Blog Candy is coming!! Celebration 2018 is in the works!

It's CELEBRATION TIME!! 

I am so very happy to report that I am about to hit another year of Seizure free life following 2 brain surgeries.  As some of you may know, I have a HUGE celebration every year and give away a TON of goodies to all of stamping friends (that's you, everyone who visits my blog) All over the world!!
I am so very fortunate to still be seizure free, about 50% of people who have the surgeries that I did will go back to having seizures.

Here's a wonderful card using a sweet image from By Miss Rach stamps, who will be giving away prizes next month (along with many other Digi stamp shops!! WOO HOO, that announcement is coming soon).  Here's a great image in her shop, it's called Little Cockatiel.


I wish the photo came out better, it's actually done in fluorescent marker with greys, as many cockatiels are very vibrant colors.  I don't the final colors picked up well at all on this picture.  


Now, for some goodies:  Here's just SOME of the prizes that are coming.....these are only SOME of the stamps and diecuts more photos later














Goodies will start being given away everyday in February, so be sure to tell all your crafting friends!
