Blogging…

Helllooooooo out theeeeeeere…….

Did I just hear an echo????

Not sure if anyone’s still reading this, I haven’t blogged in ages… I just don’t have time or feel inspired to write much lately. But I have taken on a position on Kristin Cronin-Barrow’s blog as a weekly writer so if you’d like to join me there every Thursday I’d love to “see” you there!

I will be doing a weekly post about journaling, and I’m hoping to really improve my journaling abilities with it myself. Usually I’m lucky if I even put a date on my layouts… lol.

The first Thursday of each month will be a journaling challenge.

Second Thursday will be filled with journaling prompts to help you along with the challenge.

On the third Thursday of the month I’ll show you my layout for the challenge.

And finally on the fourth Thursday of each month I’ll make you up a little journaling freebie

So I hope that if anyone’s still subscribed to my blog, that you will join me every Thursday at KCB’s blog!

It’s time for a Birthday Bloggy Giveaway!

Yes it is! My birthday is in about a week, so I thought it was time to have a giveaway of some of my favourite things! I love doing this, I fill a box with some of my favourite things and ship it to the randomly chosen winner! I’ll ship it anywhere, so don’t be shy about entering!

Entering is easy, just leave me a comment telling me about one of your favourite things! And just like that you will have a chance to win!

For an extra entry in the giveaway, blog about this giveaway and include a link back to this post (include the above button if you’d like!)!

Want to see what you can win? Here’s a photo of the box, all packed and ready to be mailed to one lucky winner! (A few contents may vary slightly – kind of chocolate, colour of ribbons and flavour of drink “singles”)

Included in the box is: one blank album ready for altering/scrapping in, badge holders ready to be filled with your own badge album pages, ribbons-rhinestones-tags for embellishing, a notebook made by me, my fave hand cream and some chocolate and bottled water drink mixes. And I’ll even print out some of my favourite recipes that I’ve scrapped onto beautiful recipe cards, tie them up with a ribbon and add them to the package before it gets mailed!

Deadline to enter? That would be 10 am (Mountain Time) on my birthday, July 23! So comment, blog, and spread the word!

A Crafty Pay it Forward!

Want to receive and make some crafty goodness? Anyone who’s crafty will like this! And now I have to make something too!

The first five (5) people to respond to this post will get something made by me.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully:

1. You cannot make any requests.
2. What I create will be just for you, with love.
3. It’ll be done this year (2009).
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be. It will be something made by me. It may be weird or beautiful. It might or might not be edible. I may even create something totally unbelievable and surprise you at work!! Who knows? Not you, that’s for sure!

In return, all you need to do is post this text into a Facebook note or blog post of your own and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your note/post.

IMPORTANT: This offer is null and void if I do not see you post your own Facebook note or blog post  to pay this forward. In other words, you gotta make something for other people, too. It’s like a chain letter only better. Call it a pyramid scheme if you want. It’s a pyramid of crafty goodness!

Here are some examples of some crafty goodies I like to make:
