I will contact the winner on the 19th of February!

So I took a gander around the ol' stamp studio and lookee what I found…

So how would you like to win this loot?  You know the rules…you don't?  I put them above the picture…OH you just quickly scooted down to the picture and did not even read to see how to win? Well scroll back up there and check it out…its easy peasy…then you will have to scroll back down to the comment section…it's like aeorbics for bloggers, scroll up, scroll down, breath in, breath out…ahhh!!!! 

Good luck and thanks for stopping in, and making my first year a blast!!!

Big hugs, Di

    I just won your last blog candy, so it wouldn't be fair to win this one too, but I had to comment anyway and let you know what I like best about your blog. I love your quirky personality! I love that I can read your posts and it seems like your talking to me, not just typing up a blog post. Your jokes (like the one about blog aerobics!) are what makes your blog one of the funnest that I read. BTW, were they just sleeping or did the Blue Lagoon beauties actually die and leave that poor baby alone? I don't remember! LOL!

    My very favorite thing about your blog is your personality — it comes through in your upbeat, funny stories and attitude. It starts each day for me on a comical note that keeps me smiling all day. Craftwise, my favorite next thing to look for is your variety. I know regardless of what I want to make, whether cutsy, pretty, classic, chic, or artsy, I can find something on your blog for inspiration. For next year? Just keep on blogging and keep on doing what you're doing, I love it all. Happy anniversary and thanks for your wonderful inspiration. Sandy M

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
