BleuOiseau Photography giveaway


We are long overdue for a giveaway here on MakeHappy, aren't we? It's time to remedy that. I asked Ashleigh Coyner of BleuOiseau Photography if she would offer something from her Etsy shop for our giveaway today. She is treating one lucky winner to this 2012 bookmark calendar! Thanks, Ashleigh!
 
To enter this giveaway, leave a comment on this post by Tuesday November 22nd at 11:59pm Pacific time. I will randomly choose a winner the following morning. Be sure to include your email address if it's not linked to your commenting account. (If you win, but I can't contact you, I will choose another winner.) Read on for more information and photos. . .
 
 
This calendar includes twelve bookmark/calendars, one for each month, topped with a different original photograph taken by Ashleigh. 
 

You can use them as bookmarks:

Or hang them up—on your wall, on your fridge, next to your computer, next to your bed, in the bathroom, in the car. . . anywhere you need a quick reminder of the month's events. There is space to write notes for wordy reminders, or for your kids to draw pictures.

 
The coolest part—for me—is at the end of the month, you can trim off the calendar portion and use the photograph as a small framed gift or notecard. Hooray for fun repurposing!

There's no denying it. 2011 is almost over. We're all going to need new calendars before we know it. I already bought one of Ashleigh's photo calendars, so I'm set.

I also have Ashleigh's pumpkin photograph hanging on my wall as part of my fall decor right now,
 

her recycled paper pear notecards I use when I write to my husband's grandmother,
 
 
and her Candy Cane Love print waiting patiently to go up when the fall decor comes down.  
This is my favorite. I love this one!
 

So go browse around Ashleigh's shop. You're bound to find some gifts for those hard-to-buy-for people on your list. Check out BleuOiseau's Facebook page, too. And leave a comment below to enter the calendar giveaway!
