“NOEL” Giveaway!! 100th Posting

Today marks my 100th posting on my blog!  This is quite a milestone for a person, who just a couple of years ago, rarely ventured into anything remotely connected to the “computer,” unless it was absolutely necessary.  To say I have “Come a long way, baby” is a true understatement! (Obviously, still having problems with McLinky, though:)! With my website shop I have found a place to share and sell my artwork.  And, with my blog I have met the most interesting, creative, and talented people that have inspired me, made me laugh, made me reflect, and many times have brought me to tears in the shared humanity of our lives.  To celebrate the joy that you all have brought to my life through this blogging journey, I am gifting my seashell,

noelgiveaway

“Noel” letters to one of you very special people for the holidays!  These are six inch, beveled wood letters that I have hand-painted with cottage-white paint with a silver-toned glaze overlay.  Each letter is silver-beaded and shell encrusted and ready to be hung on a wall, if you so desire.

If you wish to be a part of my 100th posting celebration giveaway, the rules are simple:

-Comment on this post for one chance.

-Comment and become one of my followers for two chances.

-Blog about it and grab my button below or my “NOEL” picture on my sidebar (please link either icon back to artfuldesign.blogspot.com)artfuldesignbloglogo

for four chances.  And, please let me know that you have done so.  Thank you!

The deadline for this giveaway is November 29, 2010.  I will announce the winner on November 30. 

Thank you, again, for the “joy” that you bring to me!

I am joining in with White Wednesday at Kathleen’s Faded Charm blog.  Join us for the fun by linking on the icon below.

  42. Hi Patti!
    I just discovered your blog and am in awe of your creative talents! I need to check my abundant stash of magazines and see if I have the one you were featured in!
    My sister has a dachshund and I know what sweeties they are. Your Gracie is precious and I know you must miss her terribly. The pic of her napping on the afghan is so cute.
    I'm going to stay and read more and then post your giveaway on my blog!

    My buddy over at Signs & Salvage sent me over here for your give-away. That is stunning and I'd love to be the receiver.....but I'm saddened to see little Gracie's "in memory" photo...she looks an awful lot like my Lucy who is 7 years old. Don't you just love dauschunds? Please count me in.
