How about a Sunday Surprise on Monday? Because we like to keep you guessing. Or maybe because we forgot?
Indulge us and get through this little story about how connections come full circle before you find out what the giveaway is!
Ten years ago in 1998 I flew to Portland from Atlanta for a regional convention. This was the first opportunity Leigh Anne and I really connected and got to know each other and I knew from that weekend that we would be more than business associates…we would be friends.
4 years later Leigh Anne invited me back to Portland to speak at a meeting. After that meeting, I took the train from Portland to Seattle to visit a friend who I went to college with back in the Midwest. It was in Seattle that I discovered an artist named Brian Andreas and some of his amazing creations.
Side note: An interesting connection…My girlfriend in Seattle is a native Iowa girl – and that’s where Brian is originally from.
Since then, I’ve purchased a very special print for my son that I gave him on his 16th birthday as well as his books and cards. This summer in Phoenix while we were working on this website, I shared the storypeople.com website with Leigh Anne. She ordered the same print for her daughter as she left home for college.
We both love words and love the way Brian Andreas puts words with his art. We’re so excited to share a boxed gift set of friendship cards with one lucky winner! Be sure to click on the link so you can read the stories on the cards.
These cards are a perfect way for you to connect with your girlfriends. There’s nothing better than opening your mailbox to find a card with a handwritten note from a special friend!
Special thanks to Brian Andreas and storypeople.com for sponsoring this fabulous giveaway!
Just leave a comment below by midnight PST on Wednesday, September 24th and we’ll have a random drawing and announce the random winner on Thursday, September 25th.
