Blog Candy Winner!

Yesterday was the last day to get in on the draw for my blog candy and I just want to say thanks to everyone who participated. Welcome to the new followers....I hope you'll stick around so that I can get to know you better! I've already quickly visited your blogs if you have them but will be visiting again soon!

I was going to use a random integer generator to pick the winner, but I stated that if you were already a follower then you are eligible to win! So in order to get everyone in on the draw, I just wrote the names on slips of paper and waited for my husband to get home from work to draw one for me! So, without further ado the winner is...........






ROXY!!!!


Congratulations!! Just e-mail me your mailing address and I will get your goodies in the mail to you. Bet ya she's doin' a little happy dance right now! :)

Layout # 100 2010 Layout Challenge & BLOG CANDY!

I can't believe this is my 100th layout this year.....only 20 to go! When I started this challenge I wasn't completely sure that I could do it but now I know I can! To top it all off, I am celebrating my 1st anniversary of blogging! I think that calls for a little blog candy, don't you? I will photograph and post the picture of the "candy" on Friday, but for now, here is how you can win. Become a follower and leave a comment below to earn one entry - if you're already a follower you will get one entry as well. Then, tell all your friends about my candy giveaway. For every friend that becomes a follower and leaves a comment here indicating that you've sent them, you'll get another entry! If I reach 100 followers, I will add another prize! Man, I feel like Santa Claus! The only stipulation is that only Canadian addresses will be eligible to win due to the high cost of shipping outside Canada. November 30th, 2010 will be your last day to enter!

Edit: OK, the picture of the candy is here for everyone to see! Tons of great winter/Christmas paper including some from Close To My Heart, My Minds Eye (some glitter ones!), Echo Park, etc. Lots of cardstock as well, various brands including CTMH, Core'dinations, Echo Park, & Prism. "Candy Cane" and "Christmas Borders" Cuttlebug embossing folders, American Crafts mini album, CTMH Opaque Pearls, various ribbons and fibers, borders from Bazzill, misc. embellishments.

My "MPQ Choice Auction" Basket!

For those of you who missed my earlier post, I am a fairly new quilter, having only machine sewed a few quilt tops at this point. I am now a member of the Manitoba Prairie Quilters, a fantastic group of very talented women who share their knowledge and provide me with tons of inspiration! This year we are hosting a Quilt Show at CanadInns Polo Park on April 9, 10, and 11 which I will not be able to attend because I am in Gimli that weekend scrapbooking with Kim's Scrappin' Studio! But I wanted to participate somehow, so I am donating this basket valued at over $200 for the Choice Auction. If you want to win it, go check out the quilt show - there are beautiful quilts on display, the auction, a boutique where our members are selling handmade items, a couple of vendors, and raffles. I also have tickets for the quilt raffle ("Bali Sea Star" 60 x 71" valued at $695) if anyone is interested. Good Luck!!!
