I have been a picture taker all of my life but I didn't call myself a semi-photographer until about 10 years ago. I love to travel and people often ask how my vacations were. I always have to answer "I don't know, I haven't looked at the photos yet".
Visit my
store at AiFactory for my textures I have for sale. Thanks!

One World One Heart

Comments are now closed.  Thank you to all who entered.  
  The winner will be posted shortly.
My other blog is riding on the magic carpet of the one world one heart.  It's a yearly event that helps bring bloggers together from around the world.  I am also giving away a "crafty" item on my other blog but wanted to share something with you here also.  You can read all about it on Lisa's blog.
Lisa has put together another great event this year.


Here's my gift to one lucky winner.
A 11x14 signed by me print of Canyon De Chelly National Monument.

Hope you enjoy the ride as much as I am.  Just leave a comment for a chance to win.
The drawing will be held on February 16th.
Visit my other blog for another giveaway too!
Good luck and it was nice to meet you!
Monica
