2008 Holiday Giveaway # 3 - Purple

To win todays giveaway all you have to do is name name the most famous song Sheb Wooley ever sang. Hint: It references purple in it - a lot. This was one of my favorite songs as a child! If more than one person get the right answer, I will throw the names in a hat and pick one out. This contest will run until Friday afternoon.

Update: The winners are Lisa, Mary, and Jessie!

2008 Holiday Pen Giveaway # 2 - Red!

Red has more personal associations than any other color.

Recognized as a stimulant red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived.

Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element.

To win these red pens, all you have to do is tell me who won the last red pen giveaway I did on this blog. I'll give you a hint, I gave away 14 red pens for Valentines Day in the name of Aphrodite!

I will announce the red pen winner Thursday, good luck!

UPDATE: Anita Davies is the red pen winner, go check her work out here: http://artbyanita.blogspot.com/

2008 Holiday Pen Giveaway # 1

All you have to do is leave a comment and pick a number between 1 and 20. the closest person to the number I have already chosen will win the pens. I will announce the winner and then pop the pens in the mail to you!

Thanks to all of you who come here on a regular basis and check in on my work. I appreciate it!

Update: Mike Kline is the blue pen winner!
