It's been the longest time since I've had a giveaway. :)
Sometimes life just gets in the way...the painting and sculpting, the commissions and shows and auctions, the email and errands, the cooking and cleaning. Craziness around here on a daily basis...
So I'm here to remedy that with this humble little trinket box. It's just 3" x 3" x 3", but perfect for a few teabags or maybe some catnip....or rings, or paperclips, or whatever tiny treasures you may want to keep in it.
I love the tiny mice running around the edge, and the little message inside. They make me smile. :)
All you have to do is leave a comment here about something that makes you smile, and you'll be entered in the drawing. If you follow my blog, you'll be entered twice. And if you have a blog and give this little giveaway a mention, I'll make it three times. :)And if you don't have a blog which links to your post, be sure to leave me your email so I have a way to get in touch with you.:)
Names will be tossed in the hat one week from today (Monday, August 24th) at 9PM eastern, and I'll announce the winner. (Oh, and I'm fine with international entries!)
Thanks for playing!
♥ Carolee
My four kitties make me smile. Every day, several times a day. I have one tuxedo who's face is black, except for a little white chin. Your black cats make me think of her.

Your black kitty box reminds us of our own cat Lucy - and certainly elicited a smile! Very nice work.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am thinking about what makes me smile... well, I know one thing for sure - your work is pretty high on that list!
ReplyDeleteI could use this kitty cat trinket box - wink, wink, nudge, nudge... Ashes would love to keep catnip in it :)

ReplyDelete1. What makes me smile..Is how people you never have met, but have a common interest with can make you SMILE. How looking at their art, reading their posts. Receiving posts with encouragement, and giving the same can make Everyone Smile. So that is what makes me smile.

ReplyDeleteWhat makes me smile is seeing my 10 month old granddaughter get so much enjoyment from my own cats. I'd love to win the box for her as a keepsake for her first birthday which is 9/29/09

ReplyDeleteYour work in my home makes me smile every day. Your artistic kitties remind me so much of my own kitties and their crazy antics. And you have totally recreated the likenesses of my 3 cats and my dog in the tea chest and garden sign. I'm so happy to have met you through ebay. Perhaps one day it will be in person. Meanwhile I am so lucky to have these pieces to enjoy. Barbara on Camano

ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL box, Carolee!! Hope our Spot grows up to be so pretty (she's teeny tiny all black, golden eyes and one tiny white spot on her chest)
ReplyDeleteLove the Kitty box! Looks like my black cat Binks. What makes me smile is the way Binks accepts my Chihuahua as another cat. He licks her head and cleans her ears.

Linda
Walking through my studio door every morning and seeing the white faces of unpainted misfit characters lining my desk...oh the possibilities.
ReplyDeleteAlso imagining that I won your giveaway really makes me smile :}
Well, for starters, your artwork has been making me smile for a long time now. A sign that says there is no place like home hanging by my front door makes me smile....and we know who painted it. My black cat, Pixie makes me smile and often laugh out loud with her antics. There is something in every season that makes me smile, and just the word Halloween brings a smile to my face. I could go on and on, but I will stop here.
ReplyDelete♥, Susan
What a wonderful blog and super giveaway! I'm glad I was directed your way!

Hi Carolee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little box for your giveaway.
I am now one of your followers, I have posted a link about your giveaway on my Blog, and I am about to tell you something that makes me smile. The thought of Fall and all its joys ~ crisp air, pumpkins, spice smells, Halloween, colorful leaves, and knowing that Thanksgiving and Christmas are very near.
Your Blog is wonderful and your art is stunning. I know I will enjoy my future visits.
Something that makes me smile is my children and anything Halloweenish. Many Blessings to you.

What makes me smile? My cats, every lovely one of them (and the black cat on the box looks like my Theo, who died last year). Watching the birds eat from the plethora of feeders in the side yard while I have my morning tea. The squirrels hanging upside down to eat from those same feeders. My brown and white goat, Jesse, when he comes up to eat from my hand and be petted. William the sheep, when he does the same . . .
ReplyDeleteNot a follower yet, but I will be as soon as I post this. And I'll link from my blog, too!
Wow! What a giveaway! Love the box and hope I win! Ha! Things that make me smile...watching my oldest son's excitment as he made the high school golf team as a freshman...watching my youngest son play in too-many-to-count travel baseball tournaments...listening to my husband tell about the crazy things he sees during his work day. :-)
ReplyDeleteWill also include this on my blog.
Your "eek" made me smile! I love surprises!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your pretty box makes me smile and getting back into creating Halloween makes me smile. Will put this on my blog.

ReplyDeleteMy kitty makes me smile! LOL and I noticed that there are tons of people responding that feel the same.... kitty lovers unite! GIGGLE
ReplyDeleteCarolee, I just came in from Facebook to see the wonderful gift that you are giving. What makes me smile is my child, my miracle child that I have been blessed with.He is the light of my entire life. I smile because I sculpt and am a fellow artist! I smile too, because I am a witch and teaching the ways of the Earth to my son, who is so willing to learn it all. Samhain (Halloween) IS the BEST holiday ever and I always look forward to it every year, so it makes me smile also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win your fantastic art!
~Heather Leigh~ (from facebook where I am adding a line to pass this on since I don't have a blog and will twitter it too even tho I know it doesn't count as extra entries but instead I would love to spread the love on your art anyhow)

ReplyDeletehilly77@comcast.net
Carolee, your work is wonderful! I have just come upon it by looking at Audrey's blog http://The Magic, Miracles and Joy of an Artist.com
ReplyDeleteI love the cat's eyes, you have great attention to detail!
Okay now, I will tell you what makes me smile, when I look at my paintings and see that they are so bright and colorful and finished, they just make me happy!
What makes me smile is this lovely trinket box. The kitty looks like the one I had growing up. I named him Tashi. He was a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Ok, so as hard as i try i can not get my blog to work with the photo!
ReplyDeleteBut I do have it on my blog.
I also follow you in Google Reader!
Anyway i adore the little box, it reminds me of my Cat "Mystic Slinky" she loves to sit on the narrow rail of the gazebo with her long tail wrapped around a post. I know she is thinking "if i fall my tail will save me"! Not!
After reading all the post I am sure the little box will find a loving home!
What a beautiful box. The pussy cat looks just like my old cat Rocky - I miss him :(
ReplyDeleteI'm going to link to you in the sidebar of my blog thank you for the chance to win :)
Humble? All of your art is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo -- what makes me smile? It's usually the little things. Let's take today... Spontanously I bought a bottle of soap bubbles and had so much fun in the garden in the evening, blowing bubbles into the sky. That really made me smile! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win one of your wonderful boxes. :)
Happy creating and lots of greetings from Munich,

ReplyDeleteHi Carolee,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cat box and I love the running mice around the edge too!:)
My cat is into clockwork mice at the moment he has destroyed five so far. He makes me smile when he throws the mouse up into the air and taps it with his paw to see if it will move!:)
I will put you on my blog list. Hope that is ok?
See you soon Jo.x

We bloggers must be feeling a "little needy", as we're all clamoring for your giveaway! I love your blog and just signed on as a follower...you're only the second blogger that has earned such status! And I LOVE Halloween! So, why, I have to wonder, have I never felt the need to add a cat to my list of loves? But the cat on the box tugged at my heartstrings and made me smile this a.m., so I'm happy that your kitty started my day off with a smile, even though I didn't give you a story to smile about! I'll try to figure out how to leave your giveaway note on my blog....I'm very new to this...

Seeing that I've completed a piece of artwork makes me smile and knowing that others enjoy seeing it makes my smile even bigger. It's that feeling of accomplishment when you've challenged yourself on a project and then succeeded. Just found your blog last night and joined up to follow you. Your work is amazingly beautiful. Where have I been hiding? Oh, probably in my studio! LOL I'm off to post a link on my blog for you!
ReplyDeleteThe biggest thing that makes me smile in the last few weeks is my brand new grandson, Alex. My first and probably my only grandchild. I never knew how wonderful it would be to be a Grandma.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful kitty cat:)
I see that everyone wants a new kitty! My 2 grandsons not only make me smile they make me belly laugh! and as I read the posts, it made me smile at how many of your followers have a kitty of their own that make them smile.

ReplyDeleteYour work is gorgeous and I love Halloween! My pets make me smile. I would love a chance to win this box in your drawing.
ReplyDeleteHi...I smile while watching my turkeys run /waddle to get out of their pen and head for my heirloom tomatoe patch.

ReplyDeleteI get so made when my children fight and quarrel, but looking at them sleeping soundly make me smile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. I love cats.
Many things make me smile! My old black kitty, Luna, not doing too well these days (she's 18) but still needs to come and have mama time each day.
ReplyDeleteLove your art!
Hmmn things that make me smile are my kids comments. Like today my 4 yr old said come and see what I look like in the mirror. I said I know what you look like I can see you everyday. He said but you don't know what I look like in a mirror, too funny. Please enter my name. I will follow your blog and post this giveaway to my blog also.
ReplyDeleteAll the beauty in art makes me smile. Artists that create beauty make me smile. Teaching a beginner and seeing their smile as they begin their creative journey makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteWell, I wasn't going to try for this because I know that as soon as I see your amazing work in person, I'm going to NEED another piece. And once you have TWO of something, you may as well make it THREE and a COLLECTION! And from there...well, it just never stops! Heh Heh!
ReplyDeleteBut my four furry children (cats) insisted that this would be the perfect box in which to store some of thier yum yum treats. And since thier fuzzy little hearts and paws are what truly makes me happy, I have to do it! :)
Hugs, Tamara - who does follow you (and drools over your work!) and is going to post about you on her blog right now. Because even if I don't win, others should know about your work! :)
The twinkle in the kitty's eye reminds me of my own Phoebe's twinkle. Sadly tho, I had to give her up for adoption almost 10 years ago, because it was just too difficult to move with her cross-country from WI to TN (& because she wasn't pleased that my future husband had entered our lives). She did find a good home though & I'm sure she's happy.
ReplyDeleteOh, so I don't forget, I follow your blog, too! :-)

Wowee, you're going to have a lot of names in that hat, Carolee! :-) One of the things that always makes me smile is coming up to my front door and seeing the beautiful Lunadoon house blessing sign you made for me. I truly feel the magic that makes a house a Home. Thank you for all you do!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this cat box.it would fit in so nicely with all of my other cat memrobillia...and of course my 7 kittys...you did a fantastic job on this..you captured the kitty so nicely...:) pick me..:)

ReplyDeleteMy sweet kitty when he rolls around on his back so I can rub his back and call him my handsome kitty. He's so darn cute! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, your artwork. It is beautiful.
Love your blog - and your artwork!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, what makes me smile...well, this always bring a smile to my face and warms my heart and soul - I'll try to make it short! I was a 'tom-boy' as a girl growing up, didn't like girlie things till about 20! Got married and had children. My 2nd, a little girl, was truely God-made, because she is nothing like me! She is as girlie girl, pink, lace and ruffles, mommy/baby dolls - the whole bit. Well, I have no idea what to do when she breaks out her Barbie's! I try to get her to play baseball with me but no way! So, what do I hear down the hall in a high pitch voice is my husband, who's as manly as a man can be - gruffy and 'car-dirty', playing Barbie's with her - helping her change their clothes and 'go to the mall'! He'll do it until his little girl says so, without complaint - and that's what makes me smile, the love my hubby has for his little girl!!!
Wow, Carolee, hope I'm not too late in entering your giveaway. The kitty box is really sweet! These little hoardings (one of those things that inspire me--please check out my blog for the details) make me smile.
