I, too, am going to do a give away!!! I want blog comments!!! And Flickr Photo Comments!! Yep, I am becoming a comment junkie and I want to encourage MORE!!!! And how do we do that??? By giving something away to those that comment.
So how do we play?
Each time someone leaves a comment on my blog or on my Flickr page (today), January 2 through January 31, I will add their name to a drawing to conclude at the end of my trip to Africa, (Drawing winners announced on Feb 5th) right here on the blog.
The Prizes? There will be more than one, and they are yet to be determined, since they are or will be something I bring home from Africa…. And I am not done with the adventure, but my visits around Africa will consider these as purchases… Maybe a basket, or a painting, a carved stone or wooden animal, fabric or a mask or Salad fork and spoon, or a purse… or who knows…. coming over I was 15 pounds light… so I have lots of room in my luggage to take things home!!!
Of course I am hoping for only positive comments, or at the least constructive criticism. If you are posting as anonymous or your email is not linked to your comment, be sure to leave an email address so I can notify you.
On Flickr -it will work the same, but the prize(s) are different. I will offer a print of choice to the winners from my photographs on Flickr… at least 3 winners of prints, (Prints will be printed at a Professional Print lab, NOT Walmart). Sizes will vary from 11x14 (largest), 8x10 to 5x7 (smallest) print sizes… But you have to leave a comment on a favorite photo about why you like it!!! And they don’t have to be photos from Africa, any of my photos will qualify. Just tell me why or what you like about the picture.
And as always- More Later!!!

Ohhhh, you're so lucky, I wish I can go there..., it's one of my dreams to go there, **sigh**, but maybe a souvenir can help me, lol, one of my uncles went there, 3 years ago, the trip was really expensive, that's why my aunt didn't go, poor her!, he loved the trip and he's always watering our mouths with his adventure there... (grrrr!!!), have fun there and take millions of pics!, we'd like to see them!
ReplyDeleteWow...Africa. How lucky you are. Couldn't believe the beach picture with all the umbrellas so close together. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter went to South Africa and Nambia while she was in college for 3 weeks. She had SO much fun, I know that you will too.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see some beautiful hand made necklaces from local artisans made with local materials.

Wish I could go to Africa with you, but I'm afraid I am waaaay over the 15 lbs you were short!!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth,
ReplyDeleteOkay - just figured out how to do this! Sent you a note - I'm having a blast with these 4X4's - and those colored pencils. I love the pencil technique so much I ordered a set for myself! Hope all is going well - sounds like you are having the time of your life. Miss you!

Okay, enjoying warm weather and gentle breezes in Africa while we are freezing our ****** at home. Do you think yoiu could bottle and bring back some of that warmth?? Have fun and we look forward to hearing and seeing more of your "adventures". BTW, the grasshopper is beautiful, even if it is deadly.

Heck I'm with Karen - I'd love a trip back to RAS to see what's changed in the 32 odd years since I left as a child of 14, but seriously, having had a 'slide' though your photos, you have stirred up many memories of those 2 years when we lived out there, thanks
ReplyDeleteQue fortuna tienes de poder conocer esa tierra misteriosamente bella.
ReplyDeleteIncluye mi nombre en tu regalo seguramente sera maravilloso ya que tienes la inspiracion en este continente africano.

ReplyDeleteLove the closeup picture of the beautifully colored poisonous milkweed grasshopper. Sure can't beat Mother Nature's color sense.

ReplyDeleteSo are you putting african beads on your 4X4's? I await the great unveil with anticipation. BTW, you sound very happy to be in SA and I love the grasshopper pic as well. Damn, I do need to buy a new camera!!!! - Amri
ReplyDeleteOkay, love the baskets (especially the one with the lid and the one directly under it) and the fabric. Now, I need to go make another CQ. - Amri
ReplyDeleteLove all those colors together -- this time of year, I find myself craving those exact colors, in fact!
ReplyDeleteHey Beth! I finally made it here to your blog. Pushed DH out the door for his trip this morning and now I have a bit more time to *play*....hehehe Miss our road trips...but I have to tell you...THOSE BLUE FABRIC ARE THE BOMB!!! Bring me one of each. Kidding of course...I'm doing a block swap with some gals on an online list and these are MY COLORS. :) Now I need to hit your Flickr album and see this famous grasshopper. Miss you! Have a great trip...(poor Axel! Blaz sends a "ruff ruff")...Sue
ReplyDeleteMe again..your pics are all wonderful. My favs are that mallow flower...it just glows! The grasshopper WAS cool, I liked the beach with all the purple umbrellas and your butterflies. You know how I like rainbows..that one is great too. Of course I couldn't leave without spotting a chicken! :)
ReplyDeleteTake care! We'll miss you next week at SUGs!
Sue
