Happy almost Valentine’s Day!! Being the romantic that I am, I was thinking of a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day without having to visit a mall, flower shop or local chocolatier! And c’mon! Who doesn’t like free stuff?! Right!

So, for this upcoming day of love and lovers, I am going to instigate a giveaway of sorts (insert hand writhing here – lol). I will gift a portrait session (yes, engagement sessions are included) with an 8×8 album to whomever does the following:

HOW TO ENTER:
All you have to do is tweet or retweet something nice about this give-away & include both of the following: 1) a link to my blog (www.thewayyouduet.net OR www.dariajohnson.net) and 2) @dariajohnson so I can track your entry. For extra points leave a comment on this blog post.

EXAMPLE (if you are confused):
CNN BREAKING NEWS! Valentine’s twitter give-away on @dariajohnson’s blog. http://www.thewayyouduet.net

DEADLINE:
February 12, 2010 at 11:59p. The winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day (February 14th, for the romantically challenged lol)

Smooches!

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

I saw this on a random youtube search. I think he’s a little upset.
