Who is ready for some MYTIME MAIL??? Well I said if I came home and I was up to 10,000 views I would post some goodies! Reply to this and I will announce a random winner of Friday morning! Say 10am eastern time.

So here is what the winner will receive-A pkg of Making Memories  round chipboard alphabet. I LOVE this stuff. If you have no clue what I’m talking about see the bottom post. I have a card with a round piece of chipboard, altered, that is published in Paper Made Easy.

Sorry I have no time for a photo cause ,Alexa has chemo today, icky weather = horrible photos, and I have had no chat time cause I have some tight deadlines. Can you believe Ive got to start Christmas card! Crazy huh? I did do 5 and they are cute. Sorry can’t share- YET! Promise to chat tonight on SCS, and post photos tomorrow of other fun stuff!

Since I will be busy the next few days, I thought it would be fun to get to know my readers, and “Pretend Stamping Friends” better!

So reply to this post by answering the following questions

1) How long have you been stamping?

2) Do you remember your first stamp, and if so what was it, and do you still have it.

3) What is your favorite technique?

4) What item are you DYING to buy but keep putting off?

5) What is your MOST used tool? (besides your paper cutter people!)

Here is my answer

1) Stamping for 3 years

2) My first stamp is by Hero Arts, and was a flower, yes I still have it.

3) HMMMM my favorite technique, definitely faux stitching. and anything that adds sparkle, lately its my pearlescent chalks, and popping acetate, but keeps changing!

4) Im really wanting the Prism markers! No reason I just do!

5) My most used tool- Cuttlebug! Love the embossing folders-mini and large ones!

Now its your turn! Have a great day. And those of you getting the flooding like we are-stay warm & dry!

PS Sorry its not Disney stamp/scrap related I seriously was so summed to find NOTHING!

I am overwhelmed with all the PM’s, comments and letters of encouragement. So I am going to give away one of my favorite new embellishments- PRIMA SPRITE’s in Pink!!!!!

My card made using a Sprite, and Whiskers , and a set of acrylic stamps from Michaels!

All you have to do is leave a comment about the following-

What is your favorite color?

What is your favorite color to use when stamping?

What is your favorite embellishment/why?

What would you like to see on my blog?

I will have a random person selected Friday night 6pm eastern time. Make sure you check back so you can send me your address if you won! I have to pop it in the mail on Saturday cause we are leaving for Florida!

Here are my answers!

My favorite color is purple.

My favorite colors for stamping are anything with Chocolate Chip (real chocolate is a big fave too)

Favorite embellishment is ribbon and primas of course.

Thanks for playing and good luck!

The good thing is I will be posting samples made with my new goodies!

Whats inside?

Well I got the rest of my Polka Dot Ribbon from Jody’s share.

A Muse goodies-stamps (farm themed), note-cards, A Muse candy, scalloped window pebbles, and a few other goodies.

Penny Black stamp (link under construction?), and sentiment. You’ll see later.

New! Lizzie Anne stamps. VERY cool.

A big order from Jacksonbelle-the new Fancy Pants acrylic stamps, some Prima’s, and Prima paper-of course some more ribbon.

So stay tuned…….

OMG! Can you believe I got mail from Japan!

Alicia AKA (militarystampingmom) sent me these goodies from there. I’m in shock! How cool is it to get mail from Japan! Now I must send her something from Target. Do you think they have a Target In Japan?

Anyway-Alicia thanks SOOOOOOO much! Im so excited to try out these new goodies. I hope to create something before we leave for Disney with them, then post it back here! Your letter was SO sweet. I was so touched by your words.

Everyday I am AMAZED at all the wonderful people who I have met through sharing my art on SCS! I get some of you who tell me the sweetest things ever! I appreciate all of you! I am especially happy to hear that what I do helps inspire you in some way!

Thanks so much!

OK I have a dilemma, and need your help!

To thank you for helping me I will randomly draw a winner on Friday, from the list of people who comment on this post.

First we will talk about the free goody.

I made this carrot out of Bazzil card-stock. I got the template at Target! How cool huh?

Anyway Christine from All That Scraps designed this cute little duck on the tag called “bunny ears”. Her designs are called C.C. Designs-and are super cute!  Since I’m in LOVE with her new stamp I figured I would give one away! So the lucky winner will get this stamp (mounted on e-z mount) inside my cute little carrot holder.

You an see her stamps on her website @ www.allthatscraps.com

So here is my dilemma.

OK so I have started this blog. Now I am torn about what to do about uploading my creations. This is where you, and your opinions come in. BRUTAL HONESTY OK.

 I think the point of my blog is to not only share, but teach, and have fun with what I do. I can obviously share more on here about my creations than anywhere else. As well as life in general , but plan on sticking to the stamping thing mostly.

That being said, should I keep SOMEof my creations EXCLUSIVE to my blog. Meaning I will not upload them on SCS.

OR post them in both places?

Now I will definitely continue to post regularly on SCS no matter what, but I guess I figure why check my blog if you can see my stuff in my SCS gallery, and visa versa. Does that make sense?

What is the point of uploading in two places for everything? How does that keep it interesting. Lately I have been like

“for more creative info check my blog”

 and Im not crazy about doing that. I still fill in the recipe and give a general commentary on my creations. I hat when people give NO recipe and then direct you to their blog. I dont know why I just do. Plus I think the rules are you need to give some recipe.

Do you think uploading in both is good? Cause if you missed it here you may see it there?

Alright-now I’m turning the mike over to you-my pretend stamping friends! LOL!

To post on both or be exclusive. Any and all opinions appreciated.
