Okay, let's do this already!

Give-away time!
Just a small way to thank you all for supporting Flyght in the month of May.

I had planned on creating a new painting specifically for this give-away, but with weeks/weekends like that last one I can see that's not going to happen.
So here's what I am giving. There will be 3 winners in all.



First name drawn will receive the entire Love Birds in Red set. (i wanted to see them all go to the same "nest" anyway)
Including the original painting on wood,

and the charming little birds,

in their darling little box.


Second name drawn will receive


a "she believed" locket set thanks to sweet Cat over at Polarity.

And the third name drawn will receive 1 each of 10 ATC/aceo prints that I have available in my etsy shop.

So that's it. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and on Wednesday, June 3 I'll do a random drawing. If you'd like to mention any "undiscovered" talent that you know of in your comment that would be wonderful...but not necessary.
THANKS SO MUCH to everyone who has been voting and SPECIAL THANKS to those who went above-and-beyond and blogged about Flyght themselves. WE really appreciate it!
Remember you can still Vote Flyght through May 31. Thanks to all of you they have a VERY impressive lead.

Good Luck!
Feel free to enter once a day. You vote once a day (at least), so it's only fair. :)

  43. Love looking at your stuff----I have your blog on a regular list I check. Especially like the three sons print! I have three grown boys now, but it reminds me so much of when they were little.
    you asked about new talent? did you mean music or art? I am getting back into painting again after about a 30 lull while I raised the boys and went back to grad school. I am trying to keep track of that journey on my blog. Thanks for doing the great contest! yes, I voted!!
