The long in coming 100th post and a giveaway to celebrate

It took me over 3 years, but I finally have reached the 100th post for this blog. (Slacker blogger, I know). When I started this blog, I didn’t know what I was doing. It has been a trial and error process and it can be very frustrating for me, even now. I am a hands on learner and to read how to do something sometimes (ok, usually) doesn’t click in place and it takes multiple tries before I figure it out. But I continue to try and I learn small things and move to the next challenge. I don’t mean to have long time periods away from the blog, but sometimes life gets in the way. I’m trying really hard to stay committed to posting on a regular basis (a few times a week) throughout 2011.

As a thank you to the few readers who visit me here, I wanted to offer a giveaway as a thank you. I really do appreciate the time you take to click over here and “see how I’m doing.” I cant decide what to offer. So here’s my idea. I have this mixed media piece. It is done with prismacolor pencils, acrylics, and collage. It has lots of sparkly glitter and rhinestones and even some gold leafing. It also has some fabric flowers attached. It hangs from a sheer ribbon. Its not real big, 6” x 12”.

I also have a poppy jasper pendant with sterling silver spiderweb detail that I beaded into a necklace. It has a garnet center in the spiderweb. The poppy jasper donut freely spins. It is about 19” long and has a sterling silver toggle clasp.

I will let the winner of the giveaway choose which prize they would like.

So, how do you enter? Just leave me a comment on this post. I’ll pick a winner (random names in a hat method) on Friday. Well say cutoff for entry is noon Eastern Standard Time on Friday.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ll visit again.

  2. Congrats on your 100th post! I didn't know much about blogging when I started, and it can really take up a lot of your time. I think posting a few times each week is great....and that's my goal for this year, too.

  3. Congrats on reaching 100 posts! Both pieces are beautiful but I think I would go with the pendant. I'm rediscovering my love of jewelry and my "goth" side lately.
    Hugs,
