AND THE WINNER IS…

Thank you all for entering the giveaway. Using Random.org’s random number generator (and reducing the total number of entries by two — one for my comment up top and one for the duplicate by Ann — the winning commenter is Deanna. Pretty scientific, huh?

I didn’t want to jump in as we usually do at The Sister Project and say welcome too many of you who are new, but it’s great to see you all here and we hope to again soon. Meantime, happiest of happy holidays…joy, peace, all of it.

Margaret and TSP

Susan’s expressiveness in her art object creations, and her words, are an inspiration. She shares so much of herself. I wish she were MY sister!

I’m leaving a comment because I hope to win one of these amazing items. Decoupage has always interested me. Unfortunately, I find it hard to allow myself the freedom to place items “randomly” and then affix them permanently. Countless times I have carefully studied an object, selected pictures, covered an item and then never glued them in place. They remain there, waiting, until the piece must be moved to make room for something else. Then – it’s gone. All that’s left are a mass of odd shaped patchwork pieces… available once again to be used in another temporary piece of artwork. Thanks to the advent of digital photography I now snap a quick picture or two to have as a momento. Perhaps that in itself is the work of art?

My sister is a chosen friend from childhood. We’re closer than most biological sisters I know. I’ll never forget the time 20 years ago when I was on crutches with a newly broken leg, and she stayed right by my side down 4 flights of stairs to help me out of a burning building. I know she would do the same today or 20 years from now.
