Hello Friends! I am giving away a bag of eye candy treats to one lucky winner who can guess the magic number between 1 and 100. Included is a hot-off-the-press copy of the new Halloween with Matthew Mead Book! And, when you turn to page 136, you'll see that I have signed the 2-page article that features a fun Q & A between me & Matthew regarding my Halloween art. This collectible edition will arrive in my illustrated "Happy Halloween" owl treat bag tote alongside a matching owl notepad from my collection. It's a super fun trio of Halloween delights, and I wish you the best of luck in snatching this fun set for yourself!
UPDATE: We have 2 WINNERS!!!
I'm feelin' that Halloween love tonight, especially after just reading ALL of your sweet messages! Two of you guessed the magic number: 10 (the month of October) + 31 (Halloween) = *41*
So, since I have an extra Tote, Book & Note, 2 sets will go out to:
PinFeathers & mbrcutie!
Congrats to you both, and please EMAIL Me with your shipping addresses. Many many THANKS to all of you for playing along and admiring my work! You inspire me :-)

My guess is 66 and since I am following your blog, my second guess is 22. Love your owls and that notepad is awesome! Would be fun to write notes on it or just put one of the sheets in a tiny frame. I think Cameron might be on to something with 31 though...
My guess is 3. What can I say, gotta stir it up a little. ;)
And I just pinned you, so my second guess is 18. I love Matthew Mead's books, your work, and Halloween. So this seems like an opportune moment to snag all at once. :)

My Guess is 62. Since I can't go to Ghoultide and I am the Hudson Valley Halloween Queen. It's only fair that some of that Halloween spooky fabulousness should find it's way to NY!!
My guess is 62 and it's only fair that since I can't attend GhoulTide, and I am the Hudson Valley Halloween Queen, that some of your Halloween spooky fabulousness so head my way.
I guess the most logical number to pick...since it is for Halloween is 31, but I know that will be popular, so I am going to 33, I was born on March. 3rd and am hoping 3rd Month and 3 day is a good choice. I love your all your designs and buy many of them from Kathy's Primitives. Your Halloween Buckets are the cutest!! I put the mini ones on a feather tree and it is the centerpiece of my decorating. Keep up the good work:)

I would like to enter 45 as I will be turning 45 on October 26! Halloween has always been my favorite holiday since I was a little girl.I am an artist/graphic designer based in Wichita, KS and I just absolutely love your artwork. I have a feeling turning 45 will be a surreal experience for me this year as I remember my mom being 45 when I was a teenager which did not seem so long ago. Take care and many blessings to get through the holiday pinch with all
your wonderful artwork!
