Biggest GIVEAWAY ever!!!!!!!

.

I'm speechless. I can't even believe that there is something this large being given away.
For free.

You're all going to love this. Oh, how I wish I could enter.

(I need to let every last friend and family member know about this.......and somehow brainwash them into thinking that they should give it to me if they win. Hahaha... :))

Good grief.....I could put this to some good use.



Do you see what this is? It's a Workbox from The Original Scrapbox. Do you have crafting clutter everywhere? (I admit.....I do. And it makes me crazy.) This amazing workbox organizes your supplies, hides it all for you, and then rolls away on wheels if you need it to. This workbox is valued at $1295.00 but you have a chance to win one for free. Wow. I'm speechless. (And you get to pick your own color and style. Eeeee!)

But there's more. You can enter to win this workbox here and at 9 other participating blogs listed below. And on October 10th, each of us (10 blogs total) will select a winner who will win their choice of:

A ScrapMaBob, the perfect little addition to any work table. Attaches to the edge and holds your drink and all of the trash/debris that you acquire while crafting.



OR


A Ribbon Box, which is that absolute perfect place to store all of your messy ribbon. Ahhh....finally.


And then all of those 10 winners (one each from all 10 blogs) will be entered into the final drawing, where one of the 10 will be selected to win the Workbox on October 12th (even though they all just won their choice of a ScrapMaBob or a Ribbon Box).

Got it? Wow.

So if you're a crafter, a seamstress, a scrapper, a quilter, or a hobbyist of any kind........you are going to fall in love with the Workbox. So nice and neat........and darn beautiful all hidden away.


Also, this contest is open to residents of UK and EU countries as well as the United States and Canada.

Cards

This is a simple card I made a stack of for my mom. I've used this layout many times for this stamp set, and love doing the black white and color. It gives it a classic look!



The circles use the 1 3/8" punch, and 1" punch. I love the funky touch it gives.



So today upon looking at my blog I have almost 12000 hits?? The other day it was just at 1250, weird.... But If all of a sudden I have a fan base that likes looking at my stuff, great, but 11000 hits in a week.....

Blog

A blog I follow has a giveaway. The Shabby Nest is celebrating post no. 300! I love her stuff, she has the same style I have, and she sells these awesome pillows on Etsy. I'm a huge fan of her! To check out the giveaway and all her wonderful things, visit her blog here.

My New Watch

Thanks to my good friend Sally and her mom, I have a new watch. Sally's mom has tons of beads and jewelry supplies. So we'll get together for a girls night out and go to town! I reworked this watch for a long time to make it just right and I love it! I also learned how to use clamps and tie off the ends with the clamp and wire. I can't wait until we can do this again. I have no supplies myself and it would be a huge investment right now to get set up. I'll stick with stamping!
