Pleasant Surprise (and a RAK!)

Well I was checking out all the blogs I love to follow today I saw the winner of the Altered Christmas Ornament at Art de Scrapz Blog. Wow! It was me! Well thank you very much ladies for the honor!

This, of course, put me in a very good mood (that and getting about 15 hours worth of financial work done - YAY!). So, I think I'll give away a RAK! Not sure what yet...but I promise it will be nice!

Want a chance to win? Just leave me a comment between now and Wednesday, February 3 and I'll draw a random winner and announce it on Thursday!

Happy creating!!!

About the Artist

Hi, I’m Vickie Flinchum an Oregon City Mixed Media Assemblage Artist, playfully identifying myself as “Da Scrap Addict.” Originally hailing from the Deep South, I spent many years in Kentucky, Florida and Texas before relocating to the Pacific Northwest. I’m self taught with no formal artistic education. My love of art has followed me from childhood, with learning, exploring and creating being a life-long passion. My fascination with color and texture, and corrosion and weathering is reflected in my work where I often combine vintage baubles, found objects and distressed elements to express my artistic voice. I have over a decade of experience in the Paper Crafting and Scrapbooking industry as a product demonstrator and designer, blogger, design team member, educator and published artist. My works have been featured in Cloth, Paper Scissors Magazine; The Big Book of Scrapbooking Ideas and The Bind-It-All Around the World – Idea Book. I regularly exhibit at Moonlight Coffeehouse, Boutique & Gallery in Oak Grove and Three Rivers Artists Guild Gallery located in the Singer Hill Cafe in Oregon City.
