~ Ann got her goodies

 Ann was the recent winner of my blogversary blog candy and she just got her box of goodies which you can read about here.

Congrats again Ann

and the winner is.....

Thanks go out to all of you for playing along with my blogoversary blog candy. It was nice to see all of the comments and opinions. Most people could not narrow down their selection so I guess that is a good thing for me. It will be interesting to see what this blogging year holds now that I am at 113 followers and counting so the pressure is on {hehe}...wow.

Now on to the important part........

The lucky winner is.......drum roll please....da da da dum

Ann from Northwestern Pennsylvania, USA is the lucky winner. Ann has followed my blog for a long time now and always leaves me nice comments....Congrats Ann!

Ann said...

congratulations on your anniversary. I would say your first year was a very successful one. Choosing what my favorite thing is that you have made is kind of difficult since I've liked all your work but I think your nativity would have to be my pick.

Thanks again for your comments and stopping by to check out what I am up to
Cheryl

you're the cats meow...

~ hello everyone....thanks so much for all of your comments on my blogoversary blog candy post. Today is the last day to leave comments for a chance to win so make sure you have left a comment and are a follower. I will pick the lucky winner sometime tomorrow so be sure to check back.

I've managed to make a few cards over the past couple of days....yippeeee. I feel like I am behind filling my spinner rack at work {or all the cards are old to me} but I still get lots of comments on them. This one could be used for valentine's day, anniversary, or just because...

 

Remember to check back tomorrow

Lin with her Nativity

Hello everyone

Lin from Lin Handmade Greeting Cards posted some pictures of her with the Nativity she won here from my blog candy contest. I love seeing where my little creations end up.....

Thanks for the awesome pictures Lin....
enjoy
Cheryl

A present....for me (Thanks Lin)

Hello everyone....I am not going to sign off for 2010 just yet (had you fooled didn't I). There is one last post I would like to share with you for this year which is a wonderful package that I received from Lin at Lin Handmade Greeting Cards. Lin was the winner of my blog candy giveaway which you can read about here and here so she sent me a nice gift in return....a wonderful Christmas card for me with a very sincere note inside and a Valentine's card for me to either give away or keep. I am definitely going to keep it.

 

...and take a look at Lin's printing. She has the most exquisite printing I have seen...I would love to print like this. (Lin...your own printing would look great on your cards)

It's great to see other quillers work in person and especially Lin's. I have always loved the look of her hand-cut (by shredder I think) paper which adds a nice detail to the edge. And her coils are super sturdy....I did not expect that from hand-cut paper. I've taken a lot of pictures so I can show you all of the details in Lin's cards and also because I wanted to test out the settings on my new camera too.

I love both cards Lin.....thanks so much and I hope you have a wonderful 2011
Cheryl

and the winner is......

Thanks everyone for participating in the 'embellish me with quilling' blog hop. I received 50 comments and my followers went from 40 to 77 (wow).

And now on to the important part. I used random generator but still haven't figured out how to show that in my blog so I will just have to tell you that the lucky winner of this cute little Angel is #21......

Melissa from disneydreamerdesigns blog was the 21st person to comment and this is what she said....

Your angel is beautiful! I love the 3D quilling! Melissa www.disneydreamerdesigns.blogspot.com

Congratulations Melissa....I will send you a note to give me your address for mailing. Thanks again to everyone who participated.
Merry Christmas

Blog Hop Time

Hello everyone

Welcome to the "Embellish me with quilling" BLOG HOP....this is my first time participating in a blog hop and you might think I will be getting a lot of exercise by all this hopping but no, YOU will be doing all of the work. If you have arrived from Jessica then you are in the right place. If you have not, you need to go see Linda at krazyquilling.com or click here for the starting point of this blog hop. 

What you are to do with this blog hop is to make your way through the quilling (and some non-quilling) blogs (starting at the first blog on the list) where you'll find new projects and perhaps a chance to win a little blog candy. The Hop will run Friday Dec 17th 11:00pm EST - Sunday Dec 19th 11:00pm EST and will feature 14 fabulous blogs for you to hop through.

For the blog hop I am going to share this cute quill angel....

 

 

 Although this blog hop is called "Embellish me with quilling" I decided not to make an embellishment because I am a sucker for 3d quilled figures. I am going to pick one lucky blog hopper to win her and all you have to do is leave a comment AND become a follower of my blog (if you aren't already)

The next blog you are to hop to is Carol at Happy Expressions so HOP on over to see Carol...but don't forget to leave your comment (and email addy so I can contact you) before you leave. 

Thanks for playing along and hopefully you win some goodies too....

Merry Christmas

Cheryl

The Nativity has arrived....

Good morning readers
It looks like the white nativity has made it safely from Surrey, BC in Canada to Kedah Darul Aman in Malaysia. I am happy to see it arrived safe and sound and Lin can't stop smiling.

You can read about it in Lin's post here

I don't have anything new to share....it's that time of year when all I make is Nativities and try to keep up with the holiday demands but I did take a few pictures of my mantle decorated for Christmas. I love the classic look of red, white and a hint of silver so that is what I did again this year.

this red glittered tree was made with styrofoam and Martha glitter

I like the look of Christmas balls sitting in a clear container

 

my nativity

 

Santa and Mrs. Claus I knit quite a few years ago

Have a great day
Cheryl

it has been mailed...

Good morning everyone
well it was an exciting day yesterday and especially so for Lin. She was the lucky recipient of the white nativity blog candy and to say she was thrilled is an understatement. Congratulations again Lin.

Here is her post about winning the blog candy so please stop by her blog to take a look..and as they say, it is better to give than receive and I sure found that out yesterday.

PS: Lin...your package is on it's way
Cheryl
