The final touch (but not the least) arrived yesterday… a brand new La Dame dragon wallpaper to replace the one I previously had on my website, so that it would match my new look perfectly. Since not all of you pay a visit to my website, here is my new baby…

I did downloaded it on my computer screen and it looks great!

The warm orange/copper colours brighten my gloomy winter days…

Thanks to my blog/website designer, marti garaughty, who once again hit the bull’s eye with his awesome artwork!

MY HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY

I really want to thank my community of readers (without them, this blog would not be what it is today) and I thought it would be a great idea to give them the opportunity to win something original… This is why I chose to give away a marti garaughty’s signature edition giclée print** : a value of more than $100 US (insurance, handling and shipping included).

** Each signature edition giclée print is hand-signed by marti and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

This is a sample of marti’s signature edition giclée prints based on his paintings…

Color is a Language #16

The Music of Geometry #1

Of course, I was not going to make it that easy for you… although it will not be an exhausting exercise either!… All you have to do to enter the contest is to follow these three steps:

• Click here and pick your favourite signature edition giclée print and… while you will be there, take a few minutes to peruse marti’s site… it is worth the detour! Then come back to this post…
• Browse the category jeux linguistiques and, once you will have made up your mind, take the test/quiz of your choice (for the ones who regularly play, there will be a few more tests to come before the end of this contest).
• When you will be done, leave a comment (in the comments section of the test, not on this post) with your score and the title of your favourite print. If you ever experience difficulty posting your comment on the post of the test you took, click here!

Entries will be accepted from December 1, 0h00, until December 14, 23h59 ET…

The winner will be chosen randomly by random.org (low or high scores will make no difference! this part is for fun only!) and notified by email within a week following the contest. Therefore make sure that you provide me with a valid email address, otherwise your entry will be automatically rejected!

Attention Bloggers!

If you mention about this giveaway on your blog, linking to this post, it will count as a second entry (if you take a test)!… If your knowledge of French does not allow you to take one of my tests, it will count as one entry… but, if it is the case, please leave a comment in the comments section of this post with the title of your favourite print.

Je souhaite bonne chance à tous les participants!!!

Special thanks to marti garaughty who provided me with (and let me use) two mini-photos of his signature edition giclée prints…
