Happy Days by Jo Bradford

☼☼☼

Well yesterday marked the end of my 10 day Pay It Forward giveaway here on the Green Island Studios blog.

...

I have just entered all of the entries into the random number generator and it came up with lucky number 43!! That's you Sabine, La Marquise des anges, congratulations on winning the June Giveaway!!

Sabine chose Sea Pinks as her prize, so I will hand print it this week and it will be winging its way to Sabine in the South Of France very soon.

Sabine, please let us all know what you decide to do to continue to pay it forward.... I love to hear where the good fortune goes next.

The happy days picture featured on today's post is one of a series i took a few years ago and lost... but I stumbled across a shoe box full of discs this week as I was clearing out at my studio and was pleased to find a whole load of "lost" art :)) More to follow soon

Happy Weekend y'all!!

Jo xoxo

And the winner is.........

Build Me Up Buttercup by Jo Bradford

....

All the names went into my wide brimmed sun hat yesterday, and a name was duly drawn. Congratulations go out to LittleLovelies, the lucky winner of my April Pay-It-Forward Free Art Giveaway.

Nadine of LittleLovelies chose "Build Me Up Buttercup" as her favourite picture in my Etsy shop and so I am glad to make her wish come true. She can now look forward to receiving her artwork, usually priced $30 in my online shop, hand printed by me at Green Island Studios on beautiful fine art watercolour paper.

I look forward to hearing how Nadine plans to continue to pay-it-forward herself. And as I have enjoyed being part of this pay-it-forward thing so much, I think I will do another one soon. It seems like a good idea to just start generating pay-it-forwards for the pure pleasure of it, sending them out round the planet bringing happiness and good cheer, and more importantly, to encourage others to get involved in paying good fortune forward wherever they can.

FREE GIVEAWAY

Here's your chance to WIN one of my giclee prints for free!!

I got lucky today, as I was one of the fortunate people to win a prize of a free print in the Kate Boyce giveaway. In return she asks that the winners of her prints "pay it forward". For those of you not familiar with this concept....

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning any one of the 8"x8" prints in my shop is to have a look through my Etsy store and see which is your favourite print, then leave me a comment here telling me which one you would like to win and keep your fingers crossed for a result. I will draw a name out of a hat on the 1st May.


I will send the lucky Winner one of my prints and in return I would love it if you decide to continue to do the "pay it forward" thing and do something yourself to Pay It Forward to some other lucky folk out there in the big wide world, but that's totally up to you.
