holy smokes kids, make sure you’re sitting down… I’M DOIN A GIVEAWAY!
i don’t do anything, ANYTHING unless it pulls at my heartstrings. i need to be emotionally invested in order to sign on and invest myself, ya know? and y’all, this one pulls and tugs and has me entirely in its unrelenting grip. it hurts so good.
i’m a sucker for original art… pieces that are fresh and cool and authentic… work that i can proudly display in my house, walk past it nineteen hundred times a day and be blown away each time i look at it because it is that damn amazing.
photography has become more of a priority to me since the magoo was born. the emphasis on capturing and then celebrating a single moment in time resonates with me deeply.
enter my friends, megan and gregg deal of modern bird studios, who put “Your Life In Art.”
Gregg and his wife Megan know that most modern art available is enormously expensive or mass produced and impersonal. Consequently, they have decided to expand this new style of art to those who have the same appreciation for hip, modern style and who desire to have something more personal to them to enrich their homes.
after recently meeting megan at an event, falling in love, smacking her on the ass and thanking her for showcasing me in a modern bird interview, i said i would LOVE to do a GIVEAWAY for them.
then they took this…
and turned it into this…
and i gave it a home on my favorite bookshelf…
i know… I KNOW!!! so you want one, right?

**********
ever been to a party or just a small gathering wherein you partake in the consumption of alcoholic beverages???
i know, totally redundant question after a long holiday weekend…
even still, after consuming 2-3 new and tasty brews or glasses of vino (or both), have you ever found yourself the following morning in a cotton-mouthed-advil-needing haze, then thought, “damn, i wish i could remember the name of that beer/wine!!!”
so how friggin appropriate is it to have this killer GIVEAWAY right after a fantastic weekend of indulgences, whether it be of the food or beverage kind?!?!
with that being said, i present you with the official “RATE THAT BOTTLE” GIVEAWAY!!!
(((wild applause and cheering)))
the fantastic folks at knockknock.biz, those who “put the fun in functional,” have shared with me a bit of their awesome biz to share with you.
first up we have the “Rate that Wine” notepad… (photographed by your’s truly)…
Rate that Wine
and then we have the “Rate that Beer” notepad… (again, photographed by your most beloved bottle lover)…
Rate that Beer
each notepad provides you, the beverage consumer, with all sorts of categories from “food pairings” to “color” and “aroma.”
so whether you are the unsophisticated wino, like me, who would giggle while circling “bitter in the swallow,” or the knowledgeable beer connoisseur like my husband, who would fully appreciate the “head” and “mouthfeel” and “finish” categories… this handy-dandy notepad is for everyone.
and with the holidays already upon us, these notepads would make for a fantastic stocking-stuffer!!!
so here are THE RULES…
1) leave a comment below telling me a cotton-mouthed story in which you couldn’t remember the name (or cute label) of a tasty beverage you once consumed and wish you had.
2) if you’re not of the alcohol-consuming-kind, i encourage you to take a gander at knockknock.biz and leave a comment below about which notepad (if these two don’t rev your engines) would best suit your needs.
the contest will close on thursday at 5 pm EST, with a winner being selected at random. the winner, male or female, will then have THEIR CHOICE of which notepad they would like… “Rate that Wine” or “Rate that Beer.”
good luck!!!
Have a Sip
