I am going to change things up a bit this month, and do two contests! One will start now and be drawn on the 15th. The second one will be posted on the 15th.

This first contest is a great one. Mary of MagicIsland will be giving away a 5×7 print ($12 value) from her shop, and the winner can pick the print that they want!

So what are the rules? It’s easy! Visit MagicIsland, then leave a comment here with the link to your favorite piece in her shop, and why you like it! Don’t forget to leave your email address at all. If I can’t contact you, you can’t win.

Get a bonus entry! Sign up for my newsletter. I use the newsletter to keep you aware of special sales going on, blog contests, etc. I will not abuse the list to spam you all of the time, and I will not share your email address with anyone. Just click here to sign up.

The winner will be drawn on April 15th and will be announced on this blog, as well as being contacted by email. Good luck!

Footnote
Since I am in the process of switching my blog over to blogger, all entries on BOTH blogs will be counted. So if you enter here, you do not need to enter on the other blog.
