::giveaway closed:: Introducing :: 'Olelo Paintings aaand a giveaway!

Here we are, my friends, at the end of my two year blogiversary celebration! I really hope you've enjoyed all the giveaways this week! They've been a really fun way for me to show my appreciation and love for all of you!

Remember, they all close on Sunday night and I will be announcing the winners probably on Tuesday so I can put together a special presentation of the lucky winners.

Here are the four giveaways from this week, in case you still need to go put your name in the hat!

{Tropical Spa Goodies package}

{Retro Hawaii map from Everything is Jake}

{Girl's Night Out package}

{Day at the Beach package}

And today, I am super excited to introduce a new line of paintings to you! Here they are, my 'olelo paintings!

The word 'olelo is the Hawaiian word for (as you can see above) language, speech, word, quotation, statement, etc.  I spent a long time trying to decide what to name this particular line and had the hardest time deciding on the right name. 'Olelo is perfect because not only does it reflect the textual nature of the paintings, but the colors were inspired by the vibrant colors I see in Hawaii. 

In fact, the four colors below are signature colors for this particular line of paintings. They are: 

Pretty, pretty, right? :) 

(For some reason, the 'Aloha' one shows up super orange in the above pictures but it is in 'mango' just like 'hello')

I will be bringing out new words & phrases over the next few weeks and I may introduce new colors in the future, so stay tuned. These five paintings are in shop right now, so hop over and snag one while you can! 

And for the final blogiversary giveaway this week, one of you gets to win a customized 'olelo painting in your choice of one of the four signature colors, with any word or short phrase you'd like! 

We're gonna keep this one simple. Make sure you are a follower of Aisle to Aloha (click the follow button on the right side bar) and leave a comment telling me your favorite word. 

Wanna hear my favorite word{s}?

My favorite English word is "scintillating". I love the way it rolls off my tongue and the meaning is beautiful-- "sparkling, shining bright, brilliant". 

My favorite word in Spanish (did you know I was a Spanish major in college??) is refunfuñar. It means "to grumble" and it is SO fun to say. It's especially fun to say "he grumbled" -- refunfuñaba. :) hehe. 

Ok, so what's your favorite word?? And don't you love these new paintings?? I do.
