“how adorable! i would love to give these to my daughter to share with her friends on valentine’s day!”

Just in time for valentine’s day, my friend Teri Dimalanta, owner of giddy giddy, is giving away this adorable set of Valentines. Each card has a doll face wearing and displaying a giddy giddy hand made hair clip.

Winner can choose 6 hair accessories of his/her choice to go along with the Valentine’s cards.
But wait, there’s more!

The set also includes one “tra la la” hair clip holder.

Anna and I LOVE giddygiddy products. And we love Teri! She has always supplied us with all the clips we want. She is soooo talented and thoughtful. Her illustrations and color choices are so adorable together. (And I just have to say: giddygiddy is the original – you might see duplicates of Teri’s work all over etsy, but she was the first.) :)

Winner chosen Sunday at 8pm PST.
Only comments placed on the blog will be entered. If you are reading this on the Tara Whitney fan page on facebook, click here to comment.

I hope you win!
If you do, you will be sooooo giddy. :)

PERMANENT (GO/venture2 : day4)

All I could think, when I thought of the word PERMANENT was how UN-permanent everything really is. I was struggling to find something to photograph, and I didn’t want to stoop to the very permanent stain on my white quilt. But I knew there had to be something. And then I thought of it. The connection we have with each other. We may not always be together, and we may not always like each other, but there is a permanent line of connection and love and knowing that runs between us and always will.

For the rest of the challenge, go here.

The beautiful and talented and energizing and thoughtful Kal Barteski is doing a week-long inspiration fest over on her blog called GO/Venture. Together with her partner in crime, Elise Blaha, they come up with a word prompt for the day and then post some type of inspiration piece. Yesterday the prompt was INVISIBLE, and Kal used this photo with my permission and GREATEST HONOR. And get this, she sketched the photo from memory, then scanned and placed her sketch over the top of my image. I love how it all lined up.

Several people are joining in on the fun tomorrow, or so I hear.

I just might be one of them.
