UPDATE: Portrait giveaway winner Kimberly Williamson gave us a call this morning and was very happy to accept her prize! Kimberly has two children, 5-year-old Clayton, and 2-year-old Sydney. She and her family, which includes husband Zach, live in Springdale. Kimberly offered thanks to her friend Jamie Stein for telling her about nwaMotherlode (and offered condolences that Jamie didn’t win the giveaway!).
