Happy 2011! 3rd Year BloGIVErsary!!!

Hello lovely bloggers! Happy 2011 to you all! I know I've been MIA for way too long, but I hope to get back on track and continue to share my creative journey with you. With that in mind, I do want to apologize for my delayed responses to your comments, emails and inquiries. Life just gets a bit overwhelming during the Happy Holidays. Now that my concentration is back though, I will respond to you all shortly. Thanks for your understanding!

I still can't believe another year has flown by so quickly. My path so far has been filled with the joys of finding myself as an artist and I want to thank you all so much for accompanying me through my imagination. I really appreciate all the love and support you have given me. It means more than you know.



With that said, today is my 3 Year Blogoversary! Yayyy! And to celebrate this wonderful New Year's Day of new beginnings, a giveaway is in order. One lucky winner will receive this original 6" x 8" painting on canvas board created by me.


This painting was at first created with the One World One Heart Giveaway in mind. When I realized I wouldn't be able to participate in that upcoming event afterall, I knew this angel painting had another destiny in mind to find her new home.


So let's get down to business. The simple rules to participate are as follows:


1. Leave me a comment (on this post only)

OPTIONAL ENTRIES
2. Share my giveaway button located at the top of this post with my link on your blog for a second entry (Please comment here if you do that too)

3. Become a Follower for a third entry (This includes
current Followers already)


It's that easy!


Polls Close:

11:59 pm PST on Wednesday, January 12, 2011.

Winner will be announced on Thursday, January 13th.

My giveaway is open to everyone with an active blog
worldwide.




Happy New Year's again and Thank you so much for your continued support in my art!

Good Luck to you all!

Hugs,
Lisa :)
