Holley's Celebration is HERE!!

HOLLEY'S CELEBRATION IS HERE!!

Can you believe we are at 10 years?  I know I can't.  It's time for a huge celebration this year.  I am so happy to still be going along, seizure free and healthy after 2 brain surgeries.  At this point, my chances of having seizures again decreases.  The longer I go, the better my chances of continued health.  This fact is why I continue to celebrate every year.  There is no guarantee to remain this way, so each year is a gift from God.

If you are new and want to read the background story, you can see it here:

Here's an awesome stamp that was created by artist Sandra Caldwell of Babycakes DND on Etsy just for me, it's called Head's Up Holley

Card Challenge for the month with lots of additional prizes!!

We are having a wonderful contest over on the Your Scrapbook Place Challenge Blog this month (CLICK HERE) and if you create a card and participate using ANY Sandra Caldwell stamp you will get a bonus prize this month.  Also, winners will be chosen in several categories among those who use Sandra Caldwell stamps such as: Best Celebration card, Holley's Favorite, Sandra Caldwell's Favorite, Best overall card (any theme using Sandra Caldwell stamp), John's Favorite, Best Coloring, Best Embellishments,  and any other categories I think up lol!!

In addition, you can also join in on the YSBP Challenge using ANY card creation from THIS month of ANY stamp maker for the random drawing to win a prize.

Now, a little info about what will happen this month

• Prizes are given out everyday!  It will be several days after each day before I announce who the prize winners for each day are.  So if you miss a day commenting, just go back to that day and leave a comment. 

• Only thing needed to win is to leave a comment.  You don't have to follow, I don't sell anything, I am not "affiliated" with any of the companies offering prizes other than I just love their stamps.  I get NO money from them or payment.  IF you have a problem leaving a comment, just EMAIL the comment to me, htondre@aol.com and I will be sure it is added for you and you are in the drawing.

• After the first day, I will start a prize winner list that you can be checking everyday for your name, I will use the exact name that your comments appear under.  EMAIL me when you see your name with your email (if it's a digi prize) or mailing addy if it's a mailable prize.

• International players are always welcome but please keep in mind the cost of postage is HUGE for international packages.  I usually mail things like flat dies, embellishments and stamp sets, sometimes individually meaning you might get a couple of "letter mail" items instead of a package.

• I mail out all the packages at the END of the month, this is because I anticipate many people will WIN more than once or may get a grand prize at the end of the month.  PLEASE be patient with me at the end of the month I may have 70-100+  packages to mail.  I am usually pretty quick, I think past players can tell you they got their goodies within a couple weeks. 

• MOST IMPORTANTLY-- I ask questions everyday, it's a fun little way to get to know what everyone likes.  I DO pay attention to your answers.  That's how I know what you like.  I do try and match what I have as far as goodies with what you might like as a prize!  You'd be surprised what I might have if you tell me you like, Flamingos! or if you told me you don't like them, then I will not send you that!  The more you answer, the better I can choose for you.

Thanks so much for Celebrating with me!  Here's to 10 years!!
