BLOGAVERSARY!!! It's my party, but you get the presents!

***Sorry for the delay in posting this. Thanks for your patience.**



It all began with some crappy cards and a dream.

ROFL! 3 short years ago, I took the plunge into blogland, and it's been quite an adventure, filled with rubber, digis, ribbon and, of course, paper! (Glorious paper!) But by far the best part is all the wonderful people I've met, the friendships that have blossomed, and the fellowship that we've shared. ((((HUGS))))

So to say a great big THANK YOU to all of you for joining me on this creative journey, I'm offer up some tasty treats (I hope you think they're as delish as I do). I couldn't decide between an "Everyday" and "Christmas" theme, so you are getting a bit of both.

"Everyday"


"Christmas"



Along with this stamp from The Greeting Farm:

...and these items from Cosmo Cricket's "Mitten Weather" Collection:


Here's a complete list of what's included:

  • 12 Rolls (24 yards total) of American Crafts ribbon
  • 6 feet of assorted color and shape Punchinella
  • Webster's Pages Bloomers in Berry
  • Tim Holtz Alterations Die "Hardware Findings"
  • Spellbinders Impressabilities "Flourish"
  • EK Success Border Punch
  • Basic Grey's "Basics White" 6x6 paper pad
  • Pink Paislee's "365 Degrees" 6x6 paper pad
  • Cosmo Cricket "Mitten Weather" 6x6 paper pad
  • Cosmo Cricket "Mitten Weather" 6x12 cardstock stickers
  • Unity Stamp Co. "Christmas Bough" rubber stamp set
  • Unity Stamp Co. Ornament rubber stamp
  • Unity Stamp Co. "Wish" rubber stamp
  • My Favorite Things' "Merry Christmas" clear stamp set
  • Stampendous "Retro Bold Border" clear stamp set
  • C.C. Designs Sugarplums "Ornament Trevor" rubber stamp
  • The Greeting Farm "Stamping Anya" rubber stamp
  • Chipboard purse mini album
  • Assorted bling, stickers & embellishments

And here's how to win it:

  1. Become a Follower AND
  2. Leave a comment on this post (both steps required for eligibility)

    Optional Bonus Entry: Add my Blog Badge & link to your sidebar

Pretty easy, eh? The candy is up for grabs through November. I'll draw and announce a winner on December 1st.


And FYI, also on December 1st is the start of the "Jesus Is The Reason" blog hop. There will be prizes and candies, but really the best part is sharing God's love. I sincerely hope you'll join us.

A BIG WOO-HOO & YIPPEE on your Blogaversary! Aw, Chica, you know I'd follow you anywhere (especially on a road trip to Archiver's, which is long overdue!) From the very first time we met waaay back in a Kadie Swap, we just clicked, and I am so blessed to be able to call you *friend*, one of those special ones who gets me & my quirky outlook on life, one who is always there to share a laugh with me, comfort me, let me vent, or figuratively slap the sense back into me whenever I need it. LOL! I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed watching your skills as a paper crafter and Copic master grow. I LOVE your unique creativity that shows on every project you make, and I'm never disappointed when I pop on here for a Chica Fix! You have always been such a source of encouragement and inspiration to me, not only in cardmaking, but also in life, and you know I love ya, Sistah! {{{HUGS}}} (oh, and {face smooshies} for Charlie!)
