My entry for the Red Barn Quilt Co. Giveaway

Hailey's Birthday Suprise

The whole duck theme was inspired by my sweet little next door neighbor, Miss Hailey Pie. She loves ducks. She had her first birthday this weekend and this is what I made for her. I am a little embarrassed about this one, it's not my normal illustration style. It's a little Mary Engelbreitish, I don't mean to do this. Sometimes my illustrations just turn out like this. If I had done a different background, it wouldn't look so much like her style. Besides Mary kicks some serious art butt, I have a long way to go before I was even half as good. I am in no means trying to copy her style. I guess Hailey likes it. This makes me so happy.

And the Winner is................

The winner is......cpullum. Please email me your address and blog link so I can send you little "Flower". 

Thanks to all of you who took the time to leave such wonderful and kind comments about my artwork. Thanks also to the bloggers who posted about the giveaway. I hope that you will feel free to visit Artfulife again very soon. I had so much fun doing this little giveaway. It is an honor to meet other bloggers who are moms, grandmas, and creative women all full of so much passion for their families and the creative life they are living. I applaud all of you. Can't wait to do another giveaway very soon. 

(Sorry for the jumpy video!)

FINAL DAY FOR FIRST ARTFULIFE GIVEAWAY!!!

Today is the day that I pick a name out of a hat and send "Flower" off to her new home. If you are visiting for the first time and would like to try and win the giveaway, there are still a few hours to post a comment. I will be drawing a name this afternoon at 4pm. Today is Sloan's first day of school, and I promised her she could draw the name. I will announce the winner a few minutes after that. Have a fun day everyone! 

Very First Artfulife Giveaway

Hello! My name is Flower and I am hoping someone will want to give me a new home.

Here is a scan of the original painting you will receive in the cute little frame, as pictured below. The image is 4"x4" (Quilt is not included)

I have wanted to do a giveaway for quite a while. Just lately I've gotten up the courage to actually put this giveaway into motion. Although there is nothing new about a giveaway, people have been having them for a long time before I started blogging. I want to give credit to the lovely and talented blogger Kathleen over at Grosgrain for inspiring me to do the same.

You might be wondering why I would want to give something away to someone I don't even know? As an artist it makes me feel amazing when someone asks for my work. The fact that someone would want to hang up something that I created with my own imagination and God given talent makes me feel happy. So if you like little "Flower" and you would like to give her a home please just post a comment. I will choose a winner on Monday, July 21. My hope is that I will get a good response. I would like to do a giveaway of my art at least two or more times a month. I will cross my fingers.

P.S. If you want to link my post to your blog, and you mention the "Very First Artfulife Giveaway on your blog, I will add your name twice to the drawing. Good duck, I mean luck!
