AND THE WINNERs ARE!!

So as I stated in my post earlier today I was going to give two people a giveaway instead of just one. I appreciate all those who participated but in the end there could only be 2. (and yes I remembered to add those who posted the badge in twice.)

How I did the drawing. There were 27 participants in total. I gave everyone a number giving the first poster number 1 and so on until the last poster was named number 27. (Those who added the badge had their number put in twice). Then Adam picked from the magic Christmas hat and came out with two winners. (This was just easier than writing out everyone's name)

The first person receives two 5X7" prints of their choice

The second person receives one 5X7" print of their choice

without further delay

#10= 1st place winner= Cris from Mommy's Midwest Mountain Folk Art

#2= 2nd place winner= Jenn from Pease Porridge

Again thank you all for participating. I am coming up on my 100th post so stay tuned for MAYBE another giveaway!

CHECK OUT MY ETSY!

I have two short term paintings on ebay (going off in three days) incase you wanted to do as a Christmas gift. (will send out as 2 to 3 day shipment, unfortunately I can't be held responsible for delaying with the post office)

SMOOCHES,
Steph

HAPPY SUNDAY

Hello everyone. This is a little number I did before I fell ill and forgot to post... It is a 9"X12" so it has a hard time getting on the scanner. But you get the idea.

Well I got outside yesterday. The day I had the first procedure done we had a huge ice and sleet storm so I knew at the point I wasn't going to be able to be outside for a couple of days. I FINALLY GOT outside yesterday! BURRRR when did the temperature drop that cold. Really I didn't car, to breath fresh air was a HUGE relief. And more awesome yet was that all the tree looked like crystals from the ice storm. If you touched one it looked like it would shatter in a million pieces! I wish I had my camera on me but I didn't. I am going to go out again today and see if I can get any pictures... crossing my fingers.

I want to get some quality time outside today because I am back to the surgeons tomorrow so he can look into the crystal ball and read my future. Speaking of future ADAM IS ALL DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYYAY I think I feel as liberated as he does. Time to start real life. I am a little nervous but I think it will all be fine.

We stayed up until 2am last night playing online jeopardy. We are a good team:) We always bet it all at the end, not becuase we are risk takers but becuase we trust in that the other will know the answer. In high school I was a member of what we called the Post Star Bowl team. It was high school jeopardy and I loved it. At the begining of the year you had to try out against tons of classmakes and students in higher and lesser grades than you and the team would consist of 5 players with one sub. I have always had a love for information I was actually invited to try out for the real Jeopardy teen edition when I was a Sophmore in highschool. It was at the Waldorf Historia and NYC. Unfortunately the tryouts fell on New York State testing days and well there goes a one in a will shot. My luck I would have gotten all spelling questions.

Alright well I have to shower and get my day started. I am sooo behind on a million different things that it will take me DAYS! to catch up.

The drawing for the winner of the giveaway will be pulled btwn 5-7pm eastern time! So I will be sending out an email to the winner. Also I decided to give away one more print to a second winner and that name will be drawn at the same time! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. and thank you for entering!

smooches,
Steph
