Win Some Crafty Stuff!

I am seriously thinking about running off to Mexico so I can be alone with all these stamps and other fun stuff! I am currently sitting on a nest egg of over $3000.00 in amazing donations from your favorite stampy/crafty companies! I have a LIST of 19 amazing and generous companies to tell you about; but I don't want to ruin any surprises for the 80 event attendees! Plus; I have a few fun prizes left over I can share with y'all; and a BUNCH of my own papercrafty stuff I want to GIVE AWAY!

So here is the game; Below you will find seven "sneak peak" pictures of door prize and goodie bag donations for our Big Splitcoaststamper event on Saturday.. All you have to do is name these seven wonderful companies who donated! Just leave a comment below with your answers; the first person to get all seven correct wins the BIG BOX of craftyness! But have no fear, all the participants will get a chance at a second drawing for a BIG Envelope full of papercrafty/rubberstampy stuff! Whoo hoo!

Please note; your comment/entry will not appear right away... I will save them all up and release the posts from moderation on the final day of the drawing which will be Monday, April 2nd at Midnight Central Time. (photos below are not representative of prizes being rewarded in this contest)

Bonus for Bloggers; link to this contest from your blog and let me know in the comment section below and you will be entered in a Separate Blogger Drawing for another BIG ENVELOPE full of crafty goodness! Be sure to give me the link to your blog!

Good luck to all!

The "Why I am a Dork" Give-Away!

Imagine my surprise when I moderated the comments for my blog this morning and saw one from the one and only Daven! If you're into stamping and you don't know who Daven is then you are living in a virtual cyber HOLE. Here is why I am a dork... I am so flippin' excited that Daven left a comment on my blog... I actually feel like calling someone; mainly Angie... aka Anna741 who is the one person who's phone number I know who is as addicted to SCS as I am. It's like the blog was touched by a rock star! Daven read my blog!!! Whoo hoo! (see... that's pretty dorky right???)

So let's celebrate! Here is what you need to do... Find the comment that Daven left on my blog. I will randomly draw from all the correct answers and 3 people will get a "Spring Surprise" in the mail from ME! Just leave a comment on my blog in THIS POST when you find it and tell me WHERE it is... providing a link would be nice. You will NOT see your comment posted until NEXT FRIDAY when the contest is over.

The "Blog Archive" thingy on the sidebar is going to come in very handy with this contest... Have fun reading! :)

In other news; It's finally cold and snowy in Illinois! It's about time too! This winter has been so weird and it really makes you think about Global Warming. Everyone go out and get some of those cool new fangled Compact Florescent light bulbs now... make Al Gore happy!

Snowed in In Elgin, IL

One last bit of news; my pal Meg Shumaker (aka WAXYO) is a Dirty Girl! If you don't know what that means take a look here at her Splitcoaststampers Gallery. She has been selected by the Splitcoast team to join the few, the proud; the Dirty. Boy oh boy does she deserve it!

If you can't view the Dirty Dozen Galleries and some of the other links posted here; it's because you aren't a member of the Fan Club yet. What are you waiting for? The Fan Club Galleries on Splitcoast contain amazing, trendy samples you can't see anywhere else! It's the best $24.95 you'll ever spend.

A Comment Contest!

I need some blog feedback... and you want some free stamps. So here's the deal... you tell me what you want to see more of... and I will send one winner a really cool Valentine's Day Prize package! And YES, those are the coveted Michael's $1 Spot Valentine Stamps. Enter until Midnight Central Time on Saturday, January 13th. I will draw a winner Sunday.


I am trying to refocus my blog a bit, and with all these stamping/papercraft blogs that are popping up, I feel like I need to set myself apart from the rest.

So what do you like; and what don't you like? Don't feel like you have to answer all these questions, just give me something useful to think about. I will randomly draw a winner on Saturday. Thanks for your time!

• Do you like reading stuff about my family and my life; or does that just get on your nerves?
• Do you like the occasional recipe?
• What about other crafts... besides just stamping... did you know I can sort of sew, bead, and make really cool Fimo beads? Cause I can! Do you care, or would you prefer I just stick to stamping and paper crafts? I also have a glue gun and I know how to use it!
• Would you enjoy some free streaming video tutorials? Would it make you want to read my blog more? What about Podcasts? Or are you techno-phobic? Do you know what a Podcast is?
• If you like the idea of free streaming video tutorials; then what sorts of tutorials would you like to see?
• Are you a traditional sort of crafter or are you interested in crafting to the "extreme". Are you hip to the whole "alterna-craft" movement? IE; Get Crafty, Craftser and Renegade Craft Fair? Would you like to be?
• What else are you into; cards, scrapbooking, other stamping stuff? What else? Tell me how you "get your craft on".

Thanks everyone! Stay tuned for the results... look for that post on Sunday.
