[sunshinecindy]

If you haven't checked it out Loxly Gallery (http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=149746&u=140900&m=12245&urllink=&afftrack=&afftrack=#UID)has some beautiful prints. I'm needing to buy a nice one for my mom, but have no clue which one to buy. Your mission, should you accept it, is to help me pick out a pic for my mom. So, todays contest is to pick a picture and post in here and tell me why you picked it. If you don't know how to post the pic, just describe it and put up its link.

Same rules apply. Contest ends at midnight tonight.

I found the one I would pick. Hopefully, I am not completly wrong, but I remember a night when we had to guess a certain lullabye, and it was of irish decent...can't remember the actual song at all. because of that, I am hoping there is some king of irish background in the family. I chose the celtic letter c. it is on number 11 out of 40 of the celtic prints. and it is the letter c...this way she will always remember it came from her Cindy. here is the link. http://loxlygallery.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_86&sort=20a&page=2 if you're not irish...and just laughing at this post...then i'm sorry and I can pick a different one. I wish I knew how to post this the right way

[PSL1013]

I picked this one because it would remind her of you every time she looked at it, knowing how much you love wine! :heart:

A butterfly, because I associate them with hope, and having lost a child in the past year, she could use some hope.

I like Path on Ponquogue. I would think it would make her relaxed and think of walking to the beach to read a good book.

[Alice28]

beautiful prints indeed- I like this one- the still of the hummingbird, the orange of the flower and the sort of blurred background make for a fantastic piece of artwork!
