200,000. That number boggles my mind. 200,000 days is equal to 547 years. 200,000 miles is equal to 7,633 marathons. 200,000 calories is equal to 1,000 donuts. And 200,000 visits is equal to 1 very grateful and happy man.
Today my blog counter passed that mind-boggling number. So to celebrate my 200,000 hit and to anticipate the opening of The Book Guild (more info on The Guild soon I promise), I am having a book giveaway. Five different people will each win one of the following books:
Journal Spilling: Mixed-Media Techniques for Free Expression

Fingers crossed and hoping that the luck of the Irish is with me!
Hi Seth,
I just dropped by after visiting
Diana Trout's Blog.
I wanted to congratulate you on your milestone, WOW!!! Also a hearty handshake on your writing gig!
"Print Making and Mixed Media" would be a fabulous book to add to my collection!! Thank you for the opportunity. Susan
Just now noted that I need to give you my e-mail address--oops. It is jeffnbeckyp at msn dot com.
So inspired by the artwork I am enjoying on your blog and I am truly touched by your poem, "After the Storm." Thank you!
P.S. AND, I forgot to leave my book choice! Sigh.
I would love to be entered for the "Cover to Cover" book.
Congrats on that milestone, Seth! :)
Thanks for the chance to win one of these books -- and what a difficult choice at that... I think "Journal Spilling: Mixed-Media Techniques for Free Expression" by Diana Trout would be first choice, even though all of them sound very interesting.
Happy creating,
Birgit

Congrats on 200,000, Seth. It boggles the mind but not where you are concerned really. I can see it with you. I'd love to win the "Printmaking + Mixed Media: simple techniques and projects for paper and fabric" by Dorit Elisha. Thanks for the offer. What a generous guy you are.

Congrats, Seth!! My favourite would be "Journal Spilling" as more journaling is on my to do list right now!
Congrats Seth, what an amazing accomplishment!!!
Journal Spilling is my favorite of the 5, but all of them look great!
Wow Seth, Quite a number to reach! Congratulations. Your so generous to give away 5 books. It is so hard to chose a title as they are all so interesting looking. I will pick Dorit Elisha's one on Print making. It is something I have been wanting to know more about.
Cheers
Patti Sandham
Amazing--200,000! Congratulations and wishes for many, many more!
Any of the books would be a very welcome addition to my art and craft library, but
Cover to Cover: Creative Techniques for Making Beautiful Books, Journals & Albums by Shereen LaPlantz especially!
It's no surprise to any of us that you are so popular Seth! Please may I put my name down for the Shereen LaPlantz book. Thanks for doing this.
Seth I would love to have the printmaking and mixed media book. Thanks for the book club
congratulations, seth! what a big, beautiful milestone. and thank you for such a tremendously generous give-away and of course for your amazing posts and wonderful inspiration you've given so many of us for so long. you said "pick ONE" so i've been sitting here for forever and a half trying to do so. the first, fourth and fifth are on my amazon wishlist, but i think i'd have to chose "what it is" if i were to be the super luckiest girl in the world when you chose.
Heartfelt congratulations! Of course the reason you reached this milestone is YOUR BLOG IS GREAT!!! And YOU are great! This will be so interesting to see the books that people love best.

I thought I had left a comment but didn't see it so here is a new/nother one, lol. Would love the printmaking book if I was so lucky. You have such awesome group building ideas. I am glad I found your blog however that happened. From an old and rural artist here.
Congratulations on your accomplishment, Seth. I'd give Cover to Cover a very good home! :D :D
All of the books look intriguing, but if I had to choose one, "Cover to Cover" would be my first choice.
Congrats on your achievements!

It looks like you've flushed the shy ones out into the open, Seth. So happy to see all these participants! During these tough times, anything we can do to lift each other's spirits, share inspiration and promote the work of our fellow artists is a joy. Speaking of fellow artists, would you welcome suggestions of possible books to review?
Please enter me for Dorit's printmaking book and I'll be back on Sundays with my green tea latte and peanut butter toast. Can't wait!

Congratulations!! You've definately been an inspiration to me! Please enter me for JOURNAL SPILLING. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I know what you mean by that mind boggling number, I was shocked last week to realize mine had gone past 200,000 myself, and even MORE surprised when I contacted the counter customer service to find out that it wasn't wrong (where do these people come from, and how lucky are we that they keep coming!?!?!)
I want all of the books, but if I can only have one....then I want this one... Cover To Cover: Creative Techniques For Making Beautiful Books, Journals & Albums
