Celebrating 300 posts

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED---I'LL BE BACK LATER WITH THE WINNER!

This is my 300th post and I'm also nearing 15,000 hits so I thought I'd celebrate with some blog candy. We all love candy, right? I love actual candy as well but what I'm going to offer shouldn't put any extra pounds on our hips and thighs.

Okay, here's what you need to do. First, comment on this post answering the following question. How long have you been paper crafting and what do you like the best--cardmaking or scrapbooking? Second, spread the word on your blog, if you have one. If not, word of mouth is fabulous. Third, check back on 8/18/09 to see if you won. Easy peasy, right?

Now, onto the goodies. Here's what's up for grabs.

2 unmounted rubber stamp sets by Amy R --Love Sentiments & Wedding
1 jar lime green Prima flowers
2 packages of Prima Fancystix flowers
Rob & Bob Clipease Dispenser and refills

A fun giveaway with a twist

I saw this on Sparkle's blog earlier and decided that despite me failing my test (see post below) and having to really cut back on my paper crafting time, that I could still play along. "Rule" #3 does say it can be done this year. :) I mean, how could I possibly give up a chance to receive something handmade from Sparkle?

This was on Sparkle's blog...and I posted, so I gotta post this on here. :) Scroll down to see today's card.

The first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me. It will be my choice what I send to you. But...there is a catch...ready?

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It'll be done this year!
4- You have no clue what it's going to be. I have tons of ideas, but who knows what it will be? Not you, that's for sure!
5-The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog! (then come here and post, I WILL check your blog *wink*)

The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did will win a homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!

So....who will be the first 5 people?????

Winner of the blog candy

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments about me passing that part of the CPA exam. And I was touched by all the sweet stories you left about your struggles. It's something we all have. Okay, Tanya's name was drawn. Here's what she said.

'Congratulations!! Okay never really tried for blog candy before but I thought I'd give it a shot.

The one thing that I struggled with the most was the death of my step-father, who passed away with bladder cancer. I was there in his last moments and what I saw is forever etched in my mind--something I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy. My step-father was the one true male figure in my life and losing him threw me for a loop but I have come away from the situation with a whole new outlook. I now don't take things for granted because life is short but my goal is to live it to it's fullest and enjoy every single nano-second with my daughter (and future children) so that they know that no matter what I am and always will be here for them and love her (them) with my whole heart.'

Tanya, email me at alannamoses@aol.com so I can get your address to send these goodies off. Thanks again everyone for playing and visiting.
