Favor!

So this past weekend, I helped 'host' my friend Courtney's shower.   Please don't tell her, but I really didn't do too much.  I fear, if she finds this out, she'll recall this super cute favor, which is sooo worthy of a blog post in and of itself.   Why yes, I will gladly make vegetable pizza again for something like this!

I Purchased Artwork.

I bought this off Etsy.  It combines several things I love.  I am now looking for a complimentary piece that features a caterpillar and a glass of wine (for balance).

This was a 'pay it forward' piece.  The artist only charged me shipping ($2.50) and only asked for a good deed for someone else in return.  I am not sure the going rate for artwork or what one should expect to pay for certain pieces (considering training, supplies, time put in, etc.), but I am confident this was a steal.

However, I will do a brief 'pay it backward' and feature this artist on my blog.  I really like the piece I purchased, and it looks like she has some other very nice pieces on her website.  Alane Holsteen, please note that, with this blog post, your work is being exposed to an audience of an additional five people (one of whom happens to be my own mother). 

I am still looking for a suggestion for my 'good deed' that I should do for another individual.
