FFFC Blog Hop Candy Winner

Hello.

This is just a short posting to announce the winner of my wee candy.

We had a 'Spring Colours' Blog Hop a few weeks ago at the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge and the DT gals had offered candies of their own.  I used the Random Number Generator to pick the winner of mine from among those who commented on my Blog Hop posting.

And so...Number 31 on my list happens to be:

Hello!  Happy Sunday and Happy April.

It's time to announce the winner to my 3rd Blogavery Candy.  This is what the winner will be getting...

I have made a draw using the Random.Org's True Random Number Generator, but me being a computer dummy I can't figure out how to put a picture of the result in this posting.  (I go through this every year, spend hours trying to figure out and then gave up...LOL.)

Anyway, the number generated is 133, so congratulations to:

JULES

Jules, please e-mail me your mailing address--snail mail...LOL (link to my e-mail address is near the top of my left side bar).  Put "Blog Candy Winner" in the subject line, please. 

If I do not here from Jules by next Sunday, April 8/12, I will make another draw on the following Monday.  

Thanks to all who participated.

Bye for now.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hello!

Sorry I have been ignoring my blog. I have had to work right up until Friday and since then have been doing a lot of shopping and cooking. And whenever I got around to my computer, I got distracted by looking on-line for the best boxing-day deal for a tv. Yup, since my tv went kablooie..LOL, I am in market for a new tv and this is the perfect time to get it--either on-line or by personal shopping. Anyway, enough blah blah blah....

I have a few minutes here before I am off to my sister's place with my potluck dishes, so I just want to wish those of you who celebrate Christmas a very Happy Christmas and the rest of you a Happy Holiday. Enjoy yourself and please stay safe!

Hugs,

Candy winners

Happy Saturday!

I have drawn the 2 winners to my Blogoversary and Birthday Candy. I had 427 entries. I used the Random Integer Generator. The 2 numbers drawn are:

Thank you everyone for participating. Have a wonderful and productive weekend.

Blogoversary and Birthday Candy

Hello!

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.

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!
