Blog Candy Winner!

Thanks everyone for you patience and the lovely comments! I really appreciate it. So, I had over 80 folks which really suprised me!! Thanks everyone! Without further ado our winner is...

Fiona W
Check out her blog! She has some really beautiful creations!!

Send me your addy so I send out your package. I believe you are as we say, "across the pond" and I am extremely excited to send it off to you!

Now, a few of you have asked about the google doc/spreadsheet. It worked great BUT I would only use it again if I was asking for one entry. Since I had said you could do 1-3 things, it made things a little more time consuming to figure out how many entries each person got then have to add another line item. Additionally, I'd turn comments OFF on the blog so that all folks would know to use the form to submit their entry rather than in the comment form. All in all, I'm really happy with GoogleDocs and will use it again.

Be back this weekend with a few creations!!!

MY blog Candy Time!

Woo Hoo! I've surpassed 1K in hits! THANK YOU! In show of my appreciation, I have the following candy up for grabs:

• Ranger Glossy Accents
• Jo-Ann Pink Letters
• Heidi Swapp Distresser
• American Craft Pink Polka dot ribbon
• Five Heavy Weight 4x4 Coasters
• Two Bind it all 4x4 acrylic pages (for your coasters above)
• and a Copic Sketch C1 Cool Grey marker!
  

(I choose this color Copic marker because it is FABULOUS for shadows and I thought if you haven't tried Copics then it would be a good introduction to get you hooked!)


Of course there has to be rules and ways to enter. Here is the fine print:
1. One comment, one entry
2. Add my blog to your Google Reader (or similar) and get a second entry
3. Add a link to my blog candy on your blog and get a third entry!

Blog Candy Closes Sunday 6/29/2008 at 9PM CST.

Please use the following form for your entries. Upon reading on Freebies4Mom's website about Blog Coach's advice, I've decided to use GoogleDocs for my entries. This is going to be a better way to track entries (and safer too!)

Good Luck!

Blog Candy Coming!

I cannot believe it! I've passed the 1k mark for visitors on my blog! WOW! To thank my ya'll (yes, I live in the south!) I'm going to do blog candy!! Check back here in a day or so and I'll have some posted.

THANK YOU!!

Sugar Nellies

We once again have guests coming into our home tomorrow so I'll be MIA again this weekend. BUT before I go, I want to share something I got in the mail the other day:

It's an INTERNATIONAL envelope! I've NEVER gotten mail from outside of the USA so imagine my surprise when I opened it to see this:

It's a BRAND NEW Suger Nellie stamp called Flowers. It's it ADORABLE! I won it on her website. If you haven't seen them, please go over and take a look! There are some amazing stamps!

And because I've been so lucky lately, I'm gathering STUFF for you know... BLOG CANDY! So keep checkin' back!

Have a great weekend!

Oh Happy Day!

Some of you know that my oldest daughter is going through cancer treatment. Well, today was her LAST CHEMO! We are so happy that one part of the journey is over. Unfortunately, the next part is just beginning. Her "roadmap" as they call it, has her having MRIs/bloodtests, etc every three months for the next two years. Then it becomes every six months for two years, then yearly for the next six years. As a cancer patient, she will not be considered "cured" until 5 years OT (off treatment), which that clock begins in three weeks. Time to start counting down.

In anticipation of today and how brave my four year old daughter has been, I posted on SCS if anyone wanted to send her a card. The cards started coming in today. And you know the best part? There were even cards for my youngest (2 1/2 yo) too! So here are a couple pics (sorry about the bad pics! I was trying to get pics done before they took the cards away from me!!! :))

So thank you ladies so much for sending my girls cards! They are so happy to get mail and these cards are all beautiful!

It was also a happy mail day for me too! I'm new to this blog world but have tried entering blog candy give aways for a couple months now with no avail. However, this month I've won twice! (Is good times coming my way now????) I got this from Erika Marting (Stampin Mama) who has an amazing blog with such wonderful creations! If you haven't checked her out, RUN over there! I won this great travel scrap kit that I can't wait to use!

The other blog candy was through Gina K! If you've never been over there, RUN as well! She has some amazing tutorials! I really learn a ton from sometimes just simple techniques! She sent me the new Fiskars scissors and I can't wait to try them out. Maybe this weekend?

Anywho, I must run. I hope to post the baby shower invitation I created (at least the pro-type!) this weekend.

Happy Easter and Spring! May this season bring you and your family many blessings.
