Winner of third give away and fun at Jan's

Two weeks in a row we were able to get together!  That has been rare this winter in spite of our efforts and desires.  We met at Jan's and our first order of business was to choose a winner of our third give away.  It was April's turn to choose a number, she chose 7 and that made Nita our winner!!  Congratulations Nita, April intends to deliver the altered cigar box and goodies in person to you.  Nita is our second local winner.  Our first winner, Anja, lives clear over in Germany, so these last two winners will be easier to deliver.

April took over Jan's camera and snapped this shot of Jan and Mary.  We had all ordered more of Lyla's books after seeing the one she contributed to our first give away.  They arrived in time for us to pick out our favorites. 

As you can see, Pinky is very pleased with her choice!  Just try and take it away from her!  On second thought, you better not.

Here are the books that Lyla sent us.  We picked our favorites and Jan will list the other one in her Etsy shop for sale.  If you want it, better hurry on over and buy it because I don't think it will be there for long.   Here is a link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Laughingdogarts?ref=pr_shop
I haven't listed it yet but am going to do so right now. 

First Winner!!

I am so excited to post the winner of our very first blog give away!  We had 21 people sign up for it, and with many of them being followers and getting two chances at this, it became 35 possible winning tickets.

I used the scientific method of asking Karen to pick a number between 1 and 37.  She picked 23 because that is Lyla's birthday, and since this is Lyla's give away gift, it seemed appropriate.

So, without further ado (what the heck is "ado" anyway?) our first winner is............

                                                         Anja!

Anja has been a follower for several months now.  She blogs from her home in Germany, here: just-a-moment-in-your-life.  I'm so excited for her!  I know she really hoped to win this.  Well, I know you all did.  Please, go sign up for our next give away which will end on March 8th.  In case you missed the post, here it is again: http://foxontherunarts.blogspot.com/2011/02/second-give-away.html  You must add a comment to that post to be eligible to win the second give away.  There will be more, throughout the month of March, so keep checking back here.  Good luck!  We will be watching out for you.
