Renee Anne Giveaway
Sep. 6 10
This morning, we are kicking off a brand new giveaway with artist Renee Anne. We are giving away this original 4 x 4 inch watercolor painting, which is actually quite special, because it was painted exclusively for papernstitch. How lucky are we? And retails for $20. The bird was painted from Renee’s own photographs from her front yard in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario.
And because Renee has not yet named this painting, she has decided to let you all name it for her. The winning title will receive the original painting. Pretty cool, huh?
Here are all the details on how to enter…
Title this work of art. Come up with a name for this, currently, nameless 4 x 4 bird painting and include it in the comments below. You may enter up to two times. Each entry should include a different, possible title.
*Giveaway will end on Monday, September 20th at 11:59 pm eastern.*
Q & A + Giveaway
Aug. 19 10
I recently had the pleasure of being featured on Lillyella for a fun Q + A. And as part of the interview, we are giving away a $20 shopping spree to one lucky winner who comments right here on the Lillyella blog before this Sunday, August 22 at 10 pm (est).
This is only the second shopping spree we’ve given away this year, so don’t miss it! There may not be another one for a while.
