While you're there, don't forget to enter their 2012 World Card Making Day Card Contest!

I Won Some Blog Candy on Royal Blog Tour..... Yippee!!!!

One of my favourite things to do is look at other stamper's blogs and what better way to indulge myself than to go on a blog tour.  Well that's exactly what I did from Nov 5 - 8, I visited the 70 sites that were featured on the Royal Blog Tour.  All of the projects were simply awesome and the blog sites were so inspiring.  I just had a ball!  Of course, while I was blog hopping I made sure I left comments on each and every site, as they were so deserving and who doesn't like to get some positive feedback. 

Some of the sites offered Blog Candy and although I would have left a comment anyway, I made sure I followed their special instructions and left a comment for them.  When the tour finished I went onto their site to see if I had won any of the fabulous prizes that had been offered, but much to my disappointment I didn't win anything.  Then, about 3 days after the RBT was over I received a note from Jennifer Blomquist who is the author of North West Stamper blog saying I had won her Northern Hearts Card Candy.  WOW!  You can't imagine my excitement, I was so thrilled.  And as if that wasn't enough, I was even more thrilled when a parcel arrived a few days later with this beautiful box and set of card embellishments (not to mention the chocolate - did I mention Ghiradelli?) spilled forth.  Her set was even more beautiful in real life and the cute little box that held everything is just exquisitely crafted.  Jennifer's blog is chock- a-blok full of wonderful projects and I hope you'll check out her site at http://www.nwstamper.com/, it's well worth the trip.   Thanks Jennifer you really made my day with this great project!!!


Even though the Royal Blog Tour is over for now and all the prizes have been won, there is still an opportuity to visit the blog sites as they are still available for viewing.  They are so worthwhile visiting.  I know I am going to be going back and visiting them again because there were so many special seasonal projects that I am interested in looking at again, and maybe trying my hand at.  Have fun and enjoy the tour!

Before I announce the winners names, I'd like to thank all of you for participating and sending me your great comments.  I loved hearing about your favourite new products from the Holiday Mini and receiving your great reviews and awesome comments regarding my blog and being a UStamp Designer again.  Much appreciated!!!   Now my two winners names were drawn using the Random Number Picker ( 2 numbers from 13 comments (I had to disqualify one because it was entered twice) and the winners names are:  #2 Jessica Cruz and #12 Debi Hadley.  They're comments were:

#2:  Jessica Cruz:  Hi Penny!! Tx for visiting my blog. Im now your follower too!! Many blessings.
Jessica U  http://www.rememberj.blogspot.com/

#12:  Debi said...I've seen lots of advertisements for this, but didn't really know what it was. It would be awesome to have a free pass just to get acquainted with it before I take the plunge.  Thanks, too, for your sweet comment on my blog.

So thank you ladies, and congratulations for being my winners!  I'll be in touch with you and I've submitted your contact information to Dawn Raspas and she'll email your free passes/invites to join today!  See you on the boards!
