A blogoversary giveaway announced during WOYWW

This post to remain above other posts until the close of the giveaway. Please feel free to enter the giveaway, then scroll down for newer posts. Thank you.

Way back in 2005, I started this blog. This was the ONLY post I published that year. And the blog looked a lot different back then, too (As an aside, it is still well over 100 F as I prepare to publish this post tonight. I wonder what the temperature was that day in 2005). It took me another year to fully appreciate blogging. Now I can't imagine not blogging. That's especially true since I am not on any of the other social media sites. So why am I talking about a blogoversary that isn't going to happen until July 10? I'm having a giveaway, that's why! And since I'm an altered artist, the giveaway will come directly from my stash.


At this point, I'm not sure what you'll get, but I suspect I'll throw in some fabric I've dyed or rusted.


It's also a sure bet there will be some alterable goodies like playing cards, puzzle and game pieces, tickets, and probably a laminate chip or two.


I'll dig into my stash of wallpaper, as well as


book pages and sheet music, many of them old or vintage, in order to find the exact right pieces you can use in your collages or art.


Of course, an altered art giveaway wouldn't be complete without bits and bobs of old one-of-a-kind jewelry and other bling I have accumulated over the years.


The one thing I'm sure of is there will also be a double set of never used rubber stamps and a dye pad, both of which I purchased several months ago when I first conceived this event.

And that doesn't even include my handmade and hand painted papers I will send that anyone should like.


I'll include all these and as much more as I can stuff into a flat rate envelope, along with a handmade quiltlet, made specifically for the winner. If the winner's country doesn't allow flat rate envelopes, I will fill a large padded envelope with the same goodies. So as long as you live anywhere in THIS world, you are welcome to join in.

So here's the deal. Just like with my AB class I'm teaching, there are NO obligations, other than you must leave a comment so I know you stopped by.

You have until July 10, the day of my blogoversary, to leave a comment on THIS POST to be eligible for the giveaway. Other than that, there is nothing else you have to do. No hoops, no commitments.

This is my way of giving back to a community that has shared so much with me. Thanks to each and every one of you who have made my blogging experience so much fun.
