I really can't believe it! I tend to lose focus easily, but this blog has really been something I've committed myself to and I'm so glad you guys are still reading lol. This is my way of saying THANK YOU for believing in Cute Stew :) I know there are a lot of different  motivations for having giveaways, but I want you guys to know that it's not about getting more followers or promoting my stuff or anything like that, it's about me really wanting to give from my heart.

Last day to enter the giveaway!

If you haven't entered and would like a chance to win this sweet print from Carla Thursday, enter now! Sign up ends @ MIDNIGHT tonight! The winner will be announced tomorrow :)

It's Giveaway Time!

This giveaway is being sponsored by Carla Thursday of Art Is Just Frozen Music

Carla is offering Cute Stew readers a chance to win this beautiful print pictured below. I have it here at my home and I can confirm the quality of the print is very nice! It's called "November Boy"

"This charming print is a reproduction of the watercolour, pencil and ink portrait of the month of November. The original painting is only 1 x 2 inches however the reproduction has been enlarged to 8 x 11 inches and is professionally printed onto archival German Etching paper. The paper is very thick (380gsm) and beautifully textured. Though this is a reproduction, the subtle bleeding of the paper makes this print look strikingly like an original. Because the paper is archival, it will literally last a lifetime before fading. Print comes packaged with cardboard backing for protection. Includes white boarder for framing. Signed and dated by the artist."

If you'd like a chance to win this print, please follow these rules:

1. Go to Carla's Etsy shop and pick out your favorite painting or print.
2. Leave a comment telling me what you favorite piece is & where you would hang it -OR- who you would gift it to.

For 1 extra entry each: blog about this giveaway & leave your link in a comment here, follow Carla on Twitter or follow her on Facebook. If you follow her, please leave additional comments here so we can keep track. Make sure that you leave some form of contact so I can reach you if you win! Carla is an amazing artist and I already own a few pieces from her. Her art is so wonderfully colorful and it just makes me smile! Sign-up ends Sunday 8/15/10 and the giveaway winner will be announced the following Monday.
