My 600th post: We have ourselves a WINNER!

So on Thursday, I had a little bit of a giveaway.

And I DID specifically say in the rules that winners would be drawn from comments made on my blog, not the Skipping Stones Design blog.

I think when people see the words "giveaway" or "blog candy" they go a little crazy. *lol*

Thankfully, though, the other half of my rules stated that I wanted to know your organizational tips so I can better my own. And yay, everyone from both blogs did that!

But I'm not a mean person. In fact, it's the people-pleaser Virgo in me that wants to satisfy everyone. So I included people who commented on THIS blog and the Skipping Stones Design blog in my lottery of winners.

Random.Org chose, out of 23 comments, #21.

Carol B! (she left me a comment on the SSD blog! :)

Carol, you have 24 hours to contact me with your information! Please email joboogie at gmail dot com.

Thank you everyone for playing along! Have a fantastic week1

Blog Candy ALERT!

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I wanted to pop in and share some AWESOME blog candy that's going over at the Getting Cricky blog! This is your chance to win the ENTIRE new release from K. Andrew Designs!

I copied and pasted the info directly from Kristal. Be sure to head to THE ORIGINAL BLOG POST for more info!

Have a wonderful day! :)

This past year was an incredible journey thru my heart and soul, and I'm celebrating the New Year with a NEW YOU attitude--life is going to have the ups and downs...but God is with us, and every experience only makes us stronger--and lifts our souls to a higher level. I started teaching 4'th grade! Met someone wonderful that I know God destined just for me...have found a charming historic 1941 home that my boys and I now both call home, divorced, moved across the country, and just fell out of crafting for a few months, and now.....I'm continuing the amazing journey thru life...just like each of you. Isn't that what our souls long to do? It's totally the Journey....not the end.

Love to you all!

Hi All!

Wanted to pop in and share: My BFF is giving away some fabulous blog candy at her blog!

Check out my left sidebare or click on THIS LINK to find out more!

Happy Thanksgiving! :)

 

 

bday blog hop winner + scrappy share: drama queen

Good morning everyone!!!

First let's get down to business! I have drawn the winner for my Birthday Blog Hop... And let me first thank everyone who participated - my crafty friends AND all of you who hopped along with us! I hope you all found inspiration and new blogs to follow! And thank you for following MINE! I hope I can keep you entertained! :)

Secondly, for some reason, on my post, InLinkz was not showing up every link... But I DID go back to the InLinkz site directly for my drawing. Instead of 22 participants there were 32! I also deleted duplicates, but left people who don't own blogs as well (you see them listed as "no blog" or "n/a."

Here is the screenshot of all the participants:

And here is the winner... *drumroll*

I swear I don't know what's up with the #16, but #16 is our winner! Yay for Sherrie K! Congratulations and I can't wait to see what you create with all your new goodies!

--------

And in other news... I scrapped again! :)

Super easy layout:

supplies: DP: My Mind's Eye; "drama queen" die (Silhouette); border punch (SU!); bling (Kaiser Scrapbook) pen (Copic)

I had big dreams for this 8x12 pic of M, but when it came down to it, I figured that I would just create a simplie layout. I had this MME paper I had been hoarding for a while so I thought I'd use it.

I also used my Silhouette for the first time in 2 years! I never used my Silhoutte before so it was all new to me. I had purchased it a couple years ago at a REALLY good deal. But I couldn't use it, because for a while, it wasn't compatible with Mac. Now it is! Yay!

But I'm not sure if I'm liking the Silhouette as much as my Cricut. Granted, I only made one cut using it, but still... It just doesn't wow me. I do like the fact that you can purchase individual SVG files... but there's something about Cricut cartridges that's so addicting. *lol*

Anyway, that's it for now. Praying that drop off at M's second day at preschool isn't as horrible as the first... That is another blog post! *lol*

Happy Monday!

we have ourselves a WINNER!

Birthday Blog Candy!

Hi Everyone!

My birthday is less than a month away and I'm feeling a bit generous! I missed this year's & last year's blogaversaries, so I thought it would be really fun to give away some blog candy for my birthday this year!

Wanna see what I'm offering up?

Here are some of the deets:

- Prima flowers (never before opened)
- 8x8 paper packs that are from Europe (I think - I bought them from a You Tube buddy online a while ago)
- Labels 18 Nestabilities by Spellbinders (You'll need your own die cutting machine for these!)
- Travel Anya rubber stamp (retired - The Greeting Farm) - never before used!
- Hello Kitty Sizzlit die for Sizzix- again, you'll need your own die cutting machine for this!
- a pack of square brads, tags, and mosaic tiles
- I might include more, but I'm not sure yet!

Here's how you can win:

1. Become a follower (if you're not already!) via Google Reader, Feed Burner, or Google Friend Connect (see left side bar!) and leave a comment on this post telling me that you've done so...
2. For an additional entry, blog about my blog candy and link back here (with your blog entry linking back to mine) using the InLinkz collection below.

I'll close comments & InLinkz entries on Wednesday, August 31st, 2011 at 11:59pm PST. I will add comments from the blog + InLinkz links to generate a total amount of entries and will use Random.org to choose a winner! I will draw the winner on Thursday, September 1st and contact the winner shortly thereafter. Hopefully I'll get the contact info within two days and will mail everything out on Wednesday September 7th!

Good luck to everyone! Thanks so much for your comments (I love them!), following me (I feel so honored!), and supporting me in this crazy, crafty world (it means so much to me!)... Hope I can continue to share my craftiness & creativity for many years to come - or until you get sick of me! *lol* :)

Have a wonderful weekend! :)
