Click on image to enlarge

For months now, I've been trying to get a hold of an image of this famous beauty. This is Lina Cavalieri an Italian Opera Star, born in 1874. And finally today, this gorgeous image arrived in the mail! Her dress is as stunning as her face, I hope you like her too!

Now for the Giveaway part:
I was recently asked to review a brand spanking new laptop with the Intel® Core™ i5 processor inside, via Blogher. Yay! You can read about my busy life and why I needed this awesome little machine HERE. AND, at the same time, you can find out how to get 2 chances for a $250 Best Buy Gift Card, provided by Blogher!!! AND, it's a two part post, so you can get 2 more chances on my second post HERE. I'm so excited to be able to offer such a valuable Giveaway item to you guys. All the details are on my personal blog, so make sure you click on the links in this paragraph to leave your comments in the right spot!
Reminder: Don't post your comment here for the draw, you must comment on my other blog to be entered! (Sorry for the shouting, I just don't want you guys to miss out!)

  15. Karen, Thanks once again for a great image. My computer is old and complaining about all I try to do on it by freezing up too much. I was wondering how good photos and graphics would look with a lap top? Going to the site and watching the video it seems like I could get excellent visual quality. I will use the gift certificate towards the purchase of my new computer. Thanks for the chance to win!

  16. Hi Karen!
    Thank you for the beautiful image - I love vintage lady photos and this one looks a lot like the one I use as my Etsy avatar and on the shop banner. Check it out: www.heirloomgypsy.etsy.com and see what you think?
    Thanks again for all of the lovely graphics (and blog accessories)

  17. This image is absolutely my favourite!
    I also read your posting of the rush you have right now. I wish you strength .
    This is what my partner said to me when I did some christmas cards and I now give it to you as an advice: Let the glitter be. Then you don't have to by a christmas tree;)

  19. Hi! I love this actress as well - I bought a postcard with her image about five years ago - I had it on my old computer and I need to re-scan - I will share it with you when I do - but I made this collage at the time -

  20. Karen,
    I have used so many of your beautiful clip art in my card making that I wanted to give back. I have some old cards that I received in a trunk from a garage sale and would love to send them to you if you would like them. I can scan them and send them to you or send you the originals if that would be better. Thanks again for all the wonderful images you provide to us for free!
