{I didn't forget....}

Have you been wondering if I would ever give away any prizes? I bet you thought I was only going to wait a day maybe two, right. Yea...that was my plan, but well, it's been busy ok! What have I been doing you ask? Well, cutting out 160 cards to start. So, every 6 weeks or so (I know it's been longer than that, way longer, but from now on every 6 weeks or so.... I promise), I do this little thing I call card night. I design and do all the prep work for 10 cards (usually 5 cards and we make 2 of each). I provide all the supplies and you come and stamp and put together your cards. Ten cards for $10, plus it's a girls night out. I enjoy doing it and it helps me keep up on my Stampin' Up! minimums. But, this time there were quite a few people who planned on coming and couldn't make it, so I've been working on their cards for the last few days.

That would be 46 cards done.

and only 28 to go! Maybe I'll get them done while I'm waiting on the Dish Network guy tomorrow?

Anyhow, it's kept me just a bit busy. Plus I do have to admit..... I loved all the comments I've received this last week.... an all time record for me. Hmmmm, maybe I should give things away more often if I wanna feel the love? No really, thanks for all your comments, it was so fun to see what you remembered and liked. ARE YOU READY? I know you are on the edge of your seats. And the winner is, oh, I forgot, I decided to pick two since there were so many to choose from, so.......MEGAN and KIM C. , come on down and claim your prizes! What kind of cards do you want, birthday, thank you, anything, a combo of all of the above, or do you just want me to surprise you? You tell me my friends and you'll get them! I'm also adding in a few additional prizes. I had 3 people comment for the first time ever, and they will all be receiving a small little thank you....Wendy, Kim and Michelle. I have to admit I almost fell off my chair when I saw that Wendy commented. She has been reading my blog from the start I think, and has NEVER left a comment! Thanks again guys, I really do love you all :)

{1 Year Bloggy-versary}

It's my 1 year bloggy-versary! Wow, it doesn't seem like I've been doing this for a year? Where did the time go? I've learned a lot this last year....about myself, about all my bloggy friends, about computer stuff. I've learned comments can make my day, and no comments tend to make me sad. I've learned that you always feel better after you vent away on the blog. I've met new friends, and been re-acquainted with old friends. I've learned I can't please everyone that reads my little blog, and that's ok. Mostly, I've learned that blogging makes me happy!

To show all of you how grateful I am that you continue to read my blog, I'm going to do a give away! I thought and thought about what I could give you, but well, I just kept coming back to.........you guessed it, cards! So, (yes I'm copying Ann here), leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite post from this past year was, and I'll draw to see who the lucky winner is and let you know in my next post. Any comments are welcome, newcomers, stalkers, anonymous (just leave your name, so I can get you your prize if you win), I just love comments! Here's to another great bloggy year!

** This is a completely random assortment of cards I just grabbed from my stash. They won't necessarily be the ones I send you, unless, of course, you happen to want these?**
