Hello Guys & Gals!
Since my October Etsy give away was such a hit, I figured I would continue the fun through the holiday season! Get ready for more chances to win and even more amazing prizes up for grabs...
Every Wednesday, starting today (November 19, 2014) through December 24, 2014, I will be announcing new prizes which will be up for grabs! The winners of these prizes will be picked at random and announced here on this blog on December 31, 2014 (New Years Eve) at 10 pm. There will be a total of 6 prizes up for grabs-so that will be 6 chances to win some great prizes!
Ready for the first prize up for grabs?
Thanks to Ideal Event Management, the first name picked at random (On Dec. 31, 2014 at 10pm) will win a pair of (2) tickets to Ideal's Waverly Hills Sanatorium event in May 2015. The winner (and a friend of their choice) will get to investigate Waverly Hills with myself, Steve and Tango along with other event attendees. These tickets will cover free entry to the event (does not cover travel, hotel, food, etc.)
Of all the locations I have ever been to, Waverly Hills is my top pick for locations in the United States. While I was there I witnessed a fast, rolling, ball of light (which Dustin and I named, "the ghost skunk") in the body chute, along with hearing footsteps, whispering and seeing flashes of light.
Throughout the building we experienced unexplainable shadowy figures and the sound of footsteps that followed us from the 4th floor down to the 2nd floor. It is hands down, one of the strangest places I have ever investigated and I look forward to meeting the winner of this prize in May 2015!
Again-BIG thank you to Ideal Event Management for offering up two tickets to give away!
The second prize up for grabs?
One (1) limited, signed 8X10 paper print of my painting, "The Abandoned Washroom".
The original painting was inspired by a photo I took at Fort Wayne in Detroit. In one of the buildings, there was an old footed bathtub that was missing one foot. The sun was setting, which left the window looking like it was glowing and I really liked the reflection of the light that played off the surfaces of the room. The painting was done with only blue, red, white and black. Between the angle of the composition, angle of the broken tub, the reflecting light and colors-the painting has a real moody feel.
The third prize up for grabs...
Interested in your family history but overwhelmed by the process? Have no idea how to begin?
The third person picked will win 1 Genelaogy 101 workshop... taught by me! I run my workshops over Skype and they run about an hour and a half long.
Genealogy 101 is a class for those interested in genealogy who would like to get started but have no prior experience. I will cover the importance of researching your family's roots, how to gather the information needed to get started and cover some useful tools genealogists use to organize the information they have gathered.
If you are picked for this prize, we will work together to schedule a date and time that works best. You can learn more about my workshops and genealogy services here: Key to Your Tree
The fourth prize up for grabs...
Ready for a lil Aussie care package? The fourth person picked will receive a package full of some of my favorite Australian sweets! Along with my favorites will be some that are common Australian staples, a signed postcard and Australian souvenir... If you have a sweet tooth and you're up for a little mystery prize-this will be a fun one!
The fifth prize up for grabs?
The fifth person to be picked at random will win one (1) "Ghost's don't Scare Me... People Do..." hoodie! If your name gets selected for this prize I will contact you for your desired size.
The 6th and final prize up for grabs?
The 6th person picked at random will win an original piece of artwork (not yet created) made by yours truly! This piece will not be a print-it will be a signed, original piece done in either pencil, charcoal, ink, watercolor or pastel and will consist of a still life. If you are the winner of this prize, the piece will be created and mailed to you as soon as it is finished (will be mailed out in February from either Australia or the U.S.A.).
So, how do you qualify for a chance to win?
Buy at least one item from my Ebay shop between November 19, 2014 and December 31, 2014 (before the 10pm deadline) and your name will be entered for chances to win on all 6 prizes up for grabs. Along with every purchase I will include a free signed postcard which will look like the photo below-signed, "Happy Holidays! All The Best, Kris Williams".
