YEAR ONECOMPLETE

DAILY GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED _ YOU CAN STILL EARN THE PIXIE POINTS FOR THE MONTHLY GIVEAWAY BY SHARING THIS AND LEAVING A COMMENT.

Well here it is finally. One year on Steemit. I don't really feel anything special, only wonder where that year went and really tired today(edit: It's been amazing, don't get me wrong, that was just the feel about the day.) I look at the numbers and that is a lot of posts. though i knew some who made that in their first week almost.. It's been great to be part of Steemit for this year, it has been a life changer in many ways. There are many aspects of this i don't like and that are somewhat worrying, I will leave that for another time. I hope this platform will lead to better things over all. I'm very glad to have met so many nice people here, i'm not that great with interaction in general but i think i'm slightly improving on that too. Thanks everyone and steem on.

Segway lost due selfcensorship so let's just move to the giveaway:

THE GRAND GIVEAWAY

I've been doing these giveaways to celebrate this day and month. Since it is the actual anniversary i'll put some more weight to it..but there are special rules that i'll write below. There will be another one for just today but the grand giveaway for will be this deep and dark oil painting that's been hanging on my own wall until now.

Cave Day, 55x46cm, oil on canvas, 2013

This will be given away at the end of the month, or on the first of September.
For this giveaway there will be another set of points. lets call them pixie points. You will get one for resteeming this one in addition to the share points for the daily one below and it will only be used at this giveaway. I will announce some other ways to earn pixie points before the final draw. Having pixie points will automaticly enter you to the giveaway. Both draw or pass will count to earn the pizie point( new ppl see below the daily instructions)

Todays giveaway

Meanwhile there will be a regular giveaway for each day of month as usual and today
it is a custom windows paint portrait from your picture.

this is my selfportrait some years ago from a webcam to give you an idea...i think yours will be much nicer. can be picture of someone else too. See instructions below.

How to participate:

If you would like a chance to win the custom portrait giveaway,
please resteem this post and type keyword DRAW in the comments. (if you think keywords are silly, just type something and resteem, i'll count you in anyway...)
If you type PASS and resteem you can earn the share points and save them for later.

when you resteem one of my open giveaway posts, where winner is not yet drawn, you will earn a "share point" and they will be your number of entries in the giveaway when you choose to enter. When you are chosen as the winner the points will reset.

If after the month you are holding a bag of share points but no prize, I will think of some nice reward for you as well.
I will pull a random winner on the next days post. I've made a special email address where i will ask you to send your mailing address, and i will mail the artwork to you on my expense after the month has passed (in case you happen to win multiple artworks).

Now, let's see who is the winner for yesterdays giveaway. We had a record of two 6 share point holders this time..
