We have a Winner !!!

I tried out a brand new random number picker at MathGoodies which looks like it could be a very fun site to check out further, although I didn't go exploring yet. But I did see the word puzzles in the categories! Time to see how far my brain cells will go - haven't taken a "test" in a while!!

But I digress LOL The site picked #30 - lilscrappers, but if you read the comment you will swear I was picking favorites! Keep in mind I came up with the Faux Designer Paper for the TJ newsletter ROTFLMBO (that would be Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Butt Off, which I only wish was actually possible - exercise can be so boring ;o) But no, I am an honest soul and didn't have any influence in the picking of the winning comment. I wish you all could win - I am grateful you visit here and leave an occasional comment or two! :o)

lilscrappers : if you could send me an email with your snail mail address (by clicking on the sidebar link that says EMAIL ME), I'll get the cd right out to you!! Congratulations, I think you will love it!

Blog Candy Winner!!

A big huge congratulations to Linda P! Your name was drawn randomly and I will be sending your TechniqueJunkies CD to you as soon as I receive your address.

Thanks to all of you who shared your tips and favorite charities in the comments section - what a great group of stampers you are!! I wish I had a CD for all of you, but I have some good news to share with you concerning TechniqueJunkies - if you go to Pat's blog you will see a blip about getting internet access for under $10! See the link for her blog on the TJ homepage :o)

We have a winner (okay, two!!)

Congratulations Leenda/Linda! The first name drawn via the random selector was my Dad, who left me a great comment on my leaf card, which I'll be sending out to him on Tuesday (no mail going out Monday...) but I drew another name so no one would accuse me of playing favorites ;o) and your name was picked! I think I know which one is your favorite, but email me, just in case you've changed your mind LOL and thanks for all the really nice comments!

Card from My Mom

CONGRATULATIONS VIVIAN!

Your name was drawn from this week's comments by an uninterested party (my husband - NOT a stamper! LOL) Will be happy to send you any one of the cards from this past week for your own use. Just send your first and second choice, along with snail mail info to me. Thanks Vivian, and to all who left such nice comments :o) I'll draw again next Sunday afternoon, so join in if you'd like!


Isn't this beautiful (see below)?! I got it in last evening's mail - it's a birthday card from my parents, handmade by my Mom. I actually got tears in my eyes reading their heartfelt messages inside. Especially in this day of everything technology there is something very powerful about reading someone's thoughts written in their own hand.


It's heavy vellum with a fern pattern on the back and a handdrawn flourish in black marker pen, with gold highlighting, on the front, all of which shows up better irl than a scan. Mom said she got the inspiration for the flourish from an old book on antique decorated furniture. She combined components of the three images above, which is a page from the book. The ribbon is a brilliant gold and so is the brad. I love it! Oh, and they generously gave me a birthday check which is earmarked for TechniqueJunkie (see sidebar) newsletter back issues!!

Stay tuned - will draw a name from the comments sometime before bedtime for choice of a card from those posted over the week! Yes, you can still leave a comment today if you want to get in on the fun LOL and each of your comments will be another entry into the hat. Sorry, my birthday card above is not an option!! ;o)
