$100 gift certificate giveaway

/

Ah, the ever important question...Shall I purchase a bunch of little photos or one large print? While there are many reasons to go either way, my opinion is that you will always get more joy out of one large wall portrait. Don't get me wrong - smaller prints can be more flexible and located in places that large prints may not fit, but big wall art is appreciated everyday. In most cases, even more than a fine piece of furniture. Here's a quick snapshot from the studio and our new 5- foot canvas that will forever remind me of a wonderful weekend away. Do you have a large (16x20 or above) framed print or collage on your wall that was created by Silverbox? If so, take a snapshot and send it to info@silverboxcreative.com. We'll choose a winner and send them a $100 Silverbox gift certificate. Entries due by Friday, April 6th.

kindly vote for evergreen elementary

Getting a little personal today and thought I'd post some holiday goodness. Out of hundreds of schools, my daughter Maggie's 5th grade Chorus at Evergreen Elementary made it into the final three schools in a Holiday Radio music competition. Today's the day to vote them to #1. The winning school receives $5,000 for their music department along with performing live on stage with Peter Nero and the Philly Pops. And the best yet...their song played on the radio throughout the holidays. What kid wouldn't love driving in the car and having their song come on the radio? Voting is today from 7am-9pm! Please take a minute to vote (or as many times as you'd like :)

Please vote for Evergreen Elementary Blitzen's Boogie anytime between now an 9pm today. Thank you!

We're so excited for these kiddos and the cutest 5th grade chorus teacher you'd ever want to meet!
