Bean Counting Contest Winner

Remember how in October of last year, I ran a bean counting contest to give away a free custom pencil portrait?
Well, Rachel, who won the contest by guessing the number 1,009, finally sent me her picture to draw a couple of weeks ago.   I finished it this week and since many of you had requested to see it, I'm posting it here for you.

Here is the drawing of Rachel's youngest daughter, Annabelle:



Maybe soon I'll be able to do another giveaway.

    BP, if you ever do decide you want one, I will give you a discount off of the rate on my website. That goes for anyone who visits here.

    Mary Smith, thank you so much for the kind words. From the little bit I've talked to Rachel, I can tell you're right, that she is a wonderful mother and wife! I'm glad that she won, and I hope she will really enjoy the portrait! (sent it in the mail yesterday afternoon, so hopefully it will arrive soon!)

    Thanks everyone for the nice things you've said.

    Wow! The portrait just arrived today and it is breathtaking!! It is even more incredible than the little picture here on the blog (if that is possible.) The portrait is 11X17 and just beautiful. Thank you again, Bethany!
