LIVE SIMPLY PRINT: Kellie!

Kellie's comment was:

Catina Jane’s art is so amazing. I found it through a friend, @trishybee; it’s so vivid and inspiring! I think my favorite is “I Am Still One” though “You Are Enough” is a very close second. I’ve also tweeted the contest.

Enjoy your new art Kellie!

NECKLACE: Nova!

Nova commented:

I really like the Live Simply one that you posted a picture of. It is a beautiful reminder to all to live simply.

Catina Jane Arts Giveaway

*Squeeeeeeeel* Isn't it adorable? I've loved Catina's art from the moment I set eyes on it YEARS ago. It's so quirky and delicious...and the colors are crazy vibrant. Catina and I have been online friends for as long as I can remember...her beautiful dreads played a big part in my decision to dread my own hair...and one of her pieces of art has graced the walls of nearly all of our homes.

She also makes wonderfully unique jewelry...

And joy of all joys...both of these pieces are up for grabs! I will choose 2 different winners...the first drawing will be for the art, and the second for the necklace. I will take entries for the giveaway through 12:00 CST on Monday, May 17.

To enter:

  • Check out Catina Jane's website and Etsy store and let me know what your favorite piece is.
  • Facebook or Twitter for an additional entry: I just entered the Catina Jane Arts Giveaway on Walk Slowly, Live Wildly...check it out! http://bit.ly/cCrB7m
  • Blog on your own blog for yet another entry.

Be sure to put each entry on a new comment below...I choose the winner by comment number, so if you put them all in one comment, it only counts once. :)

Catina is offering FREE SHIPPING to my blog readers as well...and she has just stocked her store with tons of beautiful new art and jewelry! Just enter the words "Walk Slowly" in the comments for your order. Be sure to take advantage of this offer, it will expire on May 20, 2010.

Hoop City Online Hooping Class WINNER...

And the Hoop City Giveaway winner is...

"Wildish Woman" from High on Butterfly Wings! Congratulations...you will LOVE your online hoop classes. I've been having such fun downloading the different lessons and connecting with other hoopers out there. I can't wait to finish these classes so I can move on to the next one! Yes, I'm addicted ;-)

The thing that I like best is that I can work through the classes completely at my own pace and that I can download the videos to my computer and/or iPhone and have them with me wherever I'm hooping! These takes away the annoyance of streaming if your connection is slow.

I've checked out another online hoop class, but SaFire's classes are hands down the most thorough, high quality (video quality and quality of content) that I've come across. She is highly active on the boards and gives great feedback. If you are considering an online hooping class, don't hesitate at all. It's awesome!

The best part is that she covers all of the "hooping secrets" that the free YouTube tutorials miss out on...things like flow and combination building, hand placement, etc. I feel like my knowledge of hooping in general is exponentially higher after being in her classes.

Go check it out...and have fun hooping!
