Anyway.........Chris over at Creating with Chrissy is celebrating blog hits and and anniversary. She has some great stamp sets to choose from if your name is picked on Sunday.

Things I am Thankful for......

It is usually around the holidays that we are asked to list the things we are thankful for. I'm not sure why, but I feel it is something we should do all year long. Starting now, I am going to list once a month, all the things I am thankful for.

Here is my list for this month.
1. Days to goof off and play with my stamps
2. My collection of stamps, paper, or whatever I can get my hands on.
3. My friends on SCS to share ideas and inspiration.

Until next time, be thankful.

My first card.........

Ok, so I've had this blog since January so I thought it was about time I posted a card. I have used all the things I wanted to win as blog candy. Martha Stewart butterfly punch and a tabletop decor kit. None of which I won so I bought them.

To celebrate my first card, I'm giving away some blog candy of one of the tabletop decor kits nad this card. Since I didn't win a kit, I went to Michael's and bought out the store. I have seven of them. Depending on how many people sign up depends on how many I give away. For every 10

people that sign up, I will give away 1 kit and so on.

The kit includes 8 place cards, 8 napkin rings, 8 votive holders, 8 vellum liners, 4 yds of paper trim, double sided adhesive. On this card I used some of the paper trim. All you have to do to win is leave a comment by July 30th, I'll pick a winner on July 31st. Simple as that. I will ship anywhere.

Blog Candy..................

Some great blog candy is being given away at simplyfarries. Not just one winner, but two peeps will win. Go check it out.

Fianlly. Here is Molly with her 3 babies. All boys. 2 gray and 1 black/white. Have not picked out names yet. The blac/white boy looks like a scotty dog so his might be scotty. No name for his brothers yet.

In this picture of our earlier set of twins, it looks like her name will be gidget ( the gray one), no name for the boy yet. We orginally wanted to name him sinatra, because he is such a lover. I'm thinking his name should be frankie.

I went from 2 goats to 7 goats in two weeks. 4 boys and 1 girl. 1 all white, 3 gray and white, and 1 black and white.

"Shout Out to SheetLoad"

You know, I just resently found them. I am so glad I did. And here is the next issue featuring Bella's. Who doesn't love Bella's. I just love the issue and you will too.

Well Mable had her babies. She had a boy and a girl. I'm told the girl is grey and weighed 5 lbs and the boy is white and weighed 6 lbs. Still waiting on pics to post. Looks like Molly is taking her time.

The babies are 24 hrs old in this picture. The white one is the boy, thegreyish one is the girl. No names yet. But my co-owner is flying in from Iraq, ans we'll name them this coming week.

What a weekend.....

I was never so glad to go back to work. Putting on a race event is hard work. Not only that, but I missed chatting with my friends on SCS. *I'm gonna have to get myself a laptop and wireless. *

Anyway. It was a great event. I had 50 students that all passed their tests and can go racing. Now if onto working on the next event.

If you are in Ohio, come on out to Nelson Ledges Road Course memorial day weekend. Should be some great racing. See about posting pics later.

Blog Candy!!!

I'm merrily going along snagging some of the images I want and I get a question. What size is the SU scallop punch I want to use on some images? Hmmmmm.......Have to go home and measure it before I answer. Anyway, that brings me to the blog candy. I participated in a SU punch cheat card swap. I picked 4 punches, so I received 4 sets of cards with an example of all the SU punches. Here is a picture of some of the cards you will receive. Since I only need 1 set, I will give away the other 3 in a random drawing. All you have to do is leave a comment. I will pick the winners on Saturday, April 12th. Good Luck!

Today I drew for the mailboxes full of punched out shapes. I put all the names in a spreadsheet and had my husband pick three numbers. Please email me your addresses so I can mail them out.

Christine
Pam
Kelly

Congrats ladies.

Yeah!!! I finally figured out how to add pictures. I started with a picture of one of my cats. Her name is Miss. Kitty and she loves to be in the sink. I will try and get pictures of the other 3 as soon as I can get them out of my stamps.

Blog Candy!!!!!

So...........I have several PIF's to give out. I decided to do something a little different for my first one. I am NOT taking the first 3 people. I will draw 3 from names, from all the posts, on April 4th . Now..........I will fill a mailbox (from target) with punched shapes. Color paper may very and most of the stamps are SU or EK. You'll just be suprised at how much can fit oin one of those things.
*now if someone could just teach me how to add pictures to my blog.......*

WOW..........

As usual, I am making my morning ritual of signing up for blog candy. I come across a website for a gal in MD. She's telling us all the great ribbons she is able to buy at the Offray Ribbon Outlet. Her blog is worth checking into. Go visit Stamping the Details for all the ribbon fun.

Every morning I visit a site called Stampin' When I Can. She always had a list of blog candy give aways. (I just need to remember to go back later in the day, the list is always updated.) While visiting all these site, there was one that had a tin full of ribbon and stickers. What a great idea ! I have a whole bunch of those mail boxes from Target. I need to start filling them and as I get one full, post a blog candy. Maybe you'll get one just letting me know what you think of my idea.

Blog candy preview

Well as it turns out, I have won several blog candies. One is a box full of goodies from Scrapbookmama. Can't wait to see what I get. I also won 2 PIF 's gifts. Once I get my goodies, I will be post for a total of 6 PIF gift boxes for my firends that post to my blog. Keep looking for the post.

Blog Candy Alert !!!!!
Coming Soon........... It seems Stamping Bella shipped my order twice. So I am going to give them away with some other goodies. Stay tuned.....You never know when it might show up.

My how time flies. I just got so caught up in a thread I found - PIF stamped images. Everyone has a list of images they will stamp and send you. Once you snag an image, you can post your list. Can I tell you, when the ladies are there, the snagging is more fun than the last few minutes of an ebay auction. I also joined a wish RAK. My stamps are getting a work out. Off to stamp. Hopefully I'll learn how to upload some of these cards I make.
