Whose First for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Book?

Who is the first to get the book Making Room for Art through our Sisterhood of the Traveling Book project??? Fist some teaser pictures of my little amigo here... hee hee. Today he got to pick the "winner" I hate to use the word winner, because we're all winners! If this goes as planned everyone who entered will have the chance to have the book sent to them. 

Selecting...

We have a winner...

Yay T over at Poppy Place! So it's going to Oregon. Now T hasn't been feeling very well lately so I hope this brightens her day. I know she'll have something great to contribute to the book. She is an accomplished photographer and painter among many other things.

I want to thank everyone for encouraging this idea of mine and playing along. I've had a little more time to think about how I hope this Sisterhood of the Traveling Book will work and I'd like to share it with you now. Here's what I hope will happen with the book and when you get the book, feel free to copy and paste this as a suggestion:

The Sister in possession of the book:

• Blog that you've got the book!!
• Read it, scan it or just pick out the parts you want to read
• Doodle along pages remembering that it will go to many others (hopefully) so leave some room 
• underline things you think are important or add writing or beg to differ... just add your thoughts or inspiration. You get the idea ;)
• Feel free (prodding here) to post anything you've added with snapshots or scans either in the process or after your done and please make sure email me, cause I am adding a tab to my blog just for this project and will post your pics here too. It doesn't have to be an elaborate post. 
• When your done with the book, please pick from one of the "Sisters" that have already indicated they want to participate. (This is a small change from original plan) I plan to send all the brightly colored tabs of paper with names on it, so this will be easy. This will save you time from having to host your own "giveaway" on your blog. You can announce who the next Sister is and get her address then. So I guess we all need to be following each other or you can get access to their blog from mine and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Book post. 

So I guess the last person is the luckiest, because she will get to keep this beautiful and meaningful journal that just happens to include a book inside it from all these wonderful "sisters". I don't know what we'll do after that, do another one? We'll decide later.

So T, send me your mailing address Sistah! You are the first! (well I guess technically second, hee hee)

If anyone has any other ideas or suggestion, lets hear it. I mentioned that today I had an announcement and I do, but I'm going to post that in another post later today so it will be separate. I will tell you this: It will involve a limited number of people (10) and the first ten who sign up get to do it.

Bye for now Sistah's!!!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I should say winners cause I decided to give away 3 more items because of all the sweet comments I've gotten. So with no further adu...

First prize is a 8x10 matted montage of my photography and short poem by my partner Gale Woolems as part of our GeeJayCreations shop called Listen to your Heart.

First prize winner is... Rebecca of Rebecca's Rainbow Kisses

Second prize is the Celestial Series note card set you've already seen.

Second prize winner is... Marfi of Incipient Wings

Third prize is a handy and pretty little peel off scratch pad called Leopard Jungle, all digital art by me and painstakingly hand cut and glued by none other than yours truly. Notice these are not for sale on my Etsy Shop because they're such a pain in the you know what. (I really want to say pain in the ass, but I'm afraid I'll offend someone. oops.) I have some left over and may list them though. I have many different designs. And yeah, these pictures suck. It photographed them at night with a puny little lightbulb. It... what am I typing? It puts the lotion on the skin... we'll see who gets that movie quote and a favorite line of mine cause I'm kinda twisted like that.

Third prize winner is... Sharon at My Story Art

Finally, a fourth prize is another handy dandy and pretty little peel off scratch pad with a drawing of mine called Man in the Moon for which I also have a blank inside Thank You note card with the same design in my shop. Notice the prize is just for the pad, sorry 'bout your luck.

Fourth and final prize winner is... Regi from Southern OOAKS

Congratulations to all the winners! I really hope you use and enjoy your gifts. If they're not your thing, please feel free to re-gift it with no hard feelings ;) Cause I'm easy like Sunday Morning.

Now my little pretties... tune in later cause as soon as I hear back from all these super duper lucky people and get their goodies mailed off I'm having another little giveaway. Let's plan for Monday, k?

Don't forget if you are a winner, I need to hear back from you with your address no later than Friday night at midnight (my time - central) or again... sorry 'bout your luck and I'll be sending your goods to somebody else on Saturday.
