It's a Blogoversary giveaway!

It's been five years since I took my first step into Blogland; what an adventure this has been! I don't blog every single day like some, I don't have the perfect looking blog. But I do appreciate all you who venture over to ART of Humungous Proportions (where Art and Life meet) to see what creative madness I am up to at any given moment.

When I was trying to choose a graphic to use for this special post, I thought "Birthday Cakes" and then I thought of Lace Cakes! You will notice the beautiful Lace Cake pictured here. It is the gorgeous invention of my sweet friend, Laura of the ever-beautiful All about Pretty blog. This particular Lace Cake is available in her Etsy shop here.

I will be holding a giveaway in celebration of my 5th year of blogging. Just leave a comment below ~ tell me something you have enjoyed on this blog along the way, or what you would like to see in the future, and I'll put your name into a draw for a handmade creation by moi. If you mention the giveaway on your blog with a link back here, I'll put your name into the draw two times ~ yay!

The draw date will be Saturday, March 20th.
Spread the word, share the fun!

And the winners are ...

Today Greg and I celebrate our 23rd anniversary!

Wow ~ hard to believe that it's been that long already.

And today I'm announcing what I'm giving away for
my 4th Blogoversary prize.
As I was deciding what that should be,
I thought since it was my Blogoversary and Anniversary,
I should award not one, but two prizes.

For last week's Fine Art in the Library, I created two objet de'art
imitating the style of Marc Chagall. These are the pieces that I will give away.

The first, a 10"x12" acrylic painting, on canvas
"Angel of Peace" goes to
Karyn Hutchinson of Musings from Me

The second giveaway, an 8.5"x11" soft pastel on repurposed card stock
"Evening Song" goes to
Kel of My Ladies Fine Designs and The Holy Land

For Karyn

For Kel

Karyn and Kel, please contact me so that I can send these out to you.
And thank you to everyone else for your comments and best wishes!

My 4th Blogoversary is today!

Yep, today's the day of my 4th Blogoversary!
Hard to believe I've been taking up this little spot in cyberspace for so long, but it has been fun.

Speaking of fun, I am going to have a Blog Giveaway in celebration of blogging for oh, so long. What is the prize? Good question.
Let's just say it'll be something created by me.

Leave me a comment at the end of this post. Then, on March 29th, I'll make a draw and contact the winner. Simple as that. No need to link back and forth between my blog and yours, unless you want to.

Now let's take a look back, pictorially, over the past 4 years on ART of Humungous Proportions!

Happy Blogoversary to me!

Guess what? This weekend marks my 3rd year of blogging. If you look wayyyy back into my blog archives, you'll see it all started on March 15th 2005. A lot has happened in 3 years ~ some good, some bad ~ but mostly good stuff.

I've experimented in all sorts of ART, met a lot of awesome friends. I have a lot to be thankful for.

I should have been a little more prepared because I wanted to do a giveaway when my Blogoversary arrived this year. Hmm ... maybe I still can do something. Let's see ... how about if I create a portrait of the winner. If you leave a comment on this post, I will put your name in a hat (pointy birthday hat, of course) and you will have a chance to win a one of a kind Wide-eyed Portrait by moi.

So leave a comment already, people ~ and party on!
