Such a wonderful way to join the artistic community! BTW, I am also following Bliss Habits blog... :) Can't wait to see what is next!
The creativity prompt project post was neat.
jamieadkins@mail.com
I just now became a follower too. interesting blog and lots to look at and read!
Oh my goodness, what a fabulous site, and what a generous giveaway. I just got lost for a bit, reading about "Impossible" things (so cute the way her daughter inspired her), about that block I have regarding my feeling of not being creative (that is soooo me!), and the overuse of the word "passion" - I soooo agree! What fun. And that was just in the first half-hour. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the wonderful giveaway. Whether I win or not, I count myself lucky to have found BlissHabits, for sure. Have fun during your extended Halloween!
I've just become a follower. I don't do facebook or twitter, but blog-following is definitely my "thing." Thanks again. :)
Thanks for this giveaway! I visited Bliss Habits and loved the story about creativity and her four year old. So true!
I follow both facebook sites.
I just love all your little categories, they're great! I love the words you chose and everything fits so well with those words. My favorite categories are either whimsy or creativity... so cute!

That camera is amazing.
I like the categories that you can select, whimsy, romance, that is such a great touch.
