ARTSPARK Giveaway Day 3&4!

Yesterday Gloria Hansen offered her amazingly wonderful book
Digital Essentials. You can leave a comment on her blog 
any time between now and next Friday when a winner will be drawn.

If you need to work with digital images in any way - resizing, posting to a website - you NEED this book! Gloria is a quilter extraordinaire - and the most generous computer guru I know.

In fact, don't wait for the drawing - just go buy it here (where you can also read a free chapter.)




Tracie Lyn Huskamp takes her turn TODAY. She's giving away a copy of 
Nature Inspired, one of the loveliest mixed media journaling books I have the pleasure to own.
Again - leave a comment on Tracie's blog (find the specific post about her giveaway) between now and August 19th.

Faces on Friday

Eureka! The top row, left - looks like my husband!!!!

So I'm getting to the point where if I take more than 60 seconds to

do the drawing and use an eraser - I can do it!
