MORE BLOG CANDY!!!!!! Wow, how time flies!

Sorry...THIS BLOG CANDY IS NOW CLOSED.
Hello all!
I was looking back in my archives for a card the other day and noticed that I started my blog on February 4th, 2009. You know what that means?
 HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY TO ME!!!!!!
I have had so much fun and met so many awesome people through my card making and blogging!
There have been true friendships formed. I have had the privilege to be on about a dozen different design teams and have enjoyed all of them. I was honored to be asked to be a VIP speaker at a craft convention in Topeka, Kansas. One of my cards is being published in CardMaker magazine. I am now illustrating stamps for Clear Dollar Stamps. I have 754 awesome followers and am almost at my 50,000 hits mark!
To show my appreciation for all of you and to celebrate the fun I am having as a blogger.....
IT IS CANDY TIME AGAIN!!!!
I usually don't have more than one candy going at a time but the anniversary snuck up on me. Time flies when you're having fun!
This is an odd collection of goodies but I have been home a little under the weather all week and couldn't get out to shop. My craft room is overflowing so I just went shopping in there! LOL!

Click on the pictures for a better look!
I think it will be a fun box for you to pull items out of one at a time. If I can squeeze more stuff in whatever box I put it in, you will have some surprises too!

This candy will run until Feb. 28th.
Same rules as always....
#1) Become a follower if you aren't already.
#2) Post about my candy on your blog and/or put it in your sidebar with the following link back to me.
#3) Pop a quick comment below to let me know you have done the above and would like a chance to win some sweets.
If you have not signed up for my $50.00 shopping spree candy yet, you have until Feb. 13th to do so.
Thanks to all of you for your wonderful comments that I always look forward to reading and for the camaraderie and friendships! Thanks also to those of you who have just found my blog. I look forward to making your acquaintance!

Good luck!
Hugs your way!
True :D
