Giveaway! Baby Bird & Nest Art...

GIVEAWAY TIME!!!
~Sweet Springtime Bird and Nest~
Two original pen and ink illustrations on fabric!
Please leave a comment on this post to enter.
Name will be selected on February 14th!


I know our feathered friends will soon be
building cozy nests...
I feel as if our winter "nest" is getting a touch
of cabin fever... yet another snow "event" on the way.
"Event" does make it sound a bit more chipper...
...I think it's time to begin sketching nests,
songbirds and all things fresh & spring-like!
Ooodles of new sketches will be in my Etsy shop soon!
Hope you have a wonderful week~

    Hi Michelle! I would love to be in your giveaway drawing. Maybe I'll have better luck at winning one of your fantastic fabric sketches than I do catching them on Etsy!!

    Hugs,
    Robin
