Misty Dawn Photography
Misty Dawn Seidel is a nature photographer who's photography includes wildlife, domestic animals, macro photography, sunsets, abstract, landscapes and more.  If it catches my eye, she photographs it.  At her shop you can find a variety of gifts printed with her photos.  You can see more of her photos here.




abitosunshine
Ruthi Cox is an artist, photographer and poet...and she combines all three in the products she designs in her shops at CafePress and Zazzle.   Her words dance with the art and pictures, encouraging readers to live life to the fullest.

(The winner can shop at either store, but please choose either her CafePress or Zazzle shop for your "thing I like" entries, not both).



Send Out Cards
Send Out Cards is a company that makes it easy and inexpensive to send cards to loved ones.  The $20 credit you can win covers the cost of setting up an account plus 15 regular cards  (non photo type ) or 10 photos cards with postage, if you choose to spend it there.  To see all the great variety of cards they have, just click the "Send Free Card" link.  (Don't worry, you don't actually have to send a free card...but hey, it's free, so why not!)

    5. @BytheBecks, I cannot view anything past the first page. Every time I click on a link, it reloads the welcome page and I can view all 3 pages of the Cancer products. From those products, my favorite is the Pink Ribbon Teddy Bear Ornament, but I would love to see their LDS gifts.

My little guy has recently absconded with my mouse pad, though, and I'm really feeling it in my wrist, so I guess - as of today, I'd love the Fire Leaf Gel Mouse Pad!
