Are You Having Any Luck ?

Just curious to see if you have had any problems entering any of the giveaways. Sometimes (to me) the instructions are a tad confusing.

Have you won anything from the postings here on the blog ?

Have you discovered anything new to you from the badges and blinkies ?

What else would you like to see here ?

The comment section has been changed, I thought it took up alot of space. Just click where it says comments, then add yours. I'd really like to get feedback on how this is working for you.

Now for a little nap before I go to Coffee and Cards. Every Saturday, Joani, my CTMH demo, sets up at a cool local coffee shop, and we do 3 cards for $5, and buy a beverage. Small group, usually 10 or less, the stuff is already cut for us, we just glue, stamp, color and embellish. And talk. ALOT !!

One more before bed

Wanted to get this one out before I passed out on the keyboard. Don't laugh, it's happened ! I get the PaperWishes newsletter, and just about every time they have new paper lately, they have a downloadable PDF of some really spiffy tags. I like to print mine on either Kraft paper (kinda dark) or Bristol Vellum. It's not real vellum, it's a 9 x something good sturdy paper, so if you have a regular printer, you have to trim it down. So, on to the download Paper Wishes downloadable Tags If you get their newsletter, just type free downloads, and it pops up the papers that have the tags. This particular set is called Christmas splendor, and they are bee-yoo-tee-full !! I'm thinking good white or vanilla cardstock to print on this time. Hope you can find some use for them, would love to see what you do, send me a link or a picture.

Kittens are waiting on me

Free Downloads

From Crafter's Companion  a 6 page PDF download of papers and sentiments and Peter Rabbit images designed to be used with their Winter Wonderland stamp set, but you could do anything with them. Other downloads are instructions and such for those of you who might own the Crafter's companion. It's a little pricey for me, but watch one of the videos on the home page, it's pretty cool.

Really Lovin' Imaginisce !

And there's still more to come with a tutorial tomorrow and the final day of the release party on Saturday, still chances to win ! Now for this moment's fun from their webpage/FB ""Today we'd like to celebrate ALL THINGS PINK...so you will win a box full of yummy Imaginisce PINK products. All you need to do is leave a comment on our FaceBook Wall about your favorite Enchanted project you've seen this week on our blog! We'll pick the winner off FACEBOOK for today!""  HERE

Oh Happy Day !

From Imaginisce :" Jump over to the Oh My Crafts blog today and tell them which IMAGINISCE tool is your favorite and why!?? Then come back here and tell us you left them a comment. Winner will receive one of the new i-bond cordless glue guns."     OK..now here's a kicker, the Imaginisce notice says which IMAGINISCE tool is your favorite, and the Oh My Crafts blog says which TOOL is your favorite. Don't know if they are individually picking comments, or just using the random generator. At any rate, there were 90 comments already when I posted....so, start HERE and follow the directions.

Edited to Add: Oh My Crafts is giving away a Bo Bunny Toolkit, so there's 2 prizes up for grabs. Let's all cross our fingers and toes !

Just a Polite Request

I haven't been "in business" here very long, and I'm not really good at math, but I'm thinking that my 7 loyal followers haven't made almost 400 visits in one month. I'm doing this because I want to, and because I enjoy it. What I'm asking is if you take the time to come look at my blog, and partake of the offers I have found and posted for everybody, at least leave a comment, and at least consider becoming a follower. One day I'll have alot more to offer besides offers, but I think what's being posted right now is pretty good. I'm just not feelin' the love..........

Essential to Crafters

Home for the Holidays  Folgers Coffee is giving some lucky folks a free ride home for the holidays. Just write 200 words or so telling them why you want to go home. I'm already home, but I know that alot of your families are spread over the continent and in some cases, the world. Click the green link takes you to the submission form,  go to the FB page and grab a sample of free Folgers coffee. I remember the old percolator from my childhood days, watching the coffee pop up in the little glass thingie on the top, and my mom hollering "oh %$&^ when she realized the top wasn't on and the coffee was percolating onto the counter. Sure miss those days. Wish Santa would bring me a Keurig for Christmas !

Where I was, and why it's important

I'm usually on my laptop about 8 - 10 hours a day. Last week I went to a couple of doctor appointments, and yesterday I had another. I get to travel 125 miles to the VA hospital, fun trip. Last week I had a mammogram and afterwards, they not only called me, they called my mom to get ahold of me. There was a "spot" on the mammogram that shouldn't have been there. So, they scheduled me for some alternate views and an ultrasound . The next day I had a colonoscopy, and they removed 3 polyps. My father passed away from colon cancer at the age of 53, I've had benign polyps before, and so has my sister. Still waiting for the biopsy. Fast forward to yesterday, where I got excellent treatment at the Breast Health Institute at Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD. They showed me the scans, they answered every question, squished me 5 more times, ultrasounded me, consulted the doctor twice, then he came in and ultrasounded me. Result : 2 benign and harmless cysts requiring no treatment.

SO : If you are told by your doctor that you need a colonoscopy, get one. The preparation is gross and nasty, but it can save your life. If they tell you to get a mammogram, get one. It's a little strange seeing yourself be squished into a pancake, but it can save your life. If you don't have health insurance or cannot afford these tests, and you need to have them done, ask for ways to have them done at a lower cost or free. IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE !

We now return you to StampinOnThePrairie.............

Okay,,,I made a decision !

From this point forward, when I want to send you somewhere, the link will be in the post, it will be larger than the rest of the text, and it will be green. It will (in theory, I'm not perfect) take you right to where you need to be. If where you need to be is farther down the page, I'll let you know left, right, down, etc. Does that work for you, my sweet followers ?

It's not you, it's me

The worst thing about Blogger is the power to change. Sometimes there aren't enough options, sometimes too many. SO, if this thing looks whacked out, or different every time, I've gotten bored and decided to change. The one thing that's driven me nuts is the music player. It never fits where I want it to, if I put it at the bottom, you have to scroll all the way down to turn it off. If it's at the top, it hogs up the space. If you change the width or the template layout...well, let's not go there ! So, I'm working and paring down, trying to give you a better experience when you visit, and find something I like that I don't have to mess with every other day.
