Edited to add: Last call to enter the friendship blog hop give-away! I'll be drawing the winner tonight (Sunday) at 9:00 p.m. California time and will post the winner about noon on Monday.
The bird a nest,
the spider a web,
a man friendship.
Wm. Blake
Welcome to the Friendship blog hop! I've been blogging for a little over a year, and I have made so many wonderful connections and friendships all over the world! I made this art journal page to let you know how much you all mean to me. Thank you for your friendship, stories, artwork and inspiration. In gratitude, I am giving away a prize today. After much thought, I've decided to give away a spot in Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas class, since Shimelle is the woman who got so many of us started in blogging. It's also a bit of a "pay it forward" prize, since I recently won a spot in Shimelle's True Stories class and am thoroughly enjoying it.
To enter, simply leave a comment. If you've already taken Journal Your Christmas, don't despair! You can assign the free spot to one of your friends or choose one of Shimelle's archived classes which you haven't taken or hold onto the pass for a future Shimelle class (though I ask you to use it by March 2, 2011). From here, you should hop on over to Liberty Cottage at this link (http://libertycottage.blogspot.com/). Be sure to carry the following letter with you: "O", as in Ontiveros! How convenient is that?

What a lovely prize! And what a lovely page... love the wings and crown!
Rinda, I hope you know how much I enjoy my stop here every day - it's always fresh and always enjoyable. It has been a real pleasure getting to know you over the past year and I'm hoping we have many more years of blogging ahead of us x (And of course I continue to hope that we might entice you back over here at some point in the future)
Great post and gorgeous page. Just beautiful!
Lovely journal page, Rinda! I really like to see your Art Journal - it's so different to the sort of stuff I do.
It's been such a pleasure for me, to meet so many new people over the past year and especially to make some really great new friends - I hope you are happy to be counted among them!
I do enjoy your blog. I love to read about the interesting happenings in your life - your family, your job teaching Law and what it means to you, your great crafting classes, where you live and what it's like, the Football and Baseball matches.... I especially enjoyed the video you posted, of yourself speaking about your job. It was great to hear your "real voice" and to see you in "real life", not just as a static photo on a blog screen.
Great prize idea - I'm sure the winner will be delighted!
Wow, what a wonderful pay it forward. I would love to win the spot in Shimelle's JYC class as I've never taken it before. Thanks for sharing your art journal page.
I love that quote! And such a generous prize offering. So lovely getting to know you :)

That page is beautiful. I love the bubble wrap stamping (well, I'm assuming it's bubble wrap!).
Thanks for the chance to win a JYC spot, I really want to do this class and have been trying to find the funds! xx
Hello Rinda, I am a new visitor to your blog, I have come over on the friendship blog hop. I love your artwork, it's just something I can't do, but love to see.
