wow, love that bow :)
i would probably have a drawing of me with a toaster because my blog is called 'tegan on toast' haha! xx
I would like to have a drawing of my dog.
why?
simply because she's the most precious I have and that for almost nine years now! she makes me smile and happy everyday and maybe it might sound stupid but she's the one that makes me feel better after a hard day. unfortunately she's really ill because of a birth defect and to now that I'll probably won't have her more than 2 years makes me appreciate her a whole lot more. of course I took a thousand pictures of my Bella but I think a drawing is something more 'personal' and more beautiful.
i hope u understand, because my english is not the best :)
so i want a drawing just of me hehe
because ur drawings are unique and all would be jealous on me if i have one^^

You really such a good artist. I like tour drawings. I hope i win the giveaway.. :)
Lovely giveaway!
I would like a drawing of my cat, Mio. I saved her and her two siblings from a farm when she was a kitten because they were going to exterminate all the cats they had because they had too many.She was really underdeveloped and underfed. She lived a happy life but unfortunately she was put to sleep a a few months ago due to an incurable disease. I miss her so much, it sounds silly, but she really hepled me through some rough times and was such a lovely cat. xxx
A drawing from you sounds so precious...
I would to have a drawing from a photo from me and my grandfather on his scooter. He passed away almost 4 years ago. On the photo I was not even a year old an sitting on his scooter while my grandfather is sitting behind me. He did everything on his scooter! The groceries, picking his grandchildren up from school, shopping. In good weather or bad weather. My grandfather also always gave me candy secretly. Fudge candy! I really have great memories from him.
I would love to give that drawing to my dad, since he still misses him everyday.
I wish any one photograph from the blog label: snapshot or from any post whichever photo you like but if wish to draw as free without any charges for drawing.
I want you to draw me because...
Nobody has ever draw me before..^___^
Your drawing seems real..
And I want it on my blog..
As simple as that..
Wow, thank you Maria! :D
If I were to win I would ask you to do a custom drawing of myself... simply because I am so jealous of all the beautiful portraits that artists draw of bloggers! Besides, you are such a fantastic artist that it would be an honor to have a custom drawing done by you :)
Oh dear I'm torn: should it be the child (who has youth and energy on her side), or me (who has neither but with careful application of Laura Mercia foundation can fake it)?
I would like a picture of me with a cannoli, I don't think that some people know what a cannoli is and if I had a picture of one on my blog, then my header of "Moldy Cannoli" might make more sense. And I've never seen a drawn cannoli before. :)
I'd love that hair bow. It's too adorable for words. I've been looking everywhere for one here, but have had zero luck in finding anything i like. I love the look hair bows give, they're flirty and fun and take me to the 50s where women always looked so stylish.

I'd like you to draw Sam's Grandpa (see her wish a few comments above). I will give the picture to her if I'm the lucky one. She can give it to her dad and make him happy. :)
Aw wow! Maria this is such a fantastic giveaway! I think if I won I'd ask you to draw a picture of my doggy, Lola! She is turning 3 years old this month and has totally changed my life and I've looked for pictures of some that look like her to put up in my room but they're never right! Having a custom drawing would just be a dream! xo
Thanks for hosting it!
Wow, I would love to have a potrait drawing by you! Maybe a drawing of me and the bf, so that I can hang on the wall of our future home together:)
Crossing my fingerssss
xx
I would simply love to have a drawing of me made by you
what a great idea!
I would love a drawing of some venus flytraps. I am obsessed with them and there is just not enough carnivorous art out there. Have you ever done nature drawings?
:) lovely blog! i would obv like you to draw me :) perhaps channelling a parissienne feel? but tbh, i would love you to draw (just to push your boundaries)edie sedgwick, she is such an inspiration xx
I would love a drawing of myself. I take horrible pictures. Horrible. Accidental grimaces, surprised eyes, half-open mouth...name it, I've done it. A picture could make me look sane!
Oh I would so love a drawing of my dog! I love the drawings you do. You have such talent. Also I madly need a new hair bow and blue is my favourite colour. Good luck everyone! Thanks Maria.
Ahhh--how I would LOVE to have a picture YOU draw of O-man. Love all your work, Maria!
OH YES!
I'D LOVE TO HAVE A DRAWING OF ME WITH A FLORAL PRINT DRESS AND A BIG VINTAGE BAG :)
WOULD BE COOL TO TAKE THIS AS A NEW HEADEN FOR MY BLOG!
I REALLY DO LIKE YOUR BLOG BY THE WAY YOU LOOK SO UNIQUE AND NOT LIKE 'OH I WANNE BE SO INDIVIDUAL!'
I LIKE THAT! :)
AND THE HAIRBOW IS PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY AS WELL :)
LOVE K
This is so exciting! I admire your heading so much. I would like a drawing of me, but a zombie me! Boyfriend is obsessed with zombies and I think that would make a lovely present. Haha. Of course, I'd keep the hair bow for myself!
Thanks!

Hmmm, this is such a difficult question. My inclination would be for you to draw just me, but I think I'm leaning more towards a drawing of me and my roommate/bff Kameron because he graduates this year and is moving out of state. I think it'd be lovely to have a nice "family" drawing of the two of us to display in any future apartments of mine.
i want you to draw me because no one ever did that haha, classic reason :)
you're great artist!
I would love if you could draw my soon to be hubby, myself and our dog Basil. I'm going to be recruiting pictures of my grandparents when they were married, his parents etc. so it would be nice to mirror that with a photo of our family. We could put it in a frame and use it as part of our wedding decor with the others. I'm thinking I would use it around the cupcake table. What a fun give away! Thank you!
hello Maria!
Yay I am excited about this giveaway!! Fingers crossed. I would probably ask for you to do a portrait for my blog header also... something fun! Love the bow!
Your writing is not chicken scratch! haha.

Hi Maria! :o) If I were to win I would ask you to draw a picture of...me ! Because I've never had a drawing of myself before and your style of drawing is so beautiful!
It would be lovely for my blog header ! :o)
That bow is beautiful and oh so feminine ! I love it!
Great giveaway !
Cute giveaway! I would probably have you draw something with birds, probably with branches, since tzipporit means "little bird." :)

ooh, what a lovely giveaway! I would LOVE to have a drawing of my dog because I love her so much. She's the big baby of the family :)
woohoo! a giveaway! please count me in :D
I think this is a really neat contest. I would love a drawing of either me or my cat! She is a Devon Rex and is very adorable but detests cameras and consequently I have very few images of her. This is her: http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab60/silverflapper/Vintage%20Clothing/IMG_2978.jpg
But I would leave it up to you to decide what you would use for inspiration for a drawing.
Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love a drawing of me with my dog.. I have the exact photograph in mind actually.
I love that bow, and your drawings are amazing, so this is a great giveaway!
Oh, it would be so nice to have a drawing of me! Nobody has ever drawn me and I would love a cute picture (lovely dress and bows!). I would put it in my header. :)
is it bad to say that i'd like you to draw me? :O it would just be great to have on my blog or something!
either that or Lady GaGa..love her & i'm positive the drawing would be gorgeous!
really great giveaway Maria :)
xx
I would love to have that little bow because whenever I wore it I would feel like I was a very privileged six-year-old girl, and I would dress accordingly. Thanks for having giveaways!
i'm gonna go with a slightly vain answer and say me. i've never had a drawing of me before, other than a caricature from some amusement park that made me look like Jay Leno. ha. your drawings are so lifelike and really capture the essence of your subjects. they're really special.
Well, I'd probably want a drawing of a classic movie star, since you do those so well! I'm not sure which one I'd want, maybe Fred and Ginger :)
Sounds ridiculous but I'd love for you to draw for me my stuffed cat. I've had it since I was born - 22 years ago - & it's definitely my most favourite & irreplaceable thing in the world. All that time I've treated it as if it were a real pet, so I'd love to see him looking more lifelike in a drawing.
I would like a drawing of Jack and Kate from Lost =D You know..this is the last season and they are so cute together!
Thanks a lot for this lovely giveaway ^^

I would choose the custom drawing because I've been through so many blog headers and I couldn't possibly manage to get one as lovely as the ones you draw!!!
It would be so happy to own a personalized drawing from you.....If I get to win...I would treasure it for the rest of my life...
Just wanted to say "hi" to a fellow Michigan blogger!
Dear Maria,
Thank you for hosting this lovely giveaway. I would love a drawing of my puppy Bono Baby. He's was given to me when my Daddy passed away. I never thought I would fall in love with a little black and white chihuhua. He is my whole world. He is nine years old now. He is my baby.
love love,
Fritzi Marie
as odd as it seems at first, I would like you to draw a little tattered looking girl on a mattress on a floor if possible. She has to look upset as if wanting freedom. The reason would be because I give presentations on the vast amount of slavery in the world, particularly the little girls forced into sex slavery around the world. I would use the drawing in my presentations to show the desperation of why it is so important these girls get help!! I know it is probably asking for too much detail, but that's my heart's passion. I hate human trafficking and the injustice done to people.
by the way, the bows are extremely adorable. I still love those sailor tie-ons best though ;)
Hey Maria! Love that you're doing a giveaway! :) That's so exciting!
I would like a drawing of my hero of all-time, Woody Allen circa Annie Hall. He was so cute in Annie Hall, I love his stuttering, his mannerisms, his neuroticism. He's a huge inspiration to me, because his films are heavily dialogue oriented and some people find dialogue films boring. I love them, because it's hard to write great dialogue. He's a master at it.
If I'm chosen, I would love if you could add me in the picture. Because I don't think I'll ever have the chance to meet my hero. I don't even need to meet him and have a conversation with him, but if I could take one glance at the most influential person to me, I'd be so happy. Since that day may never happen, I think a picture of Woody Allen and me would be a great!
Good luck to everyone :)
This is such a great giveaway! Hmm I suppose it would be fun to have a puurdy drawing of me, I've been lazy about the blog and maybe it could punch it up, either way I love your drawings and bows!! You have such an endearing aesthetic. Hope you have a wonderful day =]
I LOVE drawings/sketches. Love them! So I'm so excited about this giveaway.
I think I would want a drawing of myself for my blog or maybe even of my wonderful friend Ellie and I together, if that would be possible. She has been such a supportive figure in my life especially during the past couple of months which have been difficult.
And that bow is lovely, Maria.
Beautiful for Spring which is just around the corner.
Thank you for hosting such a lovely giveaway. May your blog continue to thrive <3
Great giveaway!
I would love to get a drawing of either my dogs or a drawing of my boyfriend and me.
The bow is so cute =)

Wow! This is such a generous giveaway. Thank you so much Maria! :)
I would love for you to draw a picture of the cat I use in my Etsy photos (my shop is Hellcat Vintage). Last week was my one year Etsyversary and I still don't have a banner for my shop! I would be so honored (and thrilled) to be able to use one of your drawings.
Ohhhhh, your drawings are just so beautiful. If I was the winner of your contest I would ask you to please draw a portrait of my 10 month old son, Aidan. Because, he is the apple of my eye. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be in your contest even though I don't have a blog :)
amyatbundlesoflove@yahoo.com
Yay!
I would want a drawing of me with Stevie Nicks.
Ooooh what a lovely giveaway!!
Mmmmm I don't know... I guess I would love a drawing of Laia and I! I think I'll put it on a t-shirt, hehe!
Oh, what a lovely giveaway!
I would love a drawing of me - because I have never been drawn before (ive secretly always wanted it after watching titantic, except with all clothes on!) and also - you make glasses look really cool in drawings! x
what an awesome giveaway! the fabrics you use for your bows are so pretty.
i would like a drawing of myself! ^_^ with a bow. a big bow. why? i don't know. i just like your illustrations and no one has ever drawn me before, so it'd be fun to see how it would turn out.
<3
Oh my what an amazing giveaway...I would so get you to draw our sweet dog Rosie who is in dog Heaven ...so that we could remember her..I would so stick your drawing on my blog. Thanks for the chance. xoxoxo
I've just started my own fashion label and it will be lovely if you could draw a picture of my new clothes which I can frame in my shop:)
Cheers,

I would love a drawing of my fiance. We have barely any photos of us together and he hates having his photo taken, but I'm stubborn and would love a drawing of him to show him how handsome he is. ;)
what a great idea for business and for your readers!
if i win, i'd be very grateful if you could draw a portrait of my newly arrived niece. if you're so inclined, you know where to look: she's the celebrity on my blog and she'll probably be for a long time :D
what a wonderful opportunity for us ;-)
i think if i could pick i would love to have a drawings of my EMT gang. My friends in Paris. I miss them so much. I have tones of pictures of them but a drawing brings a little more to it.
Oh arent you generous holding such a giveaway! I would loooove to win a wonderful drawing from you. Hrmmm I think I would like a drawing of my bf and I.
Rose
OK, this is going to sound a bit weird...
if I win this contest, I would love to get a drawing of two cute little goats!! I would frame it and put it in a living room in my future apartment I would share with my loving boyfriend. And so, everyone who enter the room would have to look at it.That way, I'm gonna have a room filled with The People who Stare at the Goats!
It's gonna be funny, cute, and in some crazy way, it means something to me and my boyfriend!
*** And I suppose that you have never drew a goat before :))
Whoever wins, this is one really nice giveaway!
All the best. xoxox

If I win, I would love to have you do a portrait of me for my blog. Just because I really like all of the drawings you've shown us.
Hi!Such a wonderful idea.
Oh, I´d like you to draw Audrey Hepburn with a lot of ballons from the "Funny Face". I hope you remember that scene. Because, I love her so much and just because she is the most stylish and beautiful woman in the world.
Thank you so much.

amy
This giveaway is fantastic. I would definitely love a drawing of one of my pups.

I am definitely entering!
I would love one of your drawings. I would like you to draw me I think, probably in my 50's swing dress. Or just my head with one of my trilbys!!

Maria you're a talented artist. I'd love it if you drew a picture of me, because I love to see the way different artists portray me. That sounds a little conceited as I type this, but it's just really thrilling to see how an artist would duplicate my facial features into whatever medium they choose. I'm a lover of the arts! Still wish I'd gone to Art School.

Hey lady,
I'd love a drawing of me to put on my blog...is that totally narcissitic? It may be, but also super cool because you have such great talent! I hope I win! Annie.
This is such a great giveaway! I'd love a drawing of me because you're so talented and you're drawings are always so lovely! I also really need a cool header for my blog!
Oh ! Maria ! I'll adore a drawing of me ! You're so talented and adorable !
I'm in love with your creations !
You probably have no clue how delighted and extraordinarily happy I am to get in at the last minute!!
It's my birthday next friday, i'm turning fourteen! Wow.
I look up to you so much.
I don't want to sound cliched up I hope i'm half as cool as you when I grow up.
Your pretty, talented, creative and smart.
AND YOU HAVE A PUG! I love your dogs.
I've been asking for a pug for years now, but apparently they have bad asthma and take heaps of extra care than 'normal' dogs do.
Is this true?
Anyways, hope the weather warms up abit your end of the world.
Pretty giveaway, fingers crossed for an early birthday gift. ;)
xoxo
Oh haha I forgot to actually add the answer to the question!
Silly me!
I'd like a picture of...
A daschound! They are my number one favourite dogs next to pugs.
Seriously, i'm not actually dog obsessed haha.
I'd just love a sausage dog for my header of my blog.
They are so cute!
What a kick ass giveaway!
Would love love love a picture of myself for the blog I WANT to start! I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed in hope that I win!

This is such a lovely giveaway Maria, and I am particularly excited because I've been saving up for one of your drawings! Yes, I realize it is only $18 (and well worth it, I might add!) but I still can't afford it with my sad government salary.
I would like a drawing of me in one of my outfits, which I will let you choose, because I'd like it to be more about the artist than me. I've always been delighted (and somewhat jealous!) to see fashion bloggers being drawn by many artists on the web, interpreted in such beautiful and unique ways. My picture would, of course, ultimately serve as my new blog header. (:
