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.

  2. Hi, Jessica. Congrats on getting close to 100. Sorry I haven't gotten to comment lately, trying to catch up :) I am already a follower and what I like best about your blog is that you are a very Genuine person (which I can tell on the wonderful comments that you leave me). As for a prize..it could be anything. Going to grab your blinkie now. I will try to get back and do the other things sometime later.

  3. Hi Jessica! You are soo close to 100, you will be there in no time! I am already a follower, and I have your blinkie on my blog. As for what I like most about your blog is getting to see your amazing projects. What I would like to win doesn't matter...I'd stop by to visit anyway. My fav project I would have to say is the BBQ invite from last week's Grillin' & Chillin' Bug hop...it was so retro-looking and cool and I can't believe you drew the bugs! The projects I would like to see more of are ones that make you happy to create :)

  6. OOP's Jessica. I think I was supposed to leave you all 3 entries in one comment. Sorry about that.
    #1 - I'm a new follower
    #2 - I added your blinkie to my blog and you can see it here:
    http://cottonpickincute.blogspot.com
    #3 - I looked over some of your past projects and I really like the layout you did, honoring your nephew Ryan. As for what I like most about your blog...So far it's all the creative projects but I'm sure I'll probably be saying your friendship once we get to know each other. You seem to be a sweet and generous person, which leads me to what I would like to win. Winning's always fun no matter what but in blogland you always walk away with a new friend which is cool.

    Thanks for letting me enter!
    Hugs...Tracy :)

  7. Hi Jessica - Just wanted to leave you a comment regarding your 100 Follower Giveaway... Yeah!!! Looks like you are almost there. I'm a new follower so I haven't had a lot of time to see all of your talent. But I did love the banner you made for your sister's wedding. I am currently working on a "1st Birthday" banner for my granddaughter that is coming up (pictures of her party to be posted in a couple weeks). I love to see different ideas for special moments (birthdays, anniversaries, weddings) so keep the ideas coming for those. I have also added your blinkie to my sidebar - you can check it out here: http://byshawnarae.blogspot.com
    Ideas for blog candy??? hmmm... surprises are always nice! ;-) I'm looking forward to getting wonderful inspiration when I visit your blog. Hope you'll drop by mine often as well and leave comments too! Can't wait to see how quickly you reach 100!
