So tell all your friends, and CC me in on those emails to, because everyone you tell will be another entry.

So to summarize, 1 entry for the nomination if I get a CC email, 1 entry for every person you email about how to nominate lovestamp, if I get a CC email..

A few days ago I got a gorgeous email from one of my clients. Her name is Rachel Richter and she is a fabulous Brisbane based photographer. I met Rachel at the last Mathildas Market where she purchased on of my Big Girl heart bangles for her daughter. Rachel was lovely enough to send me a photo of her wearing it, and I just loved it so much I had to share it.

Please pop on over to Rachel's site and have a look at her gorgeous work.

Thank you Rachel.
