so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
a collection of words about God and life and art and baseball and football and hope and my family and my ministry and music and the immense joy in each moment of all of it. it's a record of being human. welcome.

at least i hope that's true.
you see, i can't stand peyton manning, and all his ridiculous and unsportsmanlike hand gesturing at the line of scrimmage. i also can't stand his monopoly of celebrity endorsements. i am tired of him. i was so happy last year when the steelers defense got up in his face and scared the crap out of him. i remember after the game when he blamed his offensive line. that was classic peyton. unable to really perform under pressure. always folding in the biggest moment.
and so, even though i think the bears' offense is pathetic, i pick the bears defense over the peyton and his players.
having said that, i won't be totally surprised if the colts hand it to the bears, like you have predicted. we'll see.
on a side note, if the colts do win, i will be happy for tony dungy, former pittsburgh steeler.

ps. i saw the web-counter thingy on your blog and copied your idea. thanks!
but it's not the steelers. so why really cares.
sorry you have to root for the losing team. oh well. the most important thing, as you said, is that the steelers aren't in it, so it isn't really all that important...
My prediction is the colts by a touchdown or less. I have no clue what the score will be, but I think Peyton will finally cross the finish line. Oh how many times he has fallen short, but he is ready to get the monkey off his back.

Since you won't be back until Wednesday, and the Super Bowl was last night, I'm sad to see that your prediction was WRONG! I would have been happy either way, being a true mid-west girl. However, I'm very happy with the outcome! You can't call them the "dolts" or the "chokes" now! :)
my mom made the best prediction!
