Giveaway #29: I Heart the Arctic giveaway


Posted by Amy on Tuesday December 8, 2009

When I first saw the I Heart the Arctic zine by Jacqueline Kari Bos, I was intrigued. It’s an illustrated book about the arctic, Inuit myths, Eskimo hoods, seals, and all things chilly. Jacqueline created the book after completing a year long study on Inuit myths and readings on arctic cultures.

The first print run has sold out quickly in her Etsy shop, and here’s your chance to get your hand on ONE COPY of the limited edition second printing. And as a bonus, you’ll also get a sewn arctic heart ornament to go with the book. Say YAY!

Just comment on this post by 15th December and we’ll pick out a winner after. Giveaways on Pikaland are global – meaning that EVERYONE from ANYWHERE can enter!

————————————————————

P/S: Posting is a little light today, and with good reason too — I’m out to celebrate my birthday today! Thanks so much for all your wonderful wishes and birthday greetings (I’ve had so many messages delivered via Twitter, Facebook and email!)

UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks for participating!
