Let's celebrate my FOUR years with a GIVEAWAY!!!




Yep.
FOUR years of blogging!
And what a wonderful four years it has been!!!!!
These years have been filled with so much goodness...
Almost 1600 posts of
creating my heart out,
sharing my loves and life

Making so very many AMAZING friends!!!!






You've touched my life in ways you'll never know,
inspired me and encouraged me,
thank you SO MUCH!




So to celebrate four years of blogging,
I would love to have a giveaway
with FOUR prizes!!!!



 I will create a sweet piece of art in the next few days
for the FIRST gift.
I'll add the photo here too :)

Next, I would love to give away a copy of
Pam Carricker's new book
Art at The Speed of Life
for the SECOND gift.



I wrote a little about blogging (surprise, surprise!)
and how much I love it ~
my heart artwork is featured on this page...



I'm sure you'll recognize a couple of my other pieces below as well ~



Pam did such an AMAZING job on this book...I think you are going to love it too!!
There are wonderful techniques shared and so much great advice on
how to fit creating art into your busy life.
I'm so honored to be included with all of the other artists inside...
thank you very much Pam!!!




For the THIRD and FOURTH giveaway winners
I would love to offer you two tutorials from my
Lessons from The Nest store!!!!

I am brand new to the world of blogging, and have enjoyed your site as one of the premier locations for me to follow. Not only is your blogspot gorgeous and informative, it looks like a place into which I would love to nestle and surround myself with all the tattered lace, photos, and ephemera. Thanks for letting me learn how to blog and how to channel my creative urges.

Patti said...

Congratulations on your four years and wishing you many, many more. I love your blog and your artwork... always so peaceful!

Blessings, Patti

I found your site while checking out some of my favorites. I knew I would love your site the second it read the feathered nest. I didn't realize just how inspirational and influential it would be. I want to run down into my studio right now. All the best for the past four years and to many many more!

Scrap for Joy said...

Visiting your blog is like receiving a hug from a good friend. It is instantly calming and always uplifting. Yours is one of the few blogs I visit where I not only enjoy the music but use it as background music while I do other things. I very rarely leave a comment (sometimes I'm just too awestruck!) but I read each and every post. Thank you for filling our lives with inspriation and beauty. Here's to many more blogging years!!
