Blog Giveaway: Beautiful prints

Dear Reader,

I apologize for my delayed response to your repeated queries.  I have been away from my desk, unable to write as I have been entertaining out-of-town guests and have spent a bit of time away from my own home.  But no matter.  I have returned, in good health and in good spirits.

AND WITH AN AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!!  (that whole restrained writing style, just really isn't me.)

The excellent caring folks at Easy Canvas Prints gave me the opportunity to order a canvas print of one of my photographs.  I thought, hey why not, and spent a few hours trying to decide WHICH print I would use.  After much mulling and decision making I chose one that I thought fit our house the best.

This is one of our family's favorite dishes, and I loved the vibrant red kimchi against the cool white tofu.  It also fits my kitchen pretty well, which is just plain under-decorated 1969 style.   I hung it on the wall in a space near the window and it looks like this.  (yes that is gold trim on the window.  Like I said, 1969.)

I love the way my food looks on this canvas.  I love how vibrant the colors are and I just love that I've hung something of mine on my wall.  It's like a mini-celebration of my blog.  I have to say - it feels pretty good.  And the other day, Son walked by and said, "Mom.  I want to eat THAT."  I'd say that was high praise.  Ordering the canvas after I actually figured out my picture took moments and it was at my house faster than I had expected.  I love it so much that I'm thinking of creating a wall of a few of my favorite prints from the blog, or perhaps an arrangement that covers appetizers, main course and dessert.  Haven't quite figured it out yet.  But in the meanwhile...

YOU, my dear reader, can have one of these.  Easy Canvas Prints is allowing me to give one lucky winner an 8X10 canvas print.  You can upload any picture of your own choosing (like a fantastic family portrait or a sexy boudoir portrait of yourself that you can stick in the closet for your husband or wife to ogle)  OR I will make available to you any of the photos on my blog for your use.  (I'll help you edit and send you a highly polished copy.)    So what do you need to do to enter?
