It's my Blogiversary -- time for blog candy!

Wow, I just realized that July marks my two-year "blogiversary," so I thought before the month is over I'd better do something to mark the occasion! Blogging -- both keeping up my own blog and hopping around to so many others -- has really become an important part of my life, and I'm so grateful for all the friends I've made because of it. I'm also coming up on 50,000 hits, so we've got all sorts of things to celebrate. So to create a fun-for-everyone type of party, I'm offering a pick-your-prize blog candy!

Option 1: Scrap goodies, of course! I've got a little prize pack together with some cute stamps, chipboard letters, and a whole slew of flowers and embellishments. Ooh, and a zig glue pen, which is a must have for gluing small bits.



Option 2: a $25 gift certificate to my etsy shop. If you're a Sure Cuts a Lot user, this is the prize for you! I have a ton of cute, completely original cut files perfect for use with your Cricut and SCAL. I also have some adorable fabric flower accessories and very unique wooden snowflake Christmas ornaments (those will be up by the end of August).



Option 3: If you're not a paper-crafter at all, I've included this option so you don't feel left out. With this option I'll send you 10 of my favorite handmade cards for your own personal card supply, or you can make your mom or grandma very happy by giving them as a gift. :)


All you have to do to enter this drawing is leave a comment telling me which prize you'd prefer, and if you have a blog, leave a link to where you've posted about the blog candy (you can also post to Facebook or Twitter). This blog candy offering will run for the next two weeks (until August 15th), and I'll pick a random commenter to win the prize! Thank you very much to all you wonderful friends in the blogosphere!

Happy Blogversary! 3 special prizes~! I would be happy with any of them, but if I had to make my choice, I would say number 3 - I would love some of your cards! Even though I am a scrapper I would be honoured to have some of your fabulous work in my collection!

Oh wow, congrats on your 50,000 hits, way to go. And thanks for being so sharing with the prizes, even three to choose from, you are spoiling us. Being an avid scrapaholic Option 1 will definitely be my choice. I have posted a link of your candy in my sidebar over at DOING LIFE

I share a love-hate relationship with digital memory because of the way prices are always,and I mean always dropping. I absolutely hate buying SDs for my R4 / R4i at (what seems to be) a crazy bargain price only to see it become ten percent cheaper a few weeks later.
