Oh, folks. Do I have a pre-Christmas treat for you, & thankfully not the kind that will add poundage to your cute little butt cheeks. About a month ago, I participated in an email exchange that went something like this:
Megan: I worship the ground you walk on. Look, you’re okay.
me: holla holla pop yo colla.
Megan: & we’d like to spread some Christmas cheer in the form of our magical artwork.
me: awesome possum.
Megan: BOOM.
No, really. That’s how we communicate, which is refreshing after days of professional drivel.
Remember this?
Hello, Modern Bird. Two-color.
You are SO GORGEOUS.
This time, Gregg decided to get a little frisky, add in some more color, & in the words of his business partner & wife….BOOM.
When they sent over the preview, I swooned.
& when I opened this up & placed it on our mantle, I nearly fainted.
Maybe not, but I did cry. I really, truly had tears in my eyes. I’m such a sap these days, but it captures the white-blonde of Harrison’s curls so perfectly & tugs on my momma heart-strings. & I remember that day in the park, where the wind was blowing & the sunshine was so warm & perfect. Nate threw Harrison in the air while he squealed & I laid on the grass, sipping a cranberry tea from Sonic. Every time I look at the painting, I’m thrown back to that day & that feeling of contentment.
Modern Bird & I would love to give you that same opportunity this holiday season – to own a painting of your own that will hopefully bring you joy & memories.
So Gregg & Megan are graciously offering one of you a $250 gift certificate to Modern Bird. Will you use it for yourself? Gift it away to a family member or friend? Will you use a picture of a pet, or a baby, or maybe an old rustic barn?
Here’s what you need to do:
Each of these counts as a separate entry, so be sure to leave two different comments if you do both.
It’s open to folks living in the United States & Canada, so if you live in Amsterdam, you’re totally out of luck. But probably smoke pot, so I’m guessing you don’t really mind too much. Previous winners, you are disqualified.
I’ll pick the winner next Monday, November 22, 2010.
(I had such a hard time finding the right “fit” for our mantle, but I think I’ve finally achieved the look I want with the shutters & artwork.)
If you’re looking for an amazing present that is sure to wow but don’t win here, enter the code HEIRTOBLAIR at checkout for 15% off. (but hurry, because the code expires November 29th!)
Megan & Gregg, thank you so much. You are such an absolute joy to work with & make an amazing team.
required shiz: modern bird sweetly gave me both paintings at no cost to me in exchange for my review & general pimp-ness. also, because they feel sorry for y’all having to listen to my daily drivel.
