Giveaway winners and new schedule

Well, it's now past midnight on Saturday night, it's my 6 month blogoversary, and as mentioned in the giveaway post, the contest is over.

Thank you so much to those who celebrated with me. I can't wait for the next six blogging months. And without further ado, the winners are:


Congrats Buckeroomama and Catherine Denton! I'll be contacting you ladies via email for shipping details.

Thank you so much to everyone who commented. I wish I could give each one of you a copy of both books.

I also have some other blogging business to attend to - June's blogging schedule. I'm going to change things up a bit since I'm still trying out different combinations of what to include in the blog.


  • Mondays: Mondays still get to be my resting day. Hooray for Mondays!
  • Texture Tuesdays: I still love textures, and I'm having so much fun with Texture Tuesdays from Kim Klassen Cafe that I think I'll continue with these posts. 
  • Wednesdays: I don't think I'll have a review scheduled every week anymore. As much as I liked to do them, they took the longest of all my posts! So, if I come across anything I want to review or recommend for you all I'll still do it, but it won't be scheduled. That means, Wednesdays are open. Any suggestions? If not, they'll probably be something like WIP Wednesdays, or sharing with you projects I'm working on.
  • Tutorial Thursdays: This is going to stay the same. I love posting tutorials here.
  • Free for all Fridays: yep, another low pressure day. It's good to begin and end the week on with low pressure blogging, don't you think? 
  • Sketchbook Saturday-Sunday: More Illustration Fridays drawings and sketches. I might also start trying some new media for IF projects. I want to keep stretching my creative wings. 
I appreciate all of you who stop by, read, and comment so much. You mean the world to me. Thank you for making me a part of this creative community. Here's to us, continuing friendships and making new ones!

Celebration Giveaway }{ The Artistic Mother and Blogging For Bliss

6 months! May 29th marks my 6 months blogoversary.

It doesn't seem that long, but still, it's a milestone for me and this lil' blog.

So.... To celebrate, instead of doing a review today I'm doing a giveaway, woo hoo!



The prize: two of my favorite books: "The Artistic Mother" by Shona Cole (you can find my review of it here) and "Blogging for Bliss" by Tara Frey. Tara's book was another influential book in my creative and blogging journey, and I highly recommend it for those of you who blog.

The rules: Just leave me a comment by Saturday May 28th telling me your first choice of the books and a way for me to contact you (either email or a website). You can only leave one comment, any more will be deleted. Two winners will be picked - the first winner will get their first choice, while the second gets the other book (believe me, they're both amazing). International readers are welcome to join the giveaway, and I'll ship anywhere the post office sends packages to.

The time: winners will be chosen randomly (random.org) and posted here on Sunday, May 29th.

So there, two of you will be winning one of two awesome books to celebrate my blogoversary with me. Thank you so much for visiting, supporting, and sharing this journey with me. Here's to many more months together!
