GIVE-a-WAY!!!!

Okay, well one of my BFF, The Nester, is having a wonderful Mr. Linky Party! She is really wanting to have a handmade holiday this year - and who wouldn't!? And let me just say - I like the word "handmade" much better than "home-made"! When I think of "home-made", I think of those crafts that everyone got into during the 80's and early 90's. The time when everyone and their momma thought they were really good at crafts? The first thing that comes to mind - only because someone recently reminded me of this - is the sweatshirts with the "puff-paint". Anybody remember this??

{this picture has NOTHING to do with puff-paint - I just wanted to show you some original art. And yeah, I painted those cool chairs, too!}

So, anyways {I know you want me to get on with it} - she {The Nester} is hosting this fabulous party! A party where you can find a bajillion things crafted by humans {and not robots!} I'm so stoked for the holidays - stoked I tell ya'! Orders have already started for the Christmas season and I'm loving it!!!! For all those who don't know, I use the money I make to pay for Mom's Day Out. I need MDO - I have 4 kids people - 4 kids, ages 3 and under! It is detrimental for my sanity {and possibly their life} that they continue to go to MDO! That means I have to sell my paintings! I just have to! Not only do these paintings pay for the steep tuition, but will also provide the dough needed to buy Christmas gifts this year. So, the more you buy, the better the Christmas will be for all my "babies".

{this is my oldest baby - 3 1/2 year old Hudson! But he was only 2 in this picture! He says, "Please buy a painting."}

So, go check out the website. Mosey around! See something you like AND order it.

If you don't know what you want - just get a gift certificate!!! How simple can it be. Go ahead, click on the logo - don't be shy . . . . just do it.

And for those who are not familiar with the holiday sets I've started creating - in a few weeks I will "unveil" my Christmas piece! {Unveil - doesn't that make it sound like something fabulous!} Such as the Halloween set above, I will only make a limited quantity and when they are gone - they are GONE!


And in honor of this party, I thought I would do a GIVE-a-WAY!! Instead of giving a painting away {like I have done in the past,} I'm going to give a $35 gift certificate away instead! That $35 gift certificate will get you a classic collection piece - it will also take care of the shipping {AND the incredibly high tax if you live in the Tennessee area!} OR you can apply the $35 to another painting {or a larger gift certificate for gifting purposes} if you don't want a painting from the classic collection! Now, what is better than a gift certificate?? You can keep it OR you can give it away! I will make sure it is properly filled out to whomever **you want to have it! {**you being the one that wins this give-a-way!}


Now, leave me an awesome comment - and for those who have a piece of my art, leave a comment about how much you love my art!

{Leigh Ann - just a little sneaky peeky! I will post the picture in full tomorrow}

I will end the contest on Friday morning at 8:00 am {that's central time!} Good luck! Now, don't forget to go back to THE NESTER to visit more fun people!
