These Are a Few of My Favorite Things... Giveaway(s)!

Today is my 1 year blogging anniversary!  Hooray!

To celebrate all of the fun and all of the friends I've made this past year I am having a giveaway of some of my "studio essentials", some of the supplies I can't do without...

My favorite (art making) things!

The very first thing I do when I step into my studio is turn on "Tinfoil Girl" by Kathleen Smith.  Listening to that song has become a very important part of my painting ritual.

Along with being extremely talented, Kathleen Smith has a beautifully kind spirit that comes through in her magical music.  I am thrilled to announce that Kathleen has very generously sent me her "Dolls" cd to be included in my blogoversary giveaway!  Wheee!!!

In addition to Kathleen's cd, the other giveaway goodies include:

*Black Gesso (If you read this post then you remember how much I love black gesso!)

*3 of my favorite white gel pens

*2 Prismacolor blender pencils

*1 Staedtler eraser (the kind I've been using since high school!)

*1, 8x10 piece of the industrial foam I use to carve my stamps

*4, 8x10 pieces of drafting vellum (mylar) for stencil making

and

*1 small piece of pressboard (You may remember me mentioning it in this post.)

All of these treasures will come wrapped in tissue paper and bubble wrap - Two more great texture makers!  (You can also cut up and gesso over the cardboard box it comes in to create even more art!)

But wait... The giveaway doesn't end there!

(Can't you just hear the infomercial voice?!? hee hee)

Kathleen didn't just send 1 cd, she sent 2!!!

Since I already bought my copy from cdbaby ages ago, that means I have another one for a lucky second winner!

If you are interested in entering this giveaway all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. (Please make sure to include a way to contact you if you win.)  The giveaway will end Friday August 5th at 11:59pm (EST).

I will randomly choose 2 winners and announce them on Saturday August 6th.  The first winner will receive the box of art supplies and cd, and the second lucky winner will receive Kathleen Smith's "Dolls" cd!

Thank you all for making this such an exciting year in my creative journey!

Good Luck!
