    Wow! What a great giveaway!! I really like the first banner (although they are all fabulous!). I've been cleaning house all morning and about to do some art before going to the dentist... Have a great day!! Love, Silke

    I am going to have to say I like banner B the most! It presents a lot of emotion with more people in the sketch...I was drawn to that one the most when I was glancing over them.

    i'm thinking #1 - i like the cleanliness of #3 but it's almost too clean and sterile, it doesn't convey the warmth that i get from visiting here

    Hello Char!

    Thank you for hosting yet another GREAT Giveaway! :o)

    So here it goes... it's been a difficult one, but I would pick n° 1. It's something new, but a little less 'cold' than n°3.
    And I love the cosiness of those 2 friends chattin'!
    It really looks like what it feels like to come here for a read & a chat!
    :o)

    *hearts*
    and have fun!

    Hi Char! Such a cool giveaway (I can picture a portrait of Chanchu -my son/cat- wonderfully done by you). I'd say B, I agree with herzensart is the most well-balance. In second place I'd choose A (I prefer the handwriten title rather than the computer-made one). Many interesting comments and suggestions here! Love, Flor
