And it is just in time for Valentine's Day! {I'm going to cheat a little and have this post also double for my what I'm working on Wednesday..... as it has been what I've been working on}
I have been playing around with mixed media recently and love it. Yes, I love rug hooking and making rugs, but every once in a while, I like to mix it up and try new things. So for this giveaway I am offering one of my mixed media pieces. It is a very simple and sweet red heart attached to an art canvas that has been decoupaged with scrapbook paper. For a touch of whimsy, I added some felt balls and twisted wire to the top of the canvas. Although this piece was made for Valentine's Day, I used neutral colors so you could use it all year long. It is called "Believe in Love"
Here is a picture of the side of the canvas. You can see the sweet scrapbook paper I used for the sides.
Now for the details on how to win.........

I want so much to start this wonderful new hobby. I have the tools just need to get the wool cut into strips. One can never have to many projects started can they? Karin E:)
Hi Maria,
Just asking you to include me in your drawing. Thanks, Linda G
I started to follow your blog but I don't know how to post you on my sidebar.
Maria, I got the heart in the mail and had it hung on the wall within one minute! (The nail was already there, as if waiting for something fabulous!) THANK YOU again. Our local girls have been working with more mixed media hooking for a couple of years. I love how you used Velcro on the back. I can even hook different holiday things and stick them to the canvas!!!
xo, Sheri
