A Call to Action! {Giveaway}


If you follow me on Instagram, you saw a sneak peak of this photo a couple days ago. I love this simple kind of art that isn't too detailed... I just love it, and luckily for me, I have a husband who is amazing at this stuff! He sketched this, and then scanned it into photoshop and created this beautiful thing! I am absolutely in love with it and will be printing it out and framed soon! I actually got a bigger response to this than I was expecting, and we actually discussed opening our Etsy shop back up, but for right now, we just aren't ready for all the commitment and time that goes with that. As some of you know though, I recently passed 400 GFC followers (by the way, you guys are so awesome!) and was thinking of a giveaway, and the idea for this one kind of just fell into my lap. So the winner of this giveaway will get a custom digital print similar to this one! If you win, I'll ask for a picture, it doesn't necessarily have to be a wedding picture, and he'll create a drawing similar to this one.. Or if you'd prefer he can make one just like this, but change the style of the dress, and color of the flowers, suit/tux (military uniforms can be drawn as well!), etc.. Just so you know your options before you enter! ;) 

On this widget are the usual entries, but two that are very different. The bottom two are actually a call for action because I need your help! If you've been following along for awhile, you'll know I am hugely into ocean conservation and an organization called Sea Shepherd, and Paul Watson is a huge hero of mine. He founded Sea Shepherd. They are the only ones directly getting involved with saving whales. This means going head to head with Japanese fisherman, and of course, the Government of Japan. And for political reasons, the US government has decided to back Japan instead of Paul Watson, who is a citizen of this country. Japan wants the US to extradite Paul Watson to Japan if he sets foot in the US. This would be a huge loss for our environment, and the whales, dolphins, sharks, etc. that other countries want to kill.  So this petition is calling for the US to provide a safe haven for Paul Watson, and to not extradite him. I know it's probably so confusing, but Paul Watson is someone who we need to be free to help our planet, and animals on this planet, not sent back to Japan because of him preventing whales being killed, or back to Costa Rica for preventing shark finning. I know that I am not explaining this well or making much sense.. but bottom line, I need your help to make sure Paul Watson has a safe Haven here in the United States. And that's what the petition is for.. 
I know that it is way more effort than any other entry, and that's why it has the most entries attached to it.
