If you would prefer to contact me with your order and credit card information, I can place the order for you. The last day to enter the drawing is Monday, October 22nd at midnight (Pacific Standard Time). I will put all of the names into a hat and announce the winner on my blog on Tuesday, October 23rd.- the day my granddaughter turns one month old! Your name will be entered for every $25 increment ($50 = 2 chances to win, $75 = 3 chances, etc.) – this is before tax/shipping/handling. One lucky person has the chance to win this cute set! Good luck!!

I’m back!! I’ve been (and still am) in New York. My husband commutes to New York from Central California, where we live. Because he commutes so much, we have an apartment in New York where I’ve been for the past ten days and I plan to continue my stay for a bit longer. I have a growing stash of stamping supplies here so I’ve been stamping in between visitng the city! It really is a FUN city. Today we went to Times Square to look for a onesie for our granddaughter, Audrey. We also visited the M&M’s store and I bought some purple M&M’s!! Just walking the streets is entertaining!
Onto what I’ve created for today! I saw this box on Dawn Olchefske’s site and knew that I immediately wanted to make one. It really was quite easy. It’s a small box but you could tuck a small gift inside or some candy. I wanted to use a thicker paper than DSP so I used a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and stamped my images using the stamp set Day of Gratitude in Old Olive, Cajun Craze and More Mustard.
My sentiment was stamped on Very Vanilla but I think next time I might try using the Crumb Cake again. If you would like to see a video by Dawn showing you how to put this box together, you can visit
here.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Please visit tomorrow to see how you can have a chance to win some blog candy!!!

Last Tuesday, September 25th at 6:33 pm, my granddaughter, Audrey Aurora, was born to my daughter Erin and her husband, Tyler! Once we knew Erin was in labor, my husband and I took about twenty minutes to load the car and began our 7 hour journey to the hospital. We made it before Audrey was born, which made me very happy! She is a gorgeous baby and we are already in love with her. She is so precious and each morning it was a joy to see her again! We had to head home today and I am missing Erin and her little family terribly. I think that between my husband and I, we took about 400 pictures so that will help! I took quite a few videos too. If you are a new parent or grandparent, I am sure you understand the need for so many pictures!!!
Needless to say, I took a little break from stamping to be with my new grandchild. I will start creating again and posting very soon. I had promised some blog candy so be looking for that in the near future!!
Take Care,
Tracy

I was able to use some of my scraps from my stash of Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP for today’s card. I made my small squares using my 1 1/4 inch square punch and my large square with the Scallop Squares Duo die. I love the Mixed Medley stamp set (Hostess set). Do you see the little spider on the outside circle? I don’t care for spiders around my house but the one on my card is cute!
Thanks for stopping by!

We used to have the sweetest little black cat named Misty. We lost her several years ago and I miss her so much. Any time I see a black cat it reminds me of her and I knew immediately that I wanted to purchase this stamp set, Frightening Feline. I love this little cat and decided she needed a bling collar! My greeting is from the stamp set, Delightful Dozen, which is a very versatile set as it covers a wide range of holidays.
Thank you for stopping by!!
