Nature's Notebook- Your Name Captured Forever In The Sand- Personalized Beach Art Review and Giveaway!

I love to decorate my home with art, and a beautiful piece of the beach, the shore, the surf- well, that is an asset to any home. What would make it even more beautiful? How about a name or message that means something to you written in the sand.

Artist and photographer Courtney Noelle of Nature's Notebook creates this sort of artwork. She writes in the sand of California beaches, and before the ocean tide sweeps the message away, she takes beautiful photos. I recently had the opportunity to review one of her customized beach writing photographs with my son's name, and it was not only a lovely piece that will look great in his room, but she dotted the i in his name with a starfish- how awesome is that!

Nature's Notebook, an apt name for the moist sand near the ocean's breakers as well as the company that writes on it, offers pieces in various styles, sizes, and frame options, and you can decide what name or message you want written in the sand and immortalized. Some of the options offered:

If you are thinking of getting artwork for your home, especially something that displays the ocean, why not get a piece that has more meaning to you, and is personalized just for you? This would be a great gift  for the holidays also, or a house-warming gift. It also makes an incredible gift for a newlywed couple- their names and an interlocking heart (as shown in the photo above), or possibly a great gift for new parents- their new baby's name and date of birth! The possibilities are endless, but all the photos are beautiful.

Due to natural changes in nature, every piece is unique. The sun will appear different in the background or on the water, and the waves are always varied. Courtney works hard to get you an incredible setting for your piece, and you can even have your art created as a black and white photo for a more dramatic effect.

Buy it! A customized beach writing photograph would make a great gift for the holidays, for a new baby, newlyweds, a graduate, anyone who is celebrating a milestone in their life they'd love to remember, or who would love to see a special message daily in an art piece decorating their home. To view all the beautiful options offered by artist/photographer Courtney Noelle, visit Nature's Notebook!

Win it! A reader of Penelope's Oasis will win a beautiful piece of art from Nature's Notebook for themselves- a name or message immortalized in the sands of a beach.
