Announcing the 4th Annual Thanksgiving Giveaway!
Yaaaaay!
Welcome.Those of you who've been visiting for a while will know all about this, and probably have already decided what your prize will be. For those who don't know...
What It's All About
I really like the general idea of the Thanksgiving celebration, but we don't celebrate it here in Australia, so I have developed my own tradition, showing thanks by hosting a giveaway. The prize of the giveaway is an illustration by me that the winner gets to commission. It can be anything you like. Have a look see at the previous winners commissions, and others, in the commission section here.
Should you win you could request an illo of anything or anyone you like. It could be abstract, like your favourite song, or specific like a portrait of a loved one (or pet) from a photo. You should keep in mind the style of my work though, because you may be disappointed if you ask for a Rembrandt!
How To Enter
It's easy, just leave a comment on THIS post anytime between now and the morning (my time) of the 26th Nov. That's 2 weeks away. One comment is enough, as I'll remove duplicate entries before the draw so everyone gets an equal chance. The draw will be completely random, and I'll be drawing and announcing the winner on Thanksgiving Day (which according to my calendar is the 26th Nov).
Spread The Word
Seeing as this is such a big event in my blogging calendar year, I have created a button. If you'd like to help me spread the word, go for your life! Use the button all you like!
You can add it to a blog post by using this code:
- In your blog post entry window enter the following code:
<a href="http://flossy-p.blogspot.com/2009/11/4th-annual-thanksgiving-giveaway.html" title="Thanksgiving Giveaway 2009" target="_blank" ><img src="http://www.flossyparticles.com/images/ThanksgivingGiveaway_Bttn_Wht.gif" alt="Thanksgiving Giveaway 2009" /></a>Or to add this graphic to your side bar...

Well, enter your comment, and start thinking what you'd like me to paint if you win.
Good Luck!!!!! :D

Hi there Ms. Flossy-P,
Kyoto calling.
How's the Vanuatu tan?
I like Thanksgiving-for the idea (of giving thanks) and the pumpkin pie.
It's a great gift you've got. I've added your button. Please count me in.
Till next time.

Hello Flossy! I'm so excited for this. When you do the drawing I'm going to be sending mind vibes saying, "pick me, pick me!!!!" :) Really, I just think it's awesome that you do this every year.
I discovered your blog just after this amazing giveaway was drawn last year and didn't realise that it was a annual event. What an incredibly generous person you are Miss Flossy (or is it Ms Flossy now?)
Please count me in.
OOoooh I'd love to win one of your beautiful illustrations. Count me in!
Yay! I've popped your graphic on my blog sidebar!
This is such a great idea and a great sentiment. It's a kinda what goes around comes around idea, I do hope you get your own generosity back in triplicate - and then some.
What a special and generous giveaway treasure. How wonderful it would be to win!
Wahoo - count me in! And I'll definitely put the button on my blog soon.
This is exciting! I just recently started to follow your blog and found it by accident. Lucky me!
Well... that will do it! Lure a lurker out of her lurking ways...
I'm looking forward to reading more about your wedding. Its funny, for a while there I was hoping you'd post about something else, but then my sweetheart popped the question a few weeks ago (also after 10 years together) and now I want the wedding talk! And want to see all the details!
Love the blog!
And, a happy Thanksgiving to you! I'm gearing up for a full table - can't wait!
Oooh how exciting! I missed out on entering the giveaway last year because I discovered your blog too late :( But this year I am in with a chance :) And a happy thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it!
I so have my fingers and toes crossed for this one.
What a wonderfully generous gift :)
What an awesome giveaway! And how sad you don't have a Thanksgiving. Just think of all the calories you save!
Hugs,

Wow! I would have a very hard time deciding on one thing! I love your work, it really is fabulous!!
Oh...and THANK YOU for doing this, it is very fun and generous.
I have to admit I don't know all that much about thanksgiving... it's about pilgrims & turkeys isn't it...?! ;)
But being thankful for all that we have is certainly something that should be promoted & celibrated - that much I DO know!!
Count me in. Love your work.
Happy Thanksgiving!
You must know I want this.
xoxoxo
I would love to win this. Count me in :)
please enter me. It would be so lovely to win :)
Fabulous idea!!!Why don't we have it here? we have Halloween. I love the pumpkin pie too! There is an American/Emerald Beach citizen who makes the best damn pumpkin pie i've ever tasted.....now i really wants some perhaps i'll put an order in and bring over some for afternoon tea soon?
Gorgeous idea, I do think some kind of thanksgiving-like holiday would be a great thing. When I have my very own family, I might instigate one, just for us and our friends and family. Thanks for all the love :)
Wow! What a fabulous prize - fingers crossed big time!!!
oooooo aaahhhhhh, This sounds like so much fun!!!!!
