1000+ Followers Blog Candy!!!!!

     Did you notice that number in my Followers box on the right?  Well I sure did.  1000+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
YAY!
     A HUGE thank you to all my followers whether you do it by Bloglovin, email, or some other form.  I appreciate each and every one of you so much.
     In appreciation of those of you who hang with me despite the eclectic offering here (or maybe because of it) I want to offer up a bit of candy.  I wish it could be more, but I don't work.  Physical mailing costs have become outrageous not to mention trying to figure out an assortment of goodies that my fellow crafters would like and use so I decided to go with a good old fashioned gift certificate so you can pick out exactly what you want or need.  How about a:

$25.00 Gift Certificate
to


     Let's keep this simple.

1.  Leave a comment below telling me how you follow
2.  NO candy only blogs 
3.  You can post this on your sidebar if you like but it's NOT a requirement.
4.  Just for fun if you want to, let me know in your comment if there's anything you prefer to see more of OR less of in my postings.  I know I've asked this in the past, but I like to get the feedback.  I want you to enjoy your visit.

     I'll leave the candy open until August 24th and announce the winner on the 25th.
     Thanks again for making my crafty journey so much fun!

Wow that is many followers!!! I used to follow on google reader by being a google follower, now that reader has closed I use feedly which nicely imported all my google reader feeds.

I must say I'm a bad reader of your blog : I usually don't really read the text and just look at the card... But I like that the text is there for when I feel like reading!

Congrats!! You are simply amazing!! I follow you through feedly. You are so inspiring~ thank you for being YOU!

Thanks for a chance to win. I love that your blog shows a great variety. Not always the latest die, or embelishment or whatever, just good card design and a focus on one image usually! I don't own the latest dies, and embelishments, so this is attainable for me too!

Well now you officially have 1002! I have been following by email for quite awhile now (I guess I never hit the follow button before) and enjoy your daily postings. It's not surprising how many followers you have - you and your blog are amazing! It is one of the very few that I visit daily! So thank you for all the inspiration (although I am sure my husband would not agree as many times I purchase stamps or other items featured in your cards - LOL). I love the variety that you provide with your cards - there is already a great balance - so keep doing what you are doing! Thanks for the chance to win some candy, but I already feel like I win daily when I read your blog!

Obviously a huge fan :)

Geri said...

Hey, Tracy...that's a whole bunch of followers, now...and I probably get the prize for the least faithful. So sorry, but the older my kids get...the busier they keep me during the summer. While I love that...it ain't good for blogging!!!;) There's no way I can comment on all that I've missed but I've sure enjoyed gazing at it! Only SOME of my favorites...that gorgeous mini (CAS??????;)...your beautiful bathing beauties (REALLY made me smile)...the beautiful fisherman image...the goblins that looked like they came straight out of Where the Wild Things Are (Loved your treatment of the images there)...ALL your Golden Girls...and my most favorite...the pretty little pink princess...she reminded me of my own...absolutely adorable!!! Congrats on the 1,000 plus...you've earned it!!!

I am a newby when it come to card making and I just found your blog and I am in love with it already. My one complaint regarding all the different video tutorials I have watched is your shown how to put the card together but no one ever shows the stamp on the card being colored and I would like to watch that being done also. Again, love your blog and congrats on having ONE THOUSAND FOLLOWERS. With that many followers I know I have found the right blog. Have a great week. God Bless, Kathy
