It could be your lucky day!

I was inspired today by an invitation from Kim Hughes for people to visit her blog (http://www.paperhugs.typepad.com/). So in honor of her blog, I am going to offer someone an opportunity to get lucky today. If I receive 10 or more comments on my blog today, I will draw a name, and send out a prize to some lucky person (who lives within the continental U.S.). Winner will receive something handmade and something new (can you tell that I haven't decided on a prize yet?).
Well, this being an art related blog, it is only fair that I post a picture of something, so...here is a sneak peak at an upcoming class. This picture really doesn't do the colors justice, but this is part of a Valentine Accordian Gift Card I will be teaching January 26th in Salem, and February 9th in McMinnville. The stamps I used are from some of my favorite sets, Crillon I and Crillon II, by Li'l Davis Designs.

I visited my local stamp store today, so I am off to play with my new supplies.
Thanks for visiting!

Hello :)
Your blog looks great! I hope you get tons of visitors :)

I lived in Milwaukee, OR for a year which I don't think is too far from you.

Hi Neighbor! (I'm next door in WA state). I saw your comment on Kim Hughes' blog and thought I'd stop by and say HI.

Oh and I think PRIORITIZE should be MY word this year too! Well, that and BALANCE... I'm in desperate need of both.

I'm not a stamper or scrap booker (My sister is though) but I do occasionally use them in my art - stamping a single object and adding my puppy cartoons to build an illustration around it.

You're more than welcome to check out my blog (http://kiniart.livejournal.com/)

Hi Valonda,

I thought I would let you know how awesome I think you are and am glad to see you have taken your arts to a new level.
Hope to see you soon...maybe for some pepper.

Hi everyone,
We are getting close...I had a comment from a friend that I somehow lost, so I am pasting it in from my email...

Hi Valonda,

I'm so glad you started a blog. You have so much creativity, and I'm glad you are using another outlet. Good luck!!

I will add your blog to the list of blogs I visit. I live in Milwaukee, WI so I'm not close enough to take your classes. Disappointing, because they look interesting.

Beautiful blog - I love earth colors. My brother is in Portland - is that far from you? When I visit I'd love to take class if the timing was right. Best wishes!
