O My Birthday Bash: Written Art

Posted by & filed under Birthday Bash, Giveaway, Wheaton College.

It’s OBaby’s first birthday, but you are the ones getting the presents! How great is that?

My connection with Written Art just might be my favorite story from blogville of late.

(Does the name sound familiar? You may have noticed her lovely banner over here —->)

See, Ann of Written Art was on my friend Gussy’s blog one day when there was a post about the inappropriate number of cupcakes  Gussy and I had eaten together and Ann thought to herself, ‘Sheesh that other girl’s face looks awfully familiar. Like I’ve met her or something?’

Ann did a little blogvestigation and turns out we went to college together. True story. Also true? Ann of Written Art is an incredible Christ follower with a beautiful, sincere, and precious heart for Him. I remember a chapel talk she gave as a student chaplain to the women on campus about our beauty in God’s eyes. The fact that I remember a chapel speech should tell you something about just how inspiring she is.

(Not that I didn’t love chapel. Or anything. ::waves hi to other Wheaton alums who may be reading this::)

These days Ann is still creating beautiful and inspiring things, but now they are on canvas instead of on the chapel stage. Isn’t her art lovely?

You can follow Ann’s wonderful blog here and her tweets here. (No, seriously, go read her beautiful reflections on life in her blog.)

I am thrilled to announce that O My Family is giving away a $30 shop credit to Written Art in celebration of OBaby’s first birthday!

Disclosure: Written Art has provided the spoils of this giveaway today, as well as the refresh canvas seen above that she so kindly sent me (which now sits happily on a shelf in my bedroom). While Written Art is paying the monetary costs of this giveaway, money cannot buy my opinions. Those are priceless.

    Ann is such a beautiful beautiful person! I admired her as she gracefully welcomed us in during Orientation week and heard more of her heart as she spoke. And what a wonderful artist! This is great!
