Christmas Fairy Brooch. A Giveaway Draw!
Just for you this Christmas and the New Year, I thought it was time for a giveaway! All you have to do is to follow my blog, facebook or both and leave a comment HERE to be entered into the draw. If you follow me on Joanne May Illustration and Jewellery Design and my blog, you will be entered twice, giving you a better chance of winning this silver Fairy and Amethyst Brooch.
Finally, here is my Christmas card to all my blog friends. This beautiful sensitive image is by my very favourite illustrator, Arthur Rackham and it is called 'The Night before Christmas'. I love how Rackham has captured the sweet innocence on the children's faces and the guardian angels floating above them while they sleep.
Have a Magical Christmas and a Very Happy New Year. May all your dreams come true in 2012! xx
Oh, how generous!! And so beautiful! I follow you here and on FB! xoxo
