My Prize

This is a little over due, but I wanted to share with you that about a month ago, I entered (an won) a giveaway over at Design Ties. My prize arrived late last week and I couldn't be more thrilled.


The girls (Kelly & Victoria) put together an awesome interview with one of my all time favorite designers, the fabulous Mr. Jamie Drake. In addition to the interview, Mr. Drake was gracious enough to offer an autographed copy of his book. And, truth be told, I responded to the post with a comment not really because of the giveaway, but because the interview was the best I've read thus far about Mr. Drake and I really wanted to let the girls now how much I appreciated their efforts. Then, low and behold....I won! How cool is that? This was my first giveaway win and I am just over the moon excited to have a note from Mr. Drake himself on the inside cover of his awe inspiring book.

Thanks Kelly & Victoria! You gals rock!

If you haven't been introduced to Design Ties, do pop over and pay them a visit. Tons of design ideas, tips, inspiration, etc.

Hello Ann!
I'm so glad that you've received your book and that you're "over the moon excited"!! I'm sure you'll hear from Kelly soon saying the exact same thing - she's at her cottage right now struggling with dial-up so avoiding the internet! Haha! I should say... Kelly did all the work with this giveaway, connecting with Jamie Drake and arranging for the signed copy of the book. She did a fantabulous job!!!
Thanks for being a regular reader of DesignTies!

Great to hear that you're happy with your prize, Ann :-) Isn't Jamie's book fabulous?! I love everything he does -- he really is the King of Colour!!

I was thrilled when Jamie agreed to do the interview with me. Not only because it gave me the opportunity to learn more about his work, but I also learned a bit about Jamie himself. He's a pretty cool guy :-) And it was great to share what I learned about Jamie with our DesignTies readers :-)

Thanks for the shout out, and for being a regular visitor to our blog. As Victoria mentioned, I'm stuck with dial-up at the cottage for a lot of the time in the summer, so I'm not able to do much blog visiting and hardly any commenting. I haven't forgotten my blog buddies, I just don't have the patience to wait for dial-up!!

Enjoy your book!! :-)
