10. eating deviled eggs.
9. watching alabama lose the sugar bowl.
8. cuddling with my son.
7. talking about pacemakers with shannon's uncle.
6. cleaning up bits off wrapping paper.
5. writing about candy canes.
4. trying to figure out what those "G" commercials were for.

cool.
lots of stuff to click on.

i'm a clickoholic.

i'm giving away the swamp

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...
