Okay, I don’t know how charming I am but I have had almost 16,000 hits since i revamped my little ole blog :D Sooo, to have a little fun & say thanks to all of you that take the time to stop by and say ‘hi’, i wanted to run a contest! Since I started posting, I borrowed lyrics from some of my favorite songs to title posts/create a vibe. I want you guys to tell me what songs they are & who the artists are. (bonus points to whoever knows this post *hint* their album finally releases Tuesday :) ). The winner not only gets a little taste of what is in my iTunes library but a new 1GB iPod Shuffle and 4 autographed CD’s from my very favorite artists! (BIG thank you to Jason, Amy & Valeri!!!) There are 20 posts. I just need all of them listed and the iPod and CD’s go to the first person that can do it. I will even give you one… #20: Stay by Valeri Lopez ;)
Good luck! And really, truly, from the bottom of my heart I appreciate all of you that stop by, leave comments, write me lovely notes and just always make me feel like I am doing something right more than you know… xoxo ~S
K Mach: Okay, so my wife introduced me to your site and wonderful work tonight. She is, in my humble and non-biased opinion, the best portrait photographer in Fairbanks, Alaska. She looked at me and smiled to ask,"you want to win an Ipod?" Naturally, my response was "yes!" We sat down and immediately realized we were way out of our music league! It wasn't until ColdPlay and then Blind Melon that things started to get clear for us. But even then, we laughed and settled with the notion that we are not as musically "hip" as we thought. Then the competitive monster in me awoke and I had to figure out the answers! Google became my friend, and I spent my late night hours... not sleeping to prepare for another day with our 3 month old and her 2 and half year old brother... but instead googling each of your blog titles! I feel like I cheated, but who knows if these are even correct! In the end, it's up to you whether my entry qualifies. :) Regardless, I gained another wonderful blog to view and a bunch of artists to get to know! Your work is beautiful! 21) Black Kids : I've underestimated my charm (again) 20) Valeri Lopez : Stay 19)Sherwood : The Simple Life 18) Coldplay : Yellow 17) Black Kids : I've underestimated my charm (again) 16) Alanis Morissette : Incomplete 15) Aerosmith : Pink 14) Donovon Frankenreiter : What'cha know about 13) The Bird and the Bee : Birthday 12) Madonna : Angel 11) Blind Melon : No Rain 10) Lupe Fiasco : Superstar 9) Amy Seeley : Beloved 8)Jason Reeves : You in a song 7)Matt Kearney : Girl America 6) 2pac : Dear Mama 5) Eric Hutchinson : Rock and Roll 4) Tyrone Wells : Happy as the sun 3) Kanye West : Touch the Sky 2) The Weepies : Jolene 1) The Pierces : Lights on (07.21.2008 06:11am)

SS: K Mach- your competitive monster was your friend cause you won! :) Just send me your address and I will get your iPod & CD's out to you right away. btw- Googling wasn't cheating at all. I would have had to Google and I listen to/have them all! Hope it was worth the sleepless night ;) Lanne, Pete & Annie... thank you so much for taking the time to look all those up! haha For your time & effort I have three additional autographed CD's. We will just do it a first come, first serve basis. Let me know which one of the artists you would like (Jason, Amy or Valeri) and hopefully everyone gets their pick. Just email me at shannon@shannonsewell.com with your pick and address :) :D ~S (07.21.2008 10:15am)
