Super-Duper Mega April Giveaway!

I have been so totally remiss when it comes to my "monthly" giveaways...I think I've only had one since I started my blog last October! Today I'm making good on my promise & launching a Super-Duper Mega Giveaway with not one...not two...but FIVE different prizes to make up for the months I've missed. And I promise to keep up with my monthly giveaways in future!

Here is the little swag of prizes I have to giveaway...

Prizes 1 & 2 are packs of Magic Jelly goodies (value approx. $20 each)...they each contain the following...

• Sunday Morning 3.5" cork-backed drink coaster
• pack of 5 1.25" button badges (assorted Magic Jelly designs)
• pack of 5 Jelly tags
• a little bag of vintage plastic trinkets & ephemera

Prize No. 3 is a 5x7" print on canvas panel called Snap!
& a pack of 5 Jelly tags ( value $18). Prize No. 4 is one of my Fox & Flowers limited edition Gocco prints & a pack of 5 Jelly tags(value $15).

To win one of these, all you need to do is subscribe to my mailing list - that's where I'll draw the names of the winners. If you'd like to leave a comment or email me with your preferred prize, I'll keep that in mind if I happen to draw your name. Easy!

The 5th prize is an extra special one...an original Mixed Media piece called (rather unimaginatively) Jack Rabbit. It's an ink drawing on tea-stained Hahnemuhle paper, on a collaged background, mounted to brown kraft card (sheet size 6x6"). This is an original - not a reproduction - & is worth $85 (the winner gets a pack of Jelly tags too).

Picking a winner of this one is a little bit different...rather than just drawing a name out of a hat, I'd like you to write a Haiku about a bunny. Either post your little poem in the comments or email it to me & I'll pick my favourite!

I'm announcing the winners in a week's time, so you have until Wednesday the 9th of April to sign up to my mailing list & submit your Haiku if you want a chance to win the bunny! :)

OK, neither a poet, or much awake, but here goes:

HIs eyes open wide
Ears tense, nose pricked, feet ready
Ever vigilant

[sarah]

I've been wanting that fox print FOREVER! And the bunny is amazing!

Children grab my ears,
Pull my tail, dump my basket.
Easter bunny woes.

[Veronica]

Whoa here goes. I love your "Jack Rabbit" original so I am willing to make an ass of myself for it.

The scent of fox near
The whole of my existence
Depends on stillness.

[Meiling]

My first feeble attempt at haiku:

luscious ivory
its precious fragility
ever beckons me.

I'm looking at my pet bunny as I type this.

Soft as a snowflake
Gentle as a springtime breeze
Jumps high in tall grass

Oh my goodness!! I love the fox print and the little bunny makes my heart go pitter patter!! Off to craft my {winning} haiku :) Yes!

[Ashley]

I can't believe I am making a fool of myself like this, but I am such a big fan that I have to enter. So here is my pitiful haiku (my first ever!). Please don't laugh.

Jack Rabbit stares off
sees much to both love and fear.
It's a jungle out there.

I am sorry you guys! :P

[Jessica Hood]

little bunny foo
seen in a cute pink tutu
i want to hug you

[Victoria]

A first for me too! (Hangs head in literary shame...)

Brown fur soft as silk
Black eyes innocent yet wise
My artistic muse

[Joyce]

velveteen rabbit
no need to withdraw and hide
i will not harm you

Or I also thought about having "little white rabbit" as the first line..not sure what works better. Not sure if both sound dumb. Newbie @ Haiku, obviosuly:)

Thanks!

I am loving your blog. It is beautiful.

[Alyson]

This is my first time seeing your blog. It's so pretty!

Let me give the haiku a shot, because I really love Mr. Jack Rabbit. :)

Little nose pulsing
Heartbeat a mile a minute
Nervous, Jack Rabbit?

[janice laverne]

here is my haiku

nose twitch glance away
rabbit eyes scan the sky
hawk above, run prey

sure like your site and your work.

All I can say is WOWEE!! It's going to be hard to pick a favourite - all of these have been amazingly beautiful so far! :)

Keep 'em coming people!

[Karena (Magic Jelly)]

Well I can't enter, of course, but I wanted to write one too!

Transfixed, ruby eye
at every scent and sigh
is ready to fly

[Anna Laura]

chicken, pork, beef, fish
who eats rabbits anyway?
they look better alive!

[poeticsense]

human scent on the breeze
looking for mischief
lets play!

[goodfeets]

green spring leaves unfold
lying in the grass, she sighs
a rabbit is born

And here's the best song ever about a rabbit:

hippity hop
bunnies in the garden veg
mean summer is here

[Bunny B]

Over the green hill
The bunny scampers away
Fluffy cotton tail

[Treet]

Quietly I sit
Part of all the universe
You call me bunny

[Melody]

Penny was her name
Sweet little bunny of mine
Oh how I miss her
