Fifth Blogaversary ~ Prizes: Illuminated Work + craft die

CANDY IS CLOSED  - draw see here

Hullo everyone - some exciting news today!! 
It is 01.11.15, and if you dont know what that means???
 
I started my blog on 01.11.10 
(yes, it is a palindrome, ie reads backwards and frontwards the same
.. so wont forget it!)
It is this blog's FIFTH Anniversary!
THIS CANDY WILL POST OVERSEAS! 
As I have so many Wonderful Encouragers, who have joined and encourage me during the years on my blog by leaving wonderfully cheering and helpful comments
~ I want to do a BIG "THANK YOU" with a two pieces of candy~
First one is a small (10 X 8cm) framed Illuminated text, it can hang or is self-standing, too.
So this a watercolour and gouache, with 23carat gold leaf illuminated work, with flat gold leaf. Because this frame has no mount you cant do the raised gold leaf, as I like to do.

This verse is the key to our whole lives - if we get this right then we are on the right path.
"We walk by faith, not by sight." II Corinthians 5:7
The key is the word in gold, "faith", if our faith is in the wrong thing, then our feet are on the wrong path.
May our faith be in the One Who never fails, Who said "I am the Way, the Truth and the LIFE", the dear LORD Jesus Christ.
A crafty prize is also on offer of Joanna Sheen Signature die called Holly berries SD001
To enter:
1. You must have joined my blog and become one of my Wonderful Encouragers!
  This is the whole point - it is a THANK YOU to You, those faithful ones! 
New Encouragers are more than welcome :D if you are of the genuine variety!

2. If you are able to, I would appreciate if you could put a link of this candy on your blog's sidebar. Those who take the time to do this, please let me know, as you will get two entries in the candy,  as an extra thank you!

3. Please leave a comment below to say you would like to take part.
If you want the text - put "text" at the end of your comment.
If you want the die - please put " craft die" at the end.
If you want either , please put "either" at the end of your comment.

Is that all too hard? I hope not! I will do a short post later in the week showing the making of the text too.
The candy will be drawn, all being well on 1.12.15, Australian time. 

I will post overseas, I chose light things for that very purpose.

If you're not sure you have joined this blog, (as I forget which ones have joined) just try and join - Google wont let you join twice, this saves you searching.

Thanks so much everyone for popping over for a peek and chat, and most of all may God bless you all for being such WONDERFUL ENCOURAGERS!!
  I really appreciate you all, 
Shaz in Oz.x

    Thanks Shaz for your lovely comment. I am glad you saw Neet and I together!
    Congratulations on your Blogaversary. Love your artwork and prize but I won't add my name as it should go to someone else who will appreciate and use it as I don't do papercrafting now with my renewed love of fabric projects.
    Off to the Lake District tomorrow and hoping the leaves are still showing their Autumn glory.
    Love Jo x

    Hi Shaz,
    Congratulations on your fifth anniversary! Interesting way to remember it too. Your calligraphy work is beautiful. I love the W with all the detail that it has.

    I'd like you to put my name in for the art please.

    Hugs,
    Kay

    Congratulations on five years Shaz! What a great way to remember when you began. :-). Love the verse you've chosen as your giveaway. Since I don't do paper craft the prize should go to someone who will use it, but I didn't want to miss congratulating you on your blogaversary. Many blessings my friend, and I thank you for your wonderful comments on my blog. Isn't it wonderful that although we live on opposite sides of this huge world, we share the same Savior and we will meet someday and praise Him forever together with all of our brothers and sisters. Hallelujah and Amen!
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    Wow dear friend! What a joy! We have had the blessing of getting to know you through this blog, something for which I know we're all thankful! You are so generous and both your giveaways are so nice! I have a weakness for die cuts so I guess I'll have to go for the craft dies! Thanks so much! You have a blessed soul and I am so glad to have the chance to know you! Hugs, Gracie.

    Hi from the UK, Shaz,
    It's a nice November morning this morning, following an early pre-dawn fog, the sun is now shining and the sky is a brilliant blue, although there's a distinct nip in the air. If you're a rugby fan, Shaz, I'm sorry the All Blacks won the world cup. I usually follow footy (go Rabbitohs) but I'll make an exception for the boys in black lol.
    What a brilliant thing for you to have reached your fifth anniversary, well done, you :). How kind of you to share the love with a prize draw. Sadly I don't have a blog to share the details with but I would still love to take part (either).

    HI Shaz, congratulations on your five years of blogging. You have reminded me to check out how long I've been blogging and I find it is just over five years, September, so, my friend, we started blogging within weeks of each other. Hasn't it been fun :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

    The text is so true and beautiful, it's a bliss to look at, so I would say art. I will put this on my blog too.
