Pay it Forward Giveaway

Look what I got in the post yesterday! No, not the daft looking dog, I had that already - the little mouse! I won a 'pay it forward' draw on Cat's blog, Raggy Rat, and this is what I got - isn't it sweet? I promise he is no longer at risk from the dog, he's sitting on the shelf above my computer desk along with the knitted broccoli!

So in the spirit of the above draw, I want to hold my own on this blog - I think it is a nice idea plus I really want to see how many of you visit and never normally say hello! So, I am offering not one prezzie but a choice of three! You can have....
....a little knitted scarlet macaw on his own wire swing. He is about three inches long and brighter than in the picture. Or you can have.........
...this silver and mother-of-pearl necklace, made by my own fair hands. I have one and wear it most of the time! Or you can have..........
This picture as detailed in a previous post. As I said at the time, I can't use it commercially as it is from a newspaper photo, but it would be a shame for it to sit in my portfolio without a home.

So all you have to do is say hello, tell me which of the above you would like to have and at the end of about a week (depends how many visitors I get - the draw will be cancelled if there are only two!!!!) I will put the names into a metaphorical hat (probably a cereal bowl...) and pick a winner. Good luck!

My Very First Illustration Job!
I got home from a day at the beach yesterday to find this had been left on my doorstep - I did this job about two years ago and it is finally in print. However, I can't show you any more than the cover as all the stories I illustrated are on a CD and I haven't worked out how to transfer them from there to anywhere else yet - I'm a bit of a clod when it comes to computers! If I manage it, then I'll show some pictures, but in the meantime this is it!
