Hi there and Happy Monday to you! I wish I could say that my week has started out well, but I am currently battling a nasty cold, blech! I felt a out of sorts yesterday and by the time I went to bed, it was clear that I was getting sick. Not part of my plans this week either. Grrr! Anyhoo, I don't have a card to share today but wanted to take the time to thank some folks who have been so sweet to share blog awards with me. PLUS, if you hang around to the end of the post there is some BLOG CANDY waiting there! Yahoo!
I was honored with the "Stylish Blogger Award" recently from:
- Tammy Clarke from Stampin' Rx
- Laurie from Hiding in My Craft Room
- Melissa Hedine-Toodle from Mommy's Stampin' Creations
- Diane Oliver from Rubber 'n Rafters
- Nicki Shopis from Ink, Paper, Stamp
-Whenever I finish a project, I always have to clean my desk off completely. Right down to wiping it off with a Clorox wipe! (but ONLY an orange-scented Clorox wipe, they are my favorite!) Even if I am going to immediately start another project. Everything must be put away in it's home first! Nine times out of ten, I end up dragging the same items out again, but at least I know where they are.
I'm also supposed to share this award with 8 more blogs. I always hate that part, because I can't just pick 8. So here is what I'm going to do. If you are reading this post...I am bestowing this award on YOU! Then I can spread the bloggin' cheer to everyone! :)
Now, about that BLOG CANDY!! Instead of giving a bunch of treats away all in one pop, I am going to share small "bites" of candy at a time. I think that is so much more fun that way. Today, I am offering up 4 yards of ribbon (3 are from the Occasions Mini catalog) to one lucky reader. You will receive: 1 yard of Daffodil Delight Pom Pom Trim, 1 yard of Poppy Parade Stitched Poly ribbon, 1 yard of Rose Red Seam Binding and 1 yard of Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding. Ps: there will also be a handmade card in the package, too. I just don't know which one yet. :)
That's all for today! It's time for more cold meds. *sniff, sniff* Please, stop by tomorrow for my card for the new Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge. Enjoy your day today! :)
Congrats on your award(S) very deserving, your work is awesome! Love the little tidbit about, if you would like to come clean off my desk that would be wonderful :) Hmmm..favorite supply, bling!!!!! Hope you feel better and thanks for stopping by Chubby Kitty Stamping, appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI would say my favorite is ribbon or buttons. I never think a card is complete without it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win :)
Aww Anne, feel better! Take lots of zinc and drink green tea with honey and lemon. My friends joke with me that I'm an old hippie soul trapped in a 27 year old's body, but they stop laughing when my remedies work!!! Congrats on your blog award. I think you and I have more in common than I thought. I too have to clean my craft room once a project is finished. Right down to vacuuming the floor and organizing my papers that were strewn out! AND my favorite crafty item is no doubt my bling. That tends to encompass a lot, like Stickles, rhinestones, shiny ribbon, etc. But I always say, if it doesn't sparkle, it isn't finished!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne Marie, Thanks so much for visiting my blog and leaving such nice comments!! Your blog is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI clean my stamping space as well after each time, I just don't like anything to be out of place. I'm sorry that you are not feeling well!! I, myself had a terrible migraine this afternoon, but am better now. Off to try to create something!! P.s. My favorite embellishment is bling, be it stickles or gems!! Please visit again!!
Evening, Miss Anne-Marie!! I hope your medicine kicks in and you are feeling better! I'm Smiling huge at your quirk, as I have the same one - I'm almost OCD about keeping just about everything neat and tidy and it just makes for happy crafting to see it all picked up and wonderful! Ooooooh on the orange scent - you'd love our orange tree growing full of fruit right out in the yard .... sometimes I sit under it just to take it all in - the warm sunshine, the tropical breeze and the glorious smell of citrus! Big hugs! x0x0
ReplyDeleteoh no, now you've gotten it. So sorry to hear that. Hope you'll get better soon. (((hugs))) Take Theraflu... that's what helped me. :)
ReplyDeletecongrats on that sweet award... and wow, from so many people! How fab is that?!
Ok, my fav. crafting supply is ribbons. hehe... how fitting is that for this blog candy, huh? :) and no, I'm not just saying that. Buttons comes close but ribbons is what seems to be taking over my stamp area.
First, congrats on the award. Hopefully that will cheer you up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI love bling on my cards, too, but I have to say my favorite crafting supply is my Silhouette machine. My DH gave it to me for Christmas. I've been having so much fun with it. I also love paper, too, especially designer paper. I love all the patterns. It makes my eyes happy. ;-)
Hi Anne...congrats on being stylish again! (or still!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafting item...hmmm...must be ribbon!! A close 2nd would be embossing folders. Love adding color and texture!!
Congrats on the award. Much deserved. Great blog. I am now a subscriber.
ReplyDeleteMy fave is patterned paper.
Congrats Anne Marie ~ Love your creativity, you are very deserving of this award ~ hope your feeling better soon! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blog award. Mmmm, my fav crafting supply has to be pattern paper. The variety is endless and for someone who loves to fussy-cut and do paper construction, it's indispensible.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I don't think I could live with out my ATG tape dispenser. My 2nd choice would be my Big Shot and nesties (They have to go together)
I hope you feel better soon!
I'll have to say at the moment it is my Big Shot because of all the flower embellishments I've been making. I can't stop putting flowers on everything!
ReplyDeletePS I love your blog...your creations are absolutely gorgerous!!
As I said in my email I just love your blog. You do a great job. I would say that my favorite craft supply is something that I dont own yet. I love the embossing done with the big shot. My favorite is lots of dots. I hope to order it yet this month:)
ReplyDeleteWow Anne Marie you certainly do deserve the Stylish Awards on your blog........because you truly are! And thanks for offering up those pretty ribbons as blog candy. I'd have to say that although I'm in love with everything SU my favourite supply is any of the punches......... got to love them! Get well soon.
ReplyDeletePAPER, PAPER PAPER!!! Love how everything matches. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award! Your blog is very deserving. Now for my favorite? That's a tough one...punches are great, the paper and ink matching, LOVE IT! I'd have to say the one thing that I can't live without has to be the ribbon. I just think that ribbon puts that finishing touch on anything. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy. FUN! yolanda-tryingtobecreative.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHey Anne Marie - I hope you feel better soon! Hope the boys are behaving for you so you can rest up. Hmm - my absolute favorite crafting supply probably has to be my embossing folders as I tend to use them on every card I create. So that would be the EF and the Big Shot since they go hand in hand. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog and absolutely adore your style. Um...have I told you that before, because I meant to - I just don't know if I did or not. I love this chick card and you've really inspired me to do something special with the insides of my cards. I thought about it all day and my favorite crafting supply is the sponge. I have been sponging everything now and it brings so much vibrancy and life to everything. I don't have a blog yet, so I don't think I can win your contest.
Congrats on the award...'you deserve it! Thanks for sharing all your amazing creations and for inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I can sure feel with you about the "nasty cold". . . I'm suffering with it as well! Take care of you!
Thanks for this chance to win sweet candy! Ribbon is my fave supply...'it can brighten up any card!
If I had to pick a favorite supply, it would be be buttons right now with ribbon coming a very close second. Love those orange scented wipes too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway! I'm going to be doing something similar at my blog starting next week, hopefully. I was going to do one big giveaway, but I decided it would be more fun, plus more people get to win, if I do it in smaller intervals. So stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite embellishment is ribbon! Or twine. I just love it!
G'day Anne Marie, I love bling the best. Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy.
ReplyDeleteSorry your cold is hanging on, but glad you're starting to feel more like yourself! (I live in SA, too, so there are many who can sympathize with you, since allergies can be a lot like a cold!)
ReplyDeleteAs for your question, I love my marker set the best. It's so fun to color stamps and give them different colors, and handy when you need a color, but don't own that particular stamp pad.
Thanks for the chance to win - hope you feel much better very soon!!
