#150 - Blog Candy!!

I know, I've been teasing about it for ages, but it's finally here. This is my first time offering blog candy, but watching loads of other bloggers do it, I've figured out a few things that I like about it, and a few things I dislike.

I like: fun free stuff. Duh! I like seeing regular commenters win.

I dislike: having to follow 4 million rules: "You must be a follower. You must leave a comment 149 characters long, in iambic pentameter. You must post about the blog candy on your blog, and then post on my blog to tell me you posted on your blog. And don't forget to tell your Facebook friends, none of whom craft or actually care....."

Don't get me wrong. I'm beyond excited that people choose to follow my blog. I feel pretty humbled by it that you like what you see enough to come back regularly. I just don't think the lure of blog candy should be what makes you decide to follow - it should be my sparkling wit & awesomeness, right? {snort}

So here's the thing. I would like to enter all comments for the month of June (1-30) into the draw. HOWEVER, each person must enter ON THIS POST to have their other comments included. That's it. Comment away. Make sure that you have either signed in, or leave some way to contact you (email, blog address).

You do not have to become a follower. However, since I do appreciate those of you who have chosen to follow me, followers get double entries. (Each comment earns 2 'names in the hat.')

So, here is what I consider the "base" blog candy. Depending on the number of entries, I have a little stash of favourite things that I'd like to add. However, I have a question for you to answer when you enter: should it all go into one big pot, or should I create a second prize package? (If we get up to 30 entries, I will edit this post to reflect the added prizes and whether or not it will be 1 or 2 winners.)





The whole prize




Package of 60 cardstock & acetate die-cuts from K&Co (Susan Winget)



6x6 package of Bo Bunny "Blast Off" papers

Brand new Distress Ink (Antique Linen) and three Sakura pens:
Stardust (clear glitter), clear glaze, black glaze

one package each of adhesive pearls and rhinestones

crocheted-by-me scalloped mats - two of each colour
I'll also toss in 5 metres each of the threads I used (white and bamboo) and
matching plain cardstock circles for matting (not pictured)

This blog candy is open to anyone, anywhere. I will draw the winner's name on Canada Day, July 1st, with the incredibly scientific and random method of, seriously, names in a hat. Well, maybe a bowl. And the kids will pull the winner (s).

Thanks so much for sticking around to read the whole thing - and thanks for coming to visit. I enjoy reading each and every comment, and visiting so many of your blogs. Good luck!

xoxo,
Jessi
