WE HAVE A WINNER!

Yup!  We DO have a winner.  I had an amazing 211 entries for this terrific new set from The Cat's Pajamas!  Thank you all so much for visiting my lil ole blog.  The random number gererator  at Random.org chose #106.  So, I won't put it off any longer.  The winner of the TCP Clearly Swanky It's A Mod, Mod World stamp set is...

EMILY GIOVANNI!

Yeah, Em!  Please e-mail me with your address and I'll send your set out on Monday.  Enjoy it and post some cards for us to see!  You can visit Emily's blog here.

I have to tell you that I was chocolate crazed all week!  There were so many good suggestions too.  I think my favorite was to add chocolate to my popcorn at the movies and let it melt all over...YUMMO!  It seems to me that most women go for that salty/sweet combo.  It's definitely true for me.  I forgot to mention that when we were young girls (junior high, I guess) my mom would drive us to the ice skating rink each week...to look at the boys...I mean skate...yea...anyway, after, we would always go to McDonald's for a chocolate shake and french fries and then we'd dip the fries in the shake.  We called it Frostified French Fries.  SEE!  Now I'm craving that!

POSIES FOR YOU - WE HAVE WINNERS!

Yeah!  We have three winners who will each get a set of Anna's Posies For You set from Whipper Snapper.

Thank you everyone who entered a comment for the contest.  I had 177 entries!!  I went back to my trusty online random number generator (random.org) and the three numbers chosen were......

#93       Dawn Burnworth
#105    Jan Stafford
#115    Valerie Byrnes

Congrats, Ladies.  And to the rest of you....you'll just have to head on over to Whipper Snapper and pick up some Posies for yourself.  Come on...you know you want 'em!

WE HAVE BLOG CANDY WINNERS!

   Thank you so much to everyone that left a comment on my 100,000 blog hit.  It was such a fun week and I enjoyed reading all of the things that you like about blogging.  And while a blog is a terrific place to share ideas and to look for inspiration, I loved that so many of you felt like blogging was a way to meet new people with common interests and to stay in touch with friends and family.  So many people also liked that blogging gives you insight into another stamper's thoughts - whether it be on creating a project or a little inkling of what's going on in their personal lives.  Nowadays, when it seems like the stamping community is losing it's publications, small specialty stores are closing, and scrapbooking is so dominant.  It's so great that we have transitioned into the blogging world.  Through our blogs, along with sites like Splitcoaststampers and Technique Junkies and too many Yahoo groups to count, we can continue to share our hobby.  As a stamper (and not a scrapbooker) I am sooo excited about that! 
   

Now to our winners...I went to Random.org and had the random number generator choose my five winners.  Congratulations to...

#122  Donna Baker - Serenity in Stamping
#170  Krista Larsson
#64  Samantha Welch - Living Creatively
#23  Rose Kerry
#110  Adelle Hyrkas

Thanks again for your comments and for visiting my blog!
