Trisha Brink Design: Giveaway

Grandiflora Home and Garden in Lynden, Washington

& my brick and mortar shop

There were two color choices:

I personally like the perkier version for my Autumn Decor, but I know that there are those of you out there who LOVE the Candy Corn colored sign better.

The best part is that you could choose your color!

The hardest part is...

... I could only pick one winner from 19 entries.

Which I did by using the ever handy Post-It Note, my talents at folding, a bowl

a little jumbly shuffling.

(Nothing too complicated here folks!)

LOL

SO,

without further hesitation....

the

WINNER

is.......

Tricia J.!!!!

Ok,

from one Trisha to another Tricia,

Congrats!!

Tricia, if you could send me an email here:

to let me know which of the colors you would prefer,

I can then connect with you to set up a pick up time at Grandiflora!

Thanks for playing along everybody, and stay tuned for more giveaways to come....

So,

I thought I might head out to the corn maze later for a celebration lap....

anyone want to join me?

I hear they've come up with a really difficult maze this year!

LOL

>>>>------------------>

P.S.

Don't forget, you can order this sign print through my Etsy shop

Grandiflora Home and Garden in Lynden, Washington

where if you enter the coupon code

ILUVFALL20

you'll receive 20% off your entire order on all my signs and photos!

you can pop into

and find one of these signs at an already

reduced price!

Ain't that grand?!

Either way, you can all be winners!

Congrats again to

Tricia,

and thanks again to all who ventured over here and entered.

Like I said before,

stay tuned for more giveaways soon.....

tell your friends too!

Weekend Autumn Sign Giveaway Contest, Enter To Win!

Hello + Hello!

Just wanted to stop in and say happy (Autumn) weekend!

Isn't it miraculous how things change so quickly sometimes?

I feel like it was just August, and now September is almost over.

I love September here in the Pacific Northwest!

It's almost always sunny & dry...but not too hot.

Perfection.

Oh well, October brings more rain...but all the festivities of Fall too.

I am looking forward to visiting my cousin's

Pumpkin Patch

eating fresh pie!

I love to wander in the corn maze and apple fields with my boys,

and drink their fresh apple cider.

If you are local & happen to get the chance, you simply must visit their farm called

Stoney Ridge Farm in Everson Washington

I must admit, few places really impress me the way I want to be swept off my feet.

I want it all when I go for an outing...I think that is because I'm a creative person.

I can guarentee you that this is

THE

Pumpkin Farm to Top All Pumpkin Farms!

Debbie

(my cousin)

has thought of everything!

(and her hard working surrounding family has helped her to make it a reality)

I often tell people that if they like the way that our family shop

Grandiflora Home and Garden

is, then they will

LOVE

her pumpkin farm!!!

We come from the same creative hard working stock...and you can tell.

Stoney Ridge is not to be missed.

The animals, the hay rides & the friendly workers are just the tip of the iceberg.

How about making it a day?

Head to Grandiflora for some shopping, and then top your day off with a visit to their cool farm?!

I think you would be in

Autumn Bliss!

They open next week Thursday October the 4th.

>>>-------------->

NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY!

What is your favorite part about Autumn?

I like all the things listed in the Autumn Sign I've made.

If you do too...then leave me a comment below

you'll be entered to win one of my 8 x 10 Autumn signs.

They come in perky color (above)

candy corn color (below)

This contest will last through the weekend until

Monday morning October 1st at 9 AM

(Pacific Standard Time)

at which time I will choose and announce a winner at random.

If you are the winner, I will send you this sign no matter where you live!

(or if you are a local, you can pick it up at Grandiflora)

Also note: your sign will NOT have my T.B.D. watermark embedded into it.

Good luck to you,

and make sure you leave your comment below to be entered to win

your choice of color ways:

I look forward to hearing about your favorite things to do in the Autumn!

Cheers my friends & once again,

Happy Weekend!!

New Year + New Work = Happy You for a GIVEAWAY!

Hey all!

It's true....I am a happy camper today!

2011 has been such a lovely year.

Even just in the last bit of it, I've been blessed to come up with yet another idea to fulfill.

I've always enjoyed signs.

How about you?

As a senior in High School I thought I'd go to college to become involved in advertising.

Once I made it into the college realm, I decided I didn't really want to do the nose to the grindstone sort of work in advertising

(insert picture of Jerry McGuire loosing it here.)

I really wanted to work with the decorative aspect of it.

That's when I started really taking art seriously.

Once enrolled at The Art Institute of Seattle,

I had to pick an artistic pathway.

As I'd been personally addicted to home decor magazines, I decided to go into

Residential Interior Design.

What HARD work it was!

Drafting (before Computer Cad was available...yeah...I'm that old!)

wasn't any fun to me. I loved the part where we picked out patterns, styles, and "decorated" the buildings we drafted.

I now realize that all the work I did in college was a way to lead me here.

That's where my new endeavor begins....

I have a real "love" interest in graphic design (maybe I should've gone into this?) and so I've been playing around with verbage and home decor.

As you know we sell signs at our brick and mortar shop

so it isn't that difficult to know what folks are looking for in the way of sayings.

Most people don't walk in looking to buy a sign....it's usually something they never knew they wanted until it was staring them in the face!

I've been less than satisfied by the selection in the mass produced market for signage.

I work with a lovely man to produce some really great traditional signs for the store.

However,

I was really looking to find a bit more of a modern edge for our sign selection.

After researching a few different venues, I realized that I could do this myself!

I mean, why not?

So, I armed myself with some new tools and stuck my neck out there

where it feels a little drafty and risky.

eeeeeeeeeeek!

SO, NOW YOU CAN FIND THESE PRINTS FOR SALE

HERE

We'll see what happens right?

The worse that can happen is that I fail miserably....and look like a dork but....

I guess it's better to try and fail, then to sit stagnant and wish a year from now that I'd had more guts.

This year has presented its challenges....but all in all I've felt very Blessed.

I'm thrilled to start new adventures but one must always remember....

that even though all this fun work is well......so much FUN!

My family is what comes first.

I enter this new adventure with many trepidations and silly quirks....

but with excitement and giggles too!

It's all about the balance right?

Just wanted to get your opinion....what do you think of these personalized signs?

I was thinking about offering these on my Etsy site

Grandiflora Home and Garden

as well.

Let me know what you think.

I was thinking something like fifteen bucks for an 8x8 personalized print?

(plus shipping)

Since you guys are such good sports at helping me out, I'd like to offer

a giveaway

right here on my blog for your choice of one of these 8x8 prints.

You could even choose the personalized family print.

Also choose which finish you prefer: matte or glossy.

(NOTE: My shop watermark will be removed from the sign you win.)

I would ship it right to your little door just in time for a fresh new look this New Year!

All you need to do is leave me a comment right here with your

OWN FAVORITE SAYING OR QUOTE.

(yep that's right, I want NEW ideas for NEW signs!)

Please also leave me a little bit of feedback or constructive criticism.

I've got tough skin, so go for it!

I look forward to hearing from you and getting your entries.

Winner will be randomly pulled on Saturday January 7th, and shortly thereafter announced here on the blog.

(Remember: you can comment here on blogger even if you're an anonymous user without a blog yourself. Just be sure to sign your first name and last initial in your actual post.)

Thanks in advance for participating, and be watching for more to come from this wild hair I've suddenly entertained!

I just love you guys, you mean so much to me!

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEARS

my friends.

May you sincerely be blessed.

Love,

Trish

Winning is Such Sweet Poetry!

When I was wondering where to turn next for inspiration in Photography....

I had the brilliant idea of turning to those I trust on the subject best:

YOU, my faithful Blogger Buddies!

I trust you beyond measure....I know that if you want to see a photo of something....

then there are others just like you out there somewhere!

I have to say I was BLOWN AWAY by the awesome response that I received from you!

I have so many ideas brimming in my head right now....

I want to take 10 field trips!

First things first however, I need to announce the winner of my

Set of 4 Prints Giveaway.

Because I am so impressed with all the suggestions each of you gave me....I'm not going to judge you based on content.....how can I compare the suggestions??? They were each so great!

However, I CAN compare how they were given....and seriously...you'll all have to agree....or at least I think you will after you read this submission....that this was the winner head and shoulders above the rest.

Congratulations to I Am Me who writes:

A photo of a butterfly drinking from a vibrant field of flowers,
A photo of green grass gracefully drizzled in a spring shower;

For spring is dripping in sweetness.

A picture of two song birds nestled in their love,

A picture of two blurred human love birds on a sun stroked stroll through an enchanted park;

For spring brings out the mating things and makes the heartbeats have drum rolls.

A captured moment of empty once filled eggshells in a nest now broken in hatched pieces,

A captured moment of a newly adopted fish, kitten, puppy or other pet;

For spring is about new beginnings

A photograph of elegant books paired with flip-flops and a sunhat,

A photograph of a sundress hanging in a window as it mingles with the sunshine and the spring bright curtains;

For spring whispers of the coming summer.

A photo of a gardener’s spade beside a newly planted flower with fresh soil richly proclaiming its new transplanted presence to its current home,

A photo of strawberry shortcake on rose patterned plates,

A photo of vintage dancing shoes upon a lovely floor;

For spring is a celebration.

A picture of two twig-boats racing on their way upon a moving stream,

A picture of unopened love letters upon a dresser top,

And, a picture perfect passport holding tickets nestled with a large jar of coins beside the kitchen sink,

For spring is a time of anticipation.

I have to say...I was SO impressed with the way this submission was entered....that I teared up!

Such beauty in words....

I hope my photos can relay this beauty...

it's alot of pressure to think they may be able to....

but I am ON IT!

Thank-you again everyone for entering....and especially to

Sarah ( I Am Me)

Odds & Ends With Crafts & Pens Blog

You are all such an inspiration to me....

and I want to thank-you for all your

love and support.

I appreciate it more than you may know....some of you know what it is like to have many medical bills to pay, and I'll be honest with you....God has blessed me with these creative talents to earn extra money to make ends meet while still being able to stay at home with my little one.

Your suggestions, kind mentions on your blogs, & support have helped me to provide for our older son Tristan's Medical help.

YOU TRULY ARE APPRECIATED!!!

Blessings my dear friends,

Trish

P.S. Sarah, send me an email at trishabrinkdesign@comcast.net to get started on claiming your prize!

Shabby Apple Dress Giveaway!!!

Sorry, this giveaway is now closed.

For some time now, I've been getting requests from various companies to do giveaways on my blog in exchange for a plug (or advertising if you will).

Naturally I knew you would love to be able to get free things....but none of the giveaways really "fit" before now.

Anyway,

That being said, Heather from

approached me last week and asked if my blog followers would be interested in winning a free women's dress, little girl's dress, or maternity dress.

I have to admit, I'd never heard of
