For the Fall, Ya’ll Bloggy Giveaway that is! I remember seeing Shannon’s Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway when I was brand new to the blogging scene and wondering what the deal was. Now I know. Basically, a whole bunch of generous bloggers come up with fun things to giveaway. Just like that. No strings attached.
I was too shy to get in on all the good stuff over the summer, but after winning Megan’s recent giveaway, I now know how much fun winning can be and will not be left out this time around. But to be fair, I thought I’d give something away too.
20 Handmade Christmas Cards! (Please note that the cards will not be EXACTLY as shown. I’m getting a new Christmas stamp next week, and I’ll use that one to make your cards. But I promise they’ll still be adorable!)
Any of you who know me well, know that when it comes to papercrafts I am most decidedly a scrapbooker. Not a a cardmaker. No siree. I do not DO cards. But then at my monthly stamp club party last Friday night, my fabulous friend and Stampin’ Up consultant, Barb, demonstrated the cutest card ever. Ever. And so, for this one card at least, I have been converted! I have decided to make my own Christmas cards this year, and if you’re the lucky winner of my giveaway, I’m making yours too! Ok, at least 20 of them. I know some of you have MUCH, MUCH longer lists (not to point fingers or anything Allison).
So, here’s the scoop. Comment on this post before 1200 noon (Pacific Time) on Sunday November 4th. I will conduct the draw later on Sunday and post the winner on Monday November 5th. The giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere in the world. You know – for all my international fans! And be sure to drop by Shannon’s site to see all the other giveaways and get in on some of them too! Good Luck!

I have put off for this long and I will continue to put off for as long as`I possibly can, the great Christmas card send off. But I just to comment about what a dedicated and fun blogger you’ve become. Way to go!

Very Generous! Thanks for the chance to win! I’m a former scrapbooker only! I felt as if it was too much trouble to stamp. Well, after I discovered the watercolor crayons and coloring in a stamped image, well, I’m a convert! I haven’t scrapbooked in WAY too long! I’m getting together with the girls tomorrow night to scrap, but I’m gonna have to try real hard not to pack my stamping stuff to work on christmas cards! I even took my stamping stuff with me CAMPING! Of all things to take!

Wow, this is a fun giveaway. I’d really be on the ball to get some of my Christmas cards addressed and filled out before Thanksgiving! Ha, that would be awesome! FYI: not because you are giving things away at all, but you should sell your cards on Etsy. It’s a fun site and really not that much trouble to get started. My sister-in-law does it, and she has really sold a lot of things. There are items for all types of people, so you never know!
