☆ COMMISSION PIECE [A Work In Progress]

Tweet

After the hectic pre-Christmas + pre- Beastie, get together with my family last weekend, I jumped into working on this commission.

One of my fabulous friends, asked me to paint one of my girls for her sister-in-law for Christmas, and after finally catching up last week, and talking about my designs, I sat down to start. (Apparently there is only three weeks left till xmas... who knew right? And holy crap that means only 4 weeks until our wee beasties eta - eeek!)

So here are a few work in progress shots,

There is still some more to do, but I am so happy with the progress of this painting. It is (so far!) behaving!

So what are you in the middle of this week? Do you have anything interesting on your work desk? Can you see your work desk - cause mine is like a bomb hit it, I still haven't cleaned up after AEDM!) I would love to hear your stories.

AND DON'T FORGET, the last give away for 2012 is up now! Click here to enter

Before I tell you about this months give away, I wanted to send a quick message to PRIMGAL who left a comment on the Christmas Tag Swap wanting to join in, but I haven't been able to email or contact you. If you are still keen, can you email me ASAP to join in?

* * * * * * *

So, Wow - I can't believe how quickly this has come around! The last give away of 2012.

And this month is another two-for. I will be continuing give aways next year as well, but I am not sure if there will be one for January - hopefully there will be one on or around the 15th, but it will all depend on the wee Beastie arrival!

So in this months give away, there will be two lucky winners.

And this months prizes?

'Whiskers on Kittens' original art + a set of LilliBean Designs Christmas Tags

So how can you be in the chance to win?

Just leave a comment below, saying 'pick me!'

That's it?

Seriously it is that easy.

If you really want to win this months prize, you can add a couple of extra entries to up your chances.

If you 'Like' LilliBean Designs Facebook Page = One extra entry
If you 'Follow' Listening to the Squeak = One extra entry
If you 'Sign up' for LilliBean Designs News = One extra entry (which by the way has an awesome discount this month!)

So in theory you can have up to four entries into this months draw, you just have to let me know in the comments, and by the way if you already do any of these, also let me know because you will automatically receive extra entries.

Because I want you to have these fabulous prizes before Christmas, the give away is only open until next Tuesday, 11th December 8pm Australian EST. So don't delay in entering (like I do all the time!), quick press the comment button + type the words 'pick me'!!

Good Luck

☆ AEDM - Monthly Round Up

Tweet

So for the last time this year, here is my AEDM round up - but this time it is for the whole month. If you were participating in this years AEDM how are you feeling now three days past. 

After a huge rest over the weekend, and a bit of maintenance on my life, (washing that's been neglected, a studio that looks like a bomb hit it, a husband who I should at least spend some time with!!), I am happy to dive into December + Christmas, and then of course New Years + our Wee Beasties arrival. 

It's only when I did this collage that I realised that I managed to paint a huge collection of work, despite taking it easier this year. It surprised me!

But I am so happy + proud of my achievements this month, I loved joining in + I loved the challenge of it.

If you want to see any of the paintings in more detail, the links can be found here.

*******

This week is no less busy - personally I have two dance recitals to help out with, family visiting, a house that looks like a hurricane has hit it, and a hospital bag that is desperately needed to be packed.

But besides that there is heaps going on here this week +  I wanted to give you a heads up for whats in store for Listening to the Squeak + LilliBean Designs this week.

Later today, I am hoping to send out emails to every one who signed up for this years Christmas Tag swap, so if you are joining me, please keep an eye out for that.

Tomorrow (Tuesday 4th) is this months give away + as it's the last one for 2012, it's another two-for. 

Want to treat some one to one of my paintings, calendars, or buy some Christmas card + tags to give to loved ones? You can click here to see more, or come back on Thursday when I highlight some of my favourites.

And lastly - this months newletter will be sent out over this weekend. And I will be offering a huge discount but only to subscribers of The LilliBean Designs News. (Which you can sign up for here) LilliBean Designs Store will be closing over the new year period, and re-opening late January, (all going well with beastie), with all new stock. So now is the time to snap you your favourite painting.

I hope you had a great weekend, and I would love to know if you were on the AEDM journey, or participating in your own journey, what you did over the weekend. Did you relax, or was it business as usual?
