And the Winner Is…
Andrea Kobayashi!
There was a lot of excitement building at our house yesterday, mostly between my youngest daughter, Lily, and me.
Nine PM was the time I set for the Frosty Frieze Art Giveaway drawing. The names of all the lovely folks who came and commented on my blog in the past 28 days had been carefully written out on little slips of paper and placed into Lily’s brand-new Hanukkah hat. When the clock struck 9, Lily reached up into the hat that was held high above her head and plucked out the name of Ms. Andrea Kobayashi.
Andrea is an Australian-born artist who’s currently living in Yorii Machi, Saitama, Japan. She sells her beautiful paintings, drawings and prints on Etsy. She has a delightful blog called Dukaduka as well. As a card-carrying member of the “too much is never enough” school of art, I appreciate her ability to tell a story in such a simple and bold way. Here are a few samples of work she has available in her shop.

Way-cool birds!
So congratulations to Andrea, and a giant thank you to everyone else who participated! And to all the people celebrating myriad holidays this week, hope yours is blessed with peace and joy!
I’m off to wrap a huge pile of presents and decorate Christmas cookies with my kids.
