Reading the words

It feels like old times: There is a bag full of NaMoPaiMo prizes sitting by front door. 

But also, it feels like old times: I am frustrated.

My life is hard right now, and I am definitely lacking some of my usual patience, but it needs to be said. If someone offers to give items A, B and C away for free, people should take that for what it is and not request items X, Y and Z. Also, if the giveaway is only for registered entrants of a specific event, people who are not registered entrants of that event probably should not request items.

The winners of the pastel book, broken things and coloring books have been notified. As for the rest, it is what it is. There are are no hard feelings, I'm not holding grudges and no apologies are necessary. I am still committed to giving away the items in the NaMo box, but should I do it via free blog raffle again, please - for all of our sakes - don't just look at the pictures. Take a moment, and read the post.

And with that, let's move on to the next giveaway!

This is a hard one and is open to everyone, not just NaMoPaiMo entrants. While I was cleaning my studio, I came across two horseless tails. The first person who can identify who they belong to (hint: both the tail-less horses have appeared on my blog at some point in last sixteen years) will receive a prize from my personal stash. This will probably be a Santana medallion, but I reserve the right to change my mind, depending on who wins.

Good luck and thank you for reading all the words!
