BLOG CANDY!

October 14, 2008 By Connie | 38 Comments

In celebration of being published in Paper Crafts Magazine for the first time, I’m offering YOU some Blog Candy! I also want to thank you for reading my Blog and for your comments. I like hearing from you!

This is the candle I submitted to Paper Crafts…aren’t they awesome for sending it back to me? The Blog Candy does NOT include the candle…sorry. I picked up several of the candles and holders at the dollar store a couple years ago and they sat in my cupboard. When Paper Crafts sent out a call for using rub-ons in different ways, I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration rub-ons on the candle, wrapped some ribbon around the stand, added some beads from the Pretties kit and sent this in to them. VERY simple, but makes a pretty impressive gift, I think!

So…for Blog Candy…you will get this October issue of Paper Crafts Magazine AND a 1 year FREE Gift Subscription to Paper Crafts Magazine! Unfortunately this will be limited to new subscribers only! (Don’t worry…I have another Blog Candy Award coming up SOON that everyone can participate in!)

So, leave me a comment telling me one thing you’ve seen on my Blog that you really like or one thing that you’d like to see me do with my Blog. I’ll chose a random number from all the entries. Please, only one comment per person! Thanks! Winner will be drawn Sunday, October 19 at 5:00 PM.
