It's Celebration time!!!
Can you believe it? It's celebration time!! February 2018 is here. I am so happy to be celebrating 8 years of seizure free life, and frankly just LIFE!! Let me especially Thank Dr Aboumatar and the staff of Austin Epilepsy for arranging all the amazing testing and the surgeries (2 brain surgeries) that saved my life and ended my seizures! I have all my crafting friends to be so thankful for their support during that time. If you are new and haven't see my story, you can find it HERE.
Here's some info for you all about how things work for those who are new or need a reminder.
Prizes are given to the people who leave comments each day, some randomly chosen, some chosen by a secret number, some chosen by one of the prize sponsors, etc. Every day during the blog posts I ask a question, it's wise to fill out the answer as I use that info to help gain information to select what to send everyone. I am not just trying to make you read things, I just want to learn a little about everyone and what they like. I also have sponsors who love to get feedback about their creations and what you love about their stamps.
I keep notes on what everyone likes all month long!! I swear even during the year I may see something that I know what popular during last year's celebration (like say, um, Flamingos) and buy some Flamingo die cutters for this year's contest. So I do really try and send goodies that you all want :) so the more you tell me, the better I try to choose what you would like :)
BE SURE to leave a comment today's Feb 1st as winners will be chosen from Feb 1st all month long. You can always go back to the previous days if you didn't leave a comment and fill it out. I will let you know when I choose the prizes for each day and I will create a prize winner list. When you see you name on the winner list, you can email me your Addy or email, depending on what you won. Don't stop checking the list, you may win more than once and at the end of the month there will be a bunch of prizes listed as well! here's my addy-- Htondre@aol.com
I anticipate many people will win more than once as that happens all the time, so I always wait to mail items until the end of the month. Please be patient as this year I have a job so packages won't get out as frequent as years previous. But PLEASE, if you don't ever get your package, just let me know, I usually have one or two that don't get there and I am happy to resend your goodies to you.
Thanks so much for celebrating with me this year!!
Let's start Celebrating!!

The fun begins today for you Holley, what a lovely celebration card you have made.
I am also not a digi fan, but do love dies and stamps
Big hugs to you Holley on your 8 healthy years and thank you for another fabulous party!! That card just makes me smile and is beautifully colored. My printer bit the dust 2 years ago so I don't do digis but I love stamps,dies and embossing folders. Especially love critters, text based designs, masculine images, and am trying to learn how to color this year!

and Congratulations to another year.
andmany many years to come.

What a cute card! This seems to be the “ year of the truck”- the old red pickup with a Christmas tree on it was everywhere. I love that you used the truck with hearts. Congratulations on eight years of amazing health!
A truck full of LOVE, continued good health Holley😀
Superb way to use the truck image. We have a truckload of love for you.... because you're eight years free.. because you're so kind to share your joy with us....because you make us happy.
Steampunkin' love coming your way.
Congratulations on the last 8 years. I look forward to every February to hear it. The card that you made is cute. I would be appropriate for all men regardless of their age.
Holley- congratulations on 8 years of seizure free and the 8 year anniversary of your surgery. I am so happy for you! The truck card is so cute and would also be perfect for a little boy birthday card.

Yeah, congrats on another year seizure free Holley. Helping you celebrate has become a part of my year. Love that truck full of hearts. Congrats and big HUGZ
Congratulations Holley, you are so sweet to include us as you celebrate, you have a heart as big as TX! I like doing TX theme cards when I can! Such a cute truck/love card!
Congratulations on another year of healthy blessings! I love this card! Funny story for you.... son was in kindergarten and slept at grandparent’s house on a school night. The next day I received a frantic call from school to come in for a meeting NOW! I rushed into school with my mind racing. We sat down and the school counselor asked me if I knew the kind of movies my parents let him watch. I told them that I was pretty sure he watched cartoons, home repair shows and construction vehicles. All of a sudden the room got a little lighter and they asked me what he calls his construction shows. I immediately replied with, “dirty movies”!
Yes, the school had their minds in the gutter while Mike’s was in the mud pies! We got Mike and I asked him if he had one of his dirty movies at school and if so,please go get it. He did and problem solved.
These people now realize that maybe asking a couple more questions is better than jumping to the worst conclusions.
Looking forward to celebrating with you all month long! (((HUGS))))
So glad we are celebrating another year with you. You are an inspiration. This dump truck is super cute.
So many congratulations on your continued seizure free life Holley. I am delighted for you! Such a great card for your celebration!

Beautiful handiwork again by you dear Holley! Every time I see one of your cards I know it has Turkish lace on it! Beeeeeeeeautiful truck full of hearts. Love you dear!
Holley, what a gorgeous card you have created. You have so uch to be grateful for especially being referred to the doctor who helped you cease your seizures. Onwards and upwards, take care, Kym
Love your cards and congratualtions!!!
Great card and a lovely image.

its so pretty!
Hi Holley, Big congrats on your 8th year of good health. This is a good idea too got to see lots of your cards. Barb
Congrats on your 8th anniversary of being seizure free!! Your card is great and the image is so cute.
Good to see you! Thanks for including me!
Congrats Holly! 8 years is wonderful!
I love that truck. It is very very cute!!! Great job on coloring.
Love, love your truck of hearts - so cute and great colouring! I do have lots of digis along with lots of rubber stamps and they each have their place!
So happy for your continued good health!
I love that you do this fun event to get so many people to be part of your celebration. I'm so happy to see that your are still going strong and healthy! Love that dump truck with all those hearts. I am personally sending you a ton!
Congratulations on your 8 year milestone!! I love how you colored the hearts; coloring with Copics or markers in general has always been a challenge for me. I find myself doing a lot more cutting and embossing on my cards versus straight up inking. Crafting is fun and addicting!!

Hard to believe it's February again already. Congrats on yet another year seizure free and hopefully seizure for your lifetime. Congrats on the new job as well, hopefully we will hear a bit more about that. So happy to join in on the celebration once again!
Holley, I am so happy to be celebrating another year of life with you. Your story touches me as much today as it did when I first read it. Many thanks to the doctor, who let the world keep such a generous, inspirational and creative person in our crafting community. God bless you, Holley!
Thankful for another year free of seizures and continue to love 💕 your cards you make Holley!

Congrats on 8 years Holley! That is an awesome milestone! I pray you continue to be seizure free year after year. Thank you for celebrating with us and for the awesome giveaways!
As a retired teacher, I find that story too funny for words. That's the kind of stuff my older students would make up to make me laugh.
Being blessed with another year of life is worth celebrating. I hope that you continue to thrive.
Congrats Holley on your 8 years of a healthy life and living life to the fullest. Hugs my friend.
So glad that your operations work, heres to a happy healthy life x
Oh Holley I am so happy for you. Such a fantastic milestone and having such an awesome challenge is a great way to celebrate with you.
With hugs and smiles

It's great that you're continuing your celebration of living by having this month-long give-a-way. God has blessed you by leading you to a surgeon that could make you seizure free.
My kids are always trading me about getting and saving all kinds of "junk." I also do dollhouses and miniature scenes, so those little pieces and parts i find could be the perfect thing I need to make my projects. People are always amazed when I tell them what the part used to be.
My kids *tease* me
Holly your cards are awesome! Happy 8 yrs seizure- free!!!
Congratulations on your anniversary! Such a wonderful testimony! I thought I had already posted, but I guess I didn't. :) Many blessings! xxx
I love stopping by your blog twice a day (or more) to see the latest posts! You have created so many lovely cards and I can’t wait to what you post next!
I also love that you ask so many great questions so you can try to send goodies that we will love! For me, if I win something I will use it or pass it on to someone else who can use it! No sense wasting anything! I feel blessed to be a part of this wonderful celebration for the last 3 (?) years! Thank you for allowing me to celebrate 🎉 iwith you!
I am truly happy for you in being free of those debilitating seizures.I pray that the rest of your life is free of them too. Awesome doctors. My girlfriends daughter who lives here in NY went to Texas for brain surgery & is also free and clear.HAPPY DANCE FOR ALL!!!! A lot to Celebrate and be Thankful for.
So many amazing cards and the images are fabulous! I am discovering lots of new shops to get my stamping fix! Thank you for introducing me to all of them!
Congrats to you and best wishes for continued good health! The truck is so cute and used in a way today outside of the box! Love it!
I was sure I had commented here, but I did not have any. Congratulations to you, Holley. You do this stupid job at this wonderful event. Each year, February is special. I hope everything is going well.

That love truck is so cute!
I can’t believe that there is only today and tomorrow left for this fabuliscious celebration of life! Thank you for all the effort you put into this event and the multitude of prizes that you send to all of the winners! You have a heart of gold and are very kind!
