Blogaversary Giveaway Winners!

 



Hello dear Friends! 

Thank you again so much for all of your kind comments and for signing up for the giveaway - which is just a small token of gratitude I love doing each year. Thank you for being here! 


Over the weekend I watercolor painted the cards that I will also be sending to the winners. So here is a peek at them. I had blank cards with floral bouquets sketched on them. I thought that would fit nicely with the Valentines theme. 💝  In the process I mix my own colors, layer the colors to add dimension (so I let areas dry between layers), and I'm learning shading and shadows etc. It's truly a hobby I am loving! I will be putting my initials & the year on the front of the cards and then write a message for each of the winners. :) 







And here is how I got the names together and drew them. It's pretty high tech. Lol

here are all the names written on strips of paper I cut up



here's a closer view so you are sure to see your name in the mix and that I didn't miss anyone 💗


put all the names in a bowl and shuffled them up


Here's a reminder of what the 1st person will receive:


And here's my handsome and sweet assistant drawing the first name and the winner is....


congrats to you!!



And here is a reminder of what the 2nd person will receive:





And that winner is...





congrats to you!!



Congratulations to Karen and to Marilyn! Please email me at cbeargroup15@gmail.com so I can get your address and make arrangements to ship your goodies to you. 😊💗

Thanks again to you All dear blogging Besties! I will be back later with my HHM post for today too. I will be gone some of this week and will be taking a blogging break until next week, but I will post my usual Monday post yet today, so please come back and say hi!

Blessings. xo
