So, what do you do to win this little OOAK hand-painted Olive Wood pendant? Well, I'm sure most of you know how these things usually work, it's all very simple. You need to be a follower, and leave a comment on THIS post. Hmm, let's see, shall we make it a bit more interesting? How about a 4 line poem (well, you can do more if you like, limericks are always fun) on the funniest (or weirdest) thing that happened to you this month? I'll allow for a certain amount of 'poetic license' so don't get too worried about it, just have fun. Don't forget to make sure I can contact you if you win. Then I'll pick a bunch that make me laugh the most and put them into the top hat and draw out a winner. Sound fair? So, you've got...ummm...how about till midnight on Sunday? That's midnight here, where the mermaid lives, which is GMT +8. But I'll warn you when the deadline is approaching. So, hop to it, off into your various garrets and summon up the poetic muse. And if you really MUST use a goose quill pen to get the creative juices flowing, go ahead!
Hmmmm, sounds fun. And a lovely pendant! I wonder if I'll get my act together to enter! I've been challenged even to answer comments on my blog for this past post. Life is humming. Congrats on your one year of being an inspiration. Its so amazing that I think of you as a friend - all the way over and under... or maybe I'm under, really.
ReplyDeleteOh go on Valerianna, do have a go, it doesn't have to be a masterpiece ;-) ! Yes, it's a funny old thing, this cyber world...all these people I feel I know so well and have shared in their lives and they've shared in mine...and yet we've never met. He, he, rather than over or under, I think perhaps we're all just a little off centre...and that's just fine! :)
ReplyDeleteFrom one mermaid to another, Happy Blog-iversary!!! I know I don't comment too often, but I love your artwork!

ReplyDeleteHmmm definitely need to think. My poetic skills leave much to be desired. But funny moments and embarrassingly funny moment are never ending occurances in my life. Why just yesterday I had my four year old daughter at swimming lessons, when she decided to announce in her most peircing voice that she 'needed to take a leak" . My mouth must of fallen to the floor. I think maybe she has a bit too much daddy time in the work shed. :-/
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll have a go....
ReplyDeleteThere WAS a mountain range, I swear!
But when the clouds cleared it was not there...

I love to read poetry, I love to memorize poetry, but sadly poetry is not where my talent lies. I wish it was. I so enjoy looking at your wonderfully creative artwork and reading your well written poetry, you have such talent.
