For those who are old and new, wonderful prizes will be given out everyday this month. I have so much goodies this year for everyone. I am so very thankful to be here and be happy and healthy. For those of you are new and haven't been here, this wonderful celebration comes in February as in 2010 I was so very ill and met the doctor that finally saved my life, he got me in to have brain surgery just a few months after he met me and I have never been the same since!! (you can read my store here--click here)
I am so happy and thankful to be here, huge thanks to all those around me and to all those who have donated wonderful prizes (PLEASE tell me if I didn't include you, I REALLY want to add everyone)

Wonderful Companies who have sponsored Prizes:
So, now, for a little technical stuff. As in the recent years past, the cost of mailing overseas has gotten much higher. To combat that I have simply changed what I can send overseas to things like flat stamp sets or dies. They have to be things I can include in a flat envelope. Wish I could send much more, but as soon as it's a package, the price is SIX times a card rate. Better to get a nice single prize or wonderful digis than for me to exclude anyone. I love all my friends all over the globe and I won't exclude anyone!!
So please do let me know if you are overseas and try and answer the questions once and a while as I am actually paying attention to what it is you like, if you only get one or two goodies, lets make them something you will really love, eh?
As for everyone, I look forward to getting to know you all month long. I don't mail out the prizes until the end of the month. As previous winners can tell you I am pretty quick at getting out all the prizes and I will let everyone know when they hit the post office. Please keep in mind that if I do get a job in the next month that will also slow down the mailing process. I expect many people will win more than once, so even after you win, continue to play as I will often award multiple winners each day and I will keep track of how many times you have won. Typical prizes may include a stamp set or a set of embellishments packs. I have ALL sorts of goodies this year.
This posting will be the master list from which winners will be added all month long, so even if it's near the end of the month, if you are just arriving, please leave a comment here!
Hugs and thanks for celebrating with me! To all of you out there struggling with epilepsy or your own health issue, I hope you will find the right doctor who will save your life like my doctor did.
NOW, on to the celebration!!!
Wow Holley, it is going to be such a busy time for you. Congrats on your amazing anniversary too

A huge congrats on another year, Holley! I also count this as how I got to know you better through the fabulous Sandra Caldwell. Lots of love and best wishes for continued health. xxD
ReplyDeleteOh my gracious, Holley, you have gone through so much. I had no idea about your surgeries as I haven't followed your blog all that long and just now read "your story". What courage and strength you have. I received a link to your blog from another stamper friend and absolutely revel in receiving daily inspiration for my card making. I think my idea pool had dried up...lol. I love going back over your card creations because I always find an exciting design here. Thanks so much sharing and letting me follow your wonderful blog. May God Bless.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Barbara

ReplyDeleteWoohoo, Holley! Congratulations on 7 years seizure-free and healthy! You really know how to celebrate! You were fortunate to find that doctor and it's amazing what a difference the surgery made in your life! You are awesome! Your bursting heart card speaks volumes! I love how you coloured her and I love the embossing along the left and right, or is it die-cuts; whatever it is, looks beautiful! I'm in Canada so I'm not sure if that counts as overseas but I know postage is very expensive. It sounds like you have this giveaway very well organized! Looking forward to your month-long celebration!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation. I am honored to celebrate your good condition every year. Wish to remain forever. Thanks for chance to win this gorgeous prize. Wish you all the best.
