No Time To Stamp?

I realize I am way overdue in providing some Blog Candy.  As I don’t have a ton of product from a lot of companies as some might, I thought I would just give what I have — and that is — surprise, surprise — something I made!  And I’ll be perfectly honest with you, this trio of boxes is the most very favorite thing I have made in a long, long time.  So, the winner will receive this trio of boxes, shipped to you safely packaged in a Priority Box (assuming you are in the USA — foreigners, you ARE welcome to enter as well).  Here they are:

To makes these boxes I used 12 x 12 Prismatics papers by Prism, a 6 x 6 pad of Periphery Designer Paper by Basic Grey, and a stamp set called Flourished Elements by Flourishes.  This is the link to my prior post on these boxes, which tells you more about them and gives the measurements on how to score them if you’d like to make your own.  Both the Periphery Paper and Flourished Elements can be purchased at Flourishes.

OK, now to be in the drawing to win this trio of boxes, all you have to do is leave a comment below, telling me what is your favorite style of card that you are hoping to find when you Blog hop — that’s it!  One comment per person please, but I’ll leave this open until 10 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday night, Feb. 16, after which time I will select a winner with a random number generator.  I’ll post the winner as soon as it is selected.

Ok, that’s it!!!!  Good luck!!!  (And tomorrow’s post SHOULD be a file box for my Bible Verse Index Cards with a template/tutorial).

Yes, confessions — of a bad Blogger — and that would be me!  I so love posting here and hearing from all of you - so many of you regulars, I really feel like I know you — and it’s MY pleasure!!!  I try real hard to keep up with all of you — oh, but I fail so dismally — there just are not enough hours in a day!!!  You are all so very kind — and that kindness extends beyond comments and emails — it flows over into games and awards and things of that nature — and I have received so very, very many in the past several weeks that I have not properly acknowledged or *played back* — tag games, Awards of Excellence, and You Make My Day Awards — you are all familiar.  When the first couple came in a few weeks ago, as I am reading them in the wee hours of  the morning, it is so easy to think *I’ll do it tomorrow* — well, we all know how that goes — then a few more come in — and I now find myself with something over 20+ games and awards that I haven’t *played back*, and I realize I am in over my head, so it’s time to just say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!  and I’m so sorry I was a poor sport and didn’t play back immediately. 

As far as the YOU MAKE MY DAY Awards — well, let me tell you, each and every one of you MAKE MY DAY each and every day as you stop in and give me the encouragement to keep on creating and sharing —  

As far as the AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE– well, there are so many excellent Blogs out there and so many excellent stampers and paper crafters — and I think we all know that as we could easily spend all of our waking hours cruising the Blogs and Galleries –

So, to play back, I’ve come up with a different idea as a combined response to all I have received – 

Today, let us honor the BRAND NEW BLOGGERS – and I know there are a lot of you out there as I discover new Blogs every day.  Let us all lend some encouragement to those who are just starting their Blogs.  So please, if you are a brand new Blogger OR a Blogger who has been around awhile and are just having a hard time getting going, POST YOUR BLOG LINK as a comment and I’d love to take a peek at what you have to share, and I’m willing to bet there are a lot of others out there who’d like to see what you’re up to as well!  I have discovered so many true gems with brand new or under-read Blogs!!!  I think this will be fun!!!

(You are certainly welcome to still leave a comment even if you don’t have a Blog to link!)

And I am way overdue to provide all of you wonderful folks with some BLOG CANDY!!!  I’m headed to do that right when I’m done here, so it’ll be posted shortly in a separate post - I want to keep these posts separate.

Oh, one more thing!!!  Did you know the SCS Elves in Canada are STILL working?  Last week I received a wonderful Elf package from Canada.  I thought Elves hibernate or something after Christmas???  LOL!!!  It’s a wonderful tin filled with all sorts of goodies — GORGEOUS crystals, and Bellas and some adorable acrylic stamps, to name a few!!! Thank you so much, whoever you are!!!  (And if you’d care to reveal yourself, I’d love to know!!!)  THANK YOU!!!

OK, now –Let the Blog Postings begin!!!!
