Margot will give a copy of her new book to a winner I select from comments on this post, plus, one big winner will get a fabulous crafty prize package valued at $150. dollars direct from Margot! AND- I’m adding my own big box ‘o fun to the prize package – just tell me which you’d rather have – some of my stamps, some of my fabric, some of my Sizzix dies or an original piece of art. (also valued at $100.) (It’s so good to have choices, right?)
To win the big prize, you have to comment on every blog AND like Margot’s Facebook Fan Page https://www.facebook.com/MargotPotterTheImpatientCrafter
While you’re there, skip on over to MY page and give me a like – http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brenda-Pinnick-Art-Design
The contest will be open until Friday. Margot will announce the big winner on her blog and I will announce my individual winners here, on my blog. The book can be sent worldwide, but the physical prize packages can ship to the mainland U.S. only.
NOW, what is my goal??? I want to share my expertise with you while helping raise money for Toys for Tots.
GIVE, PAINT, COLOR!
I believe every child should have at least one gift waiting for them on Christmas morning. I remember the thrill and excitement of finally being able to tear into those wrapped and bowed boxes, all decorated with bits of glitter or pictures of Santa. I was fortunate, my parents could afford plenty of gifts for us. But, even as a child, I was always aware and concerned about other children who might not get a present. I am so blessed and so thankful for what God has given me, a gift of passion, the ability to exercise the passion and the circumstances in which to do so.
That is why I’m sharing my gifts with you – as a way of showing my gratitude. Admission to my class is free when you give a monetary donation to Toys For Tots in the (suggested) amount of $50.00. If that amount is beyond your capabilities, I ask you give $25.00 or more. This amount will make some child very, very happy on Christmas morning and that child may grow up to continue to pay it forward!

YOU CAN ONLY WIN IF YOU LEAVE A COMMENT…. Happy Holidays to each of you and thanks for visiting!
Thank you Brenda! I have liked you on Facebook. Thanks for joining the blog hop and good luck with the fundraiser/class! A Merry Christmas to you!
thanks for the chance to win
Love, love, love stamps!!
What a fabulous and generous idea to give a class that will benefit others!
My biggest PR and Marketing hurdle is that I’m not sure what I’m selling, lol!
Thanks for the chance. Love your blog.
I love that you’re using your talents and abilities to help others. I make plarn purses which friends buy. All the money goes to local charities-currently it’s going to a local community garden that supports the elderly and needy families in our area.
I have to choose? Your fabrics rock, your stamps are so cute – one or the other of those goodies would make my day!
Off to the next blog!

Thanks for doing the Toys for Tots promotion. We had one Christmas that we couldn’t give to our kids, but that was the most amazing Christmas I remember. We are better off now, so we can give back. But I’ll let you know that, yes, the kids enjoy it but it can do wonderful things emotionally for the parents too. I think I was more excited than the kids.
As for the giveaway, I would love to win the original piece of art. I followed you on facebook, but I think you should know that the link above (for your facebook page) doesn’t work. Maybe it’s just my computer though. I’m also hoping to win that book. I could use a lesson or two in self-promotion. Thanks for doing this. I have been introduced to a lot of knew art and artists on this blog hop.
Such a tough decision! I am going to look at our artwork now and will be sorry I say fabric, but that is my fast response. Fabric ???
I am glad that I found your blog! I enjoyed peeking at your sewing projects, and have signed up for your newsletter. Happy holidays!
waving hi Brenda!!! what a great cause!!!
Thank you for adding to Margot’s prize package, but thank you even more for what you are doing to raise money for Toys for Tots!
I am interested in the contest book because I work full time and only have a limited time to create and promote. I am at a loss – should I write a blog? Make a website? A facebook business page? An etsy site? I don’t know where to begin!
Oh my gosh what I would give for an original piece of your art! You are Fantastic!
