Edit, again: Ends when we pick winners tomorrow morning! Must I enter you emailers myself?! :)
Three gifts that don't hold a candle to gold, frankincense, and myrrh...
FIRST GIVEAWAY:
A Christmas card. Last night, the eighth night of Christmas, I finally drew a Christmas card. Today I sprinted to the mailbox just as the mailman was ready to pull away and heaved them in through his window. I hope they arrive in time for Epiphany to the lucky recipients, all except for Spike, Ben & Amy, Fred & Elizabeth Brown, and maybe a few other chums. I accidentally had your unaddressed envelopes in the stack I handed to the mailman. I hope they are returned to me, but if they're not, please know that we love you just the same. Just the same.
If you are Michelle M., Sharon P-Widdy, or another friend who has moved and has not given me the new address (for shame!), and you'd like a card, please email your address to me.
AND if you are a shotsnaps reader, any reader, and you'd like a card, please send me your address at leftymylou at gmail dot com, and I'll gladly send you one.
I'm thinking this may be the last year I mail out Christmas cards, so get 'em while you can.
SECOND GIVEAWAY:
A doodle plus a vintage Polaroid camera. The camera comes with an unopened package of film, several flashes, a carrying case, and an odd roll of Kodak 110 film. The only catch is that having not tried it, I don't know if it works. This will be the hero's task.
So, if you live in the continental U.S., and St. Nicholas forgot to stuff a Polaroid in your shoe, just leave a comment on this post to be entered to win. As a bonus (and to cover my back in case the camera doesn't work), I'll also give the winner their choice of a full-size print of any of my last four Christmas doodles-- Wise Men (above), Winter Wren, Mary and the Child, or The Lion and the Root. (Scroll to the bottom of each post to see the doodles.)
THIRD GIVEAWAY:
A doodle. If you live abroad or outside of the continental U.S., and you feel gypped because you can't win the doodle/Polaroid combo, leave a comment here, anyway! I'll mail you your choice of a print of Wise Men (above), Winter Wren, Mary and the Child, or The Lion and the Root.
Winners will be chosen after Epiphany, on the morning of January seventh, through a random drawing from a hat. Enter away!
And Merry Christmas to all!

ReplyDeletei am entering my name in for the second giveaway ( polaroid ), and wondering if my card will be lost in mail never never land or if it will be returned to you ? last christmas i sent sue's mom a christmas card with the wrong address and it was not returned to me until late February ! so i hand delivered it to her in July.
And I thought your blog couldn't get any better! I'm in!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will send you my address- I LOVE your Christmas cards- they become my yearly decorations, and I am terribly sad that this will be the last year of them. Say it aint so!
Oh- and I just posted a post that I should have run by you first... if you want me to delete it, let me know!
I got your card- Thank You! Seems you addressed it and forgot!

ReplyDelete~Rena~
Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI read your complimentary post and have never been more offended. (And if I make time for cards next year, you'll definitely get one, tho' I think this year's was my swan song.)
Local Elizabeth Brown,
Strange but true fact: I am chums with TWO Elizabeth Browns! The other's card was returned to me, alas, but I'm glad yours arrived safely.
Michelle,
I bought the camera for a dollar, but didn't want to get used to it myself because the film is so expensive. I thought it'd be fun to give a camera away on shotsnaps, even a camera that may not work.
Susanna,
Not too late! You won yourself a doodle with this comment!
Rena,
Great to hear from you! I'm glad you found your way here, and thanks!
Everyone else,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I missed getting my name in the hat, but had a wonderful gift nevertheless in "Winona, A Little Indian of the Prairies." I immediately read it cover-to-cover with a goofy grin the whole while. Thank you!
