For the past couple of years, I’ve really loved doing a giveaway on my birthday. It feels lovely to direct the gifts outwards, rather than it just being all about me. 🙂
This year I’m able to step it up a notch, as I have not one but several gorgeous things to give away. So for the next week, I’m spreading the word far and wide to allow as many people as possible a chance to win some gifts that are specially designed to reignite inner creative sparks!
Here’s a breakdown of what I’m giving away, and after that the rules. You may know I have a bit of a thing about complicated and demanding giveaway rules, so I’m keeping it as simple as I can while still making it easy to share as widely as possible.
The gifts
21 Secrets Spring 2014
Connie Hozvicka has very kindly given me a second membership to the 21 Secrets workshops {in which I’m also teaching!} to give to someone who would love some new ideas and inspiration for art journaling projects within a vibrant creative community. {Starts in April.}

I’m also giving away a copy of my book, Creative Spark, which is all about how to rediscover your inner artist self in ways that integrate into everyday life.
art materials to get you started
A canvas board, some collage materials and a box of mini pastels to get you started or re-inspire your practice. And maybe even an extra surprise or two…
The ‘rules’
* To enter the giveaway, please take the link to this post and share it somewhere on your social networks; you can pin the images to Pinterest, tweet about it, post it to Facebook, share it in a blog post round up ~ wherever you like.Â
* As there are three gifts, please share the link or images for the number of gifts you wish to win, and let me know in the comments which one{s} you have your eye on! I will enter your name for each gift that you indicate you’d like, and draw them separately.
So for example, if you’d like the book and the membership, you would let me know in the comments and then share either the image for each, or the link to the whole post twice somewhere on your favourite social media platforms.
* All entries to be received by 21st February {my actual birthday}, when I will draw the names out of some kind of hat.
* You can enter wherever you are in the world, as long as you can receive post!
Thank you in advance and good luck! I look forward to sending these goodies out to the winners.
The giveaway has now closed and the winners have been announced. Thank you very much indeed to everyone who entered and so kindly spread the word. I wish I could send you all something!
***Please would Becky and Nicole get in touch with me as I have no contact details for you!***
Hi Tara. I have tweeted and Facebooked about this. I am interested in the art supplies and the membership. Happy Birthday and thanks!
Hi Tara, what a wonderful idea. We are fellow piscean sns, my birthday is the 22nd. I am sharing once, for the 21 secrets workshop … For my sister. Jo xxx
Hi Tara, I’ve shared on Facebook and would like to be entered into the draw for the 21 secrets workshop please x
Since I already have your book, I’d like to enter the 21 secrets draw; I pinned it! I honor you have a wonderful birthday, and that you get a little bit spoiled on that day…cause if you can’t get treats on your birthday, when can you get them? ( can you tell I’m a fan of birthdays? Also unbirthdays…anything for a chance to be pampered!!)
Shine on!

Hi Tara,
Just hopping over from your artnote. What a lovely giveaway. My birthday is in february too but I am on the very last day 🙂 And I am trying to convince my family that they have to spoil me because 37 is a SPECIAL birthday. (It is right?) I’d just love an hour uninterrupted to paint but I don’t think they are listening 😉
I’ve shared your book picture on Pinterest here: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/54113632997163514/
And will share the art materials picture on my art page (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10151975262522643&id=260970233999945&stream_ref=10)
I’ll tweet a link to this post too while I’m thinking about it.
I’d love to be put in the pot for either of those. Thanks for the chance to win and I hope you have a lovely birthday x
I would love any of those.:) Thank you for passing on the birthday love. Tweeted and FB.
Hi Tara,
I have pinned all three and would love a chance at all of them! Happy Birthday xoxo!
Tara, I smeared it all over the place! Seeing as how I’m already enrolled in 21 Secrets (can’t wait!!) and I own your terrific book, I’ll go for the art supplies. Thanks and an early happy b-day to you!
Hi Tara! Thank you for such a fantastically cool giveaway!
I’ve shared your blog post on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+ and would like 2 entries in each for your book and the spot in 21 Secrets ;)) <3 Lots of luck to everyone!
Tara, how fun, thank you! Happy Early Birthday xoxo
I’d love to play with the art supplies 🙂
Lovely!!! I’ve shared on FB and Pinterest. Would be interested in 21 Secrets ,…..well, any of them really, but 21 Secrets is something I’ve wanted to do.
I’m happy to wish you a happy birthday, and whatever the universe wishes to send my way, that’s all I want. Happy Birthday Tara!
Happy Birthday dear Tara! Wishing you a great week leading up to the day and a beautiful year ahead. I posted on FB & tweeted. Most interested in 21 Secrets…and your book is intriguing, too! xox from a fellow loungette!
Happy Birthday (next week), Tara. Thank you for this opportunity, my lovely. I tweeted, and posted on my FB page. I also added a pin to my Pinterest “Art Journaling” board. A super place to feature your brilliance. I’d like to be entered to receive any of the 3. In priority order, the workshop, supplies, and your book – such yummy stuff – it’s difficult to decide!
