And The Winners for the "Celebrate Oz" Blog Party Drawing Are ....

As promised, shortly after Noon today, I put all 14 names of the persons who commented on my "Celebrate Oz 2012" Blog Party posting into my pointy witch hat and as I drew them out I numbered each folded entry. 

The fun part?  Opening each little folded piece of paper to find the name of the winner revealed!  So, here are the winners in the order their names were drawn from my black witchy hat:

1st Place:  Magaly - winner of an original Oz Series ACEO of her choice (which turns out to be "The Wicked Witch Is Dead!").

2nd Place:  Sammie - winner of an entire Open Edition Oz ACEO Series (18 in all)!

3rd Place:  Debbie of Craftymoose Crafts fame - winner of 2 group 8" x 10" open edition prints featuring all 18 of the Oz characters.

4th Place:  Kitty, the Hockman Girl - winner of the ruby red hand crocheted book marker.

5th Place:  Lise - winner of one of the emerald green hand crocheted amulet necklaces.

6th Place:  Gloria of New End Studio - winner of the other emerald green hand crocheted amulet necklace.

Congratulations to all of the "Celebrate Oz 2012" winners!

I have notified all of the winners prior to posting this announcement, as soon as I have received each of their full names and addresses I will mail out their respective prizes.

Thank you to all of you who participated in the "Celebrate Oz" Blog Party and for all of the wonderful comments you shared at my blog.

Happy Day!

I have been enjoying creating Oz character ACEO's for the past couple of weeks and have a few more ideas I want illustrate .... in the meantime I thought it would be fun to do some "eye spying"!   Following are the eyes of several Oz characters ... can you tell who the eyes belong to?

Looking forward to your response comments!   "Eye Spy" a Winkie!  Can you?????

Happy "Eye Spying"!
