And The Winner Is... And The Winner Will Be...

I would like to thank everyone that participated in my first blog sale. I will definitely be doing this again; it was a lot of fun. Thank-you to all who left such kind compliments on my blog and thank-you to those of you who publicized the sale on your blogs.

The winner of the "Portrait Rattle - The Man-in-the-Moon Brought French Champagne" is Lori Davis of  "Vintage Palette Art". Visit her site, have a look around, and congratulate her.

Black Cat still says that he would like to see the winner walk the plank and that it would be a lot of fun. Jack has eaten far too much candy. The best part is that I don't have to wear this eye patch and pirate hat any more!

And now on to the other cryptic part of my blog heading; "And The Winner Will Be..." 

Iva Wilcox of "Iva's Creations" is celebrating her 100th blog posting and a "Haunted Masquerade Soiree". She has created a 5"x7" beeswax collage on a wood board, titled "Halloween Mischief" for the first place winner and for the second place winner they will receive as she puts it "a curious eye ornament". Black Cat wanted to know how you could put that on your eye. Pay no attention, he is being silly. Both Jack and I rather like it a lot. Black Cat said that he was just joking and he likes it as well. To try and win either one of these lovely pieces just click on the link above.

The Pirate Sale Ends at 12 Midnight!

Time is running out!

Welcome to our "Pirate Sale"!

Here it is, I can't believe that it has finally started. Sorry for being late. Minor problems kept coming up.

Black Cat is swooshing his sword about and ocassionally jabbing me all the while saying stuff like "Me heartys" and "Shiver me timbers". Jack is over at the pirate "booty" eating it. We decided that, actually they decided that it would be more fun to have candy instead of pieces of eight. We now have pieces of eat.

Email me with your orders. I do have paypal and can accept credit cards through it. Send me your address and postal or zip code. I will combine items to give you the best postal rate.

Black Cat says to buy lots because he wants to get a better pirate costume. He didn't like the hat that I made for him. I'm sorry about his rudeness, he isn't really. He lives in the moment and speaks his mind. He really is a lot of fun.

We are having a Pirate Sale!

I was talking with Black Cat and Jack a few days ago and mentioned that I was going to have a sale of Hallowe’en items on my blog starting on Monday at 3:00 PM Pacific time and ending next Saturday at midnight. I probably shouldn’t have mentioned it. Black Cat was full of ideas.

“Why don’t you do what "Sweet B Folk Art" did and get people to post about your blog sale on their blog and get people to become followers and give something away and…”

“Wait a minute, I just can’t copy what someone else did. I’d feel like a scurvy pirate.”

Then Jack chimed in, “Why don’t you ask her and see what she says?”

This seemed to be the first bit of sense in the conversation so far.

I emailed “Sweet B” and asked how she felt about me using her idea. To my surprise she didn’t mind. I told Jack and Black Cat what she said. Jack piped up with, “Well now you don’t have to feel like a scurvy pirate.”

That is when Black Cat said, “Let’s dress up like pirates while you have the sale and the person that wins we can make them walk the plank!”

“You can’t do that, they wouldn’t like it.”

“But it would be fun.”

“No, Black Cat, we will ask very politely for people to post a comment on my blog for a chance to win in the draw. If they become a follower they will get two chances to win in the draw and if they post about the sale on their blog, give a link to my blog sale, and let me know I’ll give them 4 chances to win in the draw.”

“Can we still dress up like pirates?”

“Sure, why not.”

So, that is how we ended up having a pirate sale and this is what the lucky person will win in the draw for helping me promote my Hallowe’en blog sale.

Oh… and thank-you.
