How do I wrap my head around the adventure of a lifetime?
And how do I even begin to express my thanks to each and every one of you?
Last week the counter on my blog passed 500,000. Half a million hits. I don't even know how to integrate that number. It truly boggles my mind. The Altered Page has become all that I dared hope it would. And more. All of you -- your visits, your comments, your emails, your blogs, and your support -- have become as important to me as my paint.
I sometimes wonder what my life in art would be like today without all that the Internet has offered. It has provided me with a community, an education, a forum, and an outlet. It has offered me opportunities to share and sell my art. It has given me a voice. It has opened doors which I have happily and eagerly walked through. I am a broken record when I say that I would not be the artist I am today without my blog. And without all of you!
Those of you who know me, know how focused and single-minded I can be when I have a goal that I am passionate about. And I have worked very hard to create the world of The Altered Page. But I can honestly say that every bit of effort and time that I have dedicated to this has been more than worth it. And I am beyond excited thinking about the ideas I have for future projects and all the amazing experiences that have yet to unfold.
2012 has been and continues to be a dream year for me. It has been a year of firsts, some of which have yet to even be announced. These have included my first book and my first set of workshop DVDs. And as a small token of thanks to you, I would like to offer you a gift. In blog-speak that translates to a giveaway.
To be eligible, all you need to do is leave a comment to this post AND make sure that I have a way of contacting you -- Blogger often doesn't automatically post the emails of commenters. Comments will be closed at the end of day on Monday, July 9th.
Two people will win and the prizes are two bundles, each of which will include signed copies of:
The Pulse of Mixed Media: Secrets and Passions of 100 Artists Revealed
Easy Mixed Media Surface Techniques
Easy Mixed Media Techniques for the Art Journal
Good luck to everybody and thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

What a wonderful achievement - 500,000 - a testament to your talent and a lot of hard work.
I have come across so many interesting artists, many of them in my new country, Australia. I think it's the sharing quality of your blog that makes it so special.
congratulations & thank you for being so generous.
Seth - Congrats on such a significant milestone! That old saying, "If you build it, they (we) will come." is so true! Wishing you continued success.
Seth----goes to show that taking your boat to the horizon doesn't mean you'll fall off! Have a blast, then off to a new adventure!
Seth you have opened my world to so many techniques and thought processes. Your insights and choice of art seem to come at the exact moment I need it. Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity. Vicki
Seth, I have admired your work since I bought a copy of The Pulse many many years ago. I will never forget that you emailed and told me that it only consisted of text, just to make sure that I would not be disappointed. I loved it and still love reading it. I recently bought a copy of your new book. Perfect! And I will be buying the DVD's! Can't wait! Thanx for all that you do.
My email is busesrkool(at)yahoo(dot)com

I've had all kinds of internet and computer problems, so I even missed out on seeing I made the Still Life segment on Sunday. Had I been able to, I would have touted it, as well as your 500,000 hits.
I agree that you are the best of the best. I've been making mixed media for nearly nine years, and I am such a novice compared to you and what you have managed to accomplish over these past few years. I'm really impressed. You are my hero!!
As a result, I would love to win your giveaway. It's probably the only way I will ever be able to meet you and put my hands on these wonderful tutorials. All I can say is, it would be a thrill to own these DVDs and the book. (Please contact me via the cox account WHEN I win [grin]).
Huge congratulations and thank for this terrific opportunity. Annette
Congratulations Seth!! You give so much to everyone. Thanks for all you do!

Seth, I am overjoyed at your success. I enjoyed meeting you in Bellevue, WA a couple months ago. I would love to own your DVD's. I got a taste of your process when you did a background demo and was pleasantly surprised to see you use many of the same techniques I use. Good luck in the future!
So happy that all of your focused-isms and single-mindedness is taking you where you want to go!
No one deserves the accolades more for all you've done for and with the art community. Crossing my fingers - and I know my blogger acct has my email...
Seth, And THANK YOU. I'm sure we all wonder what art life would be without your Blog....no surprise at the number of fans you have generated.Your blog is personal, creative and entertaining; not to mention the fact that it is a place every artist needs to stop by to gain info on what is spinning in the mixed media world. Congrats! I would be estactic to win your generous prize.
I love your work and your blog. Haven't been able to get your book yet so would love to win a copy. Keep at it!

Wow, that's quite a number of hits Seth!!! I have been off the computer (aaargghhh - when computers break down we notice how attached we are to that machine, isn't it?) but back online full force now and just in time to congratulate you! I would certainly love to win your package... count me in! - Oh, and I 'see' you next Wednesday ;)
Seth, you deserve every bit of success you've achieved. you are proof that hard work and perseverance really do pay off. Can you come and talk to my students about that? They get really tired of hearing me say it...
Count me in here at Number 166 in the comment line...that is if I hit the send button in time (very unlikely as I am a long-winded gal as you know! HA!). Seth, you are a gem, a peach, an educator, a friend, a thinker, a seer, an artist, an enabler and buckets more art friend! You did for me what you talk about the internet doing for you...so thanks for that. In my 'speak' I just mean that you opened my eyes and now I feel capable. Like I said, you are an enabler. Have a tremendously splendid Sunday in New York. I'm having one of those in Vancouver, Canada. *smiles* Norma
Congratulations, Seth, and thanks for what you share with us as well as a chance to win some great books!
I am new to the Altered Page but I find it so interesting that I will be hanging around!
You are so busy my head could spin! But I know your two feet are firmly on the ground, and your head is down looking for rusty items....
Congrats Seth. Your blog is so unique. I follow constantly. Thanks for taking me to such unusual places.
I have a feeling I am going to win.
I love your blog, thank you very much

What a great awe inspiring achievment! And I can see how you reached half a million hits when you can achieve 173 comments to one posting- in 4 days time! It's really a privilege to be in this inspiring community of mixed media artists.
Seth, you deserve all of the wonderful things coming your way as you have always been so generous in giving a hand up to those of us who are just beginning the journey. Half a million thank you's to you!
I must be the 500,000th comment ;) Here's to you Seth! I am SO thrilled that I found your blog way back when. You have made the online community come alive for me!
Being a blogger only since this year, I have only begun to catch up with all the wonderful blogs out there, and yours is way up at the top! Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations! Love hearing the joy in your words at the gratitude of those who follow your blog. Doing art is a joy to our soul to give as a gift for others to enjoy. Keep giving joy away through your gift of art! Nancy G
Wow Seth, 500,000 is indeed a grand number of hits! You have made that happen! All your hard work that has gone into this blog and all you do has brought that many people to see what it is you create and offer other artists! I am happy for you! (If I were a family member I'd say I was proud of you too! ;-)
I am also excited for all you have created this year, the books, the dvds, the workshops, the collaborations, the interviews, the art shows in galleries, the book talks all over the country, my goodness, your list just seems endless. I know I am leaving a lot out.
I also feel that my blog and all the blogger friends I have made have made me the artist I am today. No doubt about it. It's an awesome thing to have and to continue experienc(ing).
Bravo to you, kudos to you, and I just see more and more years ahead of greater numbers and more exciting endeavors and creations pouring forth from your font!
Your cup runnith over with wonderful ART and goodness!
I am happy to have become one of your multitudes of blog friends.
Looks like I made just in time (although we already have Tuesday). Time difference can be a good thing.
Congratulations and thank you for the opportunity.

I think the encouragement and support you've given to other artists is starting to come to you :)
Thanks for the chance to win what looks like a fantastic bundle!

Congrats and thanks for the chance to win your goodies. I look forward to following along in the next 500,000.
Wow, Seth
All I did was blink and there were several posts I missed here! Truly, summer is flying by fast!
YOU have been such an inspiration to ALL OF US!!! The praise goes both directions~
I already won your book 'The Pulse' From Trudi of 'Two Dresses' but I would absolutely LUVVV to win one of your DVD's in the collage textures.
I don't know when your giveaway date ends, so I hope I am still allowed a chance. But, you know, it's not really about winning anything (I seem to be on a roll lately!) it is the comradeship of kindred mixed media artists is what it's all about. The more the merrier!
Cheers! For a fabulous year!
