February Giveaway - Free Beatrix Potter Images for Crafting Projects!

For those of you who following along, I'm having so much fun working on my new Snowy Days candle mat design that I haven't yet finished the easy pattern for it. I can't decide which darned embroidery embellishments look best, so I keep stichin' and ripping out again. It might sound tedious, but I really love the process and hope to have the finished design and the last tutorial for the pattern posted here within the next week. Don't worry, gals, the pattern will be very easy to complete, and it's turning out sooooo cute!

In the meantime, I want to post my February Giveaway that is completely off the beaten path. In between stitchin' and designing, I've been collecting vintage art from the late 1800s and early 1900s that I use for note cards, greeting cards, scrapbooking and, well, you get the idea. For my February Giveaway, I thought you might enjoy two wonderful Beatrix Potter images she created for The Tale of Peter Rabbit , a children's book published in about 1902:
