Fab Freebie: City Love

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

This week’s TWO lucky winners are… Maria G (who loves Kansas City despite being under 12-15″ of snow at the moment) and Fiona (who loves her hometown of Washington DC so much she even loves the traffic). Congrats you two!

Today marks the seven year anniversary of our move to Richmond, VA. Woo hoo! It’s crazy to think that it has been that long, and to celebrate this week’s giveaway is from a city-minded artist: Kimberly of Albie Designs. We’ve had her charming illustration of New York City hanging in our hallway o’ frames for as long as there has been a frame collection there (my sister bought it for Sherry for her birthday a few years back). And now Kimberly has released a Richmond city print. So whether you want her new RVA work of art, or others from around the country (and even the globe) you’ll get your pick thanks to the $100 gift card that she’s offering up to two lucky winners.

    I love Washington, DC!!

    We live near Baltimore, but I grew up outside DC and our first date and every anniversary since has been spent in DC playing tourist. Our wedding even had a view of the Potomac river, just outside DC.

    Our weekend was so crafty, DIY-filled, and project palooza that I’m spending the day watching TV shamelessly with the kids.

    I love Paris! Went once and am dying to go back someday. But the truth is I REALLY love New York. Grew up in the city and only left for college. There are days it kills me (really people, just get off the train and let people off and then get back on, ok?) but I can’t imagine living any where else.

    I love SEATTLE! This giveaway is awesome, her art is incredible! I love Seattle because my husband and I are moving there from the Midwest in a few months. Hopefully Seattle will be the place we have some amazing adventures together.

    I LOVE ROME!!

    I’m from a small town, living in the country, and loving it. It’s everything I’ve wanted and I love that our daughter will grow up in this setting. But I visited Rome, Italy a few years back and it was A-MAY-ZING. The food, the history, the people, the design, the clothing. All of it. Even the cobblestones that made me want to chew my feet off at the end of the day. I dream of returning some day with my family to see another sunset on the Spanish Steps.

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!! My husband and I met and lived in the city of love until recently. We love going back to our old stomping grounds and reliving our dating years.

    I LOVE ROME!

    I studied abroad during a summer in Rome and just fell in love- the art, the food, the history. I cannot wait to return someday!!

    I love Denver! Mainly because my sister lives there and she’s my best friend, but the majestic Rocky Mountains is a view I can’t over get enough of!

    I LOVE Athens, Georgia! I went to UGA, got my bachelors in social work there and began my career working with children!! What a wonderful city that started my professional growth.

    I was also living there when I started reading Young House Love! :)

    I LOVE BOSTON!
    Followed my boyfriend-at-the-time-now-husband here and fell in love with it. I couldn’t be happier about my move north.

    i LOVE SYDNEY! Just returned to the states after living there for 7 years – it represents my entire marriage to date (we married right before moving) & my sons who were both born there. It’s an adventure that I’m so proud of taking & will define our family for the rest of our lives.

    “I LOVE CHARLOTTE, NC”!
    It has all the offerings of a ‘big’ city, but is easy to navigate and is filled with kind people!

    I love New Orleans! We live an hour away and love spending our weekends there. There is no place quite like it and we’re so lucky to be nearby enough to visit frequently.

    I LOVE Columbia, MO!

    Perhaps my favorite place in MO, it is where my husband and I went to college, law school, and where our son was born. Best college town in America! MIZ – Go Tigers!

    I LOVE DC! DC has a little bit of everything nearby and has been home for just about my entire life. Plus, it’s just a gorgeous city and not too city-like!

    I love Washington, DC!

    It’s my hometown, how could I not love it?! As far as American cities go, San Diego is pretty spiffy too. I won’t get into international towns cause I love each and every one of them for their own unique charm.

    I LOVE LA & ATLANTA EQUALLY!

    Home is Los Angeles, but I’ve been in Atlanta for the past 8 months working and each day it grows more and more on me (to the point my boyfriend and I are considering the permanent move). They are wildly different cities, but both fantastic!

    I LOVE RALEIGH, NC!

    It’s where I met my hubby – Go NC State! – where we live, and where we’re raising our family. Not to mention it’s the best small city ever!

    I LOVE VENTURA!

    There’s nothing like walking on the beach in the morning then grabbing some street tacos in the afternoon and finishing off the day with sunset on the pier.

    I LOVE Chicago! Born and raised and lived there through my twenties then got married and moved out of state in my early thirties and miss it like crazy.

    I love Raleigh, NC! It’s a great place to raise a family and where I met my best friends. I never want to leave this city!

    I LOVE DC!! It’s the city I’ve spent my adult life in: eating, sight seeing, and falling in love. But Richmond is in sight… I’ve heard many good things!
