Guy's 2nd Giveaway

I'm just going to say it, we are having a miserable spring here in Minnesota. Ice, snow, cold weather and dreary days are really taking a toll on everyone. It has been ten years since we have had a heavy snow like this in April and we have gotten spoiled. I am really starting to get cranky about this, so what to do? Well I have decided to distract myself with more pleasant things like giving away more fun items to all of you! 

First of all I want to congratulate Debbie Nolan, she is the winner of the "Smudge" book! Debbie is a fantastic watercolor artist and you can view some of her art on her blog called View From Harmony Hills. Thanks to everyone that entered.

For those of you that didn't win, don't worry I will be having many more giveaways in the future. In fact this month, I am going to try to do one each week. Thereafter, I will try and do one each month, until I run out of stuff.  Judging from my house, I doubt that will ever happen!






 Yellow Chicks: Free to a Good Home

  

 

I made these little chicks over a year ago now and put them in my Etsy shop thinking they would sell right away.  Alas, they have been neglected and even though they have been favorited and put in several Etsy treasuries, no one actually wanted to pay for them.  Fortunately my vintage items have sold well; my little shop is slowly growing and I have enough to do to keep me busy without actually making anything! 

So these little chicks need to go to a good home.  They are actually about the size of real chicks, they are made of paper mache and have been molded, hand painted and glittered.  They have little feathers on their bums for tails and even though Easter has past, they would still look cute with your spring decor. 

If you would like to win the Yellow Chicks, please say so in your comments and make sure you are a follower of my blog.  If you win, I would love it if you would share my blog and shop links with others or write about it on your own blog, however that is not a requirement. I will pick a name at random and then post the winner in about a week.  Good luck to all!

Since this is Guy's Giveaway, I thought I better post a picture of him.  We are still celebrating his one year birthday this month, so I thought it was appropriate to show what he looked like last year when we brought him home.

  3. Congratulations to Debbie, the lucky winner! I hear you about spring. We were fortunate enough not to get the snow that was predicted, but we didn't get off easy. Jack Frost visited and painted the town 'icy'. Everything was frozen. There were icicles hanging off the roof, the trees, the cars, the bird bath...you name it. The temperature has finally risen and the ice is beginning to melt. So far, spring has been terrible. I hope things get better soon because I'm getting cranky, too!

    Please count me in for those cute little chicks. They are bright and sweet and cheery --- just what we need in this weather. And guy looks so cute in that photo. Oh my goodness...he was so tiny!

  4. Greeting dear friend. The weather has gotten crazier and crazier ... now don't be mad at me, but I've had it with way too hot weather. Although we've had a marvelous March, so far April has been the hottest on record .... high 80's for the day and high 60's at night ... hot and humid and it's just awful ... when I moved here from southwest Florida I thought at least the weather would be a bit cooler up here, but no such luck. When I lived near your state I can remember it snowing in May some years, so neither extreme is very good for our well-being. Love those chicks, but I'm not interested in winning .... I have way too much "stuff" myself.

    Happiness always,
    Jan
