Original artwork giveaway

You might remember I mentioned a little <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/05/fantastic-followers.html">giveaway</a> I had planned to celebrate all of you lovelies who pop in to read this blog of mine? After all, it's you who've made my foray into the blogosphere so rewarding, not to mention downright fun! Well, I thought it might be fun to give away the winner's choice of an original painting from my soon-to-be-released range of affordable artwork. I know it can be hard to find pieces to suit your decor, without breaking the bank, so I'm planning a new range of paintings to suit your style and budget.<br /><br />Here's a little taste of the new range, and the winner will get to choose one of these four paintings:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">'Fresco' - heavily textured, tactile paintings </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgck4UopyybmJUvkKddHbYH9b8rlvXz7fHTzQvzaex56z2vjB7p6zfve3wKG1yQ9zD6ed1JQ9WL50r6fHyL3H248Ozhyphenhyphenh2x5C2exrLLEwAHhxfMIAwmRviAmQgdi1um11DD3BRwDQpkh9Q/s1600/giveaway+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgck4UopyybmJUvkKddHbYH9b8rlvXz7fHTzQvzaex56z2vjB7p6zfve3wKG1yQ9zD6ed1JQ9WL50r6fHyL3H248Ozhyphenhyphenh2x5C2exrLLEwAHhxfMIAwmRviAmQgdi1um11DD3BRwDQpkh9Q/s320/giveaway+1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">'Verve' - abstract works, featuring silver or gold leafing </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPnbJCEsRY8Jdr7eNDhmYeG2AvgS0Mog28gTCkLyXvaHYYN8P_uDbzD8tthd4YWWoo3_o6KcYqMXxuZx4g_0CRTYppZGSJ1KTpMalIk4Dvwt2oY3lh8XFIPFp0R0M0tVNsf3QQb4_jnbg/s1600/giveaway+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPnbJCEsRY8Jdr7eNDhmYeG2AvgS0Mog28gTCkLyXvaHYYN8P_uDbzD8tthd4YWWoo3_o6KcYqMXxuZx4g_0CRTYppZGSJ1KTpMalIk4Dvwt2oY3lh8XFIPFp0R0M0tVNsf3QQb4_jnbg/s320/giveaway+4.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">'Drift' - seascapes and coastal-themed works </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBuIHbJZUoWXVrOxEGCTRT-NA8IcCa_aNXfZ0QgbnzH8tLjmZh8R5O6lOI_78TnAzRhdHaGlbuoCjvSgKS7Y96vjh1N-Ogg-yFCGweSAO5VUZYxct47oGgNHB17d90MC_HnbRcGBsG9g8/s1600/giveaway+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBuIHbJZUoWXVrOxEGCTRT-NA8IcCa_aNXfZ0QgbnzH8tLjmZh8R5O6lOI_78TnAzRhdHaGlbuoCjvSgKS7Y96vjh1N-Ogg-yFCGweSAO5VUZYxct47oGgNHB17d90MC_HnbRcGBsG9g8/s400/giveaway+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">'Flora' - floral studies and botanical works</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWWq4Dhjs9rItkpu9EBu3P9t5FC0tH-GNM_-qjj_frm58h6gdFLW35PRW1Z0ENXfb5Q41zXsoKKQ4bNZJh_-yHFiQkHGOxRoAhQahvmBGVDEBmASpTbau8E-GJuoWtTcmAU3X1cR9m7rs/s1600/giveaway+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWWq4Dhjs9rItkpu9EBu3P9t5FC0tH-GNM_-qjj_frm58h6gdFLW35PRW1Z0ENXfb5Q41zXsoKKQ4bNZJh_-yHFiQkHGOxRoAhQahvmBGVDEBmASpTbau8E-GJuoWtTcmAU3X1cR9m7rs/s320/giveaway+3.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So, to enter this giveaway, all you need to do is follow my blog, or become a follower, and leave a comment telling me which painting you'd choose.

Apartment Therapy Feature

So...remember I mentioned that I had a little secret? Well, last week I received an email from Apartment Therapy, asking whether I'd be interested in having my kitchen makeover featured on their blog. Well, I said, I don't know, I'll have to think about it....oh, who am I kidding? Of course my answer was an immediate, big fat YES! So if you're interested, hop on over <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/at-australia/before-and-after-kerris-country-kitchen-118281">here</a> to check it out.
