So......as a thank you, I have put together what I hope you will think is an exciting little prize package for one lucky person.   (USA only, this time....sorry.  My last few giveaways were open internationally, but this one will be too expensive to mail.)

Next to welcome is Susan.  I am 99.99% this is Susan Hogan, but I am not 100% positive!  lol...

  1. Wow!! This is so awesome! I was checking my blogger to make a post today and your little raccoon and kitty were at the to so I opened it up and here I am. LOL My fave is the G45 papers. I have recently fallen in love with all things G45. Why can't they make something I don't like. I mean, come on. Seriously, I have been searching the entire interverse to find some of the older ones. Then if I can afford it I want 2 of each so I can use one and hoard the other.The ones you have shown I haven't even gotten one yet.Gasp ;p

  18. Oh my, Janis!! I just read through all the comments and see you have quite an international following! Congrats on your 100 followers (which have increased by 4 already) and for not only inspiring us with your crafty projects and techniques, but those kitty posters and cartoons. I remember first seeing your cards on the MFP challenges and coming over for a closer look. Then, of course, I got hooked on your chatty style, cat postings, and your fearless approach to experimenting with products (not limited to art supplies either, as evidenced by your whipped cream backgrounds). Keep it up and you'll be reeling in another 100 followers in no time! I tried to resist entering, but you hooked me with those Graphic 45 paper pads because I can't resist pretty papers, and I don't have either of these! Good luck to everyone!! AWK! I am not one to remember to follow directions so I left my email address off the first time. Let's try it again, kladd94803(at)aol(dot)com!

  21. Congratulations on your 100 followers and aren't you a sweetie for hosting a giveaway! I would say that my favorite part is the raccoon carrying the kitten but I have a feeling that's not up grabs so I will say that the foil sheets intrigue me the most. No idea how to use them but I'm sure I can search online and find out. I don't usually leave comments but I do stop in and enjoy you beautiful cards!

  24. Time to Flourish is my favorite, because botanicals can be worked into so many projects. Anything Graphic 45, makes my little heart skip a beat.
