Baby-toes ... another Blogversary give-a-way • #2!

3 custom covered MOLESKINE® cahiers.
These plain journals are covered with
my paper scrapes and print samples.
The design inspiration comes from
"Baby Toes" a painting that is part of
my ongoing
cacti / succulent art series.

See that complete post HERE

This cacti series comes about from my weekly participation with the artist group CACTUS MONDAY. An open group from all over the world that meets regularly every Monday on the web and it is all about fun with "The Cacti!".

Find the seed at the bottom of your heart and bring forth a flower. Shigenori Kameoka

Cahiers-gift 

To win these 3 custom covered "cahier" journals leave me a comment at this post.

This gift/prize is a courtesy, a THANK YOU! for visiting and it is free.

All countries are welcomed! No shipping fees, I will send it to the winner 🙂
Last day
to leave a comment and to participate in the drawing of names will be Sunday, February 15th.

    Those journals are beautiful. And I’ve been keeping track of your lovely cacti–but time has kept me from commenting recently.

    OMG do you see how bad my memory is? Now, I did remember your Baby Toes Cactus but totally forgot about the journal part, and also that I did already leave a comment a few days ago. LOL
    Good thing I can laugh at myself.
    Apparently I need the journal to supplement my memory!

    My wife and I really like your work. We saw you at the Parthenon in Nashville and really fell in love. I hope I win the journal, but in any case, I’d like to buy some of your work. I’m going to e-mail you and see about that. Lots of luck with your many projects.
