Take a moment to vote for our sweet friend Dawn!
You know, I told you that I felt this was going to be "my year". Well, my sweet friend Dawn is having an incredible year as well. (You must know Dawn. I shared these darling tags that she made, and I first met her online when I bought these beautiful pillows from her...then, at long last, we met in person at the Victoria Magazine launch weekend!) She sold her little Antique shop, and has let her passion for altered art bloom. (Actually, it has been more like an explosion of creativity coming from her!)
Her altered art has already been recognized in publications, but this time, there is a very good chance she'll make the cover!
Please, let's pull out all the stops, and show what a difference the blog world can make, by supporting one of our shiniest stars. Take just a moment to go here and vote for her incredible work to grace the cover of Somerset Life!
We're wishing you all the best here, Dawn!

That really is the cutest!!!
Thanks for sharing.

Oh Tracey.
My eyes are filled with tears!!!! You are such an angel! Thank you so very much ~ what sweetness. This is such a true example of what the blog world is all about. Lifting one another up, encouraging one another so that we will step out of our comfort zones and be all that we dream we can be!!! You, dear friend, are wonderful ~ wishing all your dreams come true...
your cheerleader,
xxoo,
Dawn

I voted, as well. It's a lovely cover. I just wish I'd known it was going to redirect me to crafting supplies shopping! It took all my will power to navigate away.

I would be absolutely delighted to win your giveaway -- we surely were friends in a previous life! I agree with your assessment of Dawn's creativity -- don't know her but already voted for her cover simply because it was the best one. I am really commenting because I have one very important question -- I have been peeping in your blog window for quite some time -- when do you sleep? Your energy, creativity, and positive thinking are an inspiration to me to get up and get going. I too spent 28 years in economic development work.
