I keep hearing that the first poster never wins, but here's hoping! What an awesome prize, Michele!
I already have subscribed to your blog via google reader...I never miss a post (i love google reader!)
Hmmm...something about myself.
Oh, I just got two cards accepted for publication today. I love the opportunity there is in papercrafting!
That and I teach piano lessons, which I also love. Thanks for sharing with us!

Stephanie aka Nerdette said...

I just happened across your site today. I love your stuff.

About me: I am very new to the card making and Blog world, but am loving all the inspiration and great talent that is out there. It's so great to be part of such a talented and HUGE community, but I need to make more time to do my new passion. Anyone want to watch my 3 kids for me while I stamp? No? Oh well, can't say I didn't try!

I have some pencil crayons I have been thinking of giving out as Blog candy, but I don't have enough visitors to my site yet.

Hi Michele!! Yummy Candy!!

Well a little about me I am a stay at home mom although I do have a little girl i daycare from 7:30 to 3:30 everyday, so even though my kids are in school full time I do not have a minute to myself, which leaves me very little stamp time, as my studio is in the basement and she is too young to take into a room like that or leave up stairs. However i do get time for burling!!

Probably more then you wanted to know!! Guess I should be happy at least I am at home, OK yes I am happy!!

Allison Rankin said...

Hey Michele! I feel like my blog makes me an open book...I am so "out there"! Anyhoo, I am a technical writer who works begrudgingly, a crafter a lil' too devoted to her hobby and, most importantly, a mommy and wife to some great people! Cheers!

Wow, talk about *visions of nestabilites*running through my head! lol
I'm pretty much a SAHM of a 14yr old and a 2yr old that loves to stamp and blog surf, and stamp vicariously through others! lol LOVE your blog and look fwd to it every day!!!
Keep up the great work!

Awesome blog candy. I am a nurse who doesn't work. I have 2 grown kids and 2 grands. I have 2 doggies and a husband (look who's last!! That is bad, cause he is #1 in my life). I enjoy stamping but need to CASE as I can't come up with original ideas. I change things up with the stamps and papers I have tho. Thanks for sharing your talents on this blog.

Great blog! Wow count me in on this sweet candy! I've subscribed through google reader. A little bit about me...um...um...I'm a blog surfer and just love to make cards, altered items, and anything that doesn't move.

Denise ~ Paper Ponderings said...

Oh, oh, oh...the nestabilities are at the top of my want list at the moment. A little about myself...hmmm...I love paper crafting, I am a SAHM mom and a homeschooling mom to two of my four; I schooled the two oldest until high school. I live in Oregon and can't imagine living anywhere else. I love the rain, the ocean, the mountains (considered hills by my hubby who grew up in Montana). I hope to actually scrapbook some eventually, but I just love making cards!! I've been married for 23 years...hard to believe it has been that long!!! I have a degree in elementary education and special ed. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

Lisa Bohler said...

What a fabulous offer! I am a SU demo for two plus years but have been a serious stamper since 1996 and I LOVE it!

Michelle said...

Michele, what a cool blog candy giveaway!!

About me? Geez. I'm indian, of the American variety, card carrying tribe member even. It took me a long time to get through college. I had three kids and full time job, so it took until I was 31 to graduate. I still take classes. I love school, because I'm a dork. That enough?

What a fandamntastic prize! Nesties! Woo Hoo! I'm 60 years young and was a sewer, quilter, dollmaker all my life since childhood. A year ago this little rubber stamp and papercrafting bug bit me and I am infected "real good!" I love it all. My only problem is time and staying in good health to accomplish all I want to do. All the blogs help so much!

What FAB candy! I have subscribed to you via email so that I don't have to open my Google Reader to read your posts... Something about me: By day I manage 3 departments of a public library; by night (after ds is in bed) I'm a stamper - still learning, but getting there!

Anonymous said...

Oohhh! What nice blog candy. Would use all those things. I'm a wife, mother of 2, grandma of 1 (soon to be 2) and live in Toronto. I've been rubber stamping for a few years now, still not very good at it but I try.

Jackie said...

I am a transplanted native Floridian living in NC with my wonderful hubby and 2 sweet kitties. I spend more time blurfing than stamping these days but have tons of ideas stored away for future reference. Thanks for the chance at that awesome blog candy!

Jen said...

First off I need to check I sub to your blog through my google ready does that count???

We've talked before. I love your blog and the glimpse into your family. I use to work in a classroom of special needs children, and recently lost that job, it broke my heart. I am hoping to be able to start school once I get back on my feet, after finally finding a job at starbucks after 2 months off. I miss the children that I shared my life with terribly. Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a divorce right now and times are rough around our house, but we are managing. I check all my blogs as often as I can, because it makes me feel connected to other people, even though I don't really talk to them. I'm not originally from IN so I don't have but 1 friend who lives here, my whole family is all back in WA, so it gets pretty lonely. I love sharing your family life and your beautiful children. Thanks for such an awesome shot at some blog candy, I could really use a bright spot in my day.......:)

Anonymous said...

Just discovered your blog and love lurking around. I am relatively new to cardmaking but have been scrapbooker for a long time. I live in Canada with my DH and DS. As Canadians it shouldn't be surprising to find out that we spend lot of time at the hockey rink!!!! Itis good fun and we enjuoy it!

nettystamps said...

Okay I just subscribed so now on to the post...a little about myself? I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother to four great kids, brand new Nonnie (grandmother) to a beautiful 4 month old Isabella, a devoted friend, an office administrator, and enthusiastic crafter, and a Christian. Not necessarily in the order of importance.... :) I have been scrapbooking for several years and have just in the past year discovered the wonderful world of stamping. Once I found ways to incorporate stamping into my scrapping I was definitely HOOKED!
Well....you asked!!! LOL Thanks so much for the chance at some wonderful blog candy....Hope you have a great...2008!

Sheila said...

Great blog candy! Thanks for the chance to win! I'm a SAHM of 3 kids - 10, 5 & 2. I love to scrapbook, stamp and paper craft! Great stuff on your blog and I loved "watching" Cortney cook this Christmas! Thank you for sharing that with us. Too cool!

Anonymous said...

Hmm, something about me? I don't like what I do for a job, but maybe someday that will change! I'm the Mom of an incredible 4 year old tornado, and I squeeze in some papercrafting and scrapbooking in my "free time", whatever that is. :-)

Thanks for the great inspiration, I LOVE the new heart!

JenMarie said...

Hi!
This is AMAZING blog candy!
Glad I found your blog.
I so love stamping, I've recently moved and am not working right now so I'm getting to stamp and 'blurf' every day and loving it!!
Thanks for the chance!!
Oh ~ I just subscribed to your blog. Looking forward to getting updates!

Very Mary said...

I'm addicted to paper and iced tea. I hate winter. I secretly enjoy Reality TV. A 2008 goal for me is to make 1 thing a day, no matter how small! And I think you're special:)

Linda SS said...

Thanks for the chance to win such a wonderful array of prizes:)

I have been married over 30 yrs., have a married son & married daughter, and 3 young grandchildren who bring me tons of joy and laughter. They say laughter is the best medicine, and although I have terminal cancer, my joy in the Lord and in life seem to keep me going:) I love to make cards for family & friends and enjoy reading blogs & seeing the beautiful creations that you & many other talented women create.

My best friend's niece has very severe cerebral palsy and I have watched her grown up to where she now attends college classes! The technology of the equipment that she uses to assist her is so remarkable and it just thrills me to pieces when she shows me something new that she has accomplished. Although I don't think Andrea has been able to help her mother cook yet, I felt tears of joy whelm in my eyes seeing your beautiful Cortney having fun helping you:) I LOVE all of your scrapbook pages! One of my goals this year is to make some scrapbook pages of fun times I spend with my grandchildren. May God bestow oodles of blessings upon you & your loved ones in 2008.

I checked out your cards---there are some beautiful ones.
I love to make cards and scrapbook.
I do like to crochet, knit and sew but right now papercrafts are my favorite. I live in Michigan so am able to go the Megameet in Novi, which is wonderful. My daughter lives near Novi, so have to make a trip to see her once in a while and just happen to stop at Archivers and Scrapbook Zone.

Awesome goodies! I'm Cheryl and I'm an engineer turned SAHM. I love do do good deeds every day. I recently donated my hair, collected canned goods for the poor, and now I've decided to not buy any crafting supplies for an entire year....why??....so I can donate the money I save to the Crohn's and Colits Foundation. My goal is to donate over $1000 this year.
Thanks!

Marvelous candy!

Bevie Pearl said...

Wow is all I can say. Your generosity on your blog with this blog candy is awesome.
One thing I can tell you about myself is that the word I picked for this year to concentrate on is prioritize. And for me(in the papercrafting part of my life) it means that I am using lots of craft supplies that I have here. I am trying to prioritize making things instead of collecting/buying more things. (I am a terrible hoarder of items.)
Thanks for your wonderful inspiration.

Anonymous said...

WOW! That is some fantastic blog candy. I enjoy reading your blog. A little about myself, well I'm a runner and a crafter. I love paper and the color green.

Fantabulous give away!! I'm in South Carolina and I've been stamping about 10 years and would you believe I just made my first nugget box last night - and it is soooooo cute!! I also subscribe through google reader. (I've just started scrapbooking a little, too, on a small scale) Thanks for the chance.

Lorie said...

Wonderful give away! Who am I? I am a child of God, a wife to Todd, a mom of 3 boys, a friend, and someone who loves to stamp and make people smile! While my life is much more complicated than the above I don't want to scare you! LOL! :o)

Jan Scholl said...

I am a Domestic Engineer. In other words, I do all the work for no pay, no pifs, and no thanks. I hate MIchigan, hate the cold and am sure pissed at the stork for dropping me here (somewhere is my real family living in heat and sunshine every day)

My kids are all grown, my grandaughter just graduate HS and yet I have no real time for me stuff. I wonder if I am just too interested in stuff or am I blocking out what I want to do for sure with stuff that I think I have to do.

I will eat garlic on cardboard if I had to.

Shannon McGann said...

Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I just came by to check yours out, and you're offering blog candy! I love your work!

Now, about myself...I'm a SAHM of two boys. I live in Alberta, Canada (it's actually pretty warm here right now!). I love the Lord, my husband, my kids, my friends and family, stamping and scrapbooking (although the scrapbooking has fallen by the wayside a bit since my second baby came along!).

Thanks for the chance to win.

Awesome prize! Something about me...I once helped a sheep give birth. My best friend had a farm and one of her ewes, Glenda, wasn't progressing with labor, so I helped my friend with the birth. I've been present at many animal births and they make me cry every time. It's an amazing process.

About me: I am a SAHM to 3 year old and 6 week old boys. I love being home with the kids. We live in Wisconsin and I've been married for 4+ years. I have been stamping for about 5 years and I am on 3 design teams for 2008 - woo hoo!! Talk about being busy but I am so excited - it's definitely the "good" busy. I started into the blog world in September and it's so much fun! I need more hours in the day so I can post, surf AND stamp!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for the opportunity to win such great candy!

Thanks for the opportunity for some great blog candy. I just started my own blog a few months ago. I can't imagine having so many avid readers as you have!

Hi Michele,

What a awesome blog candy! Crossing my fingers as I never win anything. There's really nothing exciting about myself except for my "furry" daughter which you've seen on my blog. She keeps me humble & sane. Especially from a hard days work. I love to scrapbook & make handmade cards....it's been my passion! Thank u for sharing this wonderful blog candy with us.

Something new about me -I start teaching on Monday, I will be teaching a science class and lab. I really can't wait to get started -it is the perfect job (I hope) that will also (I hope) provide ample craftin time!!!

Thanks for the nice comment on my scrapbook. It made me smile! ;)

Me? I'm new to the scrap and stamp world ! I really want to make beautiful things! Loved all your cards in the slide show..the one with the maraschino cherry jar is just adorable! I'm a SAHM of 2. Just recently found all these crafty blogs and am reading/learning all I can !

Thanks for stopping by my blog Michele. Yes, I live in Chicago near Harlem and Foster.

I enjoy your blog and all of your creations.

Something about me: I collect Mickey Mouse. I have done so since I was in high school. I have been crafting since grammer school when I learned how to knit, crochet and sew. I have made doing scrapbook layouts a goal for 2008.

I have been a SAHM for the past 8 years, gave up nursing when pregnant with my twins. Started scrapping and cardmaking about 3 1/2 years ago and am totally hooked! We moved to Scotland a year ago from North of England and I absolutely love it here, so peaceful and quiet, ideal for creative minds and hearts!

What a awesome prize! I have been wanting to get those Nestibilities for a long time...here's my chance :) Let's see....tell you about me....I am 31 years old, live in Gresham, Oregon with my husband and two dogs (Herkimer and Havana). I love to work on crafty projects...in fact I often wake up in the morning and remember dreaming about being crafty! LOL My husband got me a guitar and a drum pad for christmas, so I have been trying to learn the guitar and drums...the guitar is hurting my fingers and making me not want to go to my craft room so that guitar may not be the instrument of choice for me :)

Hi! I am an RN doing home health care for special needs kids (at one point I took care of a little boy with CP)! I would much rather be a SAHM, but in spite of 2 recent round of in vitro fertilization... God hasn't chosen that route for us yet! I love to stamp, scrapbook, and cross-stitch, among other things... but don't have the time that I want to do all of those things!

Hi & thanks you for offering such great blog candy! I'm 28 yrs. & married to my high school sweetheart. We have a daughter that will be 6 on 1/14. I love to scrapbook but since I work full time and also babysit an infant every evening, I rarely find time to do so. I read stamping blogs and keep up my own My Space posts in my spare time. Driving my daughter to kindergarten & dance class takes up the rest of my time. Some day I hope to take a breather:)

Tee said...

Its a terrific candy and whoever wins this will be very happy.
Don't put my name in the draw, I already have a ton of stuff that you sent!
Just stopped by to say Hello!

I am a longtime fan of your art and I got to know you and Kim (your cousin) around the same time.

I have one grown son and a toddler daughter. God has blessed me with a very supportive and loving husband.

We live in the arctic. Although far in distance my heart is close to many that live in the Lower 48. Stamping and blogging has brought me lots of new friends and encouragement.

What a blessing.

Mmmm...a little about me. I'm a teacher too. I teach reading to first and second graders. I'm an avid Ohio State fan, so I'm a little down right now. Perhaps this blog candy would lift my spirits a bit.

Love your blog. I visit it about every day.
