thar' be BLOG CANDY, folkes!

I celebrated my blog -o- versary recently and am just getting around to uploading candy! So, tell you what - I'm going to make this candy available 'til midnight EST on April 15th, and you can have multiple chances to win ... and I'll update this blog post regularly to add more candy to sweeten the pot! Blog candy's open to US readers - sorry to neglect others but I have to check out international shipping regulations, folkes! Make sure to leave me a way to contact you within your comment! I'll post the winner on my blog on 4/16 and if prize isn't claimed within 48 hours will pick another winner.

How do you get multiple chances to win the candy, you ask? Any of these will get you an entry:

adding Wednesday's blog booty

hi folkes; long time, no see! here's today's addition to the blog candy!

My Mom and I both collect cardinals, so I'm forever checking out bird stamp sets. Here's a couple that I picked up recently - both sets for me, and another set for one lucky blog visitor. Leave a little love at the original blog candy post to be added to the drawing. I'll draw a name on April 16th, then post the winner on my blog, and try getting in touch with you if you leave your e-mail addy.

'nuff said. I'm gonna go stamp a card using one of my new stamp sets! catch ya again just after midnight for the last of the booty!

yesterday is history ...

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present. that's why they call it a gift!

I oops'd Tuesday. I'd MEANT to post additional booty to my blog candy, honestly, but time got away from me. I can just hear my Mom quoting, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions!" Yes, Mom! So, tell ya what I'm gonna do, folkes. I'm posting additional blog candy today HERE as a timed message for yesterday ... so it's KINDA posted yesterday (grins), right?! Then I'll add a post for additional blog candy for today, and then add a timed post for after midnight so I'll be sure to have everything added! That blows my "post a message for each day I add the candy" rule so I'll modify my original post. Leave a message on my original post to enter the drawing for the entire blog candy package. Enjoy!

found camera ... added blog candy!

Today's all about flowers and bows and eyelets. Sigh ... we had an all out search party today at our house. I'd lost my camera and had been unable to add any pictures to the blog all week. Today I told offered either a movie outing or early birthday present to which ever one was first to find it! My birthday boy won out - he got a PS3 game today while his birthday is still a week or so away! So ... here's some additional candy, folkes!

This gets added to my growing pile of blog booty, and you can enter a multitude of ways - see original blog candy post, which will be updated to show the whole stash! The packaging could change , as I have plenty of plastic bags but plan to fit everything into a large pizza box, so the flowers will be moved to an appropriate container.

Here's a link to ABC Toys and Crafts blog candy - stop by and leave a little love by April 17th if you're interested! I AM!

... and yes, I'm adding goodies to my own blog candy today! I'm off to go take a pic now!

Coke - Share the Love

We need one of these on OUR campus!

in with the new, out with the old

I have such great timing (NOT!), having purchased a family of markers just last month ... but with the arrival of new color families comes the departure of these SU colors. It's always a mini shock to the system, but I repeat my mantra: change is good!

edited to add 4/7 3:30 p.m.: I've since read that the retiring colors will be available through June 30, 2010. After June 1, they are available while supplies last only.

Here's a sneak peek at the retiring colors!

new SU colors peek

Just a quick post tonite ... sorry I've been SUCH a slacker this past week but I HAD to share the pic of SU's new colors that I spotted while blog trolling this evening. Enjoy! I'll catch you tomorrow, when I promise I'll add to the blog candy again!

edited to add: I've since read that the new color collections will be available July 1, 2010 ... and what about the In Colors, you ask? I read today (Wed, 4/7) that, beginning this year, In Colors will debut in collections of five and stick around for TWO years instead of just one. Next year five MORE will debut so then we'll have 10 In Colors.
