Posted: 01/04/2012 Filed under: Etsy, Reader feedback 1 Comment »One year ago today I set out on this full-time freelance adventure with redshoes26 design! I would like to celebrate and thank you for your support by giving away one of my Minnesota Icon illustrations. All you have to do is “like” my page on Facebook (if you haven’t already), and write a comment about which Icon you love the most and why.
If you don’t have a Facebook page, you can write your comment right here on my blog!
See my Etsy page for a full list of my Minnesota Icons.
I’ll enter your names into a drawing and randomly choose one on Friday–the winner’s Icon will then be popped in the mail (shipping will be free).
Thanks, everyone!
