We have a winner! Kathryn Salonka said: It turned out great! Love the birds.

Kathryn is also a WONDERFUL jewelry maker. I have been eyeing some of her work for some time now. I love her necklace called "Keys and wood". I'm a sucker for vintage skeleton keys. Check out her website here.

Congrats Kathryn! Email me (hopefeathers {at} me {dot} com) with your address to claim your prize :)

This was a really fun experiment. I loved seeing a bit more of who reads my blog. Maybe I'll have to do giveaways more often! Don't be a stranger now.... come back every now and then to say hi! I love comments.

Since photoless "naked" posts from a photographers blog is just silly, here are some silly pics of me and Bluejay as we tried to take some tripod christmas photos. We're going to try again... haha. And hope for snow. Who takes christmas photos in Mn with no snow? I'm dreaming of a White Christmas!
