I don't know if the contest is still open, but if so I'd love to be entered. I'd be thrilled to win any one of those prizes, but especially the course spot!

Those ATC's are very cool! I love the idea of artists collecting each other's work :)

[jkbees]

I would love to add my name to the list. I'm looking forward to the portrait class.

[sydneygb]

I never noticed playing cards are the same size as ATCs! And here I went and bought a pack of watercolour paper ones... :) The dollar store might have some cheap playing cards I can snag.

Anyway, as always I love your vids - that theme music always makes me smile! - and thought I'd gratuitously post to be included in the prize draw! *blush*

[ickleapril]

Squee Babyyyyy! How exciting, you look so lovely and baby filled. What a good idea to use playing cards, I am going to go try make some now. Hopefully no one will notice a few cards missing... te he *^_^* xxxxx

[Toneeke]

Hi Tam... wow ... can't wait for the little one to get here... Loved the video...

Toneeke

[Neferkit]

I'n behind on watching vids, so I hope I'm not to late to enter your contest. Big Hugs

[GoodQueenLaura]

Tam,

You are so (sew) darn talented. My internet has been down for a few days. I hope I'm not too late to win! You know I often leave you comments and I rate your videos. I think I should win a prize. I would be very lucky.

Take care!

[paupi22]

Valt er wat te winnen? gna-gna!!!!!

Tam......BUIK!!!!! :-)) spannend!

love Paulina

[theartsychik]

WOW! You are just amazing!!! You make drawing portraits look so easy. I LOVE ATC's they are so much fun! When my daughters little friends come over to play I will pull out all of the recycled mac n cheese and cereal boxes and cut them down to the right size and let the kids draw and paint on them. It is great fun and they love to trade and the cardstock is freeeeeee. Thanks for sharing today, blessings to you and the little one. =-) !!!

[txmegan09]

always enjoy your videos...my sister is delivering her second child, a girl, today (Aug 4) so i know how excited you must be for your new little one!! BEST luck and prayers for a safe delivery. Love your art...always an inspiration.

[purpleglow7]

i love ATCs... prize giveaways are awesome too :) i definitely want to win a spot in your course..

[lolarennt]

Great video. You know I never thought about actually sewing the fabric on. Hmmm. Maybe I'll join this new swap and do that with the "birth" one. Thanks for the tip about the Playing cards. I was using the pre-cut ATC's you get at the craft store, but the cards would be cheaper for sure!

[EvelineUK]

Where did you get that huuuuge tub of Gesso? I've only managed to find small ones in The Works.... :(

[chokOmiidori]

I love ATCs!!! I remember the first time I went to a big deal gallery, I took so many that I felt bad & had to hide a few under my jacket!!!

[crunchygranolastudio]

Oh, Tam, Good Luck with your impending birth! I've enjoyed watching your vidoes over the last year or so. Would love to take a class when I can afford it! Have you picked out names yet?

[kathydid47]

Amazing! Love watching that ATC come together. I'm one of those who wants to turn out a tradable ATC, but not good enough yet I'm afraid! I share with my dog, though she doesn't trade back for some strange reason! Exciting about your baby!! This video had me laughing out loud when you talked of how huge you are! It's all baby so soon you shall be petite again!

[skoop0808]

I love your videos! I think I am waiting for your little one with as much anticipation as my grandchildren!

[sofinegirlfriend]

You are always so inspiring to me. Where do you draw your inspiration from? Enter me please, I want to take the portrait class; I learned so much in the Art Journal class. Best wishes on your delivery. C. Martin

[dianaryman]

Which way to order to add the appropriate shipping, via etsy or ? I can give you my postal address if needed for info.

[EvelineUK]

I like the ATCs, I want to maybe try and do a few of those now. :D I never thought about using playing cards, that is a great idea, you could even incorporate the print on them. I've way to many ideas and inspiration and not enough time and energy. ERG.... HEehee I so wish I could get your videos from your courses. Maybe if I sell some more jewelry and if my art sells then I will be able to! (fingers crossed!) You look just as beautiful at 38 weeks! as you did in 8! AmAziNg!

[purplestarfishdesign]
