Chrissie Grace give thanks and a giveaway.


Now that we are safely past Halloween, we can move onto another falltastic holiday - Thanksgiving. This project is not so much about Thanksgiving day itself but what you are supposed to do around this time of year. Wait for it. . . . give thanks!

Meet Chrissie Grace, mixed media artist and painter (in addition to being a wife and mother to four children). Chrissie created this piece using mosaics, Mod Podge, paper and more. She's not only very talented but very kind, as I learned from exchanging e-mails with her. She's so kind in fact that she is offering her amazing artwork as a giveaway for Mod Podge Rocks and Chrissie Grace readers. Yep, you can win this Give Thanks hanging for keepsies. Here are the rules, which are pretty simple and give you three chances to win. You must do one of the following, but doing any of the other two gives you extra entries:

1. Become a follower of Mod Podge Rocks (in case you are lost, that is where you are right now)
2. Become a follower of Chrissie Grace
3. Leave a comment telling us one thing that you are grateful for (besides friends and family)

To get the ball rolling, I'm thankful for shaved ice. Not the regular cubes that come out of the dispenser on the front of your fridge, but the chopped kind that makes a drink extra cold and oh-so-delicious.

Giveaway closes this coming Saturday, November 14th at midnight. This is your chance for some original and very cool Chrissie Grace artwork - now get over to her blog and thank her! Please?

libbydibby said...

AMY - you have the coolest bloggy friends. Chrissy Grace is so cute! love her blog.

so. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I have SO much to be thankful and I am also collecting artwork (and making it!) that has gratefulness as a subject, so it's hard to narrow down.

I have a new foster baby this Thanksgiving. Even in the first few weeks of having him, I am thankful for what he brings to our family. I am grateful for what he is showing me about my kids, my husband, myself. We'd originally hoped to adopt him, but now everything is up in the air and to be honest, we are working at being THANKFUL for every moment we have with him. He's simply lovely. and a total gift to celebrate with these holidays.

Deanna's musings, swapsharesaveandsmile said...

Amy, Thank you for this opportunity to win a beautiful piece of art from a very talented lady. I am grateful for every breath God gives me. I am thankful for the creativity He gives to me and others. I am thankful for my loving and supportive husband. I am thankful that my son and his wonderful wife are together and that they are to have a baby in June. I am thankful that my youngest has found another Christian lady and that they are to be married. I am thankful for the awesome team of doctors that God has given me to help fight disease and I am so thankful for the friends and family God has placed in my life.
Thank you again Amy and Chrisee for this opportunity.
Best reguards,
Deanna
