The raffle that became a celebration

Intro

Last Monday’s Grand Prize Draw was quite memorable. A whopping 10% of our monthly site visitors entered, which in itself is interesting and also a great compliment.

Then we had three winners who discovered they’d won one of our grand prizes.
Three stories. Three joyful winners.

And you? You helped make it happen. Whether you entered, shared, or just watched, you were part of the moment.

You in the Experience:

We like to think it’s a bit more than a raffle. It’s a doorway into Linda’s glass art world. So every entry mattered. Every click, every share, every glance at a sketch was a choice to step closer to art. You chose to be part of something rare. And the reactions we received were awesome.

One participant said:

"I didn’t just enter. I became part of the art. I felt it around me."

Another wrote:

"Seeing the piece evolve from sketches to finished glass felt like being in the studio with Linda herself."

And that’s exactly what it’s all about. Not just a prize. An experience as well. And art is nothing without the experience.

The Moments We Loved:

You shared. Friends invited friends, stories spread quietly, in a beautiful way. One entrant noted:
"I invited a friend to join the draw, and suddenly we were talking about art for hours. It became a shared experience."

You discovered. First-time entrants explored also explored our quizzes and sketches, uncovering what really moves them, which is colour, light, and form in glass. A new participant wrote:
"I didn’t know I loved glass art until I saw the sketches. Now I can’t stop thinking about it."

You celebrated. Collectors, artists, first-timers. You all showed up with curiosity, excitement, and did so joyfully. Another comment:
"Being part of this draw made me feel like I belonged to a small, special circle of people who appreciate beauty."

And from a winner:

“OMG!  No way did I win!  I never win anything!  Is this for real?  
Just in case this is for real, I would still love Gardening."

Every entry tells a story. We could fill pages with the amount of comments we received.

Every share spreads it further. You aren’t just watching art. You’re living it, being part of it.

Another winner said:

"Winning was wonderful. But the updates, the process, seeing the piece take shape was something to remember."

And again:

"Even if I hadn’t won, I’d still feel lucky to have been part of this. It was rare and special."

Looking Ahead:

The next draw is coming in the New Year. It’ll be about you again. About discovery. About delight. About experiencing art. One previous winner summed it up:

"Winning was wonderful but the process, the sketches, the anticipation all made it unforgettable."

Keep exploring, keep sharing, and keep enjoying the colours and the light, every curve of perfectly formed glass, every pulse of imagination.

Because in the end, it’s not just about art. It’s the experience you help create.
