Pretty Paper Blog

Since it is the final week I have to prepare before opening my website, this will be my final give away (for the time being). I’ve designed this 6″ x 6″ mini album using Teresa Collins paper. I adore her paper and her blog! So, here’s how you win this album: Comment on my blog daily (you may comment on any post) until Saturday, April 26th. Each new day that you comment I will enter your name in the drawing again. This gives you at least 6 chances to win. I will draw a winner at random Sunday, April 27th and announce the winner on my blog! Good luck!

This week’s Pretty Paper Blog winner is: Michelle Nadraszky!

She has won one of my handmade cards and a $25.oo American Express gift card (I couldn’t find a Visa).

Thanks to ALL OF YOU for commenting on my blog. I love reading your comments…it means a lot to me that you take the time to give me your input and I get to learn a little about all of you too!

I will post photos of next week’s BLOG CANDY tomorrow. Be sure to comment…I’m giving away one of my handmade mini-albums!!!

Someone hacked into my site today and all of my images are gone. Bummer. I’m working on getting them back up…the good news is, my leg is not broken…I’ll be fine.  Thank you all for your concern.

Crazy, crazy day today….baked a cake after church to celebrated my sons birthday with the gazillion family members in town, gave my husband a kiss and sang “happy anniversary to you” and it all ended with me maybe breaking my leg…not sure yet. But enough about me. This post is about YOU and your chance to WIN!

Any comments on my blog today will count towards next Saturday’s drawing! Keep coming back, I love your comments!

I can’t help it…I had to post more of the “little details”. I find much pleasure in the little things. These are photos from one of my books for my up-coming website.

Enter to win a Vintage Tag on April 12th

This is a “half-way complete” photo of one of my upcoming books. I just loved the faces and thought they would make good album covers. What do you think? It’s kind of funny because I don’t have many vintage photos but this seems to be the perfect book to put them in…Guess I’ll be giving my Grandmother a call {Grandma, you’ll be hearing from me soon}.
I do not make very many Vintage albums but I thought this would make a good Mother’s Day album or maybe even a Tribute album.

Don’t forget:
I’m giving away my Vintage Tag at the end of this week. Leave a comment whenever you visit my blog this week (one post per day, per person will be counted). You may comment on any blog entry you wish. The lucky winner will be posted on Saturday, April 12th.

I have 3 weeks of giveaways so be sure to check back and post a comment. The grand prize at the end of the three weeks will be one of my hand-made mini albums!

My good friend Alex informed me that if you give something away on your blog it is called “Blog Candy”…well…that’s just what I have for you.

I’m still amping up to launch my new website. I think I was a little over-ambitious to think my site would be ready by April 1st. With going back to work full-time, taking care of my parents horses while they’re out of town, my son’s birthday, my 12th wedding anniversary and my little brother’s wedding all in April…what was I thinking?

So it seems that MAY 1st will be the Grand Opening (launch) for my new handmade gift store www.PrettyPaperBook.com. Even if I only have 10 items…it will still be opening. Promise.

As for the BLOG CANDY…I will be giving away this super-cute 2-1/2″ x 4″ vintage-esque tag:

What do you have to do to win? Well, it’s simple, all you need to do is post a comment whenever you visit my blog this week (one post per day, per person will be counted). You may comment on any blog entry you wish. I will draw a winner at random and post the lucky person on my blog the evening of Saturday, April 12th.

I will post new Pretty Paper Blog candy each week, for the next three weeks until my website opens. The last giveaway will be the best…I’m going to giveaway one of my handmade mini-albums!!! Good luck!
