I won A treasure Trove of Ideas from Cindy Adkins!

 I'm sure many of you know the talented Cindy Adkins from her blog Whimsical Musings, and her online magazine Whimsical Musings Magazine.  If you don't know her yet be sure to stop by her blogs.  To celebrate the release of her newest book 

Mixed Media Art: Living your Passion, she had a giveaway, which I was so fortunate to have won.  

This book includes:~Numerous original projects to create

Where to find myriad items for mixed media work

How to get your art displayed publicly

There are lots of projects you may also want to make as Christmas gifts too.  
I bought the book, it is awesome!  You will never go shopping the same way anywhere after you read this book!  So many helpful insights, great ideas on how to get your art out there and recognized!  There is a Kindle for PC version available so you don't even have to own a Kindle to read it.  The Kindle for PC is a free download and the book is only $2.99, a real steal if you ask me.  Great way to jump start your art for the new year too.

This is the “A Treasure Trove of Ideas” Prize Package I received.

~A gorgeous vintage locket (to create a “Remembrance Piece” like the one discussed in the book.)

~Hand-stamped seam binding with French writing to use in my own art.

~The original ATC created especially for the book which is signed and dated.

~A beautifully embossed “Creative Journey” journal embellished with Tim Holtz Ideology images.

~The original “Wish” Tag Book created especially for Mixed Media Art: Living Your Passion.

~12 tags to decorate and make tag books of my own.

I must say I am totally blown away!  Cindy's work is rich and gorgeous.  The awesome leather journal is going to take some real thought into what I will use it for, it is so elegant, I have never owned a journal this fine!  I want to keep it for something truly as special as it is.   These are all such beautiful keepsakes, the wish tag book and signed and dated ATC will find a special place of honor in my craft room.  And I can't wait to create my tags, locket and to use the gorgeous hand stamped seam binding!
