Blogiversary Candy Give Away

***BLOG CANDY IS NOW CLOSED***

This post will stay on top until

27th April 2009
Please scroll down for the current post

It is coming up to my first blogiversary at the end of April and I wanted to do a Blog Candy Give Away to Celebrate a year of craft blogging.

The candy is a collection of ribbons, brads, beads, fabric flowers, shaped eyelets, with some more things creeping in as we progress through the month! But the stars of the show are a pot of my two favourite Shimmerz paints - Angel Wings and Blingz Flashee Fushchia from the very lovely Stacey at Shimmerz Paints. If you haven't had a chance to try these fabby paints then here it is! Or if you are already a fan then you can stock up on some more for free with this candy!

So you have noticed a bag of mixed beads at the front? Well here is how you can join in on this blog candy. Leave me a comment telling me how many beads you think are in the bag! Yep, I did count them LOL!

You can have more than one go but only one go per day!

The more goes you have the more chances you have - so in my calculations that is 20 chances between 8th
and the 27th April!

Remember also to post about the candy on your blog (leaving me a direct link to the post would
be much appreciated!).

So how many beads are there....? Tee Hee I am wicked making you work for your candy! For a clue to the number just click here.


The candy will close 27th April 2009 5pm BST (GMT+1h). The people who are within plus or minus 50 beads of the correct bead count will be thrown into the pot and random.org will pick the winner.
Open internationally.

ps. keep your eye on this space becouse there might be some additions between now and the end of April :)
Tee Hee!

Candy News, Sales News, Bloggy News and a Question

So some bits and bobs for you today and perhaps a card later
if I get a wiggle on :)

First of all, just to let you know that Emma has a fantastic sale over at Sassy Crafts with everything - Yes, I said everything - reduced. The sale ends on the 12th Jan so you better get over there as soon as you have finished reading this (of course!).



Next a list of some blog candy on offer from some lovely people:
  • Tasha is celebrating her birthday (Happy Birthday Tasha) and is giving a massive £50 Glitterpot token to a lucky blogger on her blog Millie's Magical Moments. (Finishes on the 10th Jan)
  • Rach over at Papercrafts by Rach is giving away some lovely trims and bits and pieces including some fab Sugar Nellie stamps. (Finishes on the 10th Jan)
  • Simon Says Stamp have a huge prize on their blog and all you have to do is look at all their lovely stamps and say which is your favourite :) (Finishes 10th Jan)
  • Emma is celebrating 3000 hits in just a few months of blogging- way to go girl - with some lovely SU products on her blog Something Sweet. (Finishes on the 15th Jan)
Is it me or has Blog candy gotten more and more extravagant over the last few months? LOL. I will be posting my own celebratory candy soon - promise!


And now for the Bloggy News:
Have you seen that Clare Curd is starting her new range of crafty products on the 1st March? How exciting it must be to launch your own products :) She is setting up a blog for the range called Stampin' Chic so go check that out too!



Finally a Question:
How do you all read/visit the blogs you like? I held off doing the 'Follower' thing on my blog for a bit because I had signed-up to my blogs list on Google reader. But I now have both! So I have a 'Follower' list and my original reader list and see them both in Google reader.

However, this means that I have some of the blogs I read in one list, some in the other and some in both. I thought I was being so clever - everything was organised into folders, I'm going to need to redo them - hey ho.

From my 325 subscriptions (I actually thought I had more!) I have apparently read 3,356 blog posts in the last 30 Days - so that is what I do with my time? Mmm think I'm going to need to do a sort out very soon!
