Fab Freebie: French Swimming

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Well now that we’re more than ready to find a pool to dive into, random.org has picked a winner of this week’s giveaway. The lucky lady is… Cher (who swims about 20 laps each day in the summer). Congrats!

One element in our new kitchen that always makes us smile is the etsy print that we purchased by Samantha French. Remember, the cheery orange and blue painting of the lady swimming (that Clara also sweetly though included some “fishies”)? Well now Samantha is giving you guys a chance to win your very own colorful work of art with a $200 gift certificate to her Etsy shop. So grab your swim cap and bathing suit because that’s enough to snag any of the 16 x 20″ archival prints featuring Samantha’s signature subject matter.

Samantha French Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $200 gift card to Samantha French’s Etsy shop
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “LET’S GO SWIMMING!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …are you a swimmer? Do you love going to the pool to do a few laps? Or maybe just to splash around (or lounge around)? Or are you and water not friends?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 28th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Samantha French.

    Let’s Go Swimming! I’ve been swimming laps with my mom 3 mornings a week ever since I graduated high school almost 12 years ago. It’s kept us healthy & who doesn’t want to hang out with their mom at 7 a.m.?

    LET’S Go SWIMMING! I love to swim. I grew up with an in-ground pool in the backyard. I’d spend nearly the entirety of my summer playing Marco Polo or diving and retrieving objects I’d throw into the pool.

    I love to swim! We went on a cruise several years ago and one of the major highlights of the trip was snorkeling out in the middle of the ocean and visiting Stingray Bay where we got to swim with wild stingrays.

    LET’S GO SWIMMING! If it’s a pool – I LOVE to swim. But there are way too many creepy crawlies (or swimmies, I guess I should say) in the ocean. So if I’m at the beach, I’m more of a lounge-on-the-sand-and-MAYBE-dip-my-toes-in kinda girl.

    LET’S GO SWIMMING! I have been a fish since I was a little girl. My whole extended family owned a lakehouse in the Ozarks and I spent my summers in the water. My mom thought I would grow gills.

    Ever since then, as soon as I see a large pool of water, I can hardly wait to jump in. I love being weightless, being able to backflip, and swish around with the greatest of ease. I swim and swim until my skin prunes…maybe I’m waiting for those gills to show up. :)
