Cool Butterfly Prints Review and Giveaway

I have been working with Deborah Carney at Cool Butterflies. She has been so wonderful to work with, very patient. :)

The Cool Butterflies Butterfly Shop has over 2000 prints of butterflies. She wanted me to choose what I wanted to review. (Insert shocked smilie face here!!) I said, would you consider picking for me? I have a little girl that LOVES butterflies and pink. She said, sure, I'll pick.

She sent the package via USPS. It arrived in EXCELLENT shape, although it took a little longer than we'd expected, I assume due to coming over the board. I was so excited to finally receive these prints. They were better than I expected! They are so very beautiful and clear.

Deborah included three prints of a butterfly on a pink flower, a similar print with a message on it and a note card print of flames.



The flame card says,
"People have ideas all the time,
ambition is just the stubbornness to follow through."
- Daniel Fogg

The quality of the colors are rich and bright. I can't wait to get these framed (in black frames) for my CJ's wall. I know that she is going to love them. The "distracted by butterflies" is so like her! If she sees a butterfly she is off running, trying to catch it.

The paper is excellent quality. I've handled the prints very little; only pulled them out of their envelope and protective plastic a couple of times to view them. (Partly to keep them from CJ who's birthday is coming up, and partly because I don't want them damaged.) They have held up well to any handling that has been done.

The flame card was a great pick for us as well because my dh is a fire fighter. It's just fun; I plan on framing it as well, for my dh's desk.

I definitely recommend Cool Butterfly Prints to my friends and family. You can purchase these prints and many, many others from coolbutterflies.com.

Deborah has offered a print as a giveaway for my readers! One reader will win the print of their choice.

To enter: Simply visit Cool Butterflies and pick your favorite from the many available. Come back here and leave the link in the comments.

Bonus entries:
  • Leave a comment telling me a butterfly story from your life.
  • Get up from your computer, do a dance with a child and come back and tell me what song you danced to, or if it was just music in your head, tell me that. No child to dance with? Pretend! Have fun with it!
Make sure you leave your email or have it accessible on your profile so I can contact the winner. Giveaway ends September 18, 2009. Open to US and Canada.

Note: I intend to update this post at the end of October, when CJ receives these beautiful prints in their frames. Watch for it! I can't wait to give you her response!

Striving to learn and live God's purposes,

As a child we had so very many Monarch butterflies out in the country where I grew up and they were so pretty. I remember chasing them as they flew and enjoyed their beauty when they landed. Now there are almost no Monarchs out there. They seem to be disappearing and I miss them. wandanamgreb(at)gmail(dot)com

I just got up and danced to a song in my head:
"Sandwiches are beautiful
Sandwiches are fine
I love sandwiches
I eat them all the time"

As a kid I loved monarch butterlies. We would run around at the campground we went to trying to follow them. They were so beautiful.

If I won I would choose this print. http://www.coolbutterflies.com/butterflyshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=128_144&products_id=1559&zenid=ccdcfcf041540e27f579fa7cf10090be
