Paint me a picture & win!

That creepy kid from The Sixth Sense must be sending me lucky vibes because I’ve won another Pay It Forward contest! Since I just held one of my own (your packages have been mailed folks!) I wanted to spice things up a bit. Instead of just commenting and hoping I draw your name on one of the delightfully-colored post-its I own, I’m going to make you work for your prize!

I want to see your mad paint skillz. The last few weeks I have painted a purdy picture to go with my vending machine woes or ridiculous gym tales. I’d like to see a picture that goes along with one of your blog tales. If you don’t have a story that could easily benefit from a picture, make something up. Draw the Paint version of yourself. Imagine what it would be like if you had to balance on a giant exercise ball while lifting weights.

It does not have to be perfect. I don’t expect anyone to channel Monet or van Gogh. Just be creative and have fun. Oh, and uh, don’t draw a stick figure flippin’ me the bird.

I will give you until Saturday night to get your photo to me. You can email me at freeandflawed [at] gmail [dot] com (unless you have my other email address!) I will select my three favorites and send those bloggers a Target gift card and maybe another little treat.

Mac users, I heard once upon a time that you do not have Paint on your computers. Is there another program you could use to create a little something-something? If not, to be fair, I might need to rethink this contest. Don’t rain on my parade!

Update: Ah ha! So there is no Paint on Macs; however, a littler birdy told me about Paintbrush. It’s a free download for Mac users who would like to participate. It’s very much like Paint.
