Contest is over! I will draw a winner Tuesday! :) Thanks all! Be sure to check this wonderful list and visit some new blogs!

Time to give some stuff away and discover some cool crafty blogs to boot! Here's the scoop. I have this cool pile of stuff; some Micheal's $1 spot clear stamps and blocks, a little Bella and a matching sentiment, cool punches, and the coveted Rhonna Farrer swirly bird stamp... I'm sure I will end up tossing some other stuff in there too... cause that's how I roll.

You could win this; and win an EXTRA swirly bird stamp for your favorite blogger!

All you have to do to get this cool stuff is leave a comment here... and let me know one (and only one) of your favorite crafty (and only crafty) blogs. If you win I will send you the cool pile of stuff shown here, and I will send your fave blogger an EXTRA swirly bird on your behalf! :)

Please enter one time only; and try your best to leave me a link to the blog you love so we can all go check it out! You have until Monday at Midnight (cst) to enter!

And if you really want to make me super duper happy (no bonus points, just love and admiration from me), vote for Craft Critique... we were nominated for a Blogger's Choice Award! Whoo hoo!

Hi Sarah,

Yikes! Just one? So hard!

All right if I had to pick, I'd say Allison at http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com

I explained Allison to a non-stamping friend of mine as the "Queen of stampers and bloggers!"

She is super nice to list all the tutorials, cool sites, funny tidbits and blog candy in one place! On top of all that she finds time to make and post some cool cards!!!

Cool Blog candy. It is difficult to select a favorite blog. They are all great.
Choosing just one would be AmyR - http://prairiepaperandink.typepad.com/amyr/

and amusing musings and things I could go on and on but I would run out of room so Just visit my blog and you will see all my favorites.I promise I would give the birdie a good home....lol

Lynn Brown said...

It's hard to choose just ONE. I'll have to say Taylored Expressions, and that's because I find myself CASE-ing her stuff all the time. There are so many I really like, though, including Sarah and the Stampstars! Great idea to have people list their favorites. I'm sure I will be adding lots of new blogs to my Google Reader.

Anonymous said...

Hey Sarah! Jen here (www.stampwithjen.typepad.com)... Lately I've been reading Michelle's blog at: http://www.inkartist.net/. Love the blog candy!

What an awesome selection of goodies for some lucky person. A favorite blogger of mine is http://stampalicious.typepad.com/my_weblog/

I like her's because she is consistant with her posts, does great cards, has a great sense of humor and always has something different.

There are so many great bloggers out there right now that it is so hard to pick just one. I do have your's in my reader so your also on my list of who to visit.

Stampin_Melissa said...

OMGodness! Just ONE???? How can I possibly chose just ONE????

*Breath deeply*

*sigh*

There are so many talented stampers out there and several with more personality than you can shake a stick at, but I guess if I had to pick one that I would like to meet in person it would be JanTink! Janine has talent in stampin' skillz and writing so her posts are just hilarious! Here's her blogsite: http://stampspaperscissors.typepad.com/stamps_paper_scissors/

Andrea said...

My favorite blog is http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com ... plus she is my BFF too! Allison convinced me to start stamping and to create a blog and I love both. She will just die for that bird stamp ... she totally loves it! TFS.

I tend to subcribe to mainly stamping blogs and only a few craft only blogs so that makes answering your queston a lot easier. It has to be Craft Critique as I am learning new things about so many things.

I know anyone winning this blog candy will be thrilled as I would be. We don't get all the yummy stamps you lucky people over the big pond get. I hope that doesn't mean that I am out of the running to win all this yummy blog candy living overseas!! I had better wipe the drool off my keyboard and send this off to you!! LOL

lynzei said...

Do you mean my favorite other than you? I guess so if you are sending an additional bird stamp her way. I think I'd have to say Heather Nichols (aka Pinefeather). Her work is fabulous and inspiring. JanTink is a very close second. She keeps me howling in laughter with her hilariously witty entries.

Wow, a hard question because I like a lot of blogs, including yours of course. And right now I'm really enjoying http://tayloredexpression.blogspot.com/ for the nice cards and different projects! Thanks for asking!!

This is Barb and she's such a generous person and so talented. She can tell you how certain papers will react to whatever variety of color mediums. Even if I don't win and she doesn't (boohoo), be sure to check her out and start up a conversation with her.

What a great thing to ask for: I love discovering new blogs. This one is my favorite, just because the girl oozes with talent (not to mention humility, cough cough, jk) and especially because she honors the One who has blessed her.

Hmm. One of my favorites is Sweet Miss Daisy's blog. http://sweetmissdaisy.typepad.com/ I love it because it has a little bit of everything. Awesome photography, cardmaking, sewing, etc. :)

Tracy.H said...

I would say that one of my All-Time favs is Anna Wight @ http://sweetmissdaisy.typepad.com/sassy_sweet_notes/

A little of everything, but her photos are amazing!!

Hi congrats on becoming one of the Tuscan Rose DT. I love Patty's site and come back to it daily. Have just discovered stamping and adding that to my list of creative outlets. Have just added you to my list of bloggers. Overwhelmed with the creative ideas you all have. I can't wait to see what the design team come up with.

Ila said...

Wow..I have so many favorite Blogs...but I am going to say:
http://trinastreasures.blogspot.com/

[sigh] so many blogs, so little time! I feel like I've already won a prize - just finding out about everybody's fave. I go to Gina K's everyday (do you need the url too?)

There are so many great craft blogs reflecting so many wonderfully diverse styles. I don't feel like I can single out a favorite on that front. So I'll pick Beate's:

http://beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/

because she seems to me to exemplify the primary value underlying why I craft -- generosity. She is generous with her time, her ideas, her gratitude, and her words of encouragement.

Susie said...

This is easy for me. Even though I adore Mish Mash and pine is here (among countless others) my absolute favorite is Cambria Turnbows "Stamp a Little Love Baby!". Not only is she wonderfully talented but the energy she brings to her blog just makes me feel good!

Craft Critique ROCKS !! It's a daily read for me!

There are so many wonderful blogs out there but I must say my ultimate favorite is Duckwaddle Quack. Her blog is http://quackingcreations.blogspot.com. I have always been inspired by her style and just LOVE her cards.
Her sense of colors and her layering constantly amaze me.
This is great candy & I just love the bird. Thanks for sharing.

Sarah said...

That is such a hard question! I keep up with over a hundred crafty blogs in addition to writing my own.

For today I'm going to vote yarnstom. http://www.yarnstorm.blogs.com/

She has such a wonderful sense of color and a way of bringing creativity into everyday life that I love.

Trish D said...

Wow, how generous!! And as for a favorite craft blog - I'd have to say http://theartfulmama.blogspot.com/ because I love the way she shares her experiments, and her style is great!

Gina Wrona said...

Wow, how awesomely generous of you.

I would have to vote for more than 1 blog, but my first one would be my demonstrator, Dawn Griffith.
