fresh & fun

Last week I crossed another 100,000 in blog visits. My counter got messed up sometime last month or so. It should be showing 3,200,000, but it doesn’t really matter! Thank you so much for always visiting my blog and leaving comments. I really appreciate it!

This time I will raffle away Spellbinders Holiday Cheer dies. All you have to do to enter the raffle is leave a comment under this post. One comment per person. I will pick the winner Tuesday around 2 p.m. EST .

 P.S.: If you are interested in how to use the Spellbinder dies, check this product focus on Splitcoaststampers. Tutorials are listed on the right side bar.

  Hugs and smiles

I missed too many milestone celebrations recently. I am almost at 2,800,000 hits and want to make sure I don’t miss this one. So I post a little early since are leaving for our trip to Germany on Wednesday morning.

To participate in the raffle, just add a comment under this post.

One comment per person please.

 I will pick a winner with the help from Random.org tomorrow afternoon.

Have a great weekend. Hugs and smiles

I am sorry I didn’t draw a name last night. Rick was working on the front door, banging around and making a lot of noise. My computer/stamp room is right there. So I hid in our bedroom watching the new show “Kings” (I think that’s what it was called)….and then I forgot! My bad!!!

Random.org picked #48 this time.

That’s Jamie Kaufman.

Thank you all who entered in the raffle. I will hold another one soon. I missed giving out candy for too many milestones.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs and smiles

Personal Note:

I am not sure if and how much I can share this week.  I have a lot to do before we go on our Germany trip next week. I can’t believe we are leaving next week already. I hope we have good weather while we are there. We have so many little trips planned. We can’t wait.

This time I will give away a special edition of this Going Gourmet set from Our Craft Lounge.

It’s one of the prototypes. It doesn’t have the printed & colored images on it’s back.  The stamps are the same great quality .

I will also give away with it three Copic Ciao Markers:

BV02 Purple, B23 Phthalo Blue and R85 Rose Red.

To enter, just add a comment under this post. One comment per person, please.

I will pick a winner with Random.org Sunday night around 7 p.m. CST.

Good Luck!

P. S.: Stamp camp was so much fun! I think all the ladies had a great time too. All my cards had insides….so it took us a while. I don’t think anyone minded though.

Hugs and smiles

Our Craft Lounge is sweet enough to give one of each of their new CHA release sets away as blog candy. Check Cambria’s blog for a list of all blogs that give away a set today. You can see all the sets here.

I love to bake, so I thought the “Lovin’ from the Oven” would be the perfect set for me to give away.

Just add a comment to this post to enter the raffle.

One comment per person please!

I will determine the winner with help from random.org tomorrow at noon.

Good luck! Hugs and smiles

To participate in the challenge and be entered in the  raffle, make a card with this layout and upload it either to your blog, or to an online gallery. This time, because I just passed 2,400,000 hits on my blog, I will raffle away these goodies:

• Melanie Munchinger’s Just so hoppy  stamp set (Gina K.)
• CuttleBug Embossing Folder Number Collage
• Ribbon assortment

If you upload your card on SCS, put WSC64  (NO SPACE INBETWEEN WSC AND 64) in the keyword section. That way we can look at all of them at once!

Post a link to your card to this blog entry as a comment. Please add your entry# to it. Please only comment once per card. If you forget the entry number, it’s okay. I will fix it. Don’t post again. Only card entries will count for the raffle.

I will determine the winner with Random.org on Wednesday morning.

Personal Note:
I started working out again and went on a 2.6 mile walk after doing my workout with my neighbor. It feels good to work out again, although my muscles are screaming today. Last night I played cards with the kids. We only have a few termites last night. Thank goodness. I have been working on SCS work and checking out all the WSC entries so far and hadn’t had time to stamp yet. Sorry! I have no stamped project to share with you today.

This time I will raffle away a few more Impression stamps, an Impression ink pad, Impression flower thingies and a few Flame Dew drops.
