blog birthday winners

Alrighty friends! It's time to announce the 5 winners of my blog b-day give-away! 

 I documented the choosing process to make sure everything was fair...

There were 11 people who commented (thank you all again... SO MUCH!)

so each person had almost a 50% chance of being picked... (so close!)

After writing all your names out and giving my jar some really good shakes,

I actually took the jar to Davy and he chose 5 papers out of the jar.

My 5 winners are: Maria Nissen, Alissa Wilkinson, 

Hilary, Heather DelHoyo, and Bev McKinley

YAY WINNERS!!!

You will each receive a 5x7 original photo of your choosing :)

Now click the gumball button on my right side bar -------->

and you will be taken to my 6 page photo portfolio at Zagg.com -

(and no, I'm not having you do this so you'll buy Zagg stuff)

You'll find a large variety of my photos to choose from - over 100 I think!

I posted 2 more examples here today - "Big Orange Heart" and "Crayon Tips".

Reminder: they are sideways in my portfolio to envision them on a cell phone!

You'll need to *click* on a photo you like, to see it larger and as it really is!

If you don't see a photo you thought was there, or have any questions, ask me!

Otherwise, HAVE FUN and I look forward to hearing your selections!

And to ALL who made the effort and took the time to comment, THANK YOU...

like I mentioned in the comment section, it really DOES mean the world to me :)

XOXOXOXOXO

the silvery moon

Supposedly, the last month was one of the best harvest moons we've had.

Here in California, I'm not sure we would have seen the entire beautiful effect,

but I did happen to catch a few neat pics of it soon after sunrise a few weeks ago.

The full moon is my connection to my dad, who has been gone for nearly 15 years.

He used to sing the sweetest little song about the moon all during my growing up.

Every time the moon is full, I think of my dad watching over me and feel he is there.

~

By the light of the silvery moon

I want to spoon, with my honey and croon love's tune

Honeymoon, keep a'shining in June

Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams

We'll be cuddling soon, by the silvery moon.

Today is my blog's 2ond anniversary!

Fun things coming next week in honor of that milestone!

For now I'm dedicating my bloggie birthday to my dad and his silvery moon ❤

Happy 1 Year Blog Birthday!

HAPPY FIRST BLOG BIRTHDAY

TO ALL OF US!!!

Ruffles and diet Coke for everyone!!! LOL! It's true... can you see what I've been up to as I've been oh so very busy today? Oh make no mistake - I started celebrating early :) But hey, I've been working nonstop! Nonstop!

Oh my gosh...... SOOO much to tell! Yes, yes, I know I am SOOO late with my post today! YIKES! And I'm gonna save all the mushy stuff for tomorrow when I announce the winner of my GIVEAWAY! Because remember: you still have all day today to make a comment and enter! It's not too late! I'll be picking all the winners tonight at midnight! Yippeeeee! And for those of you who have already commented, thank you so very, very much. You're just the best readers and friends ever :)

So to say my Wild Child Arts store on Etsy has been slightly transformed would be an understatement. I used to have 4 sets of my notecards in it, so sad and lonely. Well take a peek in my right hand side bar to give yourself a little preview, and then go visit Wild Child Arts yourself! I've got something like 42 items in there now!!! And more are on the way!!! I've finally put together a LOT of AWESOME new notecard sets - all original photography by moi, moi, and only moi. And for the first time, I'm selling original photographs as well. And don't think for one second that I've forgotten about my 2010 calendars - no, no, nooooo!!! They are in the finishing stages! I'm really happy about everything. Actually, I'm ecstatic :) And...... my devious mind is already concocting more items to add, including my original artwork. As in paintings. Like on canvas and everything.

Okay, breathe Megan, BREATHE!!!

So for some birthday fun today, here are just a few examples of what just went into Wild Child Arts. Start perusing, because my winners will want to be choosing which set they want :)

Love and Friendship Notecard Set

Flower Power 3 Notecard Set

Crusty Notecard Set

Hydrangea Love Notecard Set

Quirky Notecard Set

But today wouldn't be today without remembering my humble beginnings here on Blogger one year ago today, and without telling all of you THANK YOU with all my ❤heart❤ for being so WONDERFUL!!! More than you know. Much, much, more. More mush tomorrow, without a doubt xoxoxo

wild child's 1st birthday countdown ~ and GIVEAWAY!

Peeps! I have no idea how it snuck up on me, but wild child's very first birthday is fast approaching! And what a year it's been. I can hardly begin to put it into words. I'm not sure I'll even try. But I'm sharp enough to know that this milestone deserves a big celebration! And you blog readers know what that means... a GIVEAWAY! I've never done a giveaway before. I've always shied away from them, thinking I'd mess it up somehow :/ But I truly have so much gratitude in my heart for all of you wonderful readers who have been so awesome this first year... it's a great time to give some heartfelt gifts from me to you. Because after all, my blog readers totally rock!!! You are the best!!! You make my day!!!

So here's the scoop - put your thinking caps on, okay? My 1 year birthday is next Tuesday, October 13th. That gives you SIX full days to LEAVE A COMMENT ON THIS POST. Tell me your fave thing about wild child - and feel free to make a suggestion of what you might like to see more of in the future. Make sure you leave your NAME and E-MAIL ADDRESS so if your name is picked, I can get ahold of you! That's all you have to do!

Here's the fun part. There will be 3 winners chosen and 1 grand prize winner, all chosen at midnight on October 13th. The 3 winners will each win one set of my hand-made notecards, all featuring my original photographs. They are so new they're not even in my Etsy store yet! And they're awesome! The grand prize winner will receive my hand-made 2010 calendar. This is my first year selling them, and I'm only making a limited edition of 12 for my Etsy store. And they are way cool! *I'm restocking my Etsy store now, so stay tuned :)

Good luck, best wishes, and I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
