But, I think my first choice would be "Sunflower" because it's one of my favorite flowers and it's so bright & cheery. Thanks for the chance to win!
Kitty Kitty! For sure-love the eyes! The contrast is great!
KawaiiNeko2008 (at) aol (dot) com
If I won, and had to choose just one it would be "Girls at Play" I like that it is almost abstract and you're not quite sure who it is playing. It could be me in the late 70's. Very nostalgic and timeless.
I like the Holly and the Ivy picture - great notecards for the holiday - all of your pictures are wonderful!
I really like the one called "musical thingy". Your photos are great.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway.
tiffanyannrosson at yahoo dot com
I have 2 favorites! Gimme A Hand and Toes In The Grass! What awesome photos! Thanks so much for the opportunity! ~ countrygirl1823@aol.com
I would choose the "Just Dandy" photo...it would be a cute saying to add to the card! :) Great work! m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com
The Happy Willow is my favorite photo. My grandparents always had a weeping willow in their backyard, and every time I see one, it reminds me of happy visits to their house. My grandfather just passed away last month, and my grandmother is getting ready to sell their house. I will surely miss visiting the house and sitting in the shade of the weeping willow.
I love the sunflower shot, because I LOVE sunflowers. I would love to win this contest to send some really fun and personalized cards to friends and family.
Filament -- it's light, lovely and describes the slice of life the Matron strives for and cherishes. She also likes Our Little Souvenir and Chess on the Square, for the sense of back story both bring!
petri017@umn.edu
For me, it would be Gimme A Hand-
I really like the family element, no faces, just hands on top of each other. Young hands, older hands-it could be anyone-the photo shows the closeness and love of the family without facial expressions, only simple body language. Very touching!
i uld just like to so wow. your pictures are stunning. im super jealous. you are so talented! just amazing!!!
i like the picture " gimme a hand" its gorgous and it brings a real meaning to family.

You are so talented. I especially love your Rural pics of barns and old doors/windows. It reminds me of my grandparents' and great-grandparents' houses. Thanks,

Please check out my giveaway at www.toddlertailoring.blogspot.com
I am torn between the Smiley Addiction and the Rose Skin. I like the Smiley because the phrase, "Don't Worry Be Happy" come to mind and that's how I try to live my life every day. I would choose the rose because it's my favorite flower.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I love the "Green Door!" It just is inviting and looks like a great place to visit! BEAUTIFUL pictures! What talent! Thank you for the chance to win!
All I can is WOW, I have never seen such vibrant work put on a card. Love the plant and flower cards. Excellent work and thank-you.
Well, there are several that caught my eye (the red and white striped building, for one), but I have to settle on Multnomah Falls. I used to live in Oregon City, and I visited the falls frequently. That is truly one of the most beautiful shots of those falls I've ever seen. I used to go swimming at the bottom, before they cut it off. It's got special memories for me. Please pick me!?
Great photos...I would love the Sunflower, my favorite flower!
I like Jrassic Bark alot. Very entertaining to look it. I was torn between that and the bike rack. Gorgous photos. Id love to win and be able to share these with others.
ry13_2000@yahoo.com
They are so amazing, but my favorite is the Leaf Light.
I loved Volvo on a lonely street! Great photography. ;)

Florets
Hi!
Beautiful photos! I'm in awe!I would love toes in the grass to use as thank you note after the birth of our son in 31 days!
Thanks,
mountaingoats@hotmail.com
Easy. Birdless Bath under Miscellaneous. It's very Grey Gardens, don't you think? Why should I win? Because I'm staunch, darling.
I love Dark Clouds. Gorgeous photography!
I love the “Tiny White” picture in the Plants and Flowers category. Daisies are far and away my absolute favorite flower. So lovely, so Springlike, so under-appreciated – they always make me smile.
Tiny White in the plants and flowers! All your work is beautiful!!
Beth Parmer
beth.parmer@gmail.com
Flower Collage is my favorite. Wonderful work.
Happy day.
Somethin' flower is beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway (and the chance to look at all the photos!

Black Eyed Susan. I love flowers and this one is beautiful.
the green door...wow i love them all in that category. a lot of talent! i like it because it's haunting yet hopeful...
Wow, hard to pick just one. I think I will go with shaded palm. So calm and serene.
Oh, I would love the "No Red" photo. No stopping, just go go go!
Hmmm..I can't decide between the raspberry in the sun or autumn glow. I guess if I had to pick just one I would do autumn glow. Gorgeous pic of God's great creation!
I love the Mossy Stairway photo - it looks like it could lead to a magic place! All your photos are wonderfully evocative:)
I love the Rose Skin photo - my grandfather raised roses and it makes me reminisce about his gorgeous blooms. Thanks!
I like the 1-2-3 photo in the grunge/rustic category. It just appealed to me the most out of all the photos in the category. Great giveaway, thanks!
