Let the celebration begin!

Here, we are, February is here. This will be a month of celebration because I am about to hit 2 years after successful double-brain surgery! HUGE thanks to the Doctor who got all this to happen, Dr. Sami Aboumatar from Austin Epilepsy. Wonderful Doctor. For those who are new and would like to read some background about me (CLICK HERE).Here's a fun card today featuring on the newest releases from Crafter's Companions. This stamp set is called Strawberry Kisses Yum. The USA blog is having it's monthly contest starting today, so check it out (Click here).

Now, for the first blog candy of the month, a sweet Crafter's Companion set Humphrey's Corner Collection called "Special Day" all you need to do to win is just leave a comment. For this, and all blog candy this month, you are eligible to win ANYWHERE in the world. I will mail prizes everywhere. I anticipate that since there will be multiple contests going on all month long, many people will possibly win multiple contests, so please enter each contest. All prizes will be mailed pretty quickly at the end of the month and I will post as soon as they get mail. It's helpful if you leave your email so I can contact you. I only ever use email if you win. I am not a store or business, just a crafter.

Huge thanks to all those participating in the Celebration, you (my viewers) were wonderful to me throughout the whole brain surgery ordeal and now that my life has been fixed I want to share my happiness with you!! Huge thanks to the Doctor, to my wonderful Husband John, and especially to all the companies who have sent wonderful prizes to be given out including Sweet Pea Stamps, Squigglefly, Addicted to Stamps, Paper Temptress and more!!

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas. Here's an adorable card I made with the newest SWALK sets that came out at the end of December from Crafter's Companion. I hope everyone gets gloves to keep their cold hands warm and warm hearts to hug close to them. I know I will.

Here's an enlarged image that shows the wonderful girl. She's super adorable. I stamped her in black memento ink and colored her in alcohol ink markers. Check out the great borders, they are covered with Black Diamond Stickles. Yum.

I hope you all got everything on your wish list this christmas. I already know that my wildest dreams have already come true. Anything more that comes is just a wonderful gift from God. Many blessings everyone.
