i am adding a little post here...to CLARIFY my business intentions....yes....i am going to start an ETSY site....my goal is to have it up and running by the end of Jan. with at least 12 or more items for sale....IN THE MEANTIME......i will do another giveaway in December...maybe two....who knows....and another one in January.....just to get things ROLLIN!!!.....
all the while......i will be using my blog to get the attention of YOU, fellow bloggers .......and also will offer certain products for sale on my blog!
wait til you see what i have in mind for my December giveaway! Smashing !
okay...now read below about the GIVEAWAY!!
thank you in advance for your kind comments!...(hopefully...am i being presumptuous? :) )
i am so excited i couldn't sleep......so am taking this early morning hour to get my contest UP and GOING!!!.......this is my FIRST official product from
"Whimsical Renditions by Sandi Lou Lou"
(the watermark will not be on the original painting)
TA-DA!.......here it is!........now, mind you, the picture really doesn't do it justice......not tryin to brag here.......but these pictures diminish this mixed media painting, largely because it is very difficult to see the "layers" of mixed media!......hopefully the side view helps you.......this is an 8x10 mixed media painting on a stretched canvas.....it can be hung as is, or can be framed........i have drawn and painted the objects in this painting and applied them along with varied mixed media........including actual pages from a very old hymnal....if you look closely....(called ephemera, fyi)
i am SO hooked on this "new" endavor for me.....think i have found YET another NICHE i love!!!
the value of this original mixed media painting is $45.00..with a $5.00 shipping fee.
if you are NOT the winner (boo hoo)......and you would like an original for yourself or for a gift......please notify me.......however....know that every painting will have it's own identity, as it is original and not copied.....but will be similar.....
if you are interested in ordering please contact me asap, so i can get started and get them out for Christmas!
please state ORDER on the subject line
thanx! :)
i am going to give it away and send it free of charge to the name i draw out of the darling little container below!!!!
THE RULES!
1. you get one entry for leaving a comment on my blog
2. you get five entries for leaving a comment and copying the picture and posting it on your blog with a link back to my blog (just let me know on your comment you are doing this)
the contest will officially end at 5pm on Nov. 17
the painting will be shipped to the winner the week of Nov. 17
is this fun, or what???? tee hee

AWESOME job mom!!! I will advertise this on my blog!!!! Obviously no need to "enter" me in the contest......I think I might have a few "connections" to getting one!! ha!
Considered me entered into the contest!!!!!
That is so beautiful! God gave you a wonderful talent in art. I am envious! May I use that word on your blog?! I am buttering you up so that you can give me extra points! Not really. I enjoy your blog entries and art work. God bless you.

Hi, I am here from Heidi's!!! I am IN LOVE with your painting! You are SO talented. I would LOVE to win this and give it to my mom for Christmas. She would love it! What a fun giveaway and good luck with you Etsy store! I am sure it will be very successful!!!
Hello:
Heidi sent me to visit you! I am happy to "meet" the person who raised such a fun, life loving person...your daughter makes me smile (belly laugh) everytime I read one of her posts...she has actually almost caused me to ruin my laptop as I "choked" on a sip of tea during reading one of her recent posts on "romance". The tea ended up on my keyboard! I know now, no drinking while checking in on Heidi...
You are very talented and I love your work...I am sure you will do well on Etsy...I am a frequent shopper there...I will be sure to check it out!
Best wishes for a beautiful day,
Susie

Hi Sandi, please put my name in the hat for this fantastic painting.
How very very creative! I wish I had that kind of talent!
I love the art on the sides too... who would frame it?!?
Would love to win one of these for our Christmas season!
WOW! Your artwork is beautiful. This piece would look perfect in my house:) It's the style I tend to decorate in. I blogged about it for you. Here is the link to my blog:

it's gorgeous!
I found your blog through Hollie's. Such a cute painting! Enter me! :)
How adorable! I'm going to mention it on my blog as well!
Well, given Jamil and I's history of not taking down the Christmas stuffs (e.g. Christmas Tree, wire Poinsettia, Fiber Optics Poinsettia, Christmas bowl, etc.), I think I will pass on entering this one. HOWEVER, I cannot wait until you start your store because our walls are very very very bare (ok mostly because we haven't hung the things we need to hang) and could use a little Sandi art.
Hi, I'm Debbie. I came over from Connie's blog. I'm so glad I did! What a fun contest! (: Visit me anytime. (:

Thanks for your story! I love Charlie Brown trees too! When Rob and I were dating, he knew how much I love Christmas so to impress me he went out and bought a (fake) tree. It was so sweet! But after 7 years it's very Charlie Brown. Branches missing and pine unraveling. We still set it up each year though :o)

Sandi, Hi! Thank you for stopping by my blog and for posting my giveaway altered bottle on your blog! I'd love to participate in your giveaway. Your art is WONDERFUL!! The snowman is adorable and your technique really FUN!
I will definitely post a picture of it on my blog and a link to your blog.
I wish you much success with your new etsy shop! I wish I had more time to make things for mine but I'm so busy with art licensing painting that it leaves little time. But I'm not complaining! Any creative endeavor is so fulfilling and I am just having the best time meeting so many other creative people on blogs. I'm happy to have met you today and I thank the blogger who posted my link so you could find me.
