The winner is……

I'm not very good at this giveaway business. First I didn’t announce a draw date and then when I remembered to pick a date I didn’t stick to it! But at long last I have drawn a winner. I decided the first star to fall in the middle of the wash cloth (that is part of the prize) would be the winner.

And I couldn’t have picked a nicer blogger for my little 99 posts prize to go to. Congratulations Cathie from m.e.

Thankyou once again, to everyone who drops by, for your support and friendship on this blogging journey. I couldn’t have done it without you; if I did I would really seem quite crazy just talking away to myself here!

Although I am not very good at it this giveaway business, it is so much fun.  I think I shall have another one soon, perhaps for my 99th follower.

Repetitive Shadows

I love the rhythm in the shadows from the bollards and the colour in the lens flare. I know it wouldn’t normally be considered a very photogenic subject, but I thought it would be appreciated by my fellow shadow chasers!

Pssst… did you hear I am celebrating a blogging milestone with a giveaway? I love you to pop over and throw your name in the hat.

Once you have your name in the draw, why not make a cuppa and check out some more shadows? There are heaps on offer at Tracey’s today.

99....GIVEAWAY TIME!

That’s right folk’s 99 posts here at Chasing Purple Dreams and as 9 is my number I have chosen to celebrate now rather than at the traditional 100 post mark.

I want to celebrate the joy that you have brought into my life by visiting this little blog. Some of you have read all 99 posts – thankyou and well done! Some of you may be popping in for the very first time – welcome, I hope you decide to stick around. All of you make my heart sing when you leave me a comment or drop by.

When I started this bogging adventure I could never have guessed how much I would enjoy it or get out of it. I have made friendships that I value so much and learnt things I never imagined. It really is quite a bizarre concept that strangers from all around the globe would gather here to create a community and support little old me, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

I wish I could give each of you a present for putting up with my awkward writing and saying sweet things about my paintings (even the not so crash hot ones!). But for now I am just going to spoil one of you, with a range of things that have been part of the Chasing Purple Dreams history. So some lucky dream chaser will receive a package from me that will include…….

A pair of water colours…

A “Two Hearts” pendant…

A crochet dish cloth (not this one I have already used it, I shall make one just for you!)…

And some other random goodies that take my fancy…

I don’t want to make you jump through hoops for this one, so just leave me a comment and your name is in the draw.
If however you are feeling really keen to win you can click the “like” button over at facebook and join the dream chasers here by clicking the follow button and I shall give you another couple of chances!!

For those of you who already do follow along, thankyou, you already have a couple of extra entries with your names on them!

I wonder if this will prompt a few lurkers out of the background, you know who you are….. now is the time to make your voice heard!
