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!

Happy Anniversary

2006

It is hard to believe we have been married for 3 years. The last three years have flown by. I couldn't ask for a sweeter husband to spend my life with. The fact that I can still wake up and feel like the luckiest girl alive says a lot about our relationship. I love you so much my love. 

Can't Wait to see This

Old Red Barn Giveaway

Old Red Barn is the wonderfully creative blog of Dana. Not only does she make these lovely and beautiful quilts but she is a talented photographer and makes really lovely homemade soaps and facial scrubs. Although I have never purchased anything from Old Red Barn ( Just found her blog) I do hope to purchase something in the near future. Take a peek at her lovely site, oh, and don't forget to enter for a chance to win this beautiful quilt.

I know it may seem a little crazy that I am posting these giveaways, but I am all for supporting other artists in their pursuit of artistic goals. What a great way to get your art to those who might not normally have a chance to own something from you. It has inspired me to have my own very first giveaway. I have wanted to do this for a while. Part of me is nervous to have a giveaway, what if no one wants to win what I am giving away? The ultimate humiliation. It's really putting yourself and your talent out on a limb. I am willing. I have made a fool of myself before, it's nothing new to me. Tomorrow I will be posting pictures and details of my very first giveaway. Please come back tomorrow and join the fun!

Ducks & Ducks

The inspiration, Seeing Flowers Dress by Hannah Anderson.

This little duck is for Hailey's birthday.

This little duck will hopefully be going to a special home very soon. 

Today was a super busy day, and the week should only prove to be just as crazy. Sloan starts school on Monday. I am trying to fill the last few days with as much fun as possible. I have tried so hard to make this a special summer vacation for her. It is hard to believe she is now starting the third grade. How fast time flies when you are the mom. Hope everyone has had a great day.
