A Few Things

Farewell, my sweet lady! She was the first of my series of women portraits and still my favorite, and now she is going to live with the lovely and talented Sarah of theothermousie in the UK. I couldn't be happier that she found a good home!!

And take a look at this colorful bunch! I won a giveaway at Artsyville and received a wonderful little package of bookmarks, gift tags, cards and bottle tags. Thank you, Aimee, I love it all!!
Speaking of giveaways, while I was on vacation, I won two big ones over at Januarywish: 250 free printed greeting cards and 500 free business cards from Uprinting.com. Now I just have to decide which image to use and how to design them. Thank you Melissa! I feel like the luckiest girl!!

Now, to close, a few pictures from our evening out last night. We visited the rooftop bar we had discovered a few weeks ago and sat, sipping a beer and eating some delicious calamari (with a curry mayonnaise, which we weren't too sure about at first, but ended up loving!) and looking out on the Savannah river and our huge port. We normally aren't bar people at all, but the view is so amazing that we are planning to make this a weekly ritual - such a wonderful and relaxing spot!!

Daniel took this really (really!) unflattering photo of me eating, but when I looked closely, I loved the reflection in my sunglasses. (Click on any of the photos to see them bigger.)
Some of you may not like this view, but there's something about commercial ports that Daniel and I both love - the big container ships, the huge cranes, even the warehouses.
Tug boats going out to meet a cargo ship.



Just as we were leaving a big cargo ship came into the harbor with containers from Hamburg - a little greeting from my home country.

Later at home relaxing with the critters and a good book...
Hope you all had a fun and inspiring weekend!
