One fantastic give-A-way . . .

I’M NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY!

But Kelly is!!! And let me tell you – it is way better than any art that I would give away!!! Everybody knows Kelly! That is one popular girl! With one gitisimo heart of gold. And she has a great southern accent {I do to. Saying I have an accent, not that it’s great – but it is totally Tennessee – hers is so Arkansas and I love it! haha} I know that when I meet her in real life {because I know I will} We are going to be great friends!!! This girl is giving away a flippin’ computer! An HP TouchSmart PC! I just told my husband I wanted one of these! Go check it out NOW! But don’t enter . . . . it lessens my chances of winning! I was just told to blog about it – NOT to ask you to enter the give away {haha!} As long as you understand this, we are good!!

__________________________

So, I’m still painting {like some mad woman on some kinda crazy drugs!} And I’m determined to keep up this pace {if not faster!} So, I’m hoping you will see all kinds of art this week!!!

This canvas was a challenge . . . . but only until I got started. Once the paint hit the canvas, it came to me. So, I’m admitting that I had no plan for this one! Color wise that is! See, it is a gift. And the giver really like the “Stella” painting . . . everyone knows which one that one is right??!?! The one on my home page that Emme is posing with even though it was Emme and the painting said Stella {?} So, what was the problem, you ask since she knew what she liked? Well, I was told they call this kid “Bulldog.” The Stella painting was predominantly pink . . . not quite the bulldog type, ya’ know! So, we racked our brains about all the colors I could use. I should add that I had no bedding to match. But I did know that the walls were green – but not a specific green color.


So, I just started painting . . . . and I’m soooo happy with the results!


It is slightly different in design to the Stella – but this is a 12×12. I didn’t have as much space to paint – so I kept it to the basic flower design but with no glitter, beads or bling! {By request!}



I’m into my little dots lately! {The reason you are seeing alot of them!}

Okay – I’ve got to paint like mad, RIP tonight {which I swear I’ll tell you guys about that soon,} drop off the kids with dinner back at the house and then finish up my Christmas shopping because NO I didn’t do that by the end of November! Lonnie is going to be gone to Maryland/DC for a military conference for a few days and I have to nip that before he leaves or it will drive me nuts! I say all that to say I’ll be back tomorrow with more art!

btw – Z is for Zadie . . . I’m sure you guys wanted to know!

I know – just another cool name!

I only have a minute . . .

***edited again – okay, the deadline is midnight Wednesday {the 17th.} Small words is sitting with over 500 comments {as of 10:30 Monday night} but there are still 7 people that have more! People, we have to make some tracks if small words is going to have the most comments . . . . remember I’ll do a give-a-way next week if I have the mostttt! And it will be for something better than today’s give-a-way! Go see the Nester and comment!! Pa-Leez! And folks – there are some super cute and great stuff over there {other than mine!} And it’s Free! The kind of free you DON’T work for! Check it all out!

**edited – the POST is up!!! Go comment!

Guess what – the Nester is doing all kinds of crazy give-a-ways today! And guess who is giving a $50 gift certificate??? Just guess! Okay, I’ll tell you - ME!!!

Lucky you, she is doing it right! Every hour or so, a new post will go up with a different give-a-way.

And all you have to do is leave a comment! THAT is IT, people! You don’t have do all that mess where you go to the person’s site, find your favorite thing, come back to Nester, comment about your favorite thing. NOR do you have to post about it on your blog! Or my personal fave – put a button on your blog promoting that business/blog! Jeesh! Uhmmm, yeah – can you tell that all gets on my last nerve?? So, many of these give-a-ways are traffic driven! Let’s just have some stinkin’ freebies!!!!! No work involved! If you do it right – they will come back! Guaranteed!!!!

Get cracking and get over there and start leaving comments! Last time she did a give-a-way for a piece of mine, I got almost 1000 comments! One of my shining moments! Now, let’s get it over the thousand mark this time! Please! Tell everyone you know! I want to be the give-a-way”er” that has the most comments!

If I am – I’ll do another give-a-way next week here on my blog!! But only if I get the most comments out of all the Nester’s give-a-ways that go up today by the deadline {which I believe is Thursday, the 18th!} Now – go to the NESTER’s blog {and as of 7:16 am central time my post is not up yet!} and get to commenting!

Now, I know what you are thinking – I just preached about traffic driven blogs and then I just offered up a give-a-way if I have the highest number of comments on my post at the nester’s – but that give-a-way {for next week} is for you – My dear readers! The ones who devote their time to come back and read about my kids, my art and {maybe} me?! Day after day – you come to the EP blog to see what the heck is going on in my crazy world! THAT is who that give-a-way will be for! Not for the random strangers who peek once and never come back!

Did I tell you how much I love you lately?

Thanks – and you have a great day now. . . YOU deserve it! {tee hee}

baby story, baby story – I know – it’s ready to post! But I wanted to get through today’s post of a give-a-way . . over at the Nester! A $50 Gift Certificate! From me! You know you want it! Now, go get it!!

I’m paying it forward!

Several posts ago, I told you guys that I wanted to pay it forward. Well, I am. I’m doing a give-a-way! BUT instead of doing it here on my blog, I’m doing it here on her blog! Everybody knows Mrs. Nester – and if you don’t, you must go see her! She rocks AND she makes the cutest tassels EVER!!!!

Well, don’t wait for an invite – go enter the drawing!
