Yikes...I've been too busy working on something for the Magnolia-licious Easter-Spring Extravaganza (have you check this out? If not go here--not to be missed!) that I'm late making this posting.
March is a celebration month for me. Two days this month that I take note of:
1. My blogoversary--this past Sunday marked my 2 years at blogging...woo-hoo...it sure doesn't feel like it. Because I'm continually learning (and hopefully improving myself), I still feel like a newbie...hee hee.
2. My birthday on the 25th. Yikes, another year older! It's okay though, I actually look forward to it. The way I look at it (and I've been doing this for the past 1½ decades), each birthday takes me another year closer to early retirement...hee hee. And then...yes! I'll have all the time in the world for crafting (I'm counting on it!)--I'm almost giddy about this!!
Anyway, enough blabbering. For the past several months, I've been collecting crafty items for this, just things that I can afford buying them when they're on sale, duplicate items that I've mistakenly bought or ordered, etc. I figured if I do it a bit at a time, I won't notice the cost...LOL. I've been filling up what I call my "candy box". I've now taken those items and divided them into 2 candy sets, one for by blogoversary and the other for my birthday.
Candy #1
includes the following items:
Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page Set String Lace
Prima Flowers Summer Mix
Making Memories Antique Copper Square 2 Decorative Brads
Making Memories Vintage Silver Metal Findings
Making Memories Ribbon & Ribbon Charms Pink
Tim Holtz Distress Stickles Foundry
Cuttlebug Embossing Borders Organic Flourish
2 Studio G Clear Stamps Sets
3 Studio G Rhinestones
Inkadinkado Clear Stamps Set Dogs
Handicraft Lace
Candy #2
includes the following items:
Martha Stewart Large Punch Icelandic Snowflake
Prima Flowers Summer Mix
Making Memories Antique Copper Square 2 Decorative Brads
Making Memories Vintage Gold Metal Findings
Making Memories Ribbon & Ribbon Charms Pink
Tim Holtz Distress Stickles Foundry
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Florished Frame
2 Studio G Clear Stamps Sets
3 Studio G Rhinestones
Magnolia Stamp Tilda on Elbows
K&Company Brenda Walton Madeline Clear Stamp Set.
Prima Flowers Summer Mix
Making Memories Antique Copper Square 2 Decorative Brads
Making Memories Vintage Gold Metal Findings
Making Memories Ribbon & Ribbon Charms Pink
Tim Holtz Distress Stickles Foundry
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Florished Frame
2 Studio G Clear Stamps Sets
3 Studio G Rhinestones
Magnolia Stamp Tilda on Elbows
K&Company Brenda Walton Madeline Clear Stamp Set.
This candy is open to anybody and everybody who visits me. And if you are reading this, then you ARE visiting me...LOL. Just add your name into the Inlinkz below. That's it. Easy peasy!!! No need to be a follower if you're not already one. If you enjoy looking at my work, I would love it if you follow my blog, but that's entirely up to you.
I will randomly draw 2 names at the end of the month...this candy will close on March 31, 2011, one minute before midnight (Pacific Daylight Savings Time). I'll announce the winners on Saturday, April 2nd.
Good luck!
