Blog GIVEAWAY! My ART for your VOTE!

My ART for your VOTE Giveaway!!!

My husband just quit a very secure paying job to follow his passion for business coaching, and these are uncertain times to quit a stable job, but really making a career out of your dream is priceless (as we all know as artists), and this contest could not have come at a better time.

What we need is your vote in this contest.  If he wins he gets $5,000 to put into his business, and the opportunity to double that by competing at state level :-)
We are very close to first place, so I'm getting creative to get you to vote!

 (please read all instructions below first)

What am I giving away?

$50.00 in SpiritMama Bucks for you to use on anything in my shop! You can put it toward something that is already made, or I can make a custom item for you, a Christmas ornament, a cake topper, jewelry or anything else you can think of. 

Visit my shop here.

How to win?

The contest is going on now, and ends Friday, 9/16/11 at 11:59 pm

One World One Heart 2011

OWOH is here, hurray! 

It's the beloved Lisa Swifka's 5th annual One World One Heart Giveaway,  

read all about it here.

List of participants here

My name is Waxela (wa-shay-la), and I have always been an artist.  I make art dolls and sock monkey cake toppers, among other things.  I have two kids, a toddler and a teen.  I never know who is going to have the next tantrum...my toddler, my teen, or me!  Occasionally my husband has a meltdown too, but usually he's picking up the pieces and putting us all back together.

I'm so happy to share this fun event with you and to offer a little something I made.

My door prize is a One World One Heart mixed media fairy that I made especially for this event:

She can be hung on a wall and has a plush body, polymer clay face, arms, and legs, and laminated paper wings, and a beaded wand.

She will be flying to the winner with a package of 4 heart fabric covered buttons which I covered, and a polymer clay textured heart which I also made.

The drawing is open to all bloggers.

If you would like to be included in my giveaway drawing, please leave a comment on this post and be sure I can reach you through your blog or leave your email address.  

The sign up ends on Feb. 17th at midnight.  On Feb 18th I will randomly choose a  winner and post the name on my blog. (I will email the winner too).

I would like it if you include a link to your OWOH post if you are participating so I can visit your blog too!

(it is not mandatory, though)

Thank you for visiting,

Waxela (wa-shay-la)

Tree Goddess Tapestry Winner Announced

Today is the day I announce the winner of my Beaded tree Goddess Tapestry!

I used Random Number Generator to find a number between 1 and 172 (the number of followers of my blog).  The number it gave me was 53, and Paula Brinkman, of "Spirit Dolls By Paula" is my 53rd follower.

Congrats Paula!

Thank you to all of my blog followers.

I will do another giveaway this year, so keep visiting!

Goddess Tree Beaded Tapestry Giveaway!

I promised a giveaway to my followers, and this is it!

It is a beaded tapestry, which I made entirely from upcycled furniture sample pieces. The tapestry has a Nile Goddess in a tree, and depicts two of my favorite things...the Nile River Goddess and trees.  I used seed and bugle beads to enhance the goddess and leaves.

It has a sleeve at the back to run a small dowel through so it can hang on your wall.

This giveaway is open to all of my followers.  All you have to do is be a follower of my blog.  I will choose a winner randomly on March 18th.  You must become a follower by Wednesday, March 17th at 11:59pm to be included in the giveaway.  

Good Luck!
