It's GIVEAWAY Time!


          Edit: This giveaway is now closed. Please look for the winners names on Mon. march 31. Good luck and thank you for playing and celebrating with me!

   Today I am celebrating both my birthday and 2 year blogiversary and for me there is no better way to celebrate than with several giveaways. This is something I've done each year since the day I began blogging 2 years ago on my birthday day!

  Three packages are being offered and winners will be chosen at random from each category. There are just a few simple things to keep in mind before commenting.
 
    1. You don't have to become a follower, but if you do or you already are a follower please let me know and your name will be added twice into the one category you choose!

    2. Please SPECIFY WHICH GIVEAWAY PKG. YOU'D LIKE. If you do not I will add your name wherever I choose but would much prefer you get what you'd really like.

    3. Be sure I can reach you by email but also check back on my blog on Monday March 31st to see if you are a winner. I will leave commenting open (one comment per person please) thru Sat. March 29th midnight EST.

  The Three Package Details:

Package1:
    This very slightly used book (Kaleidoscope) is filled with art journaling ideas and techniques! I had inherited this book and already own a copy. I am including a mini book kit which includes everything you need to make 3 books, and a set of bookmarks for you to art with.


 Package 2:
 A mixed bag of dominoes and bamboo tiles including a kit to make earrings, a kit to make three book thongs and three little plastic stands which perfectly hold the large dominoes. Here are some samples of the pieces I created to give you some ideas:

These are two book thongs-I have included supplies (except for imagery) to make three of these.

  This is a pair of earrings I made from the same kit-you decide what to do for the domino fronts. Here I glued on my handmade marbled paper, used a Krylon Silver Leafing pen on the sides and painted a thin coat of Crystal Lacquer over the paper front.

 Add a photo, a collage image, or use alcohol inks to create a pattern. Add a pin back, a magnet on back, or display it on a stand like this:


Package 3:
  A set of 24 Derwent Watercolour pencils (very slightly used-this was also a set I inherited and already own) and a new 5 1/2" x  3 1/2" Moleskine watercolor journal.

  I will also include a hand made item by me with your packages. Good luck and thank you all for making my blogging experience positively JOYFUL!

    I'm not putting my name in for one of the giveaways, just wanted to express my thoughts on your generosity. I thought I had added myself as a Friend, but it seems haven't, so will do so now.

  18. Happy belated birthday. I had intended to stop by on Saturday, but was busy making art and photographing it all day.

    Well you sucked me in with your generous birthday giveaway, Linda. It's #3 for me all the way. No hesitation, as I own Kaleidescope, and I've several doms I've yet to alter. But I have ALWAYS wanted a set of those pencils I have never been able to afford. Thanks again for giving us the choice. So kind and thoughtful of you.

  23. Happy Birthday. What a celebration for us. . . . thank you. I would like to win #1 as I am taking part in the Documented Life Journal and so far I've been able to come up with my own pages (I guess because it is MY life afterall). If you have too many for that one.. .my second choice would be the Watercolor pencils and moleskin book (which is what we are 'suppose' to be using) ;) Thanks so much for the opportunity. Enjoy! Blessings, Janet. I've been a follower for some time according to Google!
