2 winners and a new give-away!

Thanks so much for visiting and leaving your sweet comments ♥

 I’m very late this week with my entry for Paint Party Friday. That’s because I had to wait for the kids to come back from school so they could draw the 2 winners of the give-away.  They thought it was all very exciting, so it took a while, and after drawing the winners and taking pictures it was time to go to badminton practice. So now it’s already evening in Australia.

I’m linking this to PPF, although I don’t have much to show this week. Because I’m doing another market in December, and very ambitiously signed up for a 2,5m space, I am now in a frenzy to make more stuff. 

This is what I got so far:

Not much, I know …. But all the groundwork is done. The sanding, first layer of paint, second time sanding, second layer of paint. They are all ready to be tackled now.

Yesterday I received my calendars in the mail! I hadn’t expected them for another week since I only ordered them last Friday. So it was a big surprise. And I’m so happy with them! The paper is nice and sturdy, so the pictures can still be used as prints when the year is over. Last year I experimented for the first time with making a calendar. I ordered one from Vistaprint, but was rather disappointed with the outcome. The paper was too thin and it all looked too flimsy. But this one from Lulu is exactly as I wanted it. Here are some pictures:

And now about the give-away … Thanks to all who signed up, I’m really grateful that so many of you would like to have a piece of my art. I used the old-fashioned way of writing all your names down on a piece of paper ;-)

My kids were arguing about who got to draw the first prize and the second prize, so I had to explain that both “prizes” were equal, and they finally decided that my daughter was allowed to draw the winner of the print:

Blindfolded, because that’s waaay more exciting ….

And the winner of the print is ……

 

Congratulations Gina! Please send me your postal address and I’ll get this print in the mail first thing on Monday!

And then it was my son’s turn:

 

And the winner of the 5 postcards is …..

 

Congratulations Anja! I have a lot of different postcards, and I put them all on my new website www.denthe.com. If you click this link , it should bring you straight to the postcards. Let me know which cards you would like to have, and the address to post it to, and I’ll send them to you next week.

To all who didn’t win: don’t be disappointed, because I’m doing another give-away! Yes, that’s right! Why? Because I need your help to spread the word about my calendar. I am not on Twitter, and not that involved on Facebook either, so I can’t reach out to a whole lot of people.

So I’m giving away a calendar if you’re willing to help me spread the word. I know that some of you bought the calendar already, so in case I draw your name, just let me know and then you can have a choice between the calendar or the print or 5 postcards. Sounds good? Here’s what you need to do to be in the draw:

You “promote” my calendar on your blog, post it to your friends on Facebook or Twitter about it. Or better yet: do all three ☺ . When you do, please put this link in your post, so it brings them straight to my Lulu-shop.  After you’ve done that, please let me know, either in the comments below or email me. That way anonymous followers also have a chance to win. You can use images of the calendar, but please link back to this blog if you do. 

That’s it! So your name could go in the draw three times if you blog, update your friends on Facebook and twitter about it. Please make sure that I know how often I should put your name in.

Well, this post is becoming way too long, so that’s it for now. Oh yes, one more thing: I, or rather one of my kids (ew, they will be arguing again I’m afraid ….), will draw the winner on Friday the 16th of November. So you have 2 weeks to do this. Hope you will!

Thanks for stopping by! Don’t forget to look at all the beautiful art on PPF. I’ll try to get around to everybody this weekend .

Hope your Friday and your weekend will be relaxing and sweet! ♥ ♥ ♥
