20,000 hits + one year of blogging = BLOG CANDY!

My hit counter tells me I've just gone over 20,000 hits. Wow! And June 28 will be my blogaversary as Lorien calls it. I think those 2 things call for some blog candy! Since it's two big events at once, I'm giving away not one, two, three or even four but FIVE things.
**Just one more day to enter for the blog candy. Please post your comment by 7PM Central time Friday.**


Two people will each win half of the level one Prints hostess set. These colors are only available in the hostess set. They are Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi, Apricot Appeal, Real Red and Pretty in Pink.
One person will win 50 pieces of chipboard.
One person will win the retired level one hostess set Small Script, and one person will win the retired daisy punch.

How do you win? Leave me a comment of course! Tell me what you are hoping to see in the SU Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog coming your way on August 11. Please number your comment (current # of comments plus one) and one comment per person. The drawing will close on Friday, June 13 at 7PM Central Time.

I will try to leave this post at the top until then, so please scroll down for more recent posts.

Happy stamping!

    Just found your blog! What an awesome site, too. Congrats on the graduate. I had a GRANDSON graduate this year, too.
    I would like to see more Religous type stamp sets and maybe something special for Sympathy cards. Always have trouble with these!

    Thanks,

    I'm hoping for some type of bling (rhinestones, pearls, etc) and/or the ability to buy their stamps unmounted (for less money) since I'm running out of storage space.

    Hi Jana! This is my FIRST blog comment in my life, but had to thank you for the tooled faux leather demo; it is sooooooo helpful. I've never heard about blog candy before, but hope #19 will be a lucky number for me! I'm hoping to see some "partial cut" punches in the new catty, like butterflies with just the wings cut so they lift out from the card to give dimension.....
