My First Blog Giveaway!

I have been blogging for a few weeks now and love it!
So to celebrate my new blog I am having a giveaway. The prize is a Goudie-Do. What is a Gourdie-Do? It basically is a small gourd make-do that stands about 8" tall. The five little guys below are what they look like.
The person who wins will decide what kind of Goudie-Do they would like.

To enter the giveaway do one or all of the following. For each one you do I will add your name to the hat, which could be a total of four times.

1)Add a comment to this post along with your email address.
2)Add your name to my mailing list, which is located on the top right hand side of my blog. If you are already on my mailing list say so and I will add your name.
3)Add yourself as a follower of my blog. If you are a follower already I will add your name.
4)Comment on this post that you mentioned this giveaway on your blog with a link to my blog.

That's easy enough! The drawing will be May 17th.

Wow Linda what a great opportunity to design a Gourdie-Do! You know how much I love your art and I'd love a tiny Gourdie-Do. I am always on the hunt for smaller/miniature works of art, as small is what I love the most. Thanks for this great chance. I've been online waiting for the PFATT M. update tonight.

Hugs,
Jody

Linda-Sometimes it just kills me to see your work of the past because I see all the pieces I would have loved to have had and missed out on! I have all your work lined up together on top of an old kitchen cabinet and it never ceases to bring a smile to my face as I pass thru from the kitchen to the hall.
Please put me in as being a follower of your blog and being on your email list too!
I am glad you posted a pic of yourself, now I can put a lovely face with these wonderous works of art.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you VERY much for the award Gourdie. I love Renee and to have an award in her honor means the world to me!
