Giveaway and Chalk One Up

I'm like a kid with a piece of chalk! I love having this chalkboard in my kitchen to decorate with the seasons. It's also great for notes and menus.
It's time for my final giveaway of the year! Leave a comment on this post and I will use a random number generator to pick the lucky winner on Thursday morning (the 18th) at 10 am central time. All comments must be in by that time to qualify. Only one entry per person please and please give me an email address with your comment or a link to your blog so I can contact the lucky winner. You will win the following:
An 8" x 10" Fruitcake Cupcake print which has touches of glitter on the frosting. You may click on any of the photos for a closer view.
Two glittery hand painted ornaments that measure 2 1/2 " x 2 1/2".

Both have a decorative wire and bead trim attached to the bottom.






Good luck and Merry Christmas!!

    More pieces of beautiful work, Cathie!

    I love the chalkboard. While I've been rummaging around in storage I ran across a long narrow frame. I think I'm going to try to do a chalkboard, using that frame, for the door that goes to the garage. I've wanted one there, for a long time. I had a little one, but I like the larger ones.

    Oh how have I missed this? Better late than never, I'm hoping. These are such adorable pieces, Catherine.

    I see that you are taking a break from painting for the remainder of the year. Now I'm just wondering if that will prove true or if you'll start getting twitchy about December 28. :D

    Your Christmas elves are so cute!
