Birthday Blog Candy Winner Announced!

Scroll down to find the winner announced today, August 4, 2012

Guess what I bought myself for my Birthday? While you're at it try to guess who can't find the place where Blogger wants to find pictures to upload? Ok, first answer is an iPad!!! second answer is me! I can't for the life of me figure out why Blogger won't let me upload pictures from this thing, so ended up emailing the blog candy pic to blogger for this post. Now let's see if it worked. Oh, the deets: 1. Be a follower 2. Leave a comment on this post 3. Please spread the word about my giveaway! 4. Post the candy on your sidebar or send me a link to your other method of sharing. 5. Oh and please make sure you leave your email address if it is not on your blog. 6. Due to the high cost of postage this is open to U.S. residents only. I will leave this open until August 3rd and will use a random number generator to choose the winner. In case the picture doesn't come through and I have to try another method, there are several packages of stickers, journalling tablet, loads of seam binding ribbon, Stampin Up ribbon, micro beads, Sizzlets, Spellbinders impressibilities and much more!



The winner is....... Nana from My Crafting Channel Congratulations!

Birthday surprise from Emily!

We celebrated my birthday today even though it was on July 6th and I was surprised by these awesome necklaces made by my daughter, Emily. She has sold quite a few of these at the Farmer's Market and in our Etsy shop and I've always admired them. NOW I am the proud owner of two handmade upcycled washer necklaces! These lovelies are 2 inches wide and will surely receive loads of compliments every time I wear them!



Oh and my wonderful husband gave me a Michael's gift card. He sure knows what I like! My present to myself was a 24 hour slumber party called Crop for Hope that was a fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It was hosted by a long-time friend of mine who sells Stampin Up products. Please go take a look at her blog Stamp Crazy Girl. It was held at the Circle S Ranch bed and breakfast and let me tell ya, the place is out of this world awesome! You can go see it online at http://www.circlesranch.com/ and even take a tour of the rooms. Mine was the Kansas room here and was just steps away from the table I used for scrapping. I made an entire scrapbook for my dog, Tucker, who died last October from cancer. I'll post some pics of that later, but for now I'm ready to go play with some of my new toys!
