My counter crossed the 1,800,000 mark today! Thank you so much for always visiting my blog. It is very humbling to know how many of you check in with me. To celebrate the mailstone I am raffling away a Unity Stamp set.

It is an unmounted set called Daisy Days.

I will pick a winner sometime tomorrow afternoon with the help of random.org.

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.

It is time again.

In fact it is long overdue.

My 1,500,000 came and went sometime during either right before Easter or while Rick was here.

I can’t believe it’s already time to celebrate 1,600,000 hits. Thank you to all of you coming to my blog. I really appreciate it your interest, concerns, thoughts and prayers for me, my work and my family.

This time it’s all about AMuse.  I will raffle away an assortment of Note cards, paper strips and five farm stamps from AMuse.

Silke Ledlow recently had a blog candy and asked for favorite color combinations. She is now using them in her blog posts. I think I want to case her idea.

To enter this raffle, please post one of your favorite color combos (please be kind….not too much purple. LOL) in the comment section. One post per person please!

Please post your comment number with your comment. Check the amount of comments the post has and then add one. That’s your comment number. If the comment you posted isn’t right, please don’t add another comment or it will mess the whole comment+1 equasion up. I will try to update them as they get posted.

I will draw a winner for this raffle with random.org tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. CST.

I can’t wait to hear your color combos. One of my favorites (and I have many) is Chocolate Chip, Groovy Guava, River Rock and Whisper White.

It’s time to celebrate again! My ticker passed another 100,000 hits!!!!

This time I am giving away four background stamps from Impress, Bling and Prima Flowers.

I just passed 1,300,000 hits.  Thank you all for coming to visit me! That is so sweet of you! So now it’s time for Fresh & Fun Freebies again.

This time I will raffle away a new unmounted Gina K. Make a Wish  stamp set.

You can find a lot of great samples for this wonderful set on Gina’s website.

Along with the set the winner will receive assorted May Arts ribbon.

To win, please add a post a comment to this entry.  Add your entry number to your post.

I will determine a winner with the help of random.org tomorrow morning around 8:00 a.m. CST.

Good luck! Hugs and smiles

P.S.: In case you are wondering. I am still burried under swap cards. Right now I am glueing little 1/4″ circles on each card (three of them). I hope to be done in another hour or two and hopefully get to play with stamps later on.

I just passed 1,200,000 hits!!!!

Thanks so much for always checking out what I am up to.

This time I will raffle away the old style Scor-Pal. I got a new one. This one is still in perfect condition. If you don’t have one of these scoring tools, you should consider getting one. It makes scored projects like boxes a breeze! It’s light weight and super easy to use.

 Just post a comment under this post to be eligible to win. One comment per person please.

 Again…let’s try to number the entries. Your entry number is post count +1.

Hugs and smiles

Thank you all so much for sticking with me when I took some time off to be with my family. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and support.

While I was taking my break, my blog counter snug over 1,000,000. Yesterday it passed another 100,000. It’s definitely time for some candy!

I will raffle away a new and unmounted Stampin’ Up! set called Wild Rose along with some retired ribbon.

To participate in the raffle, just leave a comment on this post.

Only one comment per person.

Please add your entry number to your comment (Post number +1).

 I wish I could give away bigger gifts and hold blog candys more often. I am so grateful for all your visits and support. But I am not affiliated with any company (besides being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator) and the blog candy always comes out of my own pocket.

It’s that time again. I crossed 900,000 hits on the counter and want to celebrate with you!

This time the winner of this drawing will receive

an unmounted set of All I Have Seen

Vanilla Ribbon from the Beachfront Ribbon Original pack

a blank Meander book (tutorial will come next week on SCS)

To enter the drawing leave a comment on this post.

Please add your comment number. It’s the number of posts you see on this post+1.

Only one comment per person! I will determine a winner with help from random.org and post it on Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m.

Thanks so much for being patient with me over the last two weeks! I can’t wait to get back to creating. Hopefully two more days and I will be back to my usual routine!

Again, sorry that I am so quiet. I can’t get back into my stamp rhythm. Yesterday was dark here all day. I have a hard time stamping when I can’t see the sun. I don’t know why.Thank goodness we only had horrid rain falls, Pensacola (an hour away from us) got hit by a tornado and we were under Tornado warning for a while.

Can you believe the ticker just passed 800,000??? Because of that, the winner of this sketch challenge will receive an unmounted set of “Stamp of Authenticity“. I guess with that many hits I am a genuine blogger. LOL

I like easy sketches. Can you tell?

To participate in the challenge and be entered in the stamp set raffle, make a card with this layout and upload it either to your blog, or to an online gallery.

 If you upload your card on SCS, put WSC24  (NO SPACE INBETWEEN WSC AND 24) 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.

I will determine the winner of the clear stamps with Random.org on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.

I used my little tree card as inspiration for today’s sketch.

I made the sketch into a rectangle, since last weeks sketch challenge was a square.

I will post a new sample for this sketch later.

To see samples made with this sketch now, check out the blogs of

Have fun creating! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
