Little bit...

Little bit Late! (Not unusual :o)

a little giveaway...

and a couple little picture shots of me...

(6 or 7 months old-the earliest photo of me that I have)

(1year old-first birthday)

...not a lot of hair still, so that bow on my head looks ready to fall...

(and I was allergic to mosquito bites...so all those marks on my legs were from mosquito bites)

Thank you to those of you that are here visiting this week...

(I wanted to do this birthday giveaway (yep, I'm another year older...but we won't focus on that. haha) last year, but after this week, I realize the reason why I didnt get to it :o) With work, Christmas functions, art orders needed to be shipped in time for Christmas, Christmas cards, etc...  Hm...I wonder how I didnt remember all that! 

I will be drawing one name for a giveaway for one 8x10 drawing of Your choice of image and Your choice of name. And also for one 8x10 monogram of Your choice. And 2 names for a 20% gift certificate towards any size art order. This giveaway will be open until Dec 31st.  Since I can only manage to post once a week, I will announce the winner on the post the following week.

Also, please do leave a comment when you stop by, even if you are not interested in these giveaways, cuz I do love to hear what you say...and it may take me a bit,  but I do like to return your visits. (if you do not want to be entered for one of the giveaways, please just let me know :o)

Giveaway #1: an 8x10 of Your choice of a single image (This one is just a sample of a celtic cross that was a past order).

Giveaway #2: an 8x10 monogram 

Each of the ones that are chosen will pick their choice of name to be used within the drawing. 

(This does not include cost of shipping. I will let you know what the cost of shipping will be if you live outside the continental United States. Otherwise, the cost for UPS shipping of the 8x10 will be $12)

I am also including 2 giveaways for gift certificates to be used towards YOUR choice of image, with YOUR choice of name, in YOUR choice of size (8x10 or 11x14).

(***This has an expiration date,  so that those drawn can be completed and shipped out in time for Valentine's.  ...but please contact me if you need to extend that time.***)

These are for the drawing only~ matting and framing are not included. Artwork is carefully shipped in a sturdy mailing tube.

Here are just a couple of my most recent orders...will be posting more in future posts.

Thank you Susan for your recent request:

"...Not too long ago you designed the major leaf for me to give as a promotion gift.

I was thinking about the holidays b/c they are right around the corner, and I wondered if you had every done a peacock ?..."

Susan's feedback at my etsy shop when the Peacock drawing was received:

"Maria did a WONDERFUL job designing a peacock for my BIL & SIL for Christmas!! I told her what I wanted and she not only had it made, but shipped to me in a matter of days. The final product is beautiful; I know it will be greatly appreciated."

Thank you Tiffany, for this order request: 

"...I wanted to order another sketch/picture from you! I was wondering if it would be ready before Christmas?..."

Her email sent once it was received:

"...I received the sketch today and it looks great! Thank you so much."
