Inking Around

Blog Candy

Okay, I put everyone's name in that left a comment on my blog plus those that had qualifying orders and the winner of the level 2 stamp set is Michele DePasqua.  Congratulations!!!!

My husband and I had such a fun and relaxing Stampin' Up! cruise.  I met some wonderful new demonstrator friends and got some really good ideas to share with everyone.  Unfortunately, I'm still trying to get caught up on things since returning.  But hopefully I will be able to pull out my stamps and play on Friday.  I was suppose to be off all day but I have to meet with a client in the morning but I'm going to give myself some stamping time in the afternoon. Then my plan is to get postings set up again to share some of the projects plus I have all kinds of things that haven't been posted over the last couple of month.  I'm also going to show a few highlights from the cruise.

Thanks for visiting.  Have a great day!!!

Blog Candy & the Stampin' Up! cruise

Tomorrow my husband I will set sail on the Stampin' Up! cruise.  We actually flew in to San Juan, Puerto Rico yesterday and had a wonderful day in Old San Juan today.  It was so nice to get away and I hate to admit it but we even took a nap this afternoon.  Believe me this vacation is much needed.  To thank everyone for your support I'm offering some blog candy.  I will be giving away the level 2 stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog called Picnic Parade.  You will love this adorable set.  Just leave me a comment and you will be entered in the drawing.  I'll announce the winner on Monday, May 3rd.

I'm also offering a great special.  Place an order between Sunday, April 25th and Sunday, May 2nd and you pay the price in the catalog, no shipping and no tax.  If you place an on-line order you won't be able to get the discount on your order but I'll give you the amount of the discount to use on a future order.  Plus for every order of $50 in merchandise you will get another entry for my blog candy.  Just e-mail me your order or place your order on my website.  I'll place one order on April 30th for anyone that has sent an order by then and then I'll place a second order on Sunday, May 2nd when I return home.

Thanks for visiting and hopefully I'll have my blog up and running again shortly.  I'm ready to get back to sharing all kinds of fun things and I'm sure I'll have some fun ideas to share from the cruise.

Blog Candy Time

Okay, it is time for some blog candy.  I've been wanting to do something for awhile but just had to get through my busy time at work, so now I can offer a little something to all my blog readers.  I'm offering the fabulous level 3 set called Window Dressing to the winner of the blog candy.

   

Isn't it adorable.  All you need to do is leave a comment on this post.  I've decided since Thanksgiving is just around the corner let's start getting in the mood by telling me what you are thankful for.  I think so many times we forget to take a step back and realize how truly blessed we are.  I know for one I'm blessed with a wonderful family and so many great friends and since moving into our new neighborhood in May I can also say I have the best neighbors.  So what are you thankful for.  Let me know and you could be the winner.  I'll draw the winner on Monday, October 27th at 5:00 pm and post the winner on Tuesday.  If I receive any duplicate posts I'll simply delete the second post.  I do monitor my posts to avoid any issues so don't worry if it takes a little bit before your post shows up.  Once I post the winner they will have 3 days to respond before I pick another winner so make sure you check back on Tuesday the 28th.

Thanks for visiting.  Have a great day!!!

Blog Candy Winner

The winner of the fabulous stamp set is:

JENNIFER WALKER

Congratulations Jennifer please contact me before Friday and we will get that set to you.  If I don't hear back from Jennifer then I'll draw another name on Friday.

Here are a few more cards from the Rose Cottage kit.  I just love the designer paper in this kit.  It makes it so easy to come up with cute cards.

We have been busy moving in.  We are hoping to actually start staying in our new house on Saturday.  Hopefully, I can then get my craft area set up right away so that we can start meeting for classes and clubs.  I have great plans for my area but unfortunately it will take a little time before it is all done.  I guess I'll just have to be patient, which is not easy for me.  I want my room now!!!  At least I'll get it in working order, it just won't be pretty yet.  My husband is trying to convince me to just spray paint the ceiling instead of putting up wallboard but I won't go for that.  I hope he is just kidding but for some reason I don't think he is.  Oh well, hopefully in the not too distant future I'll have a fabulous stamping area.

I should have internet at the new house soon which will help me get back to a regular schedule with my blog.  I have some good ideas for things to add.  I just need to get settled in. Thanks for visiting.  Have a great day!!! 

Win a free stamp set - blog candy

Okay, thank you all for your patience during my little break from posting.  Also, I was able to celebrate 5 fabulous years as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator at the end of April.  So to thank all of you I'm offering some wonderful blog candy. 

You can win this great level 2 set called Thanks Tons.  You can only get this set by hosting a $300 Stampin' Up! workshop so it is not easy to get.  All you have to do is tell me something fun you plan to stamp during the Summer.  Do you have a special project or technique that you are going to work on?   I won't hold you to it, but just let me know what you are planning.  I'll tell you that I would like to get my family trip to Disney World in our scrapbook. Now I've let you all know so you can bug me all Summer long until I do it. 

Just leave your comment in this post.  I will draw a winner one week from today on May 19th and post the winner on the 20th.  Only one entry per person so If there are any double posts I'll throw out the duplicate entry.  Good luck and have fun sharing your Summer projects with me.

Thanks for visiting.  Have a great day!!!

I'd start to make birthday cards for my friends and family with these stamps. I've recently started stamping and since it was the end of the year I mostly bought christmasstamp. These stamps could be used for so many occasions!

So Dee please e-mail me your address and I'll get that stamp set right out to you.  If I haven't heard back from Dee by Tuesday night then I'll draw a new winner.  So check back to see if you will have a second chance at the set.

Thanks for your comments on this great set.  Dee will have lots of ideas to use once she receives the set.
