HAPPY MARDI GRAS!!! AND THE WINNERS ARE....(but read the whole post)

It was tough.....I want everyone to win, but dang it, THREE doesn't go around to FORTY-FIVE.   *SOB!*
So I had to sit down and handy-dandily get the random vibe (via random.org, grazie!) going this fine Mardi Gras morning to announce where the copies of "Secrets of Rusty Things" and the skellie, Golden fluid and another little *perk* (see photo) will be winging off to!

Where are we GOING??? oh boy!oh boy!

Book #1 goes to: Numinosity Beads! Whooo-hoooo!

Book #2 goes to: Audrey! Whooo-hoooo!

OH! LOOK!!! A tube of Kroma crackle joined the fun!!!

The skellie-art package goes to: Cameron! Whooo-hoooo!

Congratulations to all, and thank you for taking the time to sign up!!! And please contact me with your addys so I can get things in the post. :-) 
Now for the Rest of the Story......I ordered a couple more books, and had this delightful delusion they would have ARRIVED by now. I have not received any information that the order was canceled, so IF/WHEN they get here, I will do a second draw from the original list. I have closed comments on the post so everyone who went there still has a chance.
It was just a bit of lagniappe....a thank you for the followers, and would have been so appropo on Fat Tuesday.
Ah well.
Keep an eye to the blog! I'll let you know what is transpiring as soon as possible! In the mean time, I may be off blog a few days as I try and finish a few projects and (omg) clean the studio, which is in a never-ending state of decay.
I'm posting photos.....it should guilt me into doing it.

WORK??? WHERE???

This was supposed to be folded down and put away....sigh...

Okay, so there *is* a tiny clear spot......but not ENOUGH!!!

Perfect penance for my behavior......eh?

Now, go make art!!!

AND THE WINNERS ARE!!!!!

You've all dressed in your finest.....

...Waited patiently while names were accumulating and being tabulated...

...In fact, some of you have gone to , ummmmm, almost extremes to bribe the blogmistress and prove yourselves worth on the prizes (and it HAS been entertaining!)....

And eventhough every one of you are winners in my eyes, (and you should know that!)

"Love Letters"

goes toooo......

Studio Lolo!!!

And "With Love From Mardi Gras"

goes toooo.....

Sophia @ Blue Chair Diaries!!!

Now, I had over 150 people enter this giveaway, so I printed out 8 greeting cards of the "Love Letters" image and pulled eight more names.....

You know me; I'm a softie, but there were SO MANY, and I would loved to have sent something to EVERY SINGLE PERSON!!!

So the winners on the greeting cards are:

1. Emma

2. Wickedly Devine Creations

3. Sandy

4. Gloria

5. Lori Saul

6. Magpie's Mumblings

7. Marie Segal

8. KJ

So if all of you will go to my profile page and send me your info in an e-mail, I will start packaging tomorrow and get things in the post hopefully Friday. (I have DH home starting Thursday....this could delay my best laid plans, ya know...)

Again, THANK YOU to all who participated and signed on as new followers and big CONGRATULATIONS to our grand prize winners!

Now I need to go take a break and rub my eyes from all the counting and color changes.....

By the way, "Love Letters" will soon be available as a print, the same size as the original. I will let you know cost when I know how many people are interested. Just pop me an e-mail and we will go from there.

Have a great day, all of you!!!!
