***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 [MODESTO CA.]” I just love where I live it is California but I feel like I live in a great small town. We still have Christmas Parades and 4th of July Parades that my daughter’s cheer squad cheers threw downtown. It’s not perfect the job market has been hit pretty hard but it a family town. Our town just posted a Central Valley Modesto Shake videos it was really fun!!!

It’s such a fun city because it has some of the perks of a larger city but is in the heart of the south so its easier to find soul food, southern hospitality, and warm weather!

It’s where I first lived “on my own” after college, had my first real job, met my husband, owned my first row home (to which I did a LOT of DIY projects…including painting my front door an awesome (and bold!) purplish-blue) and had the best time with friends. *sigh* I miss it!

SD says
I love Washington, DC.
Yes, yes probably people around the country hate it currently but I am a political junkie and every time I am anywhere ‘within the beltway’, I am so excited…the whole feeling of being within those huge buildings, sirens of a security detail, the Smithsonian Museums, Kennedy Center, Potomac, old town Alexandria and Georgetown…oh I can never stop gushing about it. History and drama all around

I bet there aren’t many people who saw that, but I will always have a soft spot for the city where I was born and went to college. Go Red Wings!

I LOVE MASON CITY, IA! Aka, my hometown, and the inspiration for The Music Man. Which if you’ve never seen, you should totally rent it. We had to watch it at least 15 times throughout my elementary/middle school years :).
