My Cottage

A Whimsical Interpretation
As drawn by my friend Amy over at

The other day I told Amy how much I enjoyed her sketches. 
You can view several on her blog.
A few days later, she surprised me with a drawing of my own cottage.

She worked from this photo.
Her whimsical interpretation of my home.

A-dor-able.
I can't wait to get this and frame and hang on my wall.

Now here is the really good part....

She's having a giveaway right now. 
You can win a drawing of your home done by Amy.
Isn't that the best?

Click on the her blog name below to go to her blog and register.
Good Luck!

Oh! That's so pretty!
I love it. I'll have to drop over to her blog!
But I think she would need some "magic" to make my little house look that nice! :)
