BLOG CANDY!!!! {and a challenge!}

Okay - so I can't even give away blog candy without a challenge being involved. Is that a bad thing?!?! I guess that all depends on who you ask!


Back in February, I was celebrating my first Blog-a-versary! However, I han no Mojo and was creating NADA! So therefore, nobody was really looking at my blog, so why give away blog candy? So...since my mojo has returned, I have also hit 10,000 hits!! I am actually over 12,000! I find that AMAZING! So....that's where the blog candy part comes in. To be eligible for the candy, leave me a comment here telling me you are either already a follower of my blog or become a follower of my blog and then tell me you did in the comment section - that's it! I am thinking two weeks so May 22nd I will draw somebody from the comments to win the blog candy.


So the candy - and the challenge....





The forum of If The Shoe Fits has forum only challenges. This one was to alter a paint can. The only stipulation was you needed to use at least three embellishments. Mine are: ribbon, flowers, rhinestones and the die cut!


I also happen to use today's color challenge - which was black, yellow and grey. If you look at the post below, you will see the card I made using black, yellow and grey as well! The blog candy winner will also receive the card - because I do APPRECIATE everybody who stops by my blog.

You might be asking me what is technically the CANDY. Well, it's the can (and I want you to know that my altering of the can is only attached with scotch tape. Why? If you choose to keep my altering of it, you can permanently attach it once you receive it and two - if you want to alter it yourself, you can remove mine and alter away!! Also in the can: 2 jumbo clothespins, some Unity Stamps (I had duplicates), ribbons, a round coaster album, K & Co. paper ribbons, Doodlebug brads, Kim Hughes snowman stamp, crocheted flowers, and more!! Since the can isn't quite full yet, I will be adding to it.


The second piece of blog candy - 13 happens to be my lucky number - so if you happen to be my 13,000 visitor - you too will also get a prize - I haven't quite decided what that will be yet. I might even "taylor" it to the winner. You just need to show me a screen print. However, I am aware you could be the 13,000 visitor and not even realize it - so I will give you guys a second chance - if number 13,000 never shows up - I will give the prize to 13,013! So be sure to check the visitor counter when you visit, take a picture of the screen (either with your camera or as a screen print) and BLOG CANDY is YOURS!!!



In closing - I do appreciate my visitors, so be sure to watch the visitor counter and blog candy could be yours!!
