ONE YEAR BLOGAVERSARY!!!

I guess it's no secret now what's so special about today! :)
(No one guessed correct yesterday)

I am soooooo excited to hit this milestone, and I *know* I couldn't have made it through this year of blogging without the support and encouragement of all of YOU!  Seriously - stopping by, leaving comments - these efforts make my day!  Especially the comments, but...we all know how precious and rare those can be. ;-)

I feel like jumping up and down, throwing confetti...I feel like celebrating!

Would you like to celebrate with me? ;-)
OK!  Bring on the balloons and CANDY! :)

I think this looks better IRL. :-(  Though...there are a few things I would change on it, but I really wanted to get this posted today! :)  Do you see the sparkle on the Wild Wasabi & Marina Mist Balloons?!!  Love it! :)

Ready for the CANDY?

Blog candy, that is! :)  All of this could be YOURS!!  7pc "Happy Moments" Stamp set, "Stamped by" stamp, Black Ink Spot, Button assortment, multiple yards of ribbon, designer paper, brads, clear half-beads (aka faux dew drops), and the card posted above!  Only a couple of things (brads, portion of ribbon) are non-SU...the rest...STAMPIN' UP! :)

For the non-crafting individuals who leave comments...the winnings are 10 random crystal-made cards! :)

How do you win?  Simple:

1. Leave a comment on this post - whatever you'd like to say, or ask, or would like to see more of, or what your favorite post of mine has been in the past year...etc.  (include if you'd rather own the crafty stuff, or the 10 cards) Also...if you comment annonymously, at least include your first name in the comment so I can distinguish it from the others if you win!

And just because you like me so much and want to make my day...and you'll earn extra credit...
2. Follow me! (see lower RH sidebar, Google Friend)

Please SPREAD THE WORD to your friends! :)


I'll draw a random winner on Monday at 5pm PST.

Thanks so much for stopping by (this past YEAR!), and have a GREAT day!

Blog Candy Winner!

Sorry for the delay...
Yesterday was an emotionally draining day.  The funeral was very hard, but beautiful too...a wonderful tribute. Please continue to hold this family up in your prayers.

I woke this morning with a cold, yuck!  Needless to say, I'm feeling a little "blah" today between the emotions and the cold, but rather than wait until I "feel like it," (since I know you're all waiting with baited breath - ha!) to hear who won the blog candy, I decided I'd better figure that out! :)

I first want to say a big Thank You to all who have been visiting my lil' blog, and to those who left comments - THANK YOU very much! :)   Please continue to visit! (oh, and continued comments are great, too). ;-)

I used Random.org to find the winner.
Drumroll please....

10,000 Hits BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming to visit me!!!

Seriously, it's fun to not only see the hits climb (people have been here!), but for those of you who have commented here and there....THANK YOU sooo much!  Seriously...a comment makes my day!  I am so excited to be celebrating 10,000 hits on my blog!

(((cue interuptive 'time to finish it up and move on' music)))
>wink<

I have TWO Candy Options:
For you crafty people, here's the candy!













Yummy yards of ribbon, metal tags, and lots of eyelets, primas (flowers), and confetti flowers, a clear mini stamp set, and Stampin' Up buttons!

For you...people who don't craft....I'll send either:
A) 5 random cards I've made, or
B) A set of matching monogram cards.

What do you think about that?  After winner is chosen, I'll let them choose their candy.  Who knows...if we have a TON of comments, maybe I'll just choose two people and give both gifts! ;-)

Soooo....what do you need to do to win the candy?

Comment on this post! :)

Tell me whatever you want to tell me (but be nice! lol)...
What you'd like to see more of, what's your favorite post from me so far, whatever you'd like! I'd love to hear from you! :)

Annonymous Commenters: Please add your first name and last initial in the same box as your comment. Why? Because if there's all these annonymous comments with no names, how would we know who won? lol

You know what would be great, too (but not necessary to win)?  Become a follower of the blog! :)  See RH sidebar at very bottom with all the little thumnail pics?

Comments open until Monday morning (Jan. 11th) at 10AM PST.

Thank you for stopping by, and have a GREAT day! :)
