Time for a Giveaway!!!!

TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!

Finally got this together! Still wish I had more time and energy to put more into it but for now, this will have to settle as my first official giveaway. :D One of the sets is going to be given away here and the other on my facebook fan page.

Okay, first off, The Rules:

There aren't many. Mostly, just that the same person can't win both prizes. That would hardly seem fair. Second, that you must like my facebook page or be a follower of my blog. Third, that you must advertise the giveaway in a post somehow with the link shared on this post. This can be via your blog, just a status on facebook, through your fanpage, whatever. As long as you spread the word about the giveaway and post the link here or on my facebook fan page post, you're entered. :D
All of my giveaways probably won't follow these same rules but I figured as my first giveaway, I'd make it a sort of promotional thing. ;D I also plan on doing more giveaways when I reach some of the 100 follower marks (100 likes, 500, etc.) so the more people who like my page, the more possibilities of a giveaway! :D You can enter via both my blog and facebook page for double the chance to win.

Second, the prizes! :D

Each set comes with a brand new, signed (by both me, the author - Tabitha Grace Smith- and Jack and Machu) copy of both Jack the Kitten is Very Brave, and Machu the Cat is Very Hungry. Also included is a special signed 'Color me Silly' zine created by me with some coloring pages of some of my line work. These are my first zine's and are probably going to be seriously limited edition until I hopefully get to create some more. :D (I think it's between 12 to 14 pages long.) Additionaly, I have created two sets of necklace items. Each set is unique to either Jack or Machu so in one set, there is a Jack oriented (blue) thread spool necklace with an accompanying bell as well as envelopes with kitten related items. The second set is for Machu which is pretty much the same items, only in his 'color' (red). So you're getting at least $50 worth of one of a kind prizes. :D

The contest will run for two weeks. So starting today and ending November 16th, midnight my time, which is Eastern Time (USA). So any entries from now until midnight November 16th will be entered. Any posts after that are disqualified. I will probably use a randomizer to pick the winners. I think that's about it.

Ready...set...go! :D

Edit: This is open to anyone and everywhere, regardless of area. This may change for future giveaways, depending on cost and shipping issues, but for this giveaway, everyone is welcome to enter. :D

Thrifty spenders make the best art?

This week, the craftster website has been doing a challenge to see what people can come up with by spending only $10 at their local dollar store. Let me say, the results are astounding. I don't know how people come up with these ideas out of nowhere. If you'd like to see the entries, you can view them here. It's ends tomorrow, so you can still join if you like. I might try this on my own, just to see if I can come up with anything at all. :)

Sorry I haven't posted any new art this week. Hopefully I'll have more next week. I've been busy lately and just haven't had much time to create anything much. Mostly just scribbles, and not very good ones at that. :S

I finally got it!

I finally got my Mary Engelbreit winning prize pack, and look at what was inside! :D

If you can't tell, that's cherry smelling soap in the reindeer box. :)

Update

Okay, I didn't win the Mary Engelbreit contest. :( But that's okay, because I still get a signed copy of her Mother Goose book! :D You can go here to see the winner and her entry. Congrats to the winner, Joy Codd! You had some great ideas! :)

Monsters! They're everywhere!

Okay, I decided to enter yet another contest. :) This one is hosted at Monster Mash, which you can still enter here if you hurry! (It ends Oct. 31st!) Here's my sketch and my final piece I submitted. Also, did you notice my new header? :)

I'm a finalist

Okay, I'm so excited. I just found out this weekend that I'm one of the ten finalists in a contest Mary Engelbreit had on her website! The contest was to come up with ideas for a baby shower using Mother goose as your guide, and mine was picked as one of the top ten! So, now, I just have to wait to see if I'm a grand prize winner or a 2nd through 10th winner. :) Either way, I think it's awesome! I've never been a finalist in anything before. I'm honored just to be among the top ten! As I've said before, Mary Engelbreit is one of my favorite artists (She truly is the reason why I became an artist), and I'm so honored she picked anything I created as a 'winner'. Of course, these were just some of my ideas. No art work was submitted, but still, it's so exciting! You can go here to see my name and everything!
