I've had a new giveaway idea...let's see if this works. When I was interviewed by Natalie Chanin, she asked for ten random things about me that my blog readers might not know. Not long before that, I had been thinking about how I enjoy popping over to a blog and reading a few miscellaneous personal (but not too personal) bits, and I had jotted down some odd thoughts to share on this blog in April (since I was already devoting March to quotations). So, I've created a giveaway to a) get to know me better; b) get to know you better; and c) share the blogs you write.
Between now & April 15th, I'll share some stray facts about me -- even a photo, which I seldom do. (Truly, this requires careful selection. I am just not photogenic. There, one fact already!) Then I'll interview five readers -- and include a link to your blog and/or online shop (that's the giveaway part).
To enter, leave a comment on this post by the end of day April 14th. I'll contact the winners on Thursday, and run the interviews the week of April 19th. Good luck!
Excellent! I love this idea :)

Great idea. It is always fun to learn a little more about the writer on the other side of the computer.

getting to know you better will be such a treat - I'm a HUGE proponent of calligraphy - I have several that work on my client projects. It was great to find your blog and read your posts and see your projects.

I just loved your interview with Natalie. Very refreshing to have someone who is usually answering the questions asking them for once.

I have just found your blog in the past two weeks and thought is was wonderful. I have picked up some lettering and doodling books in the past few years and keep working at them. I enjoy your ideas.

This sounds like so much fun! I am about to have to order an ink refill for my stamp you did for me, because I've almost completely depleted it. I love it!
