And the winner is.....

I decided to draw the number the old school way.  The numbers went into a little tupperware and a little shake here and a little shake there, and around and around it went and then lucky number 89 was drawn by Miss Amelia! ( The year I graduated from highschool!  Gosh that feels like a life time ago.)



Number 89 is Amanda from the blog Late Night Stamper.  She had a great giveaway of a felted tea pot cozy and tea bag cozy along with a sweet little felted ladybug ring that Amelia would have loved.



After taking this picture of Amelia holding the little girl, Amelia asked if we could hang it in her room and I said "No", which then she asked why not and then I told her I was going to give it to someone and then she broke down in tears telling me how she wanted it in her room and not to give it away.  



It broke my heart to see her react like that over the picture.  Last week when I had finished making this picture she had asked if she could have it and  I was hoping she would forget about it, but I guess she didn't. It's so sweet,  whenever I finish a little girl picture she always asks, "Is that Mia?"  (me-a)  This is what she calls herself.   My kids are actually kind of spoiled with my artwork. Usually they do get to hang it in their rooms.

Anyway, it was lots of fun having this giveaway.  I wasn't sure if I should do it because Sew Mama Sew is obviously about sewing and well, as you saw, my giveaway wasn't sewing related.  But, I figured just because someone sews, doesn't mean they wouldn't like to win a little piece of art, right?  So yes, I'm glad I did this.
Thanks to everyone for all of their kind comments and stopping by!

Giveaway Day

Hello everyone!  Thanks for stopping by to see what I'm giving away for Giveaway Day at Sew Mama Sew!  I've never done anything like this before or given anything away and I thought this sounded like a great chance to meet new people and also to go visit new blogs and maybe win something for myself!

I'm giving away this collage of this sweet little girl, it's titled "For You".  I just made her last week specifically for this giveaway.   She is on an  8 x 10" piece of watercolor paper.  I used painted scrapbook paper for her dress,   (originally the dress was pink with white polka dots and then I painted it orange and I like it soo much better now!),  recycled packaging paper for her face/arms/legs, recycled coffee filters for the flowers/hair and shoes and  watercolor, acrylics  and ink. 

In order to win her, all you have to do is  leave a comment.  Comments will be open through May 25.  I will pick a winner at random on May 26.   Please make sure that your e-mail is linked to your name or leave your e-mail in the comments so I have a way of contacting you.  I'll ship internationally too.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  I hope you like her!
