It was my intention to celebrate my 100th blog post with a giveaway, but my 100th post occurred while we were away in July. Instead, I hope you'll join me in celebrating my 111th blog post!

I made this little book using some of the paper I made at my guild's 2008 "Tortured Metals" workshop with Victoria Pittman. (A different piece of paper from that same workshop serves as part of my blog's header.)

I filled the book with a few of my favorite quotes.

My sincere thanks to everyone that has encouraged me and supported A Place to Flourish. My initial goal for beginning this blog was to motivate myself to create finished pieces for my guild's exhibits. (You can read my very first post HERE.) Blogging has not only helped me accomplish that goal, but it has also introduced me to so many wonderful people. With your encouragement, I have felt empowered to play, explore and learn...to share my experiences in the studio...warts and all. Thank you for making A Place to Flourish my vehicle for creation. I am thoroughly enjoying the journey!
By leaving a comment on this post, you will be registered to win this little book. My international readers are welcome to participate. The deadline for leaving comments for the giveaway is 12:00pm Eastern Time on Thursday, October 7th. (**Update: Registration is now closed**) I will select the winner via www.random.org and post the winner in next Friday's post.
Happy Flourish Friday!
XOXO
Jane
