12 Days of Giveaways: Giveaway #9

By

A few years ago I had big plans to start a little home-based business called “Lettered Olive” with my Mom.  Unfortunately, it turned out to be too expensive & time consuming for us both- but I’ve still got a couple of things we had hoped to sell in our online shop lying around the house. One of which is our giveaway item of the day!

It’s a double mat I designed that measures 20″ wide x 28″ tall.  The top mat has some neat little grooves cut into it so the black “core” shows through…

(Because it’s an odd size, it’ll need to be custom framed.)

The opening on the bottom mat is for a 5×7 print, and the quote I chose to have printed on it is one of my all-time favs…

    Love it and all the work you do! Visiting your site lifts my spirit and engages the (often dormant, sadly) creative side of my brain. Thank you and Happy Christmas!

    I wish I had such beatiful things just lying around 😉 I was just introduced to your blog and can’t get enough!

    Pick me. This is one of my all time favorite quotes as well and I already know where I would put it.

    This is so very true, a lesson learned in the past two days for me watching my 2 year old granddaughter enduring her first seizure in the ER.

    I love this! I have loved this quote long before George came out with his song (but I love George too, as any self-respecting 55 year-old woman would!) Please, choose me. Merry Christmas

    I think that would make a great wedding present with a picture of the bride and groom in it.
    Just so happens I need to get a gift.

    Inspirational sentiment that if I won, would regift to my mom in a homemade frame. I’d stick a photo of my mom and me (when I was 5mos old)–tattered blk/white photo from the 70s, or a wedding photo of my parents in NYC Dec 1968 winter wedding. My moms been under alot since dads stroke 1.5yrs ago—having this displayed in her office would inspire her everyday! Thx Layla for considering and happy holidays!

    So pretty and simple. I love the overall design and like so many others, would love to win this! Thanks for the chance!

    So sad your plans to be in business with your mom didn’t work out – but hopefully, soon, your time (and hers!) will be consumed with that little ‘un. I love the frame, and particularly love the sentiment. Happy Christmas you guys!

    I am working on a wall of family (black and white) photography and this would be perfect! Thanks for the great giveaway! Be Merry!
