  3. It was tough to choose but Manifesto of Choices spoke the loudest to me. What a great collection!

  4. I’m over the top in love with “If only you’d started” and “Make Your Heart Sing!’ but … as much as I want to win … I live in California so I understand if I’m not eligible. 😉

  5. I would love the manifesto for mum’s – those words are exactly what you need to hear/read sometimes, especially after a long day being a mum!

  8. I would absolutely love the “Mum Manifesto”! As the mother of a 14 YO and a 4 YO, it beautifully sums up everything I learned with my oldest…I just wish someone had shared this brilliant wisdom with me when he was born.

  10. Oh, what a choice! I think the Manifesto for Mums would be my choice. These are little bits of advice that every mum needs at one time or another.

  13. Oh i want one of these! they are gorgeous and so inspiring!
    I want the Manifesto for Kindness print, it would be great to put in my classroom when i start teaching next year! I’m all about teaching kids about values and treating one another the right way.
    🙂

  17. I really love the everyday do something saying. it is important for all of us to remember what is truly important in life and this saying embodies that for me!

  18. These manifesto’s are marvellous! My favourite is the ‘If only you’d started’ print, but it’s VERY closely followed by the ‘Manifesto for choices’. So inspirational, imagine reading them everyday as you got ready!

  23. Oooh, tough choice! The manifesto for mums… no dads… no mums… no dads… sod it, the manifesto for kids and I’ll just have to buy the other two. Love Kelly’s work x

  24. I wish I could get em all! I think I might get some for Christmas gifts fir family. But my fave is the manifesto for photographers 🙂

  25. “Every day make sure you do something that makes your heart sing” Just reading that gives me inspiration & a spring in my step. I think that might by my Mumsy’s next present… 🙂

  27. The ‘Manifesto of Choices’ – it’s a great reminder for how we should act in life and that learning never ends! Love the new look by the way, the colours make me happy!

  28. My favourite is the one about kindness. It’s something I try to instill in my kids everyday. Thanks for the great comp!

  29. The manifesto for Mums made me teary. This is what I needed to read today after a hectic weekend with family. This is such a great reminder for us mums to breathe, stop doubting yourself and keep doing what your heart tells us is right. Great poster. Love it.

  31. I too like them all, but I think my favourite today is “If only you’d started”. Would love to put that in my sewing area. Fingers crossed I win.
    Thank you.

  33. I love the manifesto for kids! It’s simple, heartfelt and the best advice for our children.

  39. The manifesto for Dads is unique and hits the mark on what fathers need to remember daily. That is the the one I would love to win. Love your work. I have pinned the prints to Pinterest and shared them on facebook to expose your work.

  41. I had two favourites, the Dad manifesto was one but I think I’d pick the manifesto for kids. It’s a hard choice, they all ring true.

  42. I actually just want to tell u all how AMAZING Kelly is,(we are social network buddies now YAY) and the Smile collective truly makes u smile!! Please visit it often, and share the happiness with everyone!!

  48. A Manifesto for Mums. The cards look fantastic. What a way to cheer up an old Mum having another birthday! The words are all lovely

  53. Such a hard decision, it’s a toss up between “make your heart sing!” and “a manifesto for kids”
    A beautiful giveaway

  54. I would like the manifesto for kids. I am always looking for quotes or inspirational items to put in their rooms. They were born 3 months premature and weighed 1.4 and 2.7 so we always try and find inspiration so they know how grateful they should be thg they are living!

  56. These are a great reminder of what we need to hear every day. I would be so grateful to receive either the Mum, Dad or Child one. All of these speak to both my husband and I, and any of them would be wonderful to see every day. Like all of us, we struggle with parenting, trying every day to do our best, falling and getting back up again – to have one of these in print in our house as a reminder that we’re doing our best, and to remind us constantly to keep doing it with love and fun as the most important focus, would be just fantastic.

  57. I absolutely <3 the Manifesto for Photographers (or moms, or kids lol) Her whole shop is just wonderful!

  60. Ok, this one really is too hard to choose! I love the manifesto for moms, manifesto for kids and make your heart sung canvases. They are gorgeous!!

  64. My favorite one is Make your heart sing square canvas. My husband and I recently got married and have been enjoying being newly weds… And this canvas is perfect for our new home! Infact it’s so perfect the colors it is in is our wedding colors.. But we also added black haha. This would be too perfect!! Our fingers are crossed!! Thanks do much to both of you guys for giving us the chance to finally agree on something =)

  69. I would have the one for the mums. I work with new mums everyday and would love to have this in my clinic to remind them everyday what a wonderful job they do.

  73. A Manifesto of Choices. What a great idea and as usual the simplest ideas are often the greatest. Ta

  74. Damn ! These are just beautiful..

    I hesitated for a looooooong time..But i just chose the manifesto for photographers. I so much recognize myself in it !

    Thanks for this contest =)

  75. I think they’re all wonderful but I especially like “Make your heart sing” 🙂

  76. I love the sing one. I love to sing alone. I love to sing with my kids. We have a singing house!

  77. I love the manefesto of choice, it would be a fantastic mantra to have for every day. My 10 yo is a rather sensitive soul who really takes things to heart, it would be great to share the manefesto of choice with him. Great give away. Love reading ,your blog x

  79. How wonderful these are! The manifesto for Dads would be perfect, and I’d give it away to my brother who’s experiencing a “rough patch” right now and needs to hear these words.

  80. I would love to win the Manifesto for Dad. My husband is the best father ever, and having this in sight all of the time would show our sons to appreciate everything he is and does for them. I want more than anything for them to be great Dads one day.

  81. Manifesto for Mums – It would go in the most prominent position because I NEED this reminder everyday. So very true and beautiful.

  82. If only you’d started -I’d like to hang that in my lounge room. My life is a bit lacking of motivation….

  83. Hey!
    Really cool contest! I would like to win the one for photographers, because I am learning photography myself. You can check out my tumblr if you would like. I really enjoyed the Photo a day June thingy and tried to do something special with my camera every day.

    I would really like this one: A Manifesto for Photographers

    Thank you so much 🙂

    Florens

  85. everyday make sure you do something that makes your heart sing

    LOVE IT!!! something that I already try to live by

  89. They are all super amazing! Such a talented lady 🙂 I will be definitely buying some for gifts they are truly unique! My fave would be manifesto for photographers, would love to hang it in my office 🙂 thanks!!

  91. As a new mum to Miss Poppy (9 weeks) I would love her to wake up each morning to read the kiddy canvas! Love them all!!!

  92. The Manifesto for Mum – this describes my world as a Mum of 4 kids 11 and under. Such a visual cue is a great check-point to remember (during the more testing times of the day that come somedays) what we are focused on and why 🙂

  94. A manifesto of choices! Thick in the middle of school holidays and moving house, I’m finding at least once a day I’m wanting to throw my hands up in the air and admit defeat, I’m desperate for some affirmation!

  95. The manifesto for mums is divine! Reminds me to be kinder to myself but also to soak in all the little moments and make our memories too x

  97. These prints are beautiful reminders of what we need to remind ourselves of every day. I would love the manifesto of choices in my home <3

  98. Absolutely gorgeous! I would love the manifeto for kids, would be perfect for the monsters playroom. 🙂

  99. absolutely gorgeous! I’d love the manifesto for kids -perfect for the monsters playroom 🙂

  100. I just love “manifesto for mums” it says everything I try to be for my toddler and my future kids! Even as I read it, especially the last lines I was tearing up and ran to give my gaughter a huge cuddle and kiss and tickle!!

  102. I love the mum manifesto – some days we all need a pick me up and a reminder that our job is the most important of all. We are very lucky!

  103. I love them all but “inspiration share a smile” and “make your heart sing” are my favourites, I reckon they go hand in hand. When I smile and see others smile back, that makes MY heart sing!
    Sometimes we can all do with more inspirations in our daily lives to remind us just how special we all are! Thanks for your many inspiring words. <3

  105. I love this site!

    Love the ‘manifesto for kids’ in blue. Would look great in my newest little man’s room when we joins us in October.

    Thank you

  106. Wow, I LOVE these. I am a bit of a “sayings” person, there are many around my home. We all need a bit of inspiration,My favourite would definately be the Manifesto for Mum’s! But I’ve spent a while now checking out her website – love it. And I think the Manifesto for Youths is amazing too. So clever,what a fab website – thank you for sharing it with us!

  107. The ‘imagine what you could have achieved..’ .. LOVE THAT ONE! and if i don’t win, I’m gong to buy it!

  111. Manifesto for Mums…we should never teach our children to strive for perfection–it isn’t practical. Teaching them how to be WHOLE, well-rounded folks is something I work at daily as a mom and a teacher. Thanks for sharing!

  112. A Manifesto of Choices – is what I loved most it spoke most to me because of my relationship with my amazing man. If there had been one for love I would have possibly gone with that we choose to stay together because of many reasons mostly because of love. I almost went with the imagine one cause so much changes in a year… 🙂

  113. I would LOVE the manifesto of mums! I’ve been looking for something like this for ages and this one would be perfect!!! 🙂 xx

  114. The ONE I’d like most to win??? ONE??? Only one????? But … but … hmm … should I get one for their Dad as an encouragement? A Mum one for me … cause I WANT IT!!! One for the kids room … or lounge … the choices one for the kitchen? I could definitely use a few in my craft room … and Don’t even get me started on ones I would love to give away ;D

  116. Oh the decision – but I think I need ‘If only you’d started’. To hang here in the study to remind me to stop dawdling over Facebook and Pinterest and either study, or clean the house, or exercise or any of those other things that I forget about!

  117. LOVE the Manifesto for Mums – I think I might have to re-decorate my kitchen to match it if i win!!

  118. We have just started setting up our house…and we were just shopping around yesterday looking for pictures like these. We couldn’t find one that was just right, but these ones are PERFECT! The “Make Your Heart Sing!” one is just the perfect way to turn a house into a home!! 🙂

  119. As a mummy of TEN – The Mummy One 🙂 or…the photographer one! I love stuff like this and I adorn my walls with all kinds of beautiful sayings. It makes me feel good. Especially in my office where I work and I can them most days of the week! 🙂

  122. Hi Chantelle,
    I’ve been reading your blog every night for the past few nights for hours, I love your honesty and the way you write it really resonates with me and keep the iphone/app tips coming they are amazeballs! Anyway just wanted to let you know 🙂 xx

  125. Oh my gosh, how poignant is the manifesto of kindness? In a world where it is so easy to comment anonamously we need to teach our children these simple rules so we don’t forget that everyone, online or not, has a face and feelings. 🙂

  126. I love the thought of making your heart sing every day, but the one that I really would love to see hanging in my home would be the Manifesto of Choices. That one just yelled ‘pick me!’, a must have.

  127. So hard to choose just one, they are all so beautiful.
    But I think my choice would be the manifesto for Mums.

  128. These are so beautiful! Manifesto for Mums gets my vote. Sometimes a mum needs to be reminded of the simple things covered in this. That the best way is the way that works for them and that bringing up kids is one of the most important things anyone gets to do in their lifetime. Love your work Kelly 🙂

  129. I love “make your heart sing” – at present I’m making a conscious effort to do this!

  130. Love these manifesto’s. I have a printed copy of the one for Mum’s and would love the kids one.

  131. I love the Photographers Manifesto….the words are so true and exactly how I feel about taking a photo and capturing a moment in time preserved forever more….what could be more precious!!!

  137. I’m a “Proud Mommy” of two boys!!! love the Manifesto for Mums !! a nice reminder for us Moms!!

  138. The manifesto for mums is my favourite, although they are all amazing. Thanks for sharing Chantelle, I will definitely keep Kelly’s website in mind for future birthday and Christmas pressies!

  139. A manifesto for kindness! Why?
    Because Life Is Like A Dinner Party With the Queen!!!!
    Love it!

  140. I absolutely love them all and it is so hard to choose, but I think my fave would have to be the Manifesto of Choices.

    They are all fabulous!

  141. This is so cool and would look perfect with our new desk! I really like the Make Your Heart Sing print. Something to remind us to do our best everyday.

  142. I love love love them all!! I would love to have the collection down my hallway!! But I really do love the Manifesto for Kids as a starter!!!! I love all the prints that have life’s little gems on them!!!

  143. Love these prints!! Especially the Manifesto for Mum’s, that would be my pick. It’s so great to have a visual reminder of what’s important.

  144. Wow they are all lovely, my first choice would be The Menifesto of Kids.

    Thanks for the lovely giveaway 🙂

  146. I’d very much like a copy of the Manifesto for Kids. My Lovely Boy is six months old and I would love to teach him to be brave and bold, to seek out adventure, to love, to hang on and to let go… all those things that I sometimes forget to do myself. So, a reminder of that, to hang in his room, would come in handy… for both of us.

    Ooh, speaking of… my brave, bold little boy is awake and requiring an adventurous mum!

  150. Ooooo! I’d really love the Kids one! It would be perfect for my two kiddos play area. Love it!

  151. The manifesto for Dads. What a wonderful gift for my hubby to remember all the wonderful parts of being a father to our 2 boys!

  152. I would pick the “Imagine If’ because I hear it often in my career. Its a great motivator to do the things you may not necessarily wish to do, now, so that you can have the freedom to do the things you want to do whenever you want to do them. :]]

  154. I would love the manifesto for mums. The words are very true and you do need that reminder sometimes. I think sometimes we try and fit too much in, do too much everyday. I know I do! We have to remember that they are just little and sometimes a day in our pjs is called for. My daughter and I had a great afternoon the other day, just walking around collecting rocks in her bucket. I knew she enjoyed it when days later she is still showing everyone her bucket of rocks. Simple things, I love it!

  155. I really love the manifesto for kids print. A great piece for the little ones bedroom 🙂

  157. Love the “Mother Means”.It’d be a gentle daily reminder to me of how lucky I am to be a mum, even when they can make you want to tear your hair out and, of course, to my kids and how lucky they are!!!

  158. I’d love to have the kids manifesto – my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a while now and I think this canvas would be awesome in a child’s bedroom. Having something to put towards our dream, just might help make the visualization became a reality! 🙂

  163. I love the Manifesto of Choices – trying to make some heavy decisions right now and these are great words to keep in mind!

  167. Definitely love the ‘Do Something Everyday That Makes Your Heart Sing’…manifesto…a simple life-truth that we all; mums, dads, grandparents and sometimes even kids (esp. during busy school terms)…sometimes forget to do.

  170. I love the Manifesto for Kids…. the prints a just adorable! Actually there would be several I actually would like but we have to pick just one. Hope you have settled in nicely to your new home too x

  174. Love each and every one of them, but my pick would have to be the “if only you had started” one. Great give-away. Thanks for the chance.

  179. I love the Manifesto for Mums. I think it is too easy to get swept up in the daily routine and this would be a nice little reminder : )

  182. The one that moved me the most is the ‘If only you’d started…’ I think having this one on my wall would be very inspirational and motivating- there are so many things I want to do in this world, but I often find myself simply thinking about them instead of actually moving, starting… If I don’t win, I will still certainly remember this quote…

  187. Ohhh these are awsome!
    I would love the manifest for Mum in my new home.
    Love it! <3

  188. Both Mum and Choices are fab! On those days of pure chaos, it would be nice to have a quick reminder on how important and wonderful being a Mum is. And Choices … whoa! Words to live by!

  189. I think my favourite is the Manifesto for Mums, as a single mum to a toddler i sometimes forget to enjoy the little things, this would be a great reminder and definately something to brighten up any room 🙂

  193. It makes all the other Manifestos so much easier to do…
    “Make Your Heart Sing!” for me.
    <3

  195. I’m in love with the manifesto for kids! It’s absolutely spot on, kids need to embrace all that they are – a big ball full of energy!

  196. How different would the world be if we all did something every day to make our hearts sing. Love it!

  203. I love the manifesto for mum. It reminds me to cherish each day with my gorgeous daughter and enjoy the gorgeous small moments with her. What a great thing to be reminded each and every day.

  206. Hello chantelle,

    Such a lovely giveaway, thank you for the opportunity.

    Imagine if we *did* everyday do something that makes our heart sing.
    Imagine if we each did that for one person – what an amazing pay it forward moment that would be.

    There would be no loneliness for some, new beginnings for others, a world a lot kinder and gentler.
    You made my heart sing with the story of your encounter on the plane a few weeks ago and the *random happening with that man that didn’t want to go home.
    I don’t cry much with blog reading – you bought lots of tears to my eyes.
    You made his heart sing Chantelle – and only the special have a gift like that in this world – he wold never forget you as you won’t either.

    I’m a pay it forward girl and I love making my heart sing as well as others.

    X Loulou

  207. The manifesto for mums is brilliant! It’s what I imagine my mum would say to me when I’m having a down day. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and full of love!

  208. I love all of them but I think I’d like to win maniefesto for kids. The reason for me choosing that is that my hubby and I are now officially out numbered with three kiddies, so they are running the show really! The maniefesto might help us to remember that they come first. X

  210. I love these. I would love to win Manifesto for Kids. I am teacher and would love to hang this in my classroom.

  214. “Make your heart sing” is my favorite print – and my personal new goal! #photoaday June & July have played a huge role!

  216. They are all so beautiful it’s hard to choose! I would have to choose the “make your heart sing”! Love them!!

  217. As a photographer, I try to be more successful than the last shoot each time. I would love the manifesto for photographers. It is very inspiring and beautifully written!

  220. Wow I think I like them all. My first choice you be to start with the manifesto of choices. I choose that one first because it would be hung right in my living room for the whole family to see. My husband and I always remind our kids about choices, and I think that the manifesto of choices is a great visual reminder for everyone.

  221. I absolutely adore the “…make your heart sing.” What a beautiful reminder to not take life so seriously!

  222. I would absolutely love the manifesto for kids! What a great thing to keep in my daughters room for her to read as so gets older. They are all so awesome though!

  224. The imagine pring is perfect! I think it would look great in our home (preferably my office?)!

    xoxo

  226. ‘Make your heart sing’ ~ adore this! With a happy heart all the rest just seem to fall into place.
    Thanks for introducing us to another great site, and another interesting blog!
    Cheers and happy sunday x

  228. I would love the manifesto for kids. Would be a great update for my daughter’s room as she leaves babyhood behind. And a great reminder for us as her parents to ensure her days are filled with those things.

  229. I love these! The mum one is great but I would especially love a kids one in pink for my daughter’s bedroom.

  230. I love the kids manifesto – kids these days still need to be kids. Not just tv & computer games. We need more dirt, sand, running in puddles, paint, fun, mess & hugs. Fun in the sun:) Happy kids happy family. Xo

  233. Share a smile!! I work with kids and would love to add this to our classroom. I think it is so important for kids to learn to share a smile! So much hate now days at such young ages! 🙂

  234. What an amazing Contest! Such beautiful prints! I’m so torn so I’m afraid I can’t pick one! The manifesto for mums and dads are both equally amazing! As a mother, the manifesto for mums are great words of encouragment and inspiration and the words we so dearly want to hear but don’t always get to! Such a great confidence booster!
    As a wife, and mother, the manifesto for dads so loving and truthful! I wish my husband would remember those words every day! Although Im guilty of not always telling him theae things! It seems like dads always forget their worth! Granted our daughter is 8mo old but there’s no shortage of love!

  235. The canvas “Everyday make sure….” You need a little inspiration in your life and some days its a struggle to get it. Having this in the house in the most prime spot would give you the inspiration you need everyday. Reading this to your children would help them with their day to dau as well. Just beautiful

  236. LOVE the manifesto of choices! It perfectly sums up where my head’s been at for the last few months… I know it’s a super popular choice, but it sings right into my heart right now… Seeing this every day would be a great inspiration – also knowing there are others reflecting on their choices as well 🙂

  237. They’re all beautiful – I like the kids one for my lil girls ‘big girl room’ I’m about to do up! 🙂

  239. Makes your heart sing – i would really like to have this one,since i’m unemployed,dealing with depression,looking after my mom who is sick and there’s no money 4 meds.

  241. I love the manifesto for mums 🙂 im in california … about 2 hrs left b4 the deadline 🙂

  242. i LOVE the JUST IMAGINE. theres so much i could have done in n looked back on this is a perfect reminder to just start things no matter what the outcome could be just focus on doing. <3 it

  243. I love the Manifesto for Mums, as a mum to a 3 and a nearly 2 yr old, I constantly need reminded of how great it is to be a Mum! Reading that a couple of times a day would do me and my kids wonders!! Thank you x

  248. I’m curious to find out what blog platform you have been working with? I’m having some minor security issues with my latest blog and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any suggestions?
