"And The Winners Are....."

I hope you all had fun last week. I know I sure did. I used a random number generator to pick the winners. Which was the easy part. The hard part was counting the comments to find the names. But I counted them twice to make sure and here are the winners of the blog candy.

Cyndi was the winner of the Stickles!
Sara in WI is the winner of the beaded pen kit
Sandra Smart is the winner of the beaded pen kit
Sherry Yeager is the winner of the Cuttlebug Folders
Denise from Oregon is the winner of the stamps
Kathleenh is the winner of the Scor-Pal
Congratulations ladies. Shoot me an e-mail with your address so I can send out your goodies.

"Blog Candy~ Giveaway #5 Grand Prize"

Can you believe it's Friday all ready? Man, this week went fast. As you know I am a resident instructor for the Scor-Pal. I truly love this product. This week I am giving away all the things that I love and the Scor-Pal is defiantly one of those products. I contacted Diana Crick, the creator of the Scor-Pal, and told her that I wanted to give away a Scor-Pal as blog candy for my 200,000 blog hit milestone and if I could order it with the winners name and she could send it to them. Diana not only said that she would send it to the winner, she also said that she would love to donate the Scor-Pal to the winner!! How cool is that! I know, I was so thrilled when she told me. She is a remarkable lady and so very generous. She congratulated me on my milestone and told me to let her know who the winner is and she will send them out a Scor-Pal right away. Thank you Diana for your generous gift, it means a lot to me. You Rock!!

"Blog Candy~ Giveaway #3"

Woo Hoo!!! Were you all going nuts waiting for me to post the next blog candy for the week? I was too cause I wasn't sure which one I was going to do today so while I was deciding I ran some errands. Today I am giving away 2 of the new embossing folders. Floral Fantasy and Distressed Stripes. If you don't have a Cuttlebug but you do have a Sizzix you can use that to emboss. I just recently got the Cuttlebug but before that I used my Sizzix. You have to get the converter kit for the Sizzix though before you can emboss. They cost around $14. You can get them at Michael's or Joanns or try your local stamp store. That is where I found mine. The converter kit is a magnet that adds height to the part that comes down on the dies. My friend Kristine did a tutorial on how it works. You can find it here.
To win this blog candy, leave me a comment on this post telling me.....oh I don't know. Just tell me something. LOL I can't think of a good question right now and I want to post this so I can finish up my cleaning and laundry seeing how I don't have a maid. LOL

You are all gonna die when you see what I am giving away on Friday. It is BIG so you definitely want to sign up to win that one. Not that the other ones aren't cool but Friday's is HUGE!!! Ok, enough about that. On to today's giveaway. I am giving away the supplies needed to make beaded pens. (along with printed directions in case you don't know how to make them). You will be getting 10 pens, one pack of microbeads (which is enough to make almost 20 pens) 12 address labels pre cut to size, and 12 pieces of tacky tape also cut to size. The only thing you need to provide is stamps, a heat gun, and container to roll the pens in. (you can use an empty stamp case for that) AND since I am in a giving mood. I am going to pick 2 winners for this one! Woo Hoo!!! So to register to win this blog candy, leave me a comment on this post telling me what your favorite crafting item is. What can you not live without. For me, as you know, it is the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. I use it every time I stamp.

"Blog Candy Winner"

Congratulations to Kimberly!!! Random.Org Picked number 17.
Thank you all for sharing your Easter Traditions. I really enjoyed reading about what you all do with your family. I am a little disappointed that no one rolls eggs like we do though. Seriously, You should try it. The kids have as much fun as the adults. I have been doing it for 38 years and it has been a family tradition since before I was born. This is the only picture I could find of egg rolling. It is from 2003. But you get the idea.

"Easter Stamp Give A Way"

Did y'all know that Easter is on March 23rd? A little too early for me this year. I didn't have anything to post today, I am finishing up a couple gift sets that are long over due. So why not give something away!! I had to go to Michael's to pick up something for the gift sets and BAM! I scored with the $1 Easter Stamps. I got a few for me and a few for you. Leave me a comment on this post and tell me if you have any Easter Traditions at your house. Maybe it is a special dinner you have or someplace you go, or if someone special comes over every year. That will get you in the drawing for these cute Easter stamps. I will draw a name on Saturday and announce the winner on Sunday. Good Luck!

Here is an Easter tradition that we do. I don't know of anyone else that does it so please if you do this, tell me so I don't think that just my family is weird. LOL We take the colored hard boiled eggs and roll them in the living room. First we get a ramp. Sometimes it is a big piece of cardboard sometimes it is a big piece of wood (like a door) We prop the ramp on a chair. Then we put 3 eggs randomly on the floor. We then give everyone 6 eggs and the oldest goes first and the youngest goes last. We roll one egg at a time and try to smash into another egg. Then the next person rolls one egg. And so on. If you hit an egg you pick up yours that you rolled and the one you hit. The winner is the one with the most eggs. What do you win? Bragging rights for a whole year.

"15,000 Hits Giveaway"

Hello.....Why didn't anyone tell me that I hit 15,000 views? I am almost at 15,500. Wow, I can't believe it. It was only two and a half weeks ago when I was at 10,000. Thank you so much to everyone who checks out my small piece of cyber space. I would like to thank you by giving away these two mini scrapbook kits and a pack of chip board embellishments that match. They are made by Nancy's Boutique. I have a couple and they are pretty neat. They are 6 x 6. You can keep it for yourself or make it for someone else. I haven't decided what to do with mine yet. I don't have any good questions, or any clever contests so maybe you could tell me if you have a blog and how many blogs do you visit. I will use the random counter to pick the winner on Saturday at midnight West Coast time and announce the winner on Sunday. Thank you again for visiting my blog and for all the wonderful comments you have made.

"10,000 post update"

Ok, I didn't forget about the 10,000 post blog candy. I just haven't finished making it yet. I wanted to get it done while I was in LA but I couldn't stop stamping Bella's and cuttlebug embossing. I plan on getting it done this weekend. I only have a couple more things to make. Then I will post it.

Thank you very much Tami for the chance to win.

"Geting ready for another give away"

I am driving to LA this weekend for SCS So Cal Stamp mania 4! This is my third one so I am really excited. It is a 7 hour drive for me but I don't mind. It is a easy drive. I love to drive too. When I get a few hours out of LA I plug in my i-pod because most of the radio stations are Spanish and I can never find a station to listen to. I will most likely loose my voice from singing all those 80's tunes at the top of my lungs. I have started making my "Wick Original" for my 10,000 post blog candy giveaway. It is going to be a good one so stay tuned. I hope to finish it while I am in LA and hopefully my blog will hit 10,000 by the time I get home. I am bringing a small suitcase for my clothes and a big one for my stamps and another one for inks, punches,and other tools and embilishments I might need for the weekend. The Event is on Saturday but I am going Friday through Sunday. I can't wait to get away for the weekend and stamp and shop. My Michael's doesn't have the clear stamps so I am planning on finding some in LA. I don't know if I will be posting anything between now and Monday but we will see. I have a lot to do this week to get the kids ready to spend the weekend alone with dad. NFL draft this weekend so y'all know where he will be. LOL
