Blog LOVE

I recently won a giveaway hosted by the lovely Steph of http://themusebehindthemask.blogspot.com/ and http://fantasticfigments.blogspot.com/.

The giveaway was in honor of the featured artist, Amariah Rauscher of http://amariahrauscher.blogspot.com/. Amariah's art is simply breathtaking. I was soooo excited to win! Yay me! The winner of the giveaway was given a chance to choose any print from her etsy shop. This piece is called "Make my hair your Nesting tree". I just love my print. She is beautiful! Thanks Amariah! I can't wait to get her framed. You can find out more about Amariah's amazing art & blog here.

The Muse Behind the Mask is a wonderful site to visit. You have to check it out!

Thank you Sascalia of http://sascalia.blogspot.com/ for tagging me as well with "The six unimportant things that make me happy".

1. The smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. (Okay...anytime of the day works too :)
2. Writing, sketching, painting in my art journal.
3. Going to the bookstore ("I'll only be 5 mins"...yah right!)
4. Shopping at an art store like Michael's or Joanne's (It's like ToysRus for me :)
5. Watching a movie for like the millionth time (Sense & Sensibility and Ever After are always favorite choices)
6. I love reading books but I also enjoy listening to audiobooks. Alot of times you can catch me listening to one while I paint or create.

My six things may not be so unimportant but they sure do make me HAPPY!

Wishing you a wonderful & creative week,
Lisa :)
