Birthday Banner and a WINNER!!!

One of my friends' daughter is turning one soon and as she was planning the party she found this cute banner.  However the price tag was a bit more than she wanted to spend so she called and ask if I could do it for less.  OF COURSE I CAN!!!  :) 

So, I picked out papers and ribbons, borrowed my sister-in-law's Cricut and whipped up this cute little thing (except it's NOT very little!  lol)

Sorry the pictures are so...dreary.  I'm tired of this weather.  It's got me in a weird funk and everything looks dirty!!!

Now, the part I know you were all waiting for....the winner of the $10 gift certificate for Color Me Daisy was.....

MARA!!!!

(e-mail me or leave your e-mail in the comments and I'll get you your prize girl!  :)

Stay Tuned!

for a giveaway later this weekend from my followers. 

Why you ask?  Because today is my birthday and I want you all to celebrate with me!!! 

and what is this prize you ask?  How about a $10 gift certificate to Color Me Daisy?!?! 

How about a Guessing Game?

Michelle over at Color Me Daisy doesn't have any sneak peeks ready for us of the two AMAZING kits she's getting ready for October, but she's decided to play a guessing game instead! You get a ballot into a drawing for a RAK for each guess (but you can only guess once per clue!)

So what are you waiting for?! Hop on over to the blog and start guessing! She'll post a new hint every day until she's got the sneaks ready for us! :)

Got a Minute?

Then go vote for my friend Joyce! Yup, this is a shameless plug. She's trying to win this amazing desk. Now, I know you would LOVE one and so would I, so why not take a minute and help her get one?

Just go here and vote for contestant number 303. This is what her project looks like, isn't it cute?!?!

RAK-a-Day-in-May

Blog Candy Reveal

Sorry I didn't make it back when I said I would. I've got a lovely summer cold and Zeke got sick...for the first time ever! The doctor said he has a virus so there's nothing we can do but wait it out. Poor guy, he's got such a sweet disposition it makes it so much worse when he cries and is fussy because you know how bad he must feel! However, he's a little trooper and still smiling at people even in the midst of fussing.

Ok, enough of trivial details that I know you were all dying to hear and on to the good stuff! Denise...here's what I'll be mailing out to you on Monday. Congratulations!!!!

Blog Candy Update

Sorry for the confusion...you have/had 24 hours from the time of the blog candy post to leave a comment. That means you have until 3:00pm CST TODAY!!! Keep leaving those comments!!!

Today's the Day!!!!!

Yes, you can stop checking in tirelessly every day...because today is the day...today is Blog Candy Day! So...just leave me a comment and you'll be entered. I don't have a picture of the goodies I'm going to be giving away. Why you want to know? Because what I give away all depends on you! For every 5 comments the blog candy gets bigger! That's right...more people sign up...I give away more stuff! (and I promise it will be good stuff) So now all you have to do is go get all your friends to leave comments too and see if you can make me spend all my money on your prize! (I also plan on being back later with some projects, but right now I need to have some Zekiel time while big sis is sleeping and not trying to steal the show.) Laters girlies!!!



******** Please note********* Comments are now closed for the blog candy

Scrappy Stuff

Just popping in to show you a LO and my first ever sketch. (You're right...it was for a challenge! lol.)

Also, but sure you check back in everyday this week (or within the next week that is...) because I'm going to be giving away a RAK ...the catch is its going to be a one day deal. You have to check in everyday to find out when it is and then you'll only have that day to leave a comment. Hope to see you all here!

Look what I Won!!!!!

So I was playing around on the net yesterday and went to check out Tinkering Ink's blog. It was friday and apparently they always have a "Friday Freebie." This week it was a signed copy of this book...and guess what? I WON IT!!!!! Too cool. Thank you
Tinkering Ink and thank you random number generator!

Moving on, this weekend is Virtual Scrapbooking Night over at Splitcoast Stampers and one of the challenges was to make a page with a removable booklet for journaling it. This is my booklet. Each different color is another page and I'm going to use it to write down all those fun little "Kessa-isms" that I don't want to ever forget! The pp for the cover and the foam thicker are from the July Addicted Scrappers Sunshine and Popsicles kit.
And here's the page the booklet goes in! I am having so much fun using this kit!!! I'm loving the Cosmo Cricket papers and I'm having a BLAST fussy cutting them! lol. The everything but the cloud paper, ribbons and some of the letter stickers are from the A.S. kit. I also have to give credit to my DH who came up with the quote for the top of the page...even though I messed it up! lol. It was APPARENTLY supposed to be "Hookin' up words and phrases and clauses" Oh! I have an idea, leave me a comment and tell me what that's from. If I have more than 5 people leave comments I'll have a drawing for some goodies on...hmmm...Tuesday. Ok? Ok. (Kessa says that all the time and it totally cracks me up!)
credits: red bg - Bazzil, clouds pp - love, elsie, alpha stickers - little davis designs and ???, ribbon, Cosmo Cricket pps and photo corner, hand doodling, faux stitching, paper rick rack, AC foam Thickers

A Winner!

Using the random number generator the winner of the blog candy is Jodi!!!! (who says her favorite scrapping goody right now is flocked paper.) E-mail me (iact2@hotmail.com) with your mailing addy and I'll get your goodies out to you Jodi! Ok, that's all for now, but I'll be back later tonight with a longer post and hopefully some crafty things for you!

BLOG CANDY!!!!!!!! because....

I made the DT over at Addicted Scrappers!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooo excited. This is the first time I will have ever been on a DT and there was sooo much talent in the call. I was truly shocked. Anyway, in celebration I'm going to give away some stuff! (who doesn't love blog candy?!?) So, all you have to do is leave me a comment and maybe link me up to your favorite line of scrap goodies right now and I'll draw a name on friday. So without further ado...here's the loot!
