Here It Is!

Entry deadline has now passed!

As promised, here is the blog candy I will be giving away next Friday, January 16th! Katharina Frei, owner of Whiff of Joy Stamps, generously included the "Willow With Hot Chocolate" stamp with my last order, and since I already have that stamp, I just had to include it in the candy. :-D

So, this is what is in the package:
  • Whiff of Joy "Willow With Hot Chocolate" new, unmounted stamp
  • Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels One set
  • Spellbinders Nestabilities Curved Rectangles set
  • Pearlescent Watercolors 16 color set
  • Prima Hydrangea Blossoms, large tin (shades of pink/magenta)
  • 4 spools of ribbon
  • Tombow Mono permanent adhesive refill for runner
  • Mini Heart Punch (just in time for Valentine's Day!)
  • Flower Soft, Ivory (great for adding texture to your creations)
  • Mini fine mist sprayer
There are two ways you can win. The first is to mention my blog candy (with a link to it) on your blog and leave a comment here with the link to your blog.

Don't have a blog? No problem! Just leave a comment here with a suggestion about how I can improve my blog, like things you'd like to see or learn (maybe tutorials, more close-up photos, different layout/background/text colors, etc.). If my blog is already perfect *snicker*, you can say that, too. (LMBO!)

That's all you have to do! Just be sure to enter before midnight Pacific Time (GMT -8) Thursday, January 15th. I will use Random.org to determine the winner the following morning and announce it here.

PLEASE, ONLY ONE ENTRY PER PERSON! Edited to add: Please make sure you leave your name in the post - otherwise, how will I know who to contact? ;-) There are already 3 "Anonymous", only 2 with names!

Good luck, and THANK YOU ALL so much for visiting my humble blog! (And especially to those of you who take the time to leave comments.)

Your blog is super cute and I love your style! I can't believe I never found it before now. (Pssst... Thanks for the heads up Sara!)

Cheri Howard said...

What a wonderful candy offer! Thanks for a chance to win it!

I'm a first-time visitor, but I would suggest you maybe include a translator tool for any international visitors you have (or encourage them to come). Google Translator is a pretty good one that is compact and has lots of languages to choose from. If you place it near the top of your blog, it will allow international readers to quickly tranlate your blog to their preferred language.

Cindy E said...

Thanks, Cheri - that was an excellent suggestion!

I came across your blog when I was having a look at blogs over Christmas and linked up via a friend of a friend of a friend and am really pleased to have found it. I really like the way that you link to a product or a challenge etc - which I have started doing - as there is nothing worse than thinking well where do I find that?? All I would say is keep up the excellent work. The link to my blog is:

This is a wonderful blog with great works.
What I personally miss is a "Label List" on the one could perhaps more focused look at the great works to do to get or something already seen once again to find!

Hi Cindy

That is Fablous Candy you are offering, that is so kind of you to give away so much stuff like that.

my Suggestions to you regarding your Blog....
I would Suggest you change the layout of the way you blog.

Make the Pictures "center" all the time and "large" and then place the text above and below the pictures.
That way we will all get a better view of your stunning work.
(as at the moment i feel we are not getting to see as much as i know id like too lol)

Also Tutorials on how you colour is always a good one.

ANd Finally i have added a little post about You/Candy etc on my blog with a link directing people here which can be seen HEREits on the left hand side.

I just found your blog from Sally's and it's wonderful Cindy! Love all your cards, your colouring is beautiful. An amazing give-away, so generous of you and thanks for the chance to win. I've linked in my sidebar. I think the only thing I would mention about your (hope it's ok) is that your photographs would look even better if they were a bit bigger and took up the whole width of your posting area. Your work is stunning and I think it would have even more impact with slightly larger photographs. Chris
