LOVEly Giveaway :)

Sorry I'm a little late posting this morning (and the giveaway day of ALL days! LOL). Hubby went to emergency this morning -- hurt his knee and he's suppose to fly out to work on Sunday -- yeah, ONE OF THOSE DAYS! Poor guy, he's in major pain. :( He's not even sure what happened.... hopefully the Dr's will be able to put him all back together again :)
I thought with Valentine's Day around the corner I'd make my giveaway friday useful for that occassion. SO... a couple of inspiration sheets with hearts & V'day themes as well as some scallop punched pieces in lovey-dovey colors & a heart brass template. :)

To enter, you just need to leave me a comment - let me know what your next item on your wish list is :) Mine is a rather BIG ONE... been saving my pennies for a Canon Rebel XTi.... *sigh*.... one day. :) I'm also really wanting the set "sweet celebration" from Stampin' Up!...with Sale-a-bration here it's the *perfect* time :)
Enjoy your weekend!

Friday's Freebie :)

So far I have had no luck in giving out my prizes.... so please remember to check back on MONDAY to see if you've WON :)! If prizes aren't claimed in two weeks from drawn date, I'll put them back in the basket for a prize later on :) Sound good? :) The weekend has arrived and with the snow still on the ground I'm thinking soccer games will be cancelled tomorrow (inside I'm screaming yahoooooo-- a REAL day off! LOL). Flooring is due to go down TODAY. Yesterday it was suppose to start but our installer got stuck in the snow :( .... everyone east of BC must laugh at us. A few measely inches on the ground and the whole island is a mess -- !

I know my blog is a mish-mash of this & that - cards, challenges, scrapbooking, house jargen, recipes, babbling.... so my question for this giveaway is... do you like blogs that have specific things on a particular day (example - friday freebies, wednesday's challenge, thursday a recipe....) or are you all about the stamping and could care less about the other stuff :) LOL. ONTO the *freebie* -- this week I thought I'd offer up 20 inspiration sheets. Yes, some of them are retired sets that are used, but they're still excellent in providing a sketch for you to follow and create. I've even done inspiration nights where you have to follow a sheet, make the cards shown USING a DIFFERENT stamp set than the one given. It's amazing how the cards come out. Look forward to chatting with you :)

remember to check back and see if you've won on Monday. I'll post some cards I made the other day saturday and sunday so you can pop in and visit then too :)

Freebie.

Don't you love Fridays :) Ahhhh.... with the crazy week we've had here with sickness I am so looking forward to some weekend time (not to mention DADDY COMES HOME ON SUNDAY!) Countdown is on -- two more sleeps. :)

OK, soooo.... here are the treats to win this week.

These are unmounted (just the rubber) stamps. If you haven't worked with unmounted stamps before you can simplify it by just using double-sided tape on them, a block and then use a mousepad or something to give you a bit of cushion if you're needing it. These are a few expression stamps: thanks, thanks, Congrats!, and Stamped by me for you!

Last friday I had you leave a comment about what you've been working on these days and I was thrilled to have 30 comments by draw time! woohooo! I love to hear from you. Today, I'd like you to tell me what you're MOST USED "stamping/scrapping" item is. Aside from stamps, ink & paper cutter (we use those items EVERY TIME we stamp! LOL).... for me, I'd have to say a coloring medium. I love to color. I flip-flop between my watercolor crayons (love 'em!) and my Prismacolor Pencils. I'm slowly starting to get some COPIC marker, but have yet played enough to be proud of anything! LOL. It's not as easy as it looks! :)

I still haven't heard from Sandy, last weeks winner.... so SANDY.... :) I need your snail mail address.
Enjoy your weekend --

Also known as blog candy! My husband the other day asked me what "blog candy" was. It's a treat -- free of calories! :) So here is my first giveaway:

All you need to do to 'enter' the draw is to leave me a comment - tell me what you're working these days. :)

Thanks Ladies!
