I Won! Really, I Did

I had a most wonderful surprise awaiting me this morning as soon as I opened my emails.  An email from one of my favorite illustrators, yep you can say I was star-struck :) especially when someone I've been following and whose work I totally love emails me and leaves a comment on my blog, even if its just to say hi and that I won a book in her blog give-away.

Whooohooo! Yep! Geninne Zlatkis over at Gennine's Art Blog posted a blog give-away last Sunday.  She was giving away a signed copy of Drawing Lab for Mixed Media Artists by Carla Sonheim.  The book, published by Quarry Books was launched this month and Carla had generously offered to giveaway a signed copy & some "drawing" goodies from her studio!  Check her announcement post on her blog, so cool how she presented the winners.

Dearest Geninne is one of the featured artists in this book, you can go check her blog post Drawing Lab book Giveaway to see her page.  Go check the rest of her site too, I just love, love, love her work!

Carla decided to give-away an additional 2 more books because of the large turn out - 764 comments in all!!  Congratulations to Ludid and Elvia for also winning the book :) go check their blogs out too, they're both very crafty and talented gals :) 

Thank you Geninne and Carla, I just know I'll love this book, really, I can't wait to see it and try out the exercises.

Oh, don't forget to check out Carla's blog too, wowza! Lots of cool stuff! I'm a new fan!
