And the birdie goes to...
Number 23!
Here's how it worked...as comments were made, I entered the names into a spreadsheet. Then, as links were made, I entered those names into the spreadsheet, so the numbers don't match the number of comments. So who the heck is #23, anyway?
It is steviewren of A Little Birdie Told Me So! Somehow, that just seems perfect, don't you think? Actually - I guess if Ann of Blue Bird Hill had won, it would have been a little more perfect and strangely coincidental, no? In any case, congratulations steviewren! I hope my little bluebird finds a happy spot in your home!
Speaking of Ann, she said some very nice things about my bird paintings over at her blog, and gave me an award, which I will try to pass along tomorrow, after I've considered what seven things you lovely internet people don't already know about me. Thank you, Ann - I really appreciate your kind words and the award!
And, just to spread some more love about the blogosphere, I have to marvel at how generous friends can be - even friends that you've never met face-to-face. Chris Beck and I have never met in person, and yet we've really enjoyed getting to know each other through our blogs and emails and Twitter and Facebook. I want you all to click over there and see what she's got on her blog. Go.
Right now - I'll wait...
How cool is that? Yeah - I know. Pretty DANG cool. Thanks, Chris - you're just awesome.
Okay - that about sums it up, except to say thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway, I wish I had 43 paintings to give out, because you'd all get one.
But I don't.
I only have one more to give away. Next Friday.
So come back, okay?
Since I started blogging, I've been amazed at the number of wonderful friends I've made here. My little bird was not only a chance to spread the joy, but the perfect reason to get back into my studio and pick up my paintbrushes after a slump. So thanks to you too, for inspiring me!!
