It's A Giveaway Celebration!!!

   On the 15th I will be celebrating not only my birthday but my FIRST YEAR BLOGIVERSARY!!!
And to celebrate, I am giving away these prizes:

  5 sets of three ATCS (Artist Trading Cards - 2/12" x 3 1/2")!!! Each set includes three -live your bliss, live with joy, live your dreams. These were made using my gelli plate prints.

  All you have to do is leave me a comment in this post. I will leave commenting open up thru the  the 15th . Feel free to share with your friends! You don't need to be a follower; it's not my intention to gain followers unless of course you happen to like my art and posts :) I will randomly select five winners. Be sure to check back over that weekend. Good luck!

  I have discovered since the very first day of blogging that there is no community more caring, giving, encouraging and supportive of each other; not to mention the generous sharing by way of step outs, free tutorials, free workshops and giveaways. Not long ago I received a giveaway I won at my friend Terri's blog Artful Affirmations. She participated in a challenge called "Grow Your Blog". The giveaway part was optional. This is what came in the mail from Terri:

 This gorgeously wrapped pkg. in pale aqua!! The pkg. itself was a gift, but inside was this book:

  Was this not meant for me or what-especially as a newbie?? It was published in 2009 but it has really wonderful photos, tips and techniques etc. from a variety of bloggers. Links to those blogs are included and I recently even became a follower of one (more on that another time). I'm still reading it so who knows who else I may find :). Thank you Terri!!

  And I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you all for making this my richest year in arting, learning and community. I may or may not be blogging for bliss yet,
 but I AM blogging from the heART.
