give-away winners

Has your anticipation kept you from sleeping all weekend?

Well, I've made an executive decision to give ALL my commenters a CD!

There were just 8 of you that commented - awesome comments I might add.

I loved hearing about your favorite Christmas songs and your shared stories.

How could I choose 5 winners and leave just 3 of you with no CD?
That seemed like cruel and unusual punishment somehow.

So! Congratulations to:
Lauren
Chopsticks and Spaghetti
Cate
Popi and CeCe
Lisa
storybeader
Cindy
Scatterbox (Tina)

Yeah, I know, I'm such a giver and all... but I think you're all the BOMB :) 

Please e-mail me your names & addresses so I can send these out!!!

megibug (at) gmail (dot) com

In the meantime, here's some Straight No Chaser for your entertainment :)

It just doesn't get more awesome than that! :D

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!

Giveaway Winners!

Last night when everything was quiet except for the rain, I held the most awesome little ceremony :) First I wrote down each and every name of all those of you who had made happy birthday blog comments (which I am still over-the-moon about... you guys are JUST. THE. BEST). Then I pulled out my great-grandmother's wooden salt barrel (is it not so amazing!!!) and put all the neatly folded pieces of paper inside.
I took a photo to document all the little pieces of paper were cozy inside, just as they should be! Then I covered the top of the barrel with my hand, shook it up real well, and without looking, I drew out 4 slips of paper. The ANTICIPATION! SO EXCITING! (except that 2 pieces of paper snuck inside 2 of the 4 pieces I drew - devious little things! lol)

And HERE ARE OUR WINNERS, in order of drawing them!!!

The first 3 winners are:

• My *adorable* friend Sara from the colorful and inspiring blog Sara's Art House!
• My long distance friend and fellow Family Folk Art lover Kelly from New York City!
• My *dear* friend Cindy from the lovely and popular blog Quaint Handmade!

You wonderful peeps may choose whichever Wild Child Arts notecard set you like :)

My GRAND PRIZE winner is:

• Faithful reader *amazing* Amy Cazier - super mom, super wife, super person all around!

Amy, you may choose whichever Wild Child Arts 2010 calendar you like :)

*** the calendars are nearly done - I'm still waiting for the spiral bindings! Just stay tuned... almost there...!!!

And you will notice 2 pieces of paper with names on them below our winners. These are the devious papers that snuck inside 2 pieces of paper I drew! lol! So because you are cheeky - and mostly because I like you:

• My *beautiful* friend inside and out, Naomi from California
• My *lovely* no-longer-a-lurker friend, Barb from Pennsylvania

You both may choose whichever Wild Child Arts 5x7 photograph you would like :)

YIPPEEEEEEEE!!! What an awesome day full of WINNERS!!!

*all winners please e-mail me at megibug at gmail dot com*

Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment. I am happy to say that this is the first of many fun giveaways I have planned for the future of Wild Child :)

But you know what? I am the real winner. Like I have already said, your comments have meant more to me than you'll ever know. You coming here to read my blog means the world to me. What a year this has been! I've tried to put it into words and I just can't. But I do have such a full heart, and I feel like my life is full of blessings all around me. And you are such a huge part of all those blessings. Thank you with all my heart for being here ❤

And here's to another amazing year at Wild Child!!! xoxoxo
