I’ve called in sick three days this week (the most since maternity leave), been through 4 whole boxes of tissue, and downed an entire package of Nyquil. However, I’m to the point where I don’t think I’m going to die anymore. That’s a bonus.
I easily could have skipped SaS Day this week (‘cause I know you would understand), but I have the mother of all giveaways for you. I just couldn’t let it go.
Casey Childs contacted me recently and asked if my readers would be interested in a commissioned piece of original artwork. Hello! I don’t have a commissioned piece of anything! You send him the picture, and he sketches it for you. By hand. No machinery here, folks.
“Spud” (below) is my absolute favorite. I love how he captured so many of the details from the original photograph—including the smirk/not quite a smile that he’s giving.
You readers love your dogs! Given my relationship with the Nemesis, I don’t know that I would have him sketched, but you just can’t beat the quality of this piece. I like it better than the photograph!
There’s obviously no denying that Casey is a talented artist, and I am so happy that he’s giving an original piece of art (an $875 value!!) to you.
Right now, Casey is running a special promotion on his site. It ends Monday, so you don’t want to wait. You can purchase an original 11×14 piece of framed art for only $249 ($275 internationally). In addition, Just a Girl readers will receive another 5% off! Shut the front door. Seriously. Shut it. Enter code “JUSTAGIRL” for your extra discount.
Alright…how do you win?

I would love to have a sketch of my dad who has passed away. My favorite picture of us is our my wedding day where we are waiting to walk down the aisle and he kissed me on the cheek. I honestly would cry if I could get this giveaway.

Great giveaway I would love to have my dog sketched!
I have had my horse for 20 years, since he was 6 and fresh off the track and I was a new college grad. He retired 3 years ago and I miss riding him so much… but still enjoy going ot see him and feeding him carrot muffins for his birthday or our ‘anniversary’. To have a portrait of him would be awesome!
Love this week’s SaS- tons of inspiration! I linked up our pumpkin trio. Thanks for hosting Chris!
To enter the giveaway (after linking up) I left a comment on Limited Sketch’s site telling him I would love to win a sketch for my son’s birthmom 🙂 Fingers crossed!!!

What amazingly fantastic talent. I would totally get a sketch of Ashley, the best puppy dog ever. We had to let her go yesterday (Friday) even though she was so young (18 months). I left a comment at Casey’s site.
I also posted about this giveaway on Twitter (B3HDtheBlog) and on our facebook page (B3HD).
Awesome giveaway.
