I began writing this blog when I was seventeen. Back then it was called 'Oh Snail!' and it was a place to document everything I made. Over the years I sometimes wrote posts sporadically and at other times there were weekly updates. My blog has followed me through my last year of high school, the two years I lived in Montreal, through pregnancy, motherhood and university. I am honoured to be able to share my life through this medium and in this community. On the 16th of February, my little blog turns 6 (!) and I thought I would have a giveaway to celebrate!
There will be three winners, who will each receive one of the following;
1.) An original (unframed) watercolour painting by me.
2.) A hand-bound watercolour paper book.
3.) A handmade jointed kangaroo doll.
You may enter this giveaway at most three times by doing the following:
1.) Follow Ruby Hoppen (bottom right-hand column)
2.) "Like" my facebook page (button on the right)
3.) Share this giveaway on facebook, instagram, twitter or your blog
Please leave a separate comment below each time you enter saying which item you would like to win and make sure I can contact you via email.
Unfortunately this giveaway is only open to Australian entrants. Winners will be picked by a random number generator and announced on Saturday the 16th of February, around 8pm est.
Good Luck!
Lovely giveaway - your watercolour is beautiful. xo
ReplyDeleteWow you are a serious long term blogger, and you are still just a chick yourself (compared to all us old hens). Congrats on being so prolifically creative all this time and keep up the watercolours you have real talent. I love all those prizes but the roo is my fave. mel x
ReplyDeleteRuby, 6 years and so young - that's amazing!! Do I have to choose, because I like your watercolour and kangaroo in equal measures. I think maybe the Kangaroo because there are 5 others here that would love her too. I'm already a follower. Mel x
