A Giveaway and True Center Strikes Twice!

Good Morning you ladies and loves, magic makers and story weavers!  I'm here to tell you that registration is officially open for the Fall Session of True Center!  Summer session has wrapped up after six weeks of amazingness.  I tell you true: the women who joined with me over summer inspired me to no end with their ideas, inspirations, the way they turned thoughts into images and images into their own art, and the way they supported and encouraged one another.  They are and were Brilliant.  Capitol "B."  And due to multiple, multiple requests, I've already begun work on True Center Part Two, coming in 2014!

I've added a few elements in for Fall: two interview videos with a couple of my very favorite fem-creatrixies, women who continually make my jaw drop with the art they create, as well as a private Flickr photo sharing group.   We already have a few ladies signed up and I can tell this session is going hold even more magic (if such a thing is possible)!  You can read more about the course right here - including what some of the women from the Summer session are saying - and if you're ready for a Fall that will ignite your creative spirit, you can sign up either right here on the website or here in the etsy shop.

- NOW -

Because it is my joy to gift in celebration, because you lift me up and support me every single day, because I love to offer the work of my hands and heart, I have a little giveaway for you!  This gorgeous, potent slice of Nacozari Turquoise (seen below, resting on my index finger) will be set into one of my Cloud Gatherer rings, custom made for one lucky soul (and additional images of past, sold Cloud Gatherer rings can be seen below that).  My own Cloud Gatherer ring has hardly left my finger since she was set and polished, and I tell you true, more than once I've had some lovely stranger try to buy her off my hand!  

All you need to do to enter the giveaway is leave me a comment right here on the blog!  Tell me one beautiful thing you experienced this week, the name of the last book you read, how you're planning to take advantage of the weekend, anything at all, and you're entered. 

Now, for those who would like to bulk up their chances, here's how: Every time you share True Center the Fall Session link to either the etsy listing or webpage on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, or any other social media of choice, leave me one additional comment.  For my ladies who are True Center Summer Session Alumni, AND for those signed up for the Fall session, leave me a comment saying hello and I'll give you TWO additional entries.

The Giveaway opens right now and closes at midnight on Monday September 2nd.  I'll announce the winner here on the blog come morning Tuesday September 3rd! 

Best of Luck to you!
