Knowing that travel is a far-off dream at best, I would like to enlist you, my blog readers to take me to interesting places. Your backyard, local landmark, the beach, farmer's market, your studio or stitching corner, Mt. Rushmore, the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, a coffee shop in Berlin, a needlework shop in middle USA...
Pose your handheld device, phone, laptop, or other electronic surfing device with my blog header filling the screen in the location(s) of your choosing, then take a picture and send it to me.
Most photos will be posted here on this new page (I reserve the right to with hold any photos from being posted for any reason whatsoever).
If your photo is in accordance with my stated rules, I will reward you with a copy of my exclusive pattern, I Sew'd My Heart.
This contest is more about the place than the who, so although I will keep track in my own records who sent me what photos, they will be posted here by location only (and optional title, if you choose to give your photo a title).
If you are like me, and don't own a portable internet device, then enlist a friend or family member to help you out! I gave a little thought to the idea of a print-out of my blog header placed in a photo, but quite honestly, it is more about the idea that MY BLOG was OPEN and LIVE at the very moment the photo was taken. Silly me. I realize that you may be limited to wi-fi hot spots and cell tower proximity and such, but this will just challenge your creative juices, eh?
Most of all, have fun with this! No rules, no time limit, just a chance to show off your favorite spots and to see where around the world others might be peeking into my life in Oregon.
