Ninety-eighth post!I'm excited about debuting my blogbook Shuffle on my 100th post. Well, to be honest, I have moments of excitement and moments of despair. I've calmed my nerves by ironing until there's not a wrinkled garment left in the house.
Thank you all for the encouraging email (my address is under my photo on the left if you too want to talk) and comments about it. They've been reassuring...plus I know for a fact my fingernails alway grow out again after I've chewed them down to the quick.
You've seen the prize for my 100th post drawing before. I showed it to you when Hurricane Ike was coming but here it is again. The piece will either encourage or discourage you from entering my drawing!
I figure you can all use original art to warm up your homes and Christmas decorations are always fun to display. This one in titled When Presents Run Amuck! It's signed by the artist (me!) and made from a cypress tree knee. That's what they call the knobby root thingies growing around the base of a cypress tree.
IT Guy says it's quite the prize. Coming from him that's high praise.
All you have to do to win this cypress santa is leave a comment on my 100th post, which will be Wednesday, the day after Totally Tasteless Tuesday. The drawing will be open until noon Texas-time Saturday when Renee will blindly pick the winner.
I do believe that's how Renee drives too - blindly. We went garage sale-ing Saturday and at certain points I feared for my life! She parks blindly too.
After she reads this, I might have to ask somebody else to draw blindly!
Now I have to check every day so I don't miss the right day. I want the Santa, want to read THE BOOK! That's my Christmas present to myself... reading your book! ~PJ
ReplyDeleteIs Renee EVER going to post again? Or was that a one time shot? And why not? I thought it was good. We'll pay people to read it if she'll do another post!!!

ReplyDeleteremember when I said I still would be your friend? I still will be, at least you still ride in the front seat!! A lot of my friends want to ride in the back seat so they can't see what I am going to hit!!!
ReplyDeletePoor Renee...driving blindly is not good for her health. Parking by sound runs in my family. It's a terrible trait to have inherited.
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing Santa! I'm so impressed that you made it. I do hope I win. I NEVER win anything!
Holy Cow! I thought that was made from a gourd. I love cypress knees!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Renee Mr.Magoo Jackson's driving. Everyone has their cross to bear...apparently yours is to ride shotgun with her!
