Where it all began & a Giveaway

Last week I mentioned that taking a moment to enjoy the little pleasures is a great way to put everything in perspective and relieve a little unnecessary stress. Part of that sentiment is what gave me the drive to focus on my blog and creative path this weekend. Looking back at how this site started, the name behind it, and the direction I want to go made me realize that I'd like to share more of the illustrations, art, and graphic design that make up the "lines" in Stay in the Lines. To get everything rolling I'm sharing a great giveaway featuring one of these designs, a whimsical tote bag that is the perfect Summer addition to a beach outfit, trips to the farmer's market, or a casual weekend look. Sometimes looking back is the greatest way to get inspiration for what's ahead, so I hope you enjoy the illustrations and direction to come!

To enter:

• Follow Stay in the Lines on Twitter, Facebook, or through Google
• Re-tweet this giveaway for an extra vote (let me know in the comments)

I'll pick a winner on Monday May 21st, so make sure to enter for your chance to win this fun Summer tote. International entries are welcome too!
