I would LOVE to win this set Charmaine! I'd say my favorite thing so far this summer is having the boys home, the hubby home (unemployed) and being all together! I thought I'd be going crazy, but it's really been nice. We've grilled lots of great foods and had lots of fun being together!

Congratulations, Amy! I'll get your Just So Hippy set out to you in the mail!

Thank you all for playing along! I really enjoyed reading about all of your favorite summer activities. If you didn't win, don't worry. . .remember I said I won two sets that I already had?

I know it has been LONG overdue, but I was organizing my craft space and realized that I never gave this away! A while ago, I won Melanie's complete Hippy Hoppy Collection on GinaK's blog.

We went to Corolla in North Carolina and rented a beautiful beach. First time we've done this and I highly recommend it. I'm not a great beach person and I can't wait to go back. Also I've been playing Blog Bingo with Julee and having so much fun and making a bunch of cards. Such yummy goodies. Thanks!

Congratulations Dottie! Email me with your address, and I'll get these out to you right away!

"Hi Charmaine,I love your blog and that candy looks great! I am embarrassed to say that the last scrapbook I made was for my son - I did the whole first year - and that was almost two years ago. I have done a page here and there but not a lot. I make cards almost nightly though...I made a baby card and a birthday card for my friend recently.Geny C. (aka Mommy Geny on SCS) "

Congratulations, Geny! Please email me your address so I can get these Oodagoodies out to you! Thank you to everyone who commented to win the Oodagoodies. You all had such great ideas and gifts that you recently made! I really enjoyed seeing photos of some of the things you made too! A lot of you scrapbook A LOT more than I do! :) I'm envious! :) You have inspired me to get moving on the scrapbooking though! Thanks again for playing and hopefully I'll see you later at naptime! :)

Reminder

Tomorrow morning at 10am EST is the drawing for my latest set of Oodagoodies! If you haven't signed up yet and would like a chance to win, make sure you go leave a comment telling me the last scrapbook or card set you made for someone as a gift!

Time for More Oodagoodies!

I'm long overdue for some Oodagoodies, but I just couldn't decide what to give away! Then I came across this in my craft room and thought it would be a little something different. Those of you who are Heidi Swapp fans will LOVE this. It's a whole set of her embellishments complete with a 6x6 scrapbook! I, personally, LOVE all of her "ghost-ware". . .the ghost alphabets, the ghost flowers, hearts! Some of my favorites! This set has chipboard letters, ribbons, "bling", divider tabs, scrapbooking tape. . .as you can see by the closeup picture, there are 567 pieces in this set! WOW! It really is a great set. I bought a couple and have used one for a scrapbook on my husband and I (since we didn't really have one), and it was fun and pretty easy since everything goes together! I tried to get a good picture of the whole set, but I couldn't seem to get one without any glare. Hopefully you can see well enough! So, in order to win this set of Oodagoodies, post a comment telling me the last scrapbook you made for someone, (or if you don't scrapbook) the last card set you made for someone and what the occasion was. If you've got a picture of that creation, post a link with your comment because I'd LOVE to see it! :) You have until next Wednesday morning, May 23 at 10am EST to post a comment. I look forward to reading about your last gift creation! Good luck, and have a wonderful day! As always, thank you for visiting!

And the Winner Is. . .

I like somewhere in between, like you; I tend to do at least 2 embellishments like ribbon and brads mostly since they're my favorite. But I have a hard time doing heavily embellished. I do like a clean & simple occasionally! Fun blog candy! Thanks for the opportunity - I enjoy your blog, it's on my daily list of readers in google so I can be organized!!

Congratulations Donna! Be sure and email me your address so that I can get these Oodagoodies out to you! Thank you all for your comments! It seems that I'm not alone in the "I love heavily embellished cards, but just can't do them myself" category! So to all of you who make the heavily embellished cards, we admire you! :) We love to look at them!

On another note, I received some questions in comments, so I thought I'd post the answers here since there was no email contact for those people. Someone asked who made the ladybug stamp in my last set of Oodagoodies, and that is Great Impressions. The number on the stamp is E452. The other question was "does Stamps by Judith have a website", and YES they do! It's http://www.stampsbyjudith.com/, and the stamp the person was talking about was the Lovebugs on this card. Hopefully those people will see this post and find what they're looking for! Thanks again for playing along everyone, and have a great day!

Time For More Oodagoodies!

It's that time again! I wanted to make something as I did for the last set of Oodagoodies, but I ran out of time, so I hope these are suitable replacements! :) I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who visit my blog on a regular basis. I've had such fun so far and have really enjoyed meeting a lot of you! It's just amazing to me how many of you visit daily. When my husband kept urging me to start a blog, I kept thinking/saying "why would anyone want to visit a blog by ME?" Well, THANK YOU for proving me wrong and him right! :)

So, for a chance to win these Oodagoodies, leave me a comment answering the following question: What is your favorite type of card. . .heavily embellished, or clean and simple?

For me, I have to say that I LOVE other people's cards that are heavily embellished. I find them amazing, but my brain doesn't work like that, so I usually create clean and simple cards with a few embellishments. I REALLY love very simple cards when I see them (with NO embellishments), but I often feel that I "haven't done enough" if I make them. Weird, huh?

This package contains:

• 1 Studio K Mini book kit by K&Company
• 1 Travel Tag book kit by K&Company
• 1 Rhonna Farrer clear stamp
• 1 Studio G clear stamp set
• 18 assorted Primas
• 1 alterable box

Leave your comment by Tuesday, April 10 at 10am EST, and I'll draw a random number to choose the winner! Good luck and thanks for playing along!

Who wants some "Oodagoodies"?!!

Since I just started this blogging thing a couple of weeks ago and am learning as I go, I thought I'd learn more about you and what you like. I made this ladybug set as an "oodagoodie" for one of YOU! It's a set of cards with envelopes in a stationery folder, and a nugget box complete with toffee and almond nuggets!! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and tell me what you think constitutes a good blog or one that you like to visit daily. My answer to this question is: seeing new, neat and different projects with more of a description (if needed) as to how to do them. . .and also hearing that the person didn't make their "masterpiece" on the first try! :) So, let me know what you think! Post your answer by Sunday, March 18 at 10am EST, and I'll draw one of your posts from a hat and announce the winner! Thanks for playing along and letting me know what you think!
