A photo journal comprised of my thoughts on motherhood and other life happenings, as well as some of professional work as a photographer. Southern California is home.
I’ve stated many times in the past that I truly believe we all do the best we can as moms. Making ends meet is not always easy and I think we all understand the role of being a mother to be synonymous with sacrifice.
Elin, owner of My Own Art, gave up her career in architecture for full time motherhood. Still driven to create, Elin launched her own online business, My Own Art. Taking oridnary photographs, Elin transforms images into something just down right rad if you ask me.
Truth be told, I’m not usually one to jump on the lets alter the photograph train as I’m a wanna-be photographer at heart. I hesitated in taking on this giveaway. But if I didn’t LOVE the final outcome, this post would have never been written. I was taken back when Elin sent the completed images. I printed them on my own and picked a simple modern frame and voila, here you have it. Complete and utter awesomeness.
Want your own slice of awesome? Elin is giving away one custom digital illustration.
There’s more than one way to enter:
1. Visit Elin’s website and tell me what style you would chose if you win.
2. “Like” Elin’s facebook page and leave me an additional comment, for an additional entry, stating that you are now a fan of My Own Art on Facebook.
3. Are you a facebook whore? “Like” The Stork & The Beanstalk on facebook, leave me a comment stating you became a fan, and voila, you get an additional entry. Isn’t this fun? (side note: My facebook page is brand spankin’ new. Don’t think I’m uncool for not having a lot of fans, aight?!)
4. Follow @thestorkandthebeanstalk on Instagram, leave a comment here with your instagram ID, and you just got yourself another opportunity to win.
That’s four different ways to enter and four different ways to win. I’ll announce the winner here, two weeks from day (Christmas day). Good luck!

It’s December 1st and I don’t know about you, but Christmas has been looming over my head for the past week or so. It’s like a whole separate to do list: think of what to get people, go out and get it or order it online, wrap it, drop it off at the post office, think of what I want, think of what the kids need, decide on a Christmas card to send out, send out Christmas cards, buy a Christmas tree, decorate a Christmas tree. My mind is spinning, can you tell? Anyway, I’ve thrown out quite a few discount codes over the past month or so and I thought it’d be helpful to compile them all in one place to make online shopping a little easier. I hope these discounts are useful and that you can check a few people off your list from these awesome stores/companies below. There are some really cool people behind these stores/companies and I’m happy to support each and every one of them. So with no further adieu, get to shopping. And check some peeps off your list. It will feel so good, won’t it? I love putting that line through things. Or that check in the box. I’m really not a type A, but that sure makes me sound like one doesn’t it?
