A Blog Candy Blessing

     Goodness!  Another year has almost disappeared and I have so many blessings to be thankful for.  God has been good to me in so many ways.  He's shown mercy, patience, and love beyond measure to me, who am so undeserving of it. 
      I have been blogging almost two years now and have some wonderful friends who have shared that journey with me.  They've been my cheerleaders, team mates, fellow challenge competitors :-), and most of all my friends.  My little blog has right at 400 followers, something I never dreamed would happen.  Thank each and everyone of you for being a part of my daily life.  Your words, help, and camaraderie mean the world to me.
     In honor of this wonderful season of giving, I am offering up a little blog candy.  It's nothing huge, just a few goodies I'd like to share with one of my followers.


Contents:
from Kraft Outlet
5 sheets of chipboard
5 sheets of Light Brown Cover Weight cardstock
5 sheets of Kraft Brown Cover Weight cardstock
5 sheets of Buff Ivory cardstock
5 sheets of Lunch Bag Kraft cardstock
Assortment of Grungy tags
1 yard Natural Twill Tape
Other
1 yard white lace
1 yard beige lace
1 6" x 6" My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Gertie paper pad
$15.00 Gift Certificate from A Day For Daisies

     I have been so blessed to be a part of both the Kraft Outlet/Kraft Journal and A Day For Daisies design teams.  I wanted to share some of their wonderful products with you.
     My lovely ADFD boss, Tammy has offered to match my Gift Certificate so I will also have a second winner of a $15.00 gift certificate.  YAY!
     So what do you have to do to win?
  1. Be or become a follower of my blog, but only if you enjoy my work.  Please don't do it just for the candy.
  2. Add your name to Mister linky below and leave me a comment that you want to join in the fun.  You can even tell me about some way you've been blessed the past year if you want to.
  3. You can share this with your friends by posting a picture of my candy with a link to my blog (http://iwannabuildamemory.blogspot.com/) in your sidebar if you'd like to.  This is not a requirement.  Please, no candy bar blogs.
  4. One entry per person please.
     This candy will run through December 31st.  I'll announce the winner on New Years Day and start someones crafty year off with some free goodies.  :-)
     Thank you all for another wonderful and funfilled year of blogging and crafting with you!
     Blessings!

I am so very thankful for the Lord's blessings upon my life as well as on my family. I couldn't ask for more.
Thank you for being a blessing!
Happy Huggies ~

Hi Tracy: I am happy to follow here and on YouTube. My blessing this year is I have been recovering from a kidney illness for a year now and I am finally starting to feel like my ol' self again. While I have been home recuperating God has given me the ability to be creative and find many amazing individuals here on the internet to connect with and share stories. I am blessed with family, friends and to have God in my life.

Star said...

I am a new follower...but I promise it's not just for the candy! As you might know, I ran across your blog during the recent Digi Doodle Shop challenge, and I just think you are so very talented!

Hi Tracy!
I am new to blogging and so am only your follower as from today.
I wanted to tell you which of your cards I liked the best but I really cant. They are all soooo beautiful! But I especially love your vintage look ones. You are very talented!
Would also love to win some of your candy!
Love Pearl x

Jennifer said...

Hi, what a great give-a-way. I've always loved cross-stitch, knitting and sewing, but I'm rather new to the art of paper crafting. All the papers, punches, stamps and inks are fascinating to me. Many thanks to my friend Larisa in Russia for introducing me to these "candies" and to you lovely blog. I have left my link and become a follower so I hope I win these beautiful items. Merry Christmas!

ShersL84bed said...

Tracy your cards are beautiful. I feel mine are pretty plain, for some reason I can't seem to get the hang of mixing patterns, and adding flowers and ribbons. Don't critique your cards so hard, I would love to make them like you do.
I'm a follower and hope you will stop by my blog too.

Although I am a new follower, I began to follow your blog when you suggested that I enter my card in The Kraft Journal. So on that note thank you, I am now in the process of making one of those beautiful books you made and gave a fantastic tutorial on, so again thank you. I'll let you know when I upload it in a few weeks so you can take a peek.

I am thankful for many things and like you, for all the friends I've made through this forum, with our daily struggles, this is truly a blessing. So thanks for the inspiration I know that I will find throughout the year.

Have a Happy New Year
Hugs from New York
