September Giveaway!
I mentioned last week that I would be having a giveaway in September and I'm now all set to go. I guess there was some benefit to having the flu after all. Having a bunch of days off work & being housebound gave me some time to paint something for my 'spring themed' blog giveaway. Yes, it's now spring! Winter is officially over! Yay! With winter over I'm wondering what I'll now constantly moan about. Fear not folks, I'm sure I'll think of something! The painting I'm giving away is an original acrylic on a 10 x 10 inch (25.5 x 25.5 cm) chunky canvas stretcher. It's been given a protective matte finish. It's called Make a Little Birdhouse in your Soul. Yes, I've been listening to They Might Be Giants a lot lately. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed this band!
I got a little carried away with the adding of the birds. I hadn’t intended to include that many but I was having fun and just kept going. And going. I was aiming for a cheery and chirpy spring kind of vibe and hope I’ve achieved that. If you’d like to win this painting to hang on your wall, or in your tree, or around your neck if you’re into weird big birdy bling, then simply leave a comment saying so. You have until Tuesday 16th September to enter and then I’ll randomly select a name the following day and announce the winner here on Wednesday 17th September. Please ensure that you leave a way for me to be able to contact you should you win. Anybody can enter this giveaway as I’m more than happy to post the painting overseas. Good luck!

Ok then, it seems not everybody shares my enthusiasm for spring. Grouchy ol' Dot!

And wouldn't it be funny if I won twice? lol Pick me, pick me, oh please pick me!
I love this painting T! I don't think you got carried away at all by the birds, see... they're still on the canvas! heh heh
I paid a little visit to YouTube to check out a "They Might Be Giants" video and I really like this band! I gotta tell ya though, they sure remind me of the 80's! ;D
Happy Day! xxoo
Cool piece of artwork!
That is one sweet birdy painting (and I love the little birds that go up and up and up!) Tracy - you are so generous!
I would really love to see it modeled around someone's neck - hee hee! (funny birdy-bling!)
Your painting is lovely - I love the little birdies going up and up and up!
And I say yay to spring - not like grumpy ol' Dot!
Oh, and Dorothy Parker can kiss my jacksy. I LOVE Spring!!!!
HAPPY SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited it's spring - and I can't wait to do my TiLT list tomorrow!
And they are birds, not bats, and that makes it a whole bunch better:)

Unlike Miss Dorothy, I share you love of spring. It is the best season - the one that shows a person that life goes on after a hard winter :)

I am thinking of starting a blog but don't know how. Would you mind if I asked you for help if I don't understand things? I'll look back here for a reply. If you are to busy that is ok
That's great that you'd like to enter my giveaway but you'll need to leave a way for me to contact you should you win. Doesn't have to be a blog link as an email address is fine :)
In regard to your question about blogging, I suggest starting one with Blogspot/Blogger as it's quite easy to use & it's free. I'm afraid I'm not very techie but you can certainly email me if you need some help at any stage. I'll help if I can. My email link is in the sidebar of my blog. Good luck & happy blogging & thanks heaps for visiting mine :)

Gosh, even the MENTION of TMBG brings back some 80s memories. I am going to be humming "Istanbul not Constantinople" all day now.
