Can you believe it...I have been blogging for exactly one full year! Well, I can't believe it. I started out once a week and now I post usually 6 days a week. During that time, I was honored to be chosen for four Design teams, Retro Cafe Art, Flying Unicorn, 100 Proof Press stamps and Gingersnap Creations. Gingersnap Creations was my very 1st one. I have learned so much and gained such wonderful friends. I have laughed, been inspired and even cried with you and that's what makes you true friends. So, I decided to have a big candy giveaway to celebrate with 3 prizes and will ship anywhere in the world. Now you know my stash is pretty big so in the prize there will be all kinds of fun things from pen nibs, vintage music sheets, ribbons, buttons, blank cards, stickers, fiber, fabric flowers and lots and lots more. The grand prize has over 50 different things. The runner up prize 1 and 2 have quite alot too!
All you need to do is post a comment below. For additional chance to win please post my announcement below with a link to this post somewhere on the sidebar of your blog. Oh and you need to be a follower too. If you use facebook that's another chance to win too. Just write a separate comment for each way you have entered. I will pick random winners, 3 of them! on Oct 1st!
I decided to show more pics of my craft studio today too. There's my desk, believe me I cleaned it up for you. There are also my shelves cause I like to see everything when I create. When I'm not creating and eating bon bons on the day bed, I love to close the curtains and hid the mess. LOL. Here's a drawing I did in college , many years ago of an lovely lady "Ace Flyer". And yes, I also have a big closet with shelves for my papers, punches, scissors and 3d stuff, but that's for another day. My final pic is a pink card that I am entering in
Pink Saturday.
Well dear friends...there really is no one like you,
take care, gerri
