George's latest photo news

As I've mentioned before on here, my husband, George, is a pretty good photographer.  He's been taking pics for years and has had his photos published and won and placed in some contests.  His latest 'news' is that one of his photos was named in Popular Photograhy's winners of their 2014 Annual Readers Photo Contest.  This is the biggest contest the site holds each year.  George has had a couple of photos published in the magazine before but it's fun to see one on their site.  Here's the main page for anyone wanting to check through all of the winners.  There's a little bit of background on each photo from the photographer.  Here's the page with George's pic or you can just look below.  Great way to start 2015.

 

Lilie Green's 10th Anniversary-Stravaganza + First-Ever Giveaway

A blog that I've been following, Lilie Green, is having a 10th anniversary give-away that sounds too good not to share!   The prize is, in Lilie's words, "a bead necklace from my color story collection + a Parisian postcard + delectable French bonbons + any other sparkly notions i can fit in the envelope."

All you have to do to enter is to leave a note in her comment section stating the name of your favorite book and, if you'd like, give a reason(s) why you like it.

Lilie is multi-talented.  Besides her beautiful and often mouth-watering photography, she's also a writer and a jewelry-maker.  Her jewelry is available on Etsy under the name 'enroute.'

She's also quite the traveler and is currently living in Paris.  Ah, life must be very good, indeed!
