Updated Blog Candy!

Blog Candy is now closed!
Please give me a little time to check through the comments, print them off and select a winner. Thank you! Winner will be posted by tomorrow evening - April 3.

It's about time I offer some blog candy as a thank you for all your wonderful encouragement. March is my birth month, National Craft month and on April 3 two years ago I started this blog. I had seen so many wonderful ideas on blogs that I thought it might be a good way to show my creations as well as keep in contact with my extended family and friends. I had high hopes that they'd come and comment and keep in touch. I let them know that they didn't need a blog to comment. However, I'd only get comments from them every now and then. Thankfully, I finally decided to "do" Facebook. I now have a FB group for my Olson side of the family. I'm also chatting more with my Fitzmaurice side of the family as well. Over the last year or so I've collected a few goodies to put in Blog candy prize pack. I want to reward those who've been regular commenters and followers by putting their name in twice. So for those of you who stop by regularly to leave encouragement and those that are followers of my blog as of today March 13 your name will go into the "hat" twice.
For all others for a chance to win please:
1. Leave a comment that's it!
If you'd like an extra entry please post the Blog candy photo to your blog then come back here and leave your blog address.

Here is the Blog candy as of Friday March 19...I added a AMM Tote-ally Cool tote. I tried to edit this entry so the font would be "normal" but no such luck, Blogger wouldn't let it post at all. Really it does not show super large font here in the edit window...not sure what's wrong.



Ok, not sure why this area is super large font when I've selected normal size font. I even tried small font size and it comes up huge. Oh well sorry.


Included in prize pack:
AMM Tote-ally Cool tote
BoBunny 6x6 Naked Binder
Easter Fun Clear Stamp pkg includes 1 acrylic block and ink pad (moss green)
Prima Floral Embellishments
1 bottle Scotch Tacky Glue
1 pkg Scotch Foam Mounting tape
3 Spring colored ribbon reels

1 pkg Irish buttons
4 pkg charms mom in heart, fish, guitar and lock and key
2 pkgs Cloud 9 Design rain dots (I like these for flower centers and embellishing flourishes)
3 pkgs Favorite Findings buttons - 1 dragonfly (gem blues/purples), 1 busy butterflies (clear pastels) , 1 tiny buttons (summer colors)


If I get 24 more followers (50 total) I will sweeten the prize pack and if I get 75 comments (only one post per person)on this post I will sweeten it just a bit more. This Blog candy will close on April 2, 2010 and on April 3, 2010 (my blogaversary and my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary) I will do a random draw for the winner of the candy.


Good Luck!
