Happy February Everyone! Time for a HUGE CELEBRATION!
I am so excited every year when I make it to this month, that means it is another year of seizure free life after 2 brain surgeries. I am so very thankful to all of the wonderful crafters out there who supported me and to all my new crafty friends that I am sending out crafting goodies to everyone!! I have wonderful prizes for everyone all over the world! If you are new to the celebration and haven't seen my story before, you can find it HERE.
I am starting us off with a wonderful card using am image from Polkadoodles, she's called Ruby Birthday Cake. I made this card for the contest that is happening over at the Your Scrapbook Place Card challenge. This challenge happens every month starting on the 1st for all card makers. Share your card on the contest's website for a chance to win a prize from their sponsor.
Now for some contest info:
There will be winners chosen everyday from the commenters. There will also be winners everyday chosen from those who commented on the Feb 1st posting. So no matter what day you join in the contest, always go back and make sure you enter comments on the previous days.
I like to ask questions everyday. There's a reason for that....sneaky Holley is getting to know you and what you like. The more you answer the questions the more apt you are to win the prize AND the more apt you are to get a prize you like. For example, last year a bunch of ladies told me they liked flamingos.... guess what I got several of for this year....yep, some adorable flamingo die cutters.
I do pay attention to what you say you like and try to pick prizes I think you would like.
I will start posting a winner list, when you see your name on it, simple email me your email for digi prizes or you address for mailed prizes. Also, KEEP and eye on the list!! Many people will win more than once!! My email is htondre@aol.com All prizes will get mailed out at the end of the month!
For my dear friends overseas, please understand that postage overseas from the USA is very expensive now, I would love to send you more, but it's too expensive. What I can send you is some great die cutters or clear stamp sets that will fit in letter post mail, lol one prize at a time to keep them flat. I can also send you digi stamps! I am more than happy to send you prizes though, so please join in the fun. My contests are open to everyone
Thanks so much for celebrating with me, here's to YEAR #9!!
Cheers, Holley

Loved your "Believe in Miracles" card and especially the lace that is on it. Beautiful job on the card. Congratulations on year 9 of a seizure-free year. By the way, have you received my snail mail with the 2 skulls I designed for you? Please let me know.

Adorable card Holley!!
Can't believe another year is gone!
Congrats on the 9 year milestone, it is fabulous!!
It's so much good. The nice image.
Happy to hear you are another year seizure free. I don't think people realize what an amazing feat that is. So many people go without their seizures being controlled at all. Your surgeon is pretty amazing. Your gratefulness and appreciation to him shows you don't take any day for granted being seizure free. I look forward to hearing each year that you are still doing so well.
Sending you happy smiles.

It's so hard to believe how many wonderful years your wonderful surgeon has given you! God was there to guide his hands while we all prayed for your recovery. God does hear our prayers!
Your cards always amaze me. I've loved seeing how far you're coloring and design how come over the years. You've also introduced me to so many new companies that has helped fill my house up with their wonderful products.
You mentioned flamingos as one of your prizes, and my heart skipped a beat. I started buying them for my sister and now I'm addicted too!
This card is gorgeous! I love the coloring and I assume that lace is from one of your visits overseas. I drool everytime you use it! This is another company I've missed, but now it's time for me to go check them out.
Thanks again and may God continue to bless you and John.
I think this is the prettiest card you ever made! I love it!
Btw...CONGRATS on another year!
Hi Holley this is a stunning card. Congratulations on your wonderful anniversary. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Adorable card Holley! Love the black embellishments and trim (bet that's from your trip last year). Love the fact that you actually searched out some flamingos!
Hi Holley, I am new to your blog. Your card is so pretty. Pink is my favorite color. As a nurse, I just wanted to say congrats on 9-years seizure free! I know how very difficult that can be. Thanks for the opportunity to win some great prizes while we celebrate with you.
Your card is gorgeous! And I just read your story for the first time. Wow, what a journey and what an accomplishment. Sending hugs!
Hi Holley, sorry I'm late to the party. Got hit by the dreaded flu on Wednesday. Uggh!! Congrats on 9 years. That is just fabtastic I love celebrating each year with you. Lovely card. Hugz
Aww love your card, Holley! So happy you've been seizure free these past several years! My friend had a brain surgery also to stop seizures and it's been about 20 years and he is still seizure free! Amazing what medicine/doctors can do now!

Congratulations to you on your 9th year of being seizure free, Holley. How generous of you to share your joy with us through your month-long blog celebration. I need to catch up here with my commenting, and to see your beautiful cards.
What a beautiful card! This is such a great way to celebrate this anniversary. I love the lace and details on your card!

What a gorgeous card and congratulations on your 9 years.
I'm so glad you are seizure free! What a miracle! I love your card. The colors are great and I love how you colored her. Hugs!
I am so disappointed that I have had to miss most of this fun celebration! I look forward to this every year but I injured my shoulder falling UP a flight of stairs on January 30th and have been in an immobilized sling, had surgery and physical therapy since then. To top of my run of luck I then slipped on the ice and pulled muscles in my groin and knee.(All injuries are on the same side of course.) Then, my whole thigh turned black and blue and after yet another trip to the hospital, I found out I had a blood clot thanks to the combination of blood thinners and my leg/groin injury! I am hoping that this ends my bad luck and I can just get better and enjoy the rest of your fun event!
I am so glad that you have made it another year seizure free! I am trying to catch up on all the posts! Thank you for being you! You are a beautiful lady inside and out! š✨šš«šš«š✨šš¤š¤©š¤š¤©š¤
Such a blessing that you are 9 years seizure free! I’m always so happy to help you celebrate!! Your cards are always beautiful to look at and be inspired by!
Congratulations on another year seizure free, awesome and hoping it continues for many many more!
So awesome to see you reach another year! I've been away from the crafty world for a bit and ita great to see you still here and rocking it!!

Congratulations on your surgery anniversary. I've enjoyed all of your cards this month!
I absolutely love this Card! The black and pink is so delicious together and the girl is stunningly colored! That black lace is divine and has me searching for something similar because I have a project that it would be perfect for!
I am so happy that I have been able to join your celebration again this year even though I had to start late and play catch up!! It is definitely worth it because your cards are beautiful and inspirational and the questions are thought provoking!
Congratulations to all the winners so far and good luck to everyone for the rest of the event, We are all winners because we are sharing your awesome continued good health and we are able to be a part of such an amazing community! TFS!
This month has definitely flown by and has lit a fire under my creative butt! Even though I am one handed right now I just had to create a card the other day because you inspired me! Thank you for the kick in the butt that I needed!
Congratulations again on 9 healthy years!
Love all of your cards..
I just have to say say thank you again for putting on this amazingly awesome event for the last nine years! I know how much work it is to write each of the posts, make a card each day, gather all the prizes together, pick daily winners, then pick gran prize winners, get sponsors together, figure out what questions to ask, deciding which goodies fit each winner, sort, address and mail everything and still find time to eat, sleep and breathe!
You truly ARE a beautiful person inside and out! You have my deepest admiration and appreciation for all you do to get ready for the big event, keeping it going all month and then finishing it up in a very timely manner! THANKS YO, THANK YOU, THANK YOu!
