This first contest is a great one. Mary of MagicIsland will be giving away a 5×7 print ($12 value) from her shop, and the winner can pick the print that they want!
So what are the rules? It’s easy! Visit MagicIsland, then leave a comment here with the link to your favorite piece in her shop, and why you like it! Don’t forget to leave your email address at all. If I can’t contact you, you can’t win.
Get a bonus entry! Sign up for my newsletter. I use the newsletter to keep you aware of special sales going on, blog contests, etc. I will not abuse the list to spam you all of the time, and I will not share your email address with anyone. Just click here to sign up.
The winner will be drawn on April 15th and will be announced on this blog, as well as being contacted by email. Good luck!

Well my first monthly blog contest is done, and the response was so much more than I had expected! There were 57 entrants. I decided to use a totally “random” way of picking the winner.
