Hey! It’s a Giveaway!

Posted on by

Do you know what day it is today? It is my BLOG BIRTHDAY! !6! Oh the places I’ve been, the people I’ve met, the friends I have made, um, the stats I have gotten totally obsessed with. Yes, six years. I won’t be linking back to early posts though. Somewhere along the way, during some computer or server change-over, the early years posts are a big mess so I try to ignore them.

In celebration of 6 years of blogging and launching the fish pattern out into the world- I hope it will be finished in the next few days- I’m having a giveaway. Pick a fish! Any fish!

My school of fish is growing even larger as I work on the pattern. The winner of the giveaway will get to choose whichever one they want before I list the rest in my Etsy shop. All you need to do is leave a comment of any kind on this post. The giveaway will close on Wednesday night 2/17 midnight est. Random number generator, announce on Thursday, you know the drill. Anyone can enter the give-away, but if you win and are not in the US, I will need to ask for a contribution towards shipping which might be around $32.

Here is my desk now, as I work on the pattern-

Still taking Photoshop baby-steps.

Other news of the week- the second meet-up was just as fun as the first. There were dire predictions of snow, but none materialized. There were 2 new people- Hi Linda and Trisha! As always, all are welcome- 2nd Wed, Starbucks, Davis Sq. Somerville, 10am. Kerry’s report here.

  10. what can I say?
    Your fish would look perfect in my classroom, or in my bedroom or in the kids playroom.

  38. Hi Mimi:

    Congratulations on your 6 Year Anniversary! I have really enjoyed reading your blog. We have a spot on our sofa which could be a nice nesting spot for a fish!

  42. Although I am just nuts about the tatooed people – they really talk to me – I have a huge smile on my face when I see the fish. I can imagine holding him in my arms! I so enjoy being on the distribution and seeing Doll in my email box – it’s the first message I open.
