BLOG CANDY for Celebrating 5,000 hits!!

This is very exciting for me and I hope it will prove to be exciting for you too! I can't tell you how happy I am that my blog has been visited 5,000 times (and climbing) by people who share in my passion to papercraft!
So far this has been a very rewarding experience for me and I can't thank you all enough for visiting my blog, encouraging me by visiting and even sometimes leaving me some love in the comments section! I get some praise (upon request) from my family, but it always feels good when another card maker or scrapbooker finds something they like in my work! Call me vain, but I like the pats on the back! :-)


So to celebrate this occasion, I have a little package put together to give to




ONE LUCKY WINNER!!




Here is the BLOG CANDY that I will be giving away this Sunday, April 5th, 2009.






Included in this package is:
  • MM Chloe's Closet Paper Pack (18 sheets double-sided)


  • MM Chloe's Closet Blossoms and Buttons (136 pieces)


  • MM Chloe's Closet Trims (set of 6, 1 yd ea.)


  • Chloe's Closet Stick Pins (30 pins)


  • 2 Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folders (Number Collage and Script)


  • 2 Cuttlebug Dies (Funky Squares and Funky Circles)


  • 2 Colorbok Chipboard Shaped Albums (Butterfly and Flower)


  • American Crafts B&W Ribbon Pack (24 feet total)


  • Hero Arts Art Flowers (Pastel Collage, 24 pieces)


  • Studio 18 Dimensional Stickers (12)


  • Jolee's Jewels Swarovski Elements (30 pieces)



Not pictured but also included in the BLOG CANDY is

  • One FREE Bucket of Cutting Files from the Wishblading Well (For my friends with electronic die cutting machines. (Click here to see available buckets)

Now that I have your attention...


do you want to know how you can win this BLOG CANDY?



It is simple and you can have up to three chances to win!!



TO GET ONE CHANCE TO WIN


Simply leave a comment on this posting of my blog and tell me one thing that is on your bucket list. A bucket list is something that you want to do before you "kick the bucket." You can see my Bucket List posted down the right side panel of my blog!



TO GET A SECOND CHANCE TO WIN

Post an entry on your blog that talks about and links to the BLOG CANDY that I am giving away. It is a way that you can spread the news to others and a way that people can learn about my blog. (Remember, one of the things on my Bucket List is to be chosen to be on a DT for a stamp company! Wink!)

Be sure to add a comment (can be included in the bucket list one from above or it can be a seperate one) that includes a direct link to the blog posting that talks about my BLOG CANDY (not just your main blog address.)

Copy and paste this link to give to your blog readers...

http://mybucketoverfloweth.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-candy-for-celebrating-5000-hits.html

If you don't have a blog than list the link above on an online community forum that you belong to (be sure not to break any rules) and leave a link to the posting in your comment to me.


TO GET A THIRD CHANCE TO WIN


Become a Follower of my blog. Simply click on the gadget to the right and sign yourself up as a follower. Hopefully you like what you see enough that you will want to come back and see new creations, but at the least this way you will find out also when future BLOG CANDY and FREE Cutting File GIVEAWAYS are posted!

I will be leaving this posting at the top of my Blog until Sunday when I draw randomly for the lucky winner of the BLOG CANDY.


Scroll down to see new posts and more paper craft creations!

(Edited to add that I couldn't figure out how to keep this post at the top so I will be providing a link to this blog candy on each new post until the contest ends!)


Have a great day and may your bucket always overflow with Good Fortune!
