Repost: Thank You for Being So Kind and a ***GIVEAWAY***

***Giveaway ENDS 6/20/11***

 Here are the pictures of the entire lot of goodies.  I am a fanatic for vintage/retro style papers, so if you are too, you will love the papers I am including in this set of Blog Candy.  There's a few whimsical prints, too.  The candy also includes the stamps I mentioned before (pictured below) along with some alpha stickers, small photo mattes, other stamps, stickers, charms, fibers, flowers, re-positionable wall stickers, and some surprise diecuts!!!

 I found these and just thought they would make for perfect CANDY for my 1st ever Giveaway.  I posted about the giveaway the other day, but wanted to make an update with some pictures.  I will continue to update this post as I gather more goodies to be included in the Grand Prize....Yep, there will be more goodies!!!!  Keep watching and if you haven't already signed up for a chance to win....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

As I finish tying up the loose ends to preparing for my first ever craft show next weekend and finish some projects for challenges I want to participate in, I want to stop and take a moment to give a

Warm Fuzzy Thank You 

to all of my faithful followers.  The journey over the last few months has been so great.  The support and uplifting comments you have offered me, have truly made me smile.  I feel I have learned a great deal about the craft I love from all of you.  I have received great inspiration, motivation, and feel that God has kept me in his hands through some very pressing times here at home.  I don't think I would feel so blessed without all of you there to cheer me on.  For that, I thank you.

I realized today that I am very close to reaching 100 followers already.  It seems just like yesterday, that I only had a handful.  I am amazed and want to return the blessings over to you!!!!  I am going to watch very closely to the rising number of followers, and as soon as I reach 100....I WILL DO A GIVEAWAY.  I want it to be a special giveaway, so I don't have an actual prize in mind just yet, but want you to offer suggestions of what you would like to win as a prize.

The contest will close on June 20th, 2011 or once I have reached 100 followers....whichever is later!  Once the contest closes, I will place all entries in a hat and allow my 4 year old son to pick a winner!

This is my first attempt to use inlinkz and I sure hope it works.....cross your fingers...
