~*Fabulous Life~* Josie Baggley GIVEAWAY running until June 10th

Well hello dear peeps!

it's been a long time since I blogged and told -& I've been away from Happy Blogland for quite a while oops!-it wasn't intentional ,-I've been a busy woman! I was exhibiting my paintings at the Peoples Art 2011 Exhibition at St Stephens Green in Dublin a couple of weeks ago which was a howl ..we imbibed in wine and chocolate as we watched the people go by, drawing light relief through random critique & obiter dicta in relation to the diverse passing attire worn by the masses-overall quite acceptable to our tipsy disposition (that was a pretty long sentence-I'll put a full stop here now . Now let me see hmmmmm. what's been going on in my life; I was featured in The Irish Times Magazine.-(Rainey J Dillon).. :)a lovely lively journalist Tara Brady contacted me to ask me if I would be interested in an interview about my steampunk jewellery ,paintings & The Ferocious Mingle Market. Well eh ''YES ''I said . I thought that it was going to be a little 3" mention -which btw is cool enough with regards to the Times..anyway a photographer was sent out the following week to ..well to take photos of me;) The feature ended up being a FULL colour page WOW!! I was rather chuffed with that I can tell you. Since then I've been working on a bountiful number of commission pieces. This makes me happy :) :) :)

I was delighted to find out that my work is in the book 1000 Steampunk Creations by Barbe Saint John. Jo Archer, my dear friend from England & Kristin Hubick from the States also have their work published in this wonderful pictorial catalogue that you really consequently should buy lol ;

What else...emmmm... oh yes

I've also met a wonderful man. Yes I have. I've been seeing him for quite a few months now...just sayin'.

He flips my heart .

*~Since I've been away awhile I thought that it would be nice to re ignite my blog with a little giveaway. It'll be a surprise option...could be a pendant, a sketch or a wee box of supplies -your choice. All you have to do is leave a comment telling me what surprise option you choose should you be the name drawn from the hat on June 10th. Simples! :)~*

ART by CANACE is also throwing a Giveaway...one of her beautiful assemblages is up for grabs! Closes 21st June.

So there you go folks. Thanks for your emails of concern but you see I've been just peachy...no untoward reason for having been away so long. Life has been fab!

Rainey J
