1000 Followers Countdown Giveaways!!!

Hi Bloggerettes!

It's time for my "1000 Followers Countdown Giveaways!!!" 

To show how much I appreciate your support and your friendship I am doing a giveaway every two weeks!  I cannot begin to express how much you all mean to me so I'm doing it the best way I know how.....by giving back in a small way.

One of my lovely followers will receive this pretty little pink pillow
and a dainty little pink teacup and saucer.

This next giveaway is included too.
I am very excited about this sweet artwork designed by
award winning artist Lise Galameau.

When I met Lise I fell in love with her and her beautiful art.
She has the sweetest face and speaks with a french accent!
She has won numerous awards for her unique and
beautiful, palm weaving art including a
first place Artist Guild award and museum exhibits of her work.
I am amazed at the adversity that Lise has overcome in her life.
Sadly, she was an abused child and
 was raised in a Canadian Convent. It was there the nuns taught her the art of palm weaving and helped her to unleash her inner artist.

She went on to expand her artistic abilities and has been creating works of art for many years.
She now has a booth in our local antique mall where she offers her art in many forms.  She also donates a percentage of her proceeds from sales to help stop child abuse.


I have long admired her art that she calls "punch art."
She creates cards and prints that are so delicate and sweet.
I'm happy to announce that she created this one especially for one of my bloggers. I asked her to make it pink and girlie and I think she did just that!  So, this is an original work of art by sweet Lise.
And, it's included in this weeks giveaway.

Isn't this the prettiest, and it's an original and signed by Lise.

So there you have it sweet Bloggerettes.  My first
1000 followers countdown giveaway.
A pretty pink pillow, a teacup set and original art from Lise!

I'm sure you noticed everything is pink.  So, I say while you are in the mood, hop on over to Beverly's How Sweet The Sound for Pink Saturday!

All you gotta do to enter my giveaway is leave a comment.
That's it. 
I'll announce the winner two weeks from today and at the same time
announce a brand new giveaway!

I love all you pinkie sweeties!!!!

~~hugs~~
Sissie

Hi Sissie! What a lovely giveaway. I still enjoy my pretty pink pillow so much and get so many nice comments on it. Your new little pink one is adorable, as are the cup and saucer! The ooak punch art is so unique. Such a pretty gown!

I'm trying to stay warm ~ Did you hear that here in North TX we have a solid sheet of ice. No school or work for going on two days now. Daughter is pretty sick, so luckily I got to her house about 10 hrs. before the storm hit. Now I'm here til we can at least thaw out. Daughter has vertigo and has been so awfully sick. Now our power is coming and going ~ they call it a rolling blackout, and laundry room pipes are frozen....

Big TX Hugs,
