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.

    Can I love two?

    I love both Boston and Portland!

    I grew up in boston and it is so beautiful with so much history! Portland, where I live now, is one of the happiest, most laid back places I’ve been. Also- the FOOD!

    I LOVE SEATTLE! It’s where my hubby and I visited on our honeymoon redo, after our honeymoon to Jamaica was, well, less than awesome. But our trip to Seattle more than made up for it – we had a WONDERFUL time!

    I LOVE BLACKSBURG, VA! It’s the heart of Virginia Tech (GO HOKIES!…sorry John) and where I spent some of the absolute best years of my life with some of my very best friends.

    I LOVE LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND! It was the first stop on our honeymoon and my husband and I dream of living there someday. It is one of the most beautiful and culture filled places I’ve been too while also being small enough to feel like home. Surrounded by gorgeous mountains with snow even in the summer on a lake that is the perfect blue. I cannot wait to go back there!

    I LOVE DENVER, CO. We were recently blessed to be able to live there for 4 months last year with our 4 kids and loved what the city had to offer. The surrounding areas of Colorado offer so many beautiful day trips.

    I LOVE Buffalo- I live in DC (which is a great city) but most of my heart is home in Buffalo… although I left pieces of my heart in Paris, Boston, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, & Toronto

    I LOVE ATLANTA! It’s my home city, I love the food, and I love how Stone Mountain is the backdrop of the print. Beautiful!

    I love… several cities!

    Eeek, I’m torn. I live in Kansas City and really love what’s going on in KC at the moment. There’s some exciting stuff developing lately.

    My friends and I visit Chicago 2x a year, almost without fail. Love me some Chi-Town.

    I’ve visited Seattle twice and I love it, yes even the rain. It’s makes everything so green and when the rain stops there are 8 different kinds of clouds in the sky.

    Best way to foce me to choose? Make me the winner! Loveyaloveyerblog.

    I love Las Vegas!

    It’s where my husband and I honeymooned and have been back several times. I’m not a gambler, but the hotels are all so unique and there are new ones so often, there is always something new to see. Plus all the great shows and shopping.

    I LOVE KANSAS CITY!! I’ve lived here my whole life and this place just gets better and better! Fantastic restaurants, a fun arts & entertainment scene, plus it’s a relative unknown to most people outside of the midwest :)

    I love St. Louis!
    We moved back to Missouri last year after being away from home for over 7 years, so it’s nice to be back so close to our family.

    I LOVE MILWAUKEE!
    I grew up in the ‘burbs and love the city. It’s much cooler and more interesting than its rap, and has tons of support for the arts. Adore.

    I LOVE CHARLESTON, SC.
    Home sweet home. Being next to the ocean just calms me down and makes me happy. The fact that we have incredible food is a bonus.

    I LOVE CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA!! It’s where I went to school (undergrad & grad), where I met my fiance, and where 1/2 of my favorite blogger pair went to school! Also, I’m from the Richmond area so I would love the new print!

    I LOVE LONDON! I did an internship there in college – I felt like a such a grown-up going internationally by myself.

    I LOVE LONDON, ENGLAND! :) It’s my hometown, and last time I was there I was much more homesick than I thought I’d be, so now I’ve decided that if I ever have the urge to run away, that’s where I’m going. (Well, ok, so the weather is a bit of a shame, of course!)

    I love a lot of cities. Portland because I grew up there, Salt Lake because it is so close to us, Sydney because my husband went there on an LDS missin. Super cute prints in that etsy shop! Fun giveaway!

    I love Hamilton, Ontario! A gritty underdog of a city that is slowly transforming itself – and I’m proud to call it home.

    EDMONTON, ALBERTA! I moved here in Sept and even the winter hasn’t been that cold! Lots of outdoor fun and cool restaurants to try out… and then in the summer it’s the city of festivals! Can’t wait!
