Ever since I first began blogging in late 2007, I am still pleasantly surprised at the kindness and support from the people who come here to visit. All that I wanted was to have a site where it was calm and quiet - but not too calm and quiet – if you know what I mean.
And so, because I think you’re wonderful – and to thank you for coming by today - I’m holding another Giveaway. Because it’s the only thing I can think of to show my thanks.
This time I’m offering a set of my new photo greeting cards to three different winners. I hope to have them up on my etsy site later this weekend.
I love the tradition of sending cards.
A handmade card lets your recipient know that you were thinking of them today and that they are worthy of a little beauty.
Even if they don’t think they are.
Sometimes they just need to be reminded that you care.
More fun than receiving an e-mail, these cards are so easy to use. All you need is your recipient’s address and a 44 cent stamp. And then you just pop it in the mail.
And voila – in the time that it would take you to send 475,356,980,543 e-mails, the card will arrive at your recipient’s door.
And they will smile.
There are three sets from which to choose for this Giveaway.
Random Assortment
Havre de Grace
Birds
Sets include 4 assorted cards and matching envelopes, and ship with protective mylar sleeve in sturdy packaging. Photographs are printed on Kodak Endura archival paper and affixed to Strathmore acid free card stock with embossed edges.Cards measure 5" x 6.875" and the matching envelopes are 5.25" x 7.25".
THE RULES
Leave one comment, telling me which set you’d like to win as well as a way of getting in touch with you to let you know when you’ve won.
Anyone may enter.
Giveaway will continue through Sunday, January 30 at 6 PM. Three winners will be chosen using the integer generator at random.org. Winners will be announced Sunday night between 6-7 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Good luck!

These are all so lovely it is hard to choose, but I really do like the Havre de Grace. Also, I wanted to let you know how very touching your post was yesterday. I get a bit teary just thinking about it. Have a good weekend.
Stunning! I have been making an effort to send snail mail more frequently. It has been a really fun endeavor! The random assortment is my fav since it has flower pictures. I'm a flower loving kinda gal.

Birds, please and thank you VERY MUCH!!!!
The random assortment has three of my favorites of your photos, but the birds, oh the birds!! They remind me of my grandmother. :) But if I HAVE to chose one, the random assortment wins. Looooove looooove the bell tower and daisy.
I love them all but if I have to pick one it would be random. Love seeing your photography....it always makes me smile.
Birds please!!
What a difficult decision to make! They're all so beautiful! But, since I have to choose, I'll take the Havre de Grace if I win. I love your blog! I have recently renewed my passion for photography and am having a blast taking pics. Your blog is an inspiration and encourages me to get better. As a way to share my pics, I have just started to blog and am loving it! Thanks again!

I still love the fine art of writing real letters, along with all the tools - pens, paper, stamps, fun return address labels. The bird set is my favorite, but I'd be happy with ANY of them!
Hi Kate. Because I have not been able to take any great bird photos I would choose those. They are lovely!
Di
Ooooh! Yay, a chance to win some FAB photos & the opportunity to share them...double prizes! (know the movie?!)
Thank you for the chance to win. As many have mentioned it's hard to choose but if I must, I choose Havre de Grace. Lighthouses & seagulls...life is good.
Ooooh! They are all so gorgeous it's so hard to choose!
But I think Havre de Grace. Living on an island nation, it's hard not to have an affinity with lighthouse's!
I love the birds. Very pretty.
I love your cards and I would love to win the assortment. I send my grandma a handwritten note every Monday and I have for as long as I can remember.
Kate, your talents never cease to amaze me! What beautiful cards! I would have to say I love the "random" set the best.
i would love a set of the randoms. thank you in advance..... peg
I would choose the birds; your photos of our feathered friends are always so lovely!
Your 'I love' post yesterday was so moving! Thank you for sharing it. I'd take the birdies.....
birds, of course. and you are so sweet...
Well...I love to see beauty all around me, especially those flower. Given our proximity, I would have to choose Havre de Grace though!!
Love the Birds!
I'm at RottenMomBlog@gmail.com, should random.org decide to gift me!
So generous of you! XO
Your photos are always so lovely! I really adore the bird pics and I could see myself sending one or all of those to my mom to brighten her day...she loves birds!

awwwww! you're so nice to us!! I love all of your photography, however I am truly partial to the bird collection. Thank you! -Tammy
What a great prize! I would like the random set, because variety is the spice of life...
I agree Kate, cards are so much nicer to receive than just an email, and yours are lovely! I would pick Havre de Grace, I love the seaside theme of this group!
Happy Weekend!
Kat :)
One of my favorite ways to use my photographs is to make them into cards and send them to friends! I love your bird photos, so, I would choose the birds, if I would be lucky enough to win.
The birds, but they are all beautiful, I would not mind getting any of them!!!
God Bless~
Debbie Jean
Tweet! Tweet!! Tweeeeeeeet!!!
...and you already know where my nest is :>]]
If I were to win....I would pick the birds.
How exciting. I LOVE your photography and when I saw that you were having a give away I couldn't wait to read your whole post on my google reader I had to click thru. Your bird photography is soooo soft and romantic (so are your other ones), so that will be my choice if I win. It might be hard for me to send them to others tho. I might have to gaze at them for a while myself.
peace n abundance,
CheyAnne
Oh my, I would love to win any of them! But, as much as I love sending cards, if I were lucky enough to win, the cards would be framed and either sitting on a table or hanging on the wall.
Your post yesterday was lovely, Kate.
Really?????
oh, random if I had to pick.
you are so kind. and I said that loudly and all excited like.
Love your cards. And if I won them, I would frame them.
I love them all Kate. The Random Assortment would be the best win of all your works.
Stay warm. I scrolled thought your last few blogs and I love yoru textures and wonderful words.
I am in love with all your photographs, but the birds do tend to make my heart skip that beat like it does when you see something totally awesome and beautiful. Thank you so much for being so generous and sharing your art and life with us. ~chris
They turned out so lovely! I would be torn between the Birds and the Havre de Grace, just because. What a beautiful gesture to offer these up to your readers. xo ~Lili
Of course I love your photos - you really do have an eye - but the card border you've chosen is so beautiful!
I just want all your photos of your cardinals. Male and female, they are just spectacular!
love them all but the random set catches my eyes!
I love 'em all, but if I had to pick one it would be Havre de Grace.
Thanks!
I love them all, so random assortment would be best. I love your blog and can't wait to see what new photos you have for us to enjoy! And I <3 George!
Definately the birds although I'd love any of them, I have a few people that they would be perfect to send to. I love sending mail!
Wow Kate. Just WOW!
I adore the images and the embossing... which one, which one?
ALL... if I HAVE to choose, then Random Assortment.
:-)

Such beautiful cards Kate, those were the kind I was looking for but never found over here...so ended up with a beach bag for my giveaway ;-)
I'd have to say I'd love the random selection of cards and I know exactly who I'd use those cards on, my grandma...she is the only one I still write too by hand..as she has no idea how to use a computer. She'd love these..
You know where to find me ;-)
Have a wonderful weekend my friend and when you get time and if you want, of course, check out my giveaway!
Ohhhhhhh.....sigh...I love them all! If I have to pick...the birds are the ones....my dad loved his bird feeders and the feathered visitors to them. Now that he has retired and moved into an apartment....mailing these cards to him may help him smile, since he no longer has the opportunity to enjoy the feeders & birds!
Oh, the birdies, the birdies. Love them all but the birdies are sooooooooooo wonderful.
Thanks
They are all beautiful, but I'm a big bird fan!!!
I would love to have the Havre de Grace set - my newfound delightful place to visit!
ah - love them all ... but I think the birds are my favorite! Thanks for sharing!
I love the set of your birds. In fact you have inspired me and I now have four feeders and a birdbath out in our yard. And birds! Thank you!
Kate, dear, you have been infinitely successful at creating a lovely, peaceful place here for us to visit. I know I can count on kind words, beautiful images, and thoughtful sentiments.
I have a rose friend that I must contact the old-fashioned way, via a written note or phone call, if I want to tell him something. I find this totally charming.
I'm a bird geek, you remember. And your bird photos are the the BEST!!
Yesterday's post made me cry. What a tender thing to share.
I love the bird cards; all of your bird photography is inspired.
Oh the birds, the birds. Love them all though. (ebby43 at aol dot com)
Birds - so nice!
Oh, my...hard to pick one...Love the birds...also the random assortment...I couldn't choose between teh two!!
I like the random assortment.

How sweet to have a giveaway! I love all of your pictures... Choosing one group would be difficult. Yet, I am partial to the Birds group!
Oh I love them all but the birds are my absolute favorite.
Love this giveaway - gorgeous assortment and gorgeous cards. I really love your random cards. My email is connected to my account.
I love them all, but I think that the random assortment would be my first choice. Each is so beautiful and elegant!
my first choice is the birds, I am in love with the beautiful birds you have in your yard.
Oh it'd have to be the BIRDS - love them. I too love the tradition of sending cards, which postage wasn't getting so expensive, I would send care packages more too!
I hope this comment doesn't show up more than once--the word verification woudln't come up.
I love the BIRDS!! I send cards to shut-ins, and they'd love that--and so would I.
Thanks for the opportunity to win, Kate!
Love the birds and love your photos Thank you for all the great posts and pictures Mary
The birds please,but love them all. freetoyak400@yahoo.com
Oh Kate, these are gorgeous! So hard to choose... the Birds - cuz then I'd frame the fluffy cardinal and send out the others!! ;o)
I love them all, but would choose the random assortment!
I really like the birds but I also love the steeple so I will go random. Beautiful cards Kate. very creative!
Love the birds, enjoy your blog.
It is very peaceful. I guess I need a camera. It like that old saying, Its not what you look at that matters, it is what you see.
I love the random pictures.
Just found your blog; love hearing about George and being inspired by your work!
I like the Random Assort, although they all look to be very nice. I am thankful I cameupon your site, it's in my list of favs!
I would love to win the Assortment! Your photos always awe me!!!!!!
Definately the Birds Kate. I just so love all your gorgeous photos of birds and the settings you choose.
Cheers
Lynne
I don't need to win, I already have because the woman who takes these fantastic, uplifting, gorgeous photo's is my big sister. Loveyameanit!
I LOVE them all my friend .... but if I had to choose .... I would have to choose the birds .... oh how they steal my heart!
And your sissy left such a wonderful comment :) What a sweet sissy you have.
I love the random assortment because I'm random myself! =)
Any one of the three would be just fine with me! Reading your blog makes me smile. every.single.time.
Thank you!
I could never choose, so I just rolled a die. Number one it is. Thanks Kate!
~Andrea~
Oh, they are all beautiful but if I must choose, I think I would pick Havre de Grace. I'm not far from there and I love visiting every once in awhile. Thank you. Enjoy your site and wonderful photographs.
I love giving and receiving handwritten notes and letters.
They are all so beautiful but if I had to pick one set it would be the random selection.
Beautiful giveaway.
I would love the birds.
I honestly love each and every set. They're all beautiful! I love hand written notes (sending & receiving). Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
I couldn't agree with you more. I love old fashioned cards and who doesn't like to receive one unexpectedly in the mail. I love all your images, so if I had to choose, it would be the Birds, followed by the Havre de Grace set. Those chirpy little puff balls of colour just steal my heart.
xoxo
Happy Sunday.
The birds are beautiful! They are all beautiful!
Such a tough decision as they're all so gorgeous, but I guess I would go with the random assortment. Kate, I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading your blog! It's always such a joy to read....thank you.
The birds! I love your entire collection, though!
Oh well .. late to the party
Neat giveaway. Very pretty cards.
sorry I missed this...I will be looking for them at your shop!
xo
Where do you order your cards from? And do you attach/glue your prints to the cards? Can you please let me know via e-mail? I send out cards with my (printed) photos attached to the cards--and I use card stock. Yours look very professional and, of course, beautiful.
