Before I get to the prizes and the rest of the party agenda, I'll share a little digital collage I got done today. It's about talking to you know who, which I've been doing a lot of this year.
The Conference
copyright by Marsha Jorgensen 9/15/2010. All rights reserved.
Just goofing off with this idea. 8 x 10 digital collage. Image credits: grass is from Spring Fairies of Holliewood Studios at DeviantScrap.com; frame is from designer Lorie Davison of Studio Lorie at Scrapbookgraphics.com; textures from flypapertextures.blogspot.com and DistressedJewell. Everything else is from my stash or my images in my etsy.
You might notice the body came from the new image set I have in my Etsy. Here are two new sets, A Hint of Odd and A Hint of Odd Extras . . . Please note! At the time of this posting, Etsy is having listing issues, so if I run out of images, I'll be restocking as soon as Etsy works again!
Okay, here's the Fabulous Finds part . . . and the prizes!
I ordered the cutest little cosmetic bags from Susi Trenery of SusiCreates. I just adore them and am going to order gobs of them as gifts. It's your lucky day because one of the prizes you could win from today's post is one of her bags! Thank you, Susi, for helping me celebrate this week! I'm showing you the bags I have purchased so far, but the winner's will be a surprise for now. Susi's flickr is here and her Etsy shop is linked to the pictures below:

To win an original Susi bag, just leave a comment on this post. One lucky randomly drawn winner will be announced Saturday, September 18!
Now for the next prize! How about a poem written just for YOU?! While visiting one of my favorite blogs today, as often happens, I was lead to another cool site from there. And I found Poem Store. I wish I could show you pictures but I have not got permission to do that. (you can see some in the next link I show you in a minute though) This lovely lady sits on the sidewalk with her typewriter and writes poetry on demand with the slogan, "your subject, your price". So, I thought I'd commission a poem for one lucky winner. I will spring for the "authentic" version, actually typed on paper and mailed to you! Just comment this post and see if your name is drawn on Saturday.
Other Finds
So, I found Poem Store on one of my favorite blogs, Paul Murray. I've not met Paul and I'm not sure he really knows I exist but I stop by his blog when I can. He has the most amazing collections of things. Reminds me of one of my long time blog buddies, Linda Crispell if you are familiar with her swanky yummy collections. And he goes to the coolest places and shares the best pictures of things. It's good to get out of the familiar neighborhood for a stroll, so maybe you'll meander over and visit his lovely blog. You can see pictures of his encounter with Poem Store!
And, here's another cool site I stumbled across after watching Project Runway. Philip Treacy is an incredible hat artist, of all things. Not just a milliner but an artist that happens to make art for the head. These are not your mama's hats for Sunday services. I wish he would make collage sheets! Take a peek and brace yourself, you're about to be blown away!
Let's review the prizes . . .
Gray Area Challenge - make a gray scale collage or art piece and post to your blog and post the link here on the Gray Area Challenge post that will be available late Friday night and Saturday. One of the lucky participants will be randomly drawn to win a free print of their choice from my Etsy. You can read more about it here.
Post a comment on Monday's post here to possibly win free tuition to Slelagh Duffett's Sensational Snap Society Course, which you'll be taking with me!
Post a comment on Tuesday's post here to possibly win a one of a kind collage sheet with images from my private reserve stash!
Post a comment on today's post to enter the drawing for either a cosmetic bag from SusiCreates or a poem from Poem Store commissioned just for you!
Come back late Thursday or early Friday for the next prize! Saturday is the big day!

First off, thanks for introducing us to a few different blogs! Great finds. Philip Treacy is a little Lady Gaga meets Zetti art, huh?! Fascinating!

I was just browsing your lovely images at flickr - love your digital artwork. Wish I could do something like it, but I'm more hands on with my collages (and I get glue all over). Take care!
Hello old friend! I haven't been very diligent in blog visiting. I've been
busy creating & somehow I can't seem to combine the 2 very well.
