I'm A Winner!!

Winning is something I am really not used to!  I don't often win contests or prizes or anything really, so I completely floored when fellow participants of The Summer of Color, sent me congrats.  This is the groovy little package of goodies that I received from Kristin.

Not only is she very talented, but she is a super sweetie.  She hosted the Summer Of Color event and was a truly gracious and lovely host.  I'm so excited to hear that she'll be doing it again, next summer.  If you didn't get a chance to visit and see all the amazing bits of art that everyone did, you should shoot over there now and take a looky loo!  It is colorful and amazing!
I want to thank her for all her hard work and for this lovely and wonderful prize. I'm so excited.  I don't have my art space set up yet, so I haven't had a chance to play with the arty goodness, but I did make a recipe out of that super groovy cookbook.  I have to say, that is the most awesome cook book I have ever seen.  I love it!  And the recipe, was fantastic!!  Our first real sit down meal, in our new house.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I missed the last week of the Summer Of Color Event, which was to show all your art work that you'd done for the event.  So I will do that now!  It won't be done as artistically as so many others did, but I hope you enjoy it either way!
Have a truly blessed and beautiful week!   :)

I did miss a few of the colors and had hoped to make them up, maybe I will once I'm a bit more settled and find all of my art stuff.  Happy day to you!

  6. Congrats on your win Heather! Your S of C artwork is so beautiful I can't really pick a favorite! I love them all. I think maybe I should have done a blog post showing my grouping too but I'm done now, lol! About your request for a print. I don't do prints at least not at the moment. I have to drive 160 miles round trip just to drop off the work and then go back when it's done so I haven't made that step with my art yet. I will keep you in mind tho! E-mail me and maybe we can figure something out.

    Hugs, Jessi xox

  7. Thank you Tara! It was a random win, but I was super excited and grateful.

    Jean, yep, that's my big plan. So many ideas swirling around in my head!

    Thanks Annette. It was truly a fun Summer Event.

    Joanna, I agree, it was really an inspiration. I so enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing so many creative works of art. Yours included! :)

    Thank you Laila! I love that one too, not sure where it came from, but it turned out to be one of my faves, as well.

    Jessi, thanks! I can understand that it's a very long drive. Wow, that would be such a long way to go. I thought I had lived far from town. :) Maybe some time in the future. I love your pictures.

  8. Congratulations on your super win! Summer of Colour has been great fun hasn't it? You have such a variety of artwork created for the different colour themes. I think my favourite is brown, I just love her eyes.

  9. Congratulations, Heather!!

    You are a very deserving recipient. Hey, I hope the dust is settling up there for you!

    I loved them all, but have to say the brown was my favorite. I like the realism in the girl's eyes, and I loved what you had to say about your husband when you commented about the second pic.

    Best to all of you!
