Wanna win something, throw pens at TVs or roast starburst on metal coat hangers?

By William Lehman

The Arts and Design Channel has been running a few contests recently, some of which are still going on…

• Darren Rowse is running a Wallhog Contest over at Digital Photography School to win a Wallhog, check out how to participate in this contest here.
• William Lehman (me) over at Artist Hideout is running a guest post contest where readers both choose the prize (based on pageviews) and vote for the winner (in the comments). Minimum prize is $50 via paypal but, it’s still not out of the question to win a Nikon d40x dslr too… details here
• Noreen just finished up a contest, but is running a poll for her next contest, so check out Hankering for Yarn and vote for what you would like to win next time around.
• Cyndi Lavin, at Layers Upon Layers shares with us today where you can go to take part in a photography contest.
• Truly, Chloe said it right when she penned the title “Contests all over the place” earlier this month over at Tangled Thread

And since we don’t want to leave anyone out, you may also check out the following posts too.

• Heather just loves us all over here in A&D because we inspire her ;) But her post on Snapshot Writing Prompts is a great idea for someone wanting to get into journaling for the first time.
• Gray gets a little excited and ends up throwing his pen at the tv while contemplating What the Judges Should Have Said to Lacey & Sabra
• Tammy Powley shares a job listing for those who are in the publishing/marketing/crafting field that she found out about.
• Christine over at Mad Cropper has a recent project on making an embellished paper bag
• Mary Emma, from Quilting and Patchwork has been doing some reading lately and found this story about a civilian prisoner in the Japanese prison, Changi, during World War II. This was one of the projects the Red Cross used to keep prisoners’ spirits up was a series of three quilts, the Changi Quilts.
• Katelyn at Stamping Mad just held a blog carnival
• Anne Wayman, has a guest blogging over at The Golden Pencil who shares with us Why Writers Forums Work
• Josh Johnson at Junk Creation shares with us that in a post-apocalyptic world where you have only starbursts or other “Roastees” to live on, you can apparently roast them on metal coat hangers… or you could fix your shelves.
