I thought this amazing Gorjuss Girl was just perfect for starting off this year's contest. I am so very thankful after the brain surgeries to be here at year 6 and still be healthy and seizure free. I feel like there is so much to celebrate and I have so much goodies to share with everyone! My blog candy is available to USA and abroad. I do send overseas and/or give digi prizes to my friends overseas.
I posted a longer message yesterday detailing mailing, prize announcements and such (click here to read that if you missed it).
This posting is the MAIN drawing listing, be sure to leave a comment here as today's comment list will have prize winners selected from it all month long!! Then add comments on each day's post as the month goes on, typically I will announce winners from each day after about 6 days have passed. I will start up a PRIZE list and will link it to the sidebar so you can follow it and watch for your name. It will get updated daily and list the grand prizes (like large stamp sets and die cut sets) at the end of the month.
Thanks so much to my old friends and my new friends for celebrating with me. If you are new, I had two brain surgeries back in 2010 that were phenomenal. They truly changed my life and ended my seizures, my headache pain, and so much more. You can read my story here.
Let's celebrate what we have to be thankful for! (That'd be crafting :)
Cheers, Holley

I have a few gorjuss stamps and papers but they're new so can't bring myself to use them. I'm still at the looking stage I love your card.x
Congratulations on 6 miraculous years. God's miracles are awesome which is how I see you. I am so thankful to have Him to guide me after the death of my husband as He has shown me so many colors of happiness of which I am most thankful for.
Soooo happy for you!!! 6 years of having your suffering gone. What a miracle!
Yay Holley so happy for your continued health thanks for sharing with us I just love your creations .
Everything good for you Holley !Congratulations and winter greetings from Finland.
Hey, Holley. I got a chance to read your story. I am familiar with one of your meds as I take it now and have for about 7 years and I am grateful for it. I really applaud the fact that you've accomplished so much in these years. You can have all the money in the world but if you have bad health it is horrible. Good health is worth so much and such a blessing. I pray that you will continue to have good health and that the doctors have learned something from you. This is my first time here. My friend, Cindy, told me about you. Thank you for the opportunity to win blog candy. Sounds like fun.
Holley, I'm so glad the Lord has restored your health! May He give you many more wonderful crafty years!
wow! congrats!
Alicia

Congrats Holly :) this is fab news :) your work is inspiring, keep it up :)
Oh my is she adorable. Love the bit of blue with the browns. Cute card!
I am thankful that I have gotten to know you through your yearly celebration! You are an inspiration and I am glad that you share your story!
I have numerous health issues and firmly believe that sharing my story with others really DOES help. NOt only does it help others but it helps me because I know that by sharing my story it helps others be a little less apprehensive about what they are going through. Just last night I saw a conversation on FB and stuck my nose in uninvited. I am SO glad I did. A lady is having the same surgery that I had in December and she was very nervous about it. I explained to her how easy my experience was and seem to have resolved a lot of her fears! It makes me feel like I am doing something right when I can help, even if it is something little or something really big! It makes my heart happy!
LOving all of your gorgeous and fun cards and am looking forward to the rest of the month! See you next post! :-)
Hi Holley. I'm new to your story and it is so inspiring. Thank you for allowing us all to celebrate with you. Cathy x
Such a great reason to celebrat.
Blessings, Elly
Such an adorable card! Love the colors and contrasts of Brown that you used on her.
