Giveaways! Giveaways! Giveaways!


One of the great experiences I've found is winning something you absolutely adore, especially when it is made from the heart...something that makes you feels good everytime you look at it, something that can enhance your home or something you really could use, like a big, stack of fabrics! (Alas, I didn't win the Halloween giveaway in the previous post. That's alright.  It was fun, nevertheless!) Couple this with the fact of supporting an artist, at the same time, makes it all that much more fulfilling. Personally, I feel we need more art in our lives, in our schools, and in our world.  More art needs to be brought to light.

Which brings me to these giveaways!  Anytime I learn there is a giveaway from one of the doll organizations I belong to, I'm going to share it here with all of you, in case you are interested in participating.  Usually, the only requirement is to leave a comment on the artist's blog.   

There are a lot of them currently going on now.   

Ends November 7 - The first one if from Cody Goodin who is celebrating a milestone.  Her blog has reached over 75 followers!  Congrats, Cody!  She recently caught a Sea Goblin while fishing.  Since her home is already filled with the stomp fomp of monster feet, she really needs to find this one a new home.  To sneak a peek and enter, go to Codyland .
