and the winner IS....

hello folks!

See all your lovely names here?

I was looking so forward to picking the winner's name,

it's not even funny.

You'd think i was giving away a friggin' car... :-)

I put all the little pieces of paper in this lovely red cup...

picked a name, and...

it's the lovely April Cole!!!

Yay!!

I would've been happy to see anyone's name here, honestly.
This is almost as exciting for me as it for you!
I am in such need of having more fun in my life. ;-)

April, expect an email from me soon (for your address)
so i can send the little Scuba girl on her way to your home.

Congrats, girl!!
I'm happy it was you. :-)

And this was last night's play time.

Dry pastels on textured paper...

A happy lime balloon,

in honor of the talented April, our lovely winner...

I had fun doing this.

Love the messy feel of pastels on my fingers.

Thank you all for playing along.

i know this won't be my last giveaway. :-)

There is some truth to the saying

that it feels better to give than to receive.

Although if anyone's in the mood to give me a car,

i'll happily accept, no problemo.

Wishing everyone a great day!

xoxo
