Remember my friend Beth?

She's the one who painted my wedding announcements, illustrated the beautiful adoption book, and painted this fantastic NieNie family portrait:

She also has been spreading joy around the Blogisphere with her personlized drawings seen here, here, and here.

And now she wants you to have a drawing of your own.
(It can be a family, couple or individual--your choice!)

Here's how to win it:

1. Visit her art tab and tell me what your favorite piece is.

Extras (new comment for each):
2. follow/subscribe to her blog

2. Add one of my buttons to your blog

3. Tweet, FB or Blog about the giveaway

*Update:
The lucky winner is Megan Robinson!
yay, I'll be emailing you with details :)
