Happy November! I hope that yours is off to a better start than mine. We got nine inches of snow on the evening of October 30th. On Halloween, I took Jacob to the cousins’ house for trick-or-treating and the roads scared me so bad that we came home right after. AND. And we had no trick-or-treaters. Not one. The roads were so terrible in my parts that us country folk stayed home. Talk about a lonely Halloween.
To turn this mood around, let’s have a giveaway!
Do you remember this?
Well! The fabulous RanchLady took those bandana files and made some pretty incredible things.
Who is the RanchLady, you ask?
Catherine E. Suthard created a website at www.zazzle.com/RanchLady* originally to use the Zazzle site as a platform to jumpstart her career as an aspiring graphics artist. That was two years ago. Today, it’s one of the better known Country Western and Christian Country sites on Zazzle, recently choosen as one of Zazzle’s featured stores. Catherine creates from her heart, growing up spending summers on her uncle’s ranch in Eastern Washington State and from her lifelong Christian influence. Catherine says “ Some of the images used in my store are purchased for use from other sources, but I also do alot of my own vector images, and design and layout is so much fun for me. Graphics make me happy… it’s one of my passions, and a gift from God, so I want to use it. I hope it makes others happy too.”
Oh yes! RanchLady’s designs make me happy! She made this:
Istn’t that the cutest mug. Nothing says country like a crisp, red bandana.
And she also made these:
Is it wrong for me to want a pair of these in every colour of the rainbow? What can I say? I love me a pair of cute Keds. They just scream happiness.
And then. And then. And THEN the RanchLady spoke to the inner nerd in me and made this:
I have a serious love for school supplies. Paper clips, staplers, hole punchers, paper in every size and colour. And binders. Oh how a love a good binder. A cute binder just takes me back to the fifth grade on the first day of school. The excitement. The possibilities. The passing of notes. Ah yes, I love a cute, happy binder.
Well, RanchLady was so generous to offer one of her fabulous binders as a prize to one lucky reader at Mrs. Messy.
And what better time to shop around her store for Christmas cards, calendars, and other great gifts?
