If It's Tuesday: This must be PARIS

.

.

Just a few snapshots of Paris for your viewing pleasure. There's no denying the beauty of the architecture in Paris. Almost every street or vista will have you in awe of her beauty. However some of my favourites aspects of Paris are simply her storybook rooftops with rows of chimney pots lined up like soldiers.. The quizzical lamp posts standing guard and lighting the way.... and for a bit of humour.. sitting and watching the traffic fighting it's way around the Arc de Triomphe... For all it's historical significance.. it's the crazy traffic below that seems to grab my attention.. Just thankful I didn't try to drive there myself.

ART With Heart: Blogger Giveaways

.

.

.

It's been almost a year since I've posted to my ART WITH HEART series.. How did that happen? And where did that year go? ... Time to kick start the series I think and nothing better to create enthusiasm than a giveaway .. So today I'm giving you the heads up on a couple of giveaways from some talented blog friends who have ART WITH HEART

.

J Beaudet Studios

.

Our clever and talented friend Jennifer is having a giveaway of one of her original oil paintings at her blog.. J Beaudet Studios. I've long admired Jennifer's talent and bought my very first oil painting from her when I found her blog and Etsy last year.. Well being the generous soul Jennifer is.. she is giving some lucky reader the chance to own one of her originals. The winner can choose from any 6x8" original oil on canvas and there are a few to choose from... Subjects ranging from Vintage Ladies to wonderful Italian Destinations and cute as a button Retro Fashion... My favourites are her Vintage Swimsuits Girls.. and this one below is part of her 6x8" range and also up for grabs... So don't dilly dally here people .. get over there and get your entry in... The giveaway closes at the end of this week..

Decorus Vita Mercatus

.

Another giveaway happening at the moment is from Patsy of Decorus Vita Mercatus... Patsy creates beautiful burlap cushions imprinted with inspiring Latin Phrases... The giveaway cushion has printing on both sides... One side with 'Divinitus" [Divine Influence] and the other with 'CarpeDiem' [Seize the Day]... So depending on your mood.. you can either create your own destiny .. or wait for divine inspiration to give you a hand.. However I suspect Carpe Diem is required to get in the draw .. so pop over to Patsy's and check out her giveaway

Kim's giveaway is the choice of one of two burlap lumbar cushions.. both with the inscription 'Buona Notte' ... One with button closure and one without... What's not to love??? .. Do yourself a favour and head over there also and say Ciao to Kim for me!
