I would take my husband, Eric! He loves flying in small aircraft, and we’ve never done the hot air balloon thing before. Also our last name is Fox, so I’ve been eyeing these prints for awhile now
October 19th, 2010 at 5:17 am
awww…so cute! i would go on a hot air balloon ride with my fiance. neither of us have been before!
October 19th, 2010 at 5:31 am
I would love to take my daughter. It would be priceless to see the look on her face… I think she’d be rather speechless.
October 19th, 2010 at 5:37 am
Oh, I love foxes. I saw one in a parking deck the other day, running around lost. Perhaps he’d prefer a balloon ride. I have to say I’d prefer to take my husband, though. He’s less skittish of heights than a fox would be!
October 19th, 2010 at 5:43 am
I would take my niece, Jenna, she is 5 and loves all things related to flying. She once told me that she would take me to the moon, in a balloon… Such darling illustrations to giveaway!
October 19th, 2010 at 5:47 am
I would take my grandmother–my grandfather died a year ago and I think she needs something that will blow her mind in a good way and show her there is still life left to be lived.

Adorable! That print would go so great in my bedroom that I’m in the middle of redesigning!
I think I’d forfeit my spot on the balloon and send my parents instead. I think it would be a nice romantic date for a couple who’s been married 30 years.
October 19th, 2010 at 5:56 am
These are lovely prints. I would say that I’d take my wonderful husband, because he’s the best, but he’s also terribly afraid of heights. So, I’d take my mama-la, because she’s an amazing lady whose sense of adventure has only grown with age.
October 19th, 2010 at 5:56 am
what a lovely shop, i love all those notepads!! i would love to take my fiance on a hot air balloon ride, we actually entertained the idea of getting married on a hot air balloon but decided it was too impractical and ruled it out. thanks for the giveaway!
October 19th, 2010 at 5:58 am
While it would be romantic to say my husband of 24 years I think I would take my 14 year old daughter Alinea. She needs to be raised above her world right now to know it’s so much bigger and wider than her high school years have told her.
October 19th, 2010 at 5:59 am
I love this shop! I might have to get the Make do and Mend print for a friend this christmas.
I would take my new boyfriend, Andrew, on the hot air balloon. He makes anything fun and is so adorable, and he’d totally geek out over the opportunity.

Just this past weekend my husband and I took my 2 nieces (2 & 4 years old) on an all day outing. As we were driving to spend the day with our other set of nieces (1 & 3 years old) we saw a number of hot air balloons in the sky. The 4y/o niece exclaimed. “Auntie, will you take me on a balloon ride?” Since these two little girls are just about the most precious thing to me, I’d take them both!

This is such a lovely print! I would take my twin brother with Down’s. I am sure he would get the biggest thrill out of the whole adventure!

October 19th, 2010 at 6:24 am
I would take my mom. I don’t get to see her often since she lives a few states away. It would be a good time. This shop is so great. I love the Scandinavian Flower notebook.
October 19th, 2010 at 6:24 am
I’d bring my sister – we haven’t seen each other lately, and it would be a good time to catch up. Also, we promised each other back when we were 6 that we would ride a hot air balloon together…I wonder if she remembers!
October 19th, 2010 at 6:35 am
I would take my sister – we love to have adventures together, and this would be an awesome one! Maybe the best hot air balloon ride would be the New Mexico balloon festival. That would be great!
October 19th, 2010 at 6:42 am
most definitely my husband. He has a far more adventuresome spirit than I (his idea of a great vacation is Haiti, or Somalia).. And I could use something exciting but maybe slightly less terrifying!
October 19th, 2010 at 6:49 am
I know my boys would be too scared, so my Husband for sure … that would be a great adventure together!
thebluecastle@hotmail.com
October 19th, 2010 at 6:54 am
I would most definitely take my husband, as I’d be way too much of a wuss to do it otherwise. There’s something decidedly scary about floating through the air in a basket next to a big thing that shoots fire. That print makes me forget the scariness though, because AWWW.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:09 am
These prints are amazing!!!!
I would take my boyfriend on a hot air balloon ride. I think it would be an amazing experience to have together!
October 19th, 2010 at 7:13 am
I would love to take my husband! Mostly because I think I would be COMPLETELY freaked out and afraid of heights, and he is the only one that would be able to calm me down
October 19th, 2010 at 7:21 am
My husband. How romantic!!!
October 19th, 2010 at 7:23 am
I have been dreaming about a hot air balloon ride over the south of France with my (then to be) husband on our honeymoon!
October 19th, 2010 at 7:27 am
I love the vivid colors she uses in her art!
I would take a hot air balloon ride with ummm no one because I get vertigo looking down from a 2nd story window let alone a hot air balloon.

Hot air balloons cross over my house most weekends, and each time I look up and think…”we should do that”. I would take my husband, both for romance & humor.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:30 am
this is so cute!I would take my dad, he would really enjoy it like a child.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:33 am
I secretly stalk the work of Alyssa Nassner, (I guess not so secretly anymore) and would be thrilled to win some of her work from a blog that I love!
As much as I love my boyfriend, I’d choose Popcorn, my 16 year-old golden retriever. He’s blind and deaf, but he’d love the wind on his face. It would be a joy to add one more adventure story to our long history.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:33 am
i love foxes! and i think if i were to go on a hot air balloon ride today, i would take my dad. he could use the lift.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:40 am
Love those prints! I would take my husband, he’s good at not showing his fear.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:41 am
Charming prints. I would want to take my 7 year old with me. He is always one to try new and exciting things and it would be wonderful to watch his facial expressions as he takes everything in when we were up in the air.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:44 am
I’d definitely take my boyfriend!
October 19th, 2010 at 7:46 am
I would take my Great-Aunt Tommie! She passed away when I was in 4th grade but what I would give to have one more day especially in a hot air balloon to listen to her stories and talk with her about life! I know if we were up in a hot air balloon she would look out on the scenery and give me a life lesson–she was the best!
October 19th, 2010 at 7:53 am
I would take my best friend with me! It would be so fun to get some time together an gain perspective on the world that we live it!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:10 am
My new hubby, no doubt. He’s afraid of heights but his adventerous side is slowly coming out and so far there hasn’t been a new experience I’ve managed to talk him into that he has regretted! I’d love to share something so incredible with him
October 19th, 2010 at 8:10 am
My best friend – we need a new adventure together!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:36 am
I’ve always dreamed of riding in a hot air balloon. I would absolutely take my fiance with me. It would be such an exhilarating and romantic experience!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:36 am
I would take my husband, how fun would it be to ride in a hot air baloon with someone you love! These foxes are too cute.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:36 am
I would take along my husband. My parents have been hot ballooning together and it always seemed like such a romantic idea.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:43 am
I’d have to take the hubs… he’s the best adventure partner!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:48 am
I would take my BFF. What a great way to celebrate Life.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:55 am
I would take my dog, because she’s pretty darn foxy herself. ; )
I love these prints – and the artist is local to me! Fingers crossed!!
heather =at= chickabug.com
October 19th, 2010 at 8:55 am
I’ll need a bigger balloon to take everyone that I’d have to take…but if it is just one, I’d take my elderly dad. I bet he’d get a big charge out of it!!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:57 am
I’d take my sister – she bungee-jumped from the second-highest deck in the world, so I know she wouldn’t be afraid of the height!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:58 am
I would take my god-daughter because she has such a wonderful world view I would like to show her another!
Love the foxes
In fact, love all her print work, thank you for introducing
October 19th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Since my husband and I love sharing new experiences and adventures, he’d be my top pick. The view would be amazing!

October 19th, 2010 at 9:11 am
I think I’d take my Cousin. We’re as close as Sister’s and best-friends; always cracking each other up. I think I’d have the happiest/funniest time with her.
October 19th, 2010 at 9:27 am
my husband of course!
October 19th, 2010 at 9:40 am
So sweet. My hubby, of course.
October 19th, 2010 at 9:53 am
I love her work! The print is completely adorable! If I was able to go on a balloon ride, I would take my sister. I think we would have a blast together flying up high.
October 19th, 2010 at 10:15 am
These are ADORABLE! I would totally take my husband – it sounds like a lovely way to spend the day with him.

I LOVE these prints. They remind me of Fantastic Mr. Fox. I would take my husband on a hot air balloon ride!
October 19th, 2010 at 10:34 am
I’d take my boyfriend on a hot air balloon ride across the ocean.

I’d love to ride in a hot air balloon with my very curious 4-year-old daughter who would love the change of perspective! She always talks about wanting to fly and see the world from above.
October 19th, 2010 at 10:40 am
I would take my husband. He would think it was awesome, and he’d keep me from freaking out. win/win!
October 19th, 2010 at 10:41 am
I would take my husband of course!
I am in love with the foxes by the way. Tooo darn cute!
October 19th, 2010 at 10:45 am
I Would love to take my mom in a hot balloon over the Adirondacks!
October 19th, 2010 at 10:47 am
I would take my mom because riding in a hot air balloon is probably the one and only thing she hasn’t done. I learn to appreciate her more and more everyday
October 19th, 2010 at 11:09 am
I’d have to take my mom. She would love doing something adventurous!
October 19th, 2010 at 11:11 am
I’d take my sister because I’m sure I’d be completely terrified & I’d need her to calm me down, haha
She’s a lot braver than I am when it comes to heights.
October 19th, 2010 at 11:25 am
Of course I would take my cute cute cute boy, The David, on a hot air balloon ride!
October 19th, 2010 at 11:41 am
I’d take my boyfriend because he loves nature, and a balloon ride would be the coolest way to see it! That poster is actually so perfect because he always says I remind him of a little fox
October 19th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Looove Alyssa’s Foxes!
I’d take my brother with me on the balloon, so we could joke at each other’s fear, count sheep down below and wave the birds above! ;o)
October 19th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Every morning in the fall and spring, I watch hot air balloons fly overhead as I’m walking in to work. I’ve always wanted to take my husband on a ride. He comes from a family that hasn’t had a lot of opportunity to vacation or have outings that weren’t free. I’m sure he would love it!
And those foxes are so adorable!
October 19th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
I would take a hot air balloon ride with my boyfriend, neither of us have been before, and I love experiencing the world with him.
October 19th, 2010 at 12:11 pm

October 19th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
What lovely prints!! I’d take my boyfriend Stephen for a hot air balloon ride!
October 19th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
LOOOVE hot air balloons! Must have that print on my wall! If I could, I would take my mom on a hot air balloon ride because I would give anything to see her again.
October 19th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
Kitsune!
I might try to take the artist. Would that disqualify me?
October 19th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
My husband – it’d be oh-so romantic
October 19th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I’d take my dad because he’d love pretending he hated it the whole time and that’s one of my favorite things to watch!
October 19th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
i would take my husband, he’s always planning fun activities for us, and this would be my chance!
LOVE the prints!
October 19th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Oh my goodness, I love that print so much!
Oh a hot air balloon, I would definitely take my brand new husband. We even thought about getting married on a hot air balloon ride: I emailed the captain, and never heard back… I’m sure my family is grateful we got married on the ground!
October 19th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
I would take my dad, because he is the most amazing, supportive person I know. I wonder if my boyfriend would mind?
That make do and mend print is cute too!
October 19th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Absolutely love all the prints! I would take my 6 year old son along for the thrill of his life and write a fairytale about it afterwards…
October 19th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I would talk a hot air ballon ride with my mom. She had tried to go up about four different times and it always gets thwarted so I know she would really appreciate it.
Really really love those foxes!
October 19th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
Oh my goodness, that print literally took my breath away. It would be absolutely PERFECT for my kids’ room, which I am decorating in exactly those colours! I would take my 4 year old son – I know he would be “blown away”!

I would take my fiance. We are actually hoping to take a balloon ride together for our honeymoon. It happened to be on both our our “bucket lists”. Wouldn’t it be fun to cross this one off together?
Gorgeous prints!

October 19th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
love this! i would definitely take my best friend!
October 19th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
I would take my son. or let my husband take him since I can’t stomach hights.
October 19th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
I’ve had a fetish for foxes ever since I saw The Fantastic Mr. Fox.
I would take my niece. She may only be a year old but she’s probably the funniest person I know.
October 19th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
I would definitely take my boyfriend Mart – he’s terribly scared of heights but somehow I think he’d like a hot air balloon ride!
October 19th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I love these prints ! Absolutely gorgeous ! I would take my dog because she has a fox-friend ! And they play really well together…
October 19th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
I LOVE the Up and Away print!! LOVE!!
October 19th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
I love this print! It would look so gorgeous on my bedroom wall. I would take my boyfriend with me. I live in a different state to him to study. It would be so romantic if we could do something like this and spend some quality time together!
October 19th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
I actually have gone on a hot air balloon ride. I went with my dad for my 18th birthday. It was wonderful – I would go with him again in a heartbeat! Although, I also think it would be wonderful to take my own children. Maybe a new tradition can be started?
October 19th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
These are adorable! I think I’d take my nephew Henry since he’s been obsessed with flying for years.
October 19th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
So adorable! I would love to take a hot air balloon ride with my husband – we recently celebrated our first anniversary and we’re just in that lovey dovey kind of mood that hot air balloon rides seem to fit into. Then again, I’d love to take my toddler niece and see her experience of an event like that.
October 19th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Love the shop, the prints are adorable!!
I’d take my husband Mike, he loves to fly. So this would be a great way to get him up in the air again
October 19th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Such cute illustrations! Love her work! Would definitely take my BF, so I could hold on to him and freak out.
October 19th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I’d take my hubby because I’d need someone to (metaphorically) “talk me down” because I’m ridiculously afraid of heights!
October 19th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
How cute! I’d take my boyfriend. Or a fox in a box wearing socks. hehe
October 19th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
such cute illustrations!
i can tell you who i wouldn’t take: my son, who is deathly afraid of heights;) he gets it from his mom. i’m not sure i’d have the guts to take a balloon ride!
October 19th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
No doubt about it, one of my multiple personalities
Just kidding, my best friend Daniel (to whom I am also happily married) 
October 19th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
What a pretty print! I would take a balloon ride with my best friend Kate.
October 19th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I would just love to bring my grandma with me on a hot air balloon ride. She has such a zest for life, and I think she would really enjoy the excitement and adventure.
October 19th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
I would take my son, he has NO fear of heights and would be thrilled!
October 19th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
My little sister; she’s just moved away to college and I miss her terribly. Riding in a hot air balloon would be such a fun bonding experience and would totally key into her new found adventurous side!
October 19th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
I’d take my brother, Chase, who dreams of becoming either a bird, or a pilot. I keep telling him that the road to becoming a pilot is hard, but much more plausible then becoming a bird. But the common thread between both is that he is interested in the sky, so a hot air ballon ride would be right up his alley.
October 19th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Aside from the obvious answer of taking my girlfriend, whom I would give this to if won, I’d take Morgan Freeman. Why, you ask? Can you imagine the majesty of hearing a story told with his tantalizing voice with such a gorgeous view? No, you can’t imagine it, can you? Which is exactly why I’d take Morgan Freeman.
And if he wasn’t available, I’d take a fox. And of course I’d dress up as a fox as well, with the obvious goal of recreating this print.
October 19th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
I love that print! I would like to say my husband but he is a bit afraid of heights so I would have to go with my seven year old son, who is completely fearless.
October 19th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
I don’t think that fox print could get any cuter. I love it. If I could take anyone in a hot air balloon with me, I’d take my grandmother, Mama. She told me when I was little that she’d take me up in one some day. I’m still waiting, Mama!
Thanks for the giveaway entry!

love all the illustrations! I would take my husband with me. Together we could see the countryside on a gorgeous autumn day!
October 19th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
i would take my sweet hubby, he’s away, i am missing him AND we are the Fox’s!
October 19th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
I would take my boyfriend Daniel, who sent me this blog post, because he knows I love foxes and hot air balloons! And he knows how bummed I am looking for a job on this rainy day.
October 19th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
I would take my hubby. On second thought, maybe my mom, because hubs is afraid of heights! I have always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon, though!
October 19th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
I’d love to take my husband, but he hates heights! So I’d take my mom instead.

thanks for the change!

How timely! My dad has always wanted to take a hot air balloon ride with our family and my sister and I have decided that this is the year — we are going to arrange it for him as a Christmas gift.
The prints and cards are delightful and would make a nice accompaniment! Thanks for offering up such a lovely prize.

Just love the foxes. And how their bodies are so solid and thick. Not so sure who I would take on a hot air balloon ride. I have many kids in my life to choose one of them. Perhaps my mom.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Foxes are the new black!
I would take my lovely boyfriend Matt on a balloon ride. He lives at the other end of the country so it would be a great way to spend some romantic time together!
October 19th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
how fantastic! i was just taking a peek at this shop the other day
i would totally take my best friend/boyfriend matt, he would absolutely love it!
his all time favorite animal just happens to be foxes, this would be perfect!
October 19th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
I so love these foxes! I would take my eldest son (who is nearly 6) because we’ve been finding it difficult to be close lately. It would give us the chance to be together away from our every day pressures, in an adventurous atmosphere to just experience the majesty of the world together. We need something like that right now. Love you little guy. xo
October 19th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
I would take my husband, Daniel…even though he’s afraid of heights!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
I would take my husband Mike!
I have been in love with foxes since my days watching Robin Hood on repeat when I was little.
October 19th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Loving all at the Small Talk Studio! Thanks for sharing
I would take my husband to have mid air picnic in the clouds, the perfect place for a romantic nibble!
October 19th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
I would take my mom. I think it would be a memory that we would cherish forever. I would love to see her face!
October 19th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
I would take my son Fox in a hot air balloon ride!
October 19th, 2010 at 9:54 pm

October 19th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
I’d definitely take my friend Sarah, we would both be equally terrified and thrilled and it would be a completely novel experience. So fun! Great prints!
October 19th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
i love her shop! i would take my mom. although she’s afraid of heights i’m sure it’s one chance she wouldn’t miss!
October 19th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
I would definitely take my husband.
October 19th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
I am intrigued by flight but also a bit shy of heights, so I’d definitely take my husband along for some hand-holding!
October 20th, 2010 at 5:39 am
Wouldn’t do a hot air balloon with anyone – height issues!
Love those fox notecards!!
October 20th, 2010 at 7:24 am
I would take my darling husband. Mostly because I’m afraid of heights and he would comfort me (after some necessary teasing, I’m sure) and then we’d have a blast.

My husband who makes my heart soar every day!
October 20th, 2010 at 8:48 am
I would take my little niece!!! She is just turning 2 this weekend and she is a little ball of amazing!!! Just how she looks at everything is as if it’s all new & exciting!!! I think that even though she’s young I think a hot air balloon trip would be something that she would remember!!!
October 20th, 2010 at 8:49 am
I would take my lovely husband and our soon to be little boy. What a wonderful way to introduce him to the world!
October 20th, 2010 at 9:03 am
I would take my husband, how predictable!
PS – The balloon print is INCREDIBLE!!

foxes + hot air balloon = win! I would take my mom on a hot air balloon ride because she is amazing.
October 20th, 2010 at 9:28 am
I would take the ride with my husband. I know that if I went with someone else, I would be wishing the whole time that he was with me. Whenever I do something without him, I think of how much he would enjoy it and I miss his company.

I would take my husband on the ride

Tea cups & foxes! I wonder if foxes have tea parties over here in Britain…
I’d take Sir David Attenborough with me in the balloon! He could point out all the weird and wonderful nature we’d fly past and who wouldn’t want to listen to his lovely voice.

Predictably, I’d take my husband on one. I wanted to do a balloon tour of Napa Valley when we visited San Francisco a few years ago, but it didn’t work out. I’m still dying to go in one some day!
By the way, this print is SO FREAKING CUTE! If I win, it’s totally becoming inspiration for a (future) nursery!

I would take my hubby Matt. He is awesome and took care of me this week when I was feeling sick. Plus we are co-parents to a corgi who looks very similar to the fox on these prints!
October 20th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
i’d take the love of my life, gary, of course! he makes everyday feel like we’re up in the clouds. he’s kinda awesome.

October 20th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Such gorgeous cards!
I would take my husband. He would just love it. Anything to do with flying/floating is his thing
October 20th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
I would take my best friend, Charlotte. In college we dreamed about going on a hot air balloon ride. Maybe some day…
October 20th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
I’ve admired the sewing machine and crafty prints for months!
I would love to go in a hot air balloon ride with one of best friends!
October 20th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
I love hot air balloons, but I’m deathly afraid of heights. So I wouldn’t take anyone with me, because you’ll never get me in one of those things. I like to admire them from afar, and on the ground.
October 20th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
sounds like a great date to me. i’d definitely want the time (minus the kids!) with my husband!
October 20th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
I love her prints…the “Full Bobbin” print would be so cute in my sewing room!!
And I would of course take my hubby on a hot air balloon ride with me!
October 20th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
… it would be my husband!
October 20th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
My mom!
October 21st, 2010 at 2:56 am
I’d take my bosses son because he has just come out of hospital after 3 months and what better way to see the outside world again than from the sky!
October 21st, 2010 at 5:56 am
What happy and bright prints! I would take my sweet husband, Guion. Knowing him, he’d make the trip quite an adventure! abbyfpratt at gmail dot com. Abby P

This is such a great giveaway! I would take my mom with me in the hot air balloon. She broke her ankle on her 30th wedding anniversary a year ago and has had a hard year-ish of recovery (and of not being able to do things with others because of her limited mobility). I think she deserves a treat.
October 21st, 2010 at 8:22 am
These prints are adorable! I would take my 5 year old sister because she’s a thrill seeker at her young age. It’s always a delight to watch her have fun!
October 21st, 2010 at 8:57 am
I would love to take my boyfriend. He has red hair like a fox!
October 21st, 2010 at 9:18 am
I love foxes. And foxes in hot air balloons are even more wonderful. I would definitely take my Grandmother – she has had a rough few years and now that she finally has her spark back I think she’s long overdue for an adventure. What better way to lift her spirits than to literally, well, lift them.
October 21st, 2010 at 9:40 am
These are so charming! I totally love the Up and Away print, it would look perfect in the nursery for my 11 month old son. And, I would definitely take him on the hot air balloon ride – he would just love seeing all the houses way down below us and would have a ball watching the flames from the balloon.
October 21st, 2010 at 9:48 am
I would bring my friend, Jill, cause she’s the most bubbly person I know!
October 21st, 2010 at 9:50 am
I would share my hot air balloon adventure with my mommy, Patty Cakes, of course!!♥ I just can’t get enough snuggle time with her; she is an ever-inspiration and makes my life better everyday:) Small Talk has some wonderful items on etsy…thanks for the giveaway opp!
October 21st, 2010 at 10:25 am
I would take my mom on a hot air balloon ride with me because over the years she has become my best friend. I recently graduated from college and moved out on my own. I now realize how I took advantage of all the time we had when I was younger. I would want to share such a special moment like a hot air balloon ride with her
October 21st, 2010 at 4:30 pm
I’d take my husband – how romantic and fun!

I’d take my husband, of course. He’s been working so much finishing up his fellowship that I’d really relish having him all to myself for a bit . . .
This print makes me so happy!
October 22nd, 2010 at 2:36 am
I’d take my best friend, Art because he’s not afraid of heights and I am.

I would take my older brother because he’s been there for me a lot this past year through some tough times.
October 22nd, 2010 at 9:55 am
Such delightful prints! As a child, I remember getting up early for the annual balloon festivals in our town. My mom and I would ooh and aah at all of the beautiful colors and patterns. I’d love to be able to take her up, up + away some day!
October 22nd, 2010 at 10:31 am
I would take my boyfriend, because everything is an adventure with him and this would make a great one!
Love these prints!
October 22nd, 2010 at 11:56 am
I’d love to go on a hot air balloon ride with my best friend. I’ve always wanted to see the world from up there.
October 22nd, 2010 at 5:34 pm
I can see it now… the Make Do and Mend print simply framed and hanging on my wall – a perfect daily reminder!
October 22nd, 2010 at 5:39 pm
oopsies, got so excited about the lovely prints that I forgot to mention who I’d like in the balloon with me! my brave little 3 year old daughter who, unlike me, is not afraid of heights!
October 22nd, 2010 at 9:45 pm
i would take my beautiful husband of 21 days out on this unforgettable adventure. Hot air balloon rides are beautiful yet dangerous. We would love it!
October 23rd, 2010 at 8:16 am
I’d take my foxy boyfriend, KC. He’s always been fascinated by flight! He’s in Coast Guard boot camp right now, so I could send him one of these cards.
October 23rd, 2010 at 8:43 am
Oy! I love the shop…especially the Scandinavian designed pillow…
If I could travel in a hot air balloon who would I take with me? My fiance, who just happens to be my best friend too! We are getting married in April here in south GA and we’d love to cut the rope and float away in a big balloon as our friends and family wave at us from below…how awesome is that?

My mom because she deserves a fun airborne adventure
October 23rd, 2010 at 1:44 pm
i would take a hot air balloon ride with my seven year old brother. it’d be fun to experience the ride with him, and see what he’s thinking and feeling. i’ve never been in a hot air balloon before, and neither has he, so it’d be fun for us both!
thanks for the chance to win!
October 23rd, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I would take my fiance–we actually got engaged earlier this month at the Balloon Fiesta in Abuquerque, NM!
October 24th, 2010 at 7:15 am
Oh, this print is wonderful! I would love to take my daughter up in a hot air balloon. Everything fascinates her, so to see her reaction to the world at that new perspective would be amazing!
October 24th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
fantastic work!
i suppose i’d take the boyfriend for a balloon ride. also maybe a bottle of jameson…

I love this print !!!!
I’d take my fiance-just engaged- for a balloon ride! It’d be so cool to see everything from that height.
October 25th, 2010 at 11:36 am
Far and away I’d take my husband! Our little adventures together are my favorite.
October 25th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
If i had the chance, i’d take the Granddad i never met. Apparently i have his hair. I know surprising little about him, but i do know if that he had had a secret passion for Astronomy. He used to watch The Sky At Night with Sir Patrick Moore religiously, so i’ve been told. If he were here now, i’d take him on a hot air balloon ride at night and fly him up as high as you could get, into the stratosphere, so that he could see the stars. We’d get to know each other and he’d show me the constellations. I know Orion, but past that, i haven’t a clue.
October 25th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
wow! thse foxes would go great with my toddler wooden cabin bed! I hope I’m still in time, in the netherlands tuesday 2th just started
hurray for foxes!
October 25th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
O soory, forgot to tell you who’d I take up in a balloon irde: well, my dad. He’s frightened of heights, but it’s one of his dreams to be in a hot air balloon. Somehow he never gets around booking a thing like that so I would love to take him o a surprise trip through the clouds!
October 26th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
Corny? My boyfriend. Or! Just to switch it all up, my 2 year old nephew!
October 26th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I would love to take a hot air balloon ride with my fiance
We have always talked about doing it but never have, plus, he’s my fox
