First of all, I would like to thank each and every one of you who come and visit this blog on a daily basis for inspiration and just to hang out. I would very much like to offer you something special today for seeing me through a great, actually, amazing year of stamping. I have only been staming for a little over a year now, and am blown away by the talent I see from all of you on a daily basis. It has taught me a lot. First, another picture…and then hold on to your hats. You won’t believe what I am giving away for my double celebration today.
I made these necklaces with square white buttons called “Start Ups” from Buttons Galore. They are fantastic to alter. I altered them using some images from the PTI Anniversary Set. This set is a very special set, because you have to buy over 12 main sets for the year in order to EARN this set for free. It has 21 sentiments and 13 fantastic images to work with. A full, beautiful set. One of my favorites that PTI has come out with. What am I getting to? Well…since I have been blessed to be a part of the fantastic design team over at PTI, and I have my design team set for this right now. What you may not know is…as a customer, I have earned this set as well. I have been an avid PTI fan from the beginning, and would like to offer this special set up for blog candy today on my first anniversary of blogging AND my birthday!!
You may think I have gone crazy. Just crazy for YOU. I have not received my set in my hands yet, but when I do, I will send it to the lucky winner!! What do you have to do? Well…if you have a blog, just add me to your blogroll, please! If not…just say you don’t but leave a comment on why you come here!! It is that simple! Since I think this will be a VERY popular giveaway…I will leave this open for comments until Wednesday. I will pick a winner on Wednesday at 9pm eastern time. Thanks for celebrating with me today!
Happy Birthday and Blogaversary! I found your site a long time ago! Don’t remember, I just follow people’s links on their blog roll. I’ve been stamping for a year and don’t have a blog of my own yet. I love the inspiration I get here. Thanks for the chance to win some neat blog candy.

I come here to see your wonderful creations and also to hear what is happening in your musical life, to maybe live vicariously. (being a musician was my former life)

Thanks for the opportunity!
Happy B-Day/Blogiversary! I love to check out your site for card-making inspiration. You come up with beautiful designs! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity- I’ve been drooling over this set!
Happy birthday! I love to look at your blog–very creative and inspiring! Using the flower pot upside-down to make a lamp shade was amazing! You are so talented, and your projects have such variety. Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy Birthday and Blogaversary! The necklaces are beautiful! I don’t have a blog of my own but I love visiting yours daily. I love all the inspirations you give me!
Happy Birthday…thanks for sharing your ideas…that is a gift you give each day! Rebecca
How great to be able to celebrate more than 1 special event. Congrats on the design team. Your blog candy is awesome. I would have never thought to make a necklace out of a button. I’ll have to try it with my polymer clay.
I LOVE your blog! I am amazed that you have only been stamping for a little over a year! You are one talented lady!
I come here as often as I receive an email that your blog has been updated; I enjoy reading about your music as well as seeing what you have created.
Thanks!
I appreciate your generosity. I love to visit your blog, although I don’t have one myself, I have considered it and probably will start one in the next few months. Your artwork is very inspiring and I thank you for sharing it with us. Happy Birthday to you, hope it is a blessed one.
I don’t have a blog but I love yours! I find it very inspiring. I also love to hear about your music endeavors. I have a daughter who is a junior in high school and very much wishes to be a high school music teacher and choir director. We had an interesting conversation about “hemidemisemiquavers”!
Happy Bday & Happy Bversary….I love it that PTI has all of it’s designers and special folks listed on the left of Nichole’s blog. That is how I found you..well, one of the ways. I also have jumped to your blog from the great cards you’ve added to SCS. I’ve been stamping for 2 1/2 years now. My creativity is pretty nil…but I’m great at casing!!!! Thank you for all of the time, effort and inspiration you are to me! Keep up the great work!!!!
No blog for me, but I visit yours often! Love Papertrey Stamps too, but found it too late last year to get the anniversary set. Would love, love, love to win one though! Thanks for the great blog candy and all the inspiration you give to us.
Happy Birthday!!! Hapy Blogaversary!!!
You’ve been on my blog list of links…your blog ROCKS!
Happy Birthday and Blogoversary! You have been on my blogroll for awhile now and I visit for the wonderful inspiration that you provide! Thanks!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I can’t believe you have only been stamping a year. You have so much talent and are truly an inspiration to me. I visit your blog daily and am signed on to receive updates. Love that feature so I don’t miss anything. I discoverd your blog when I was searching for a card box and am happy I did. Love to hear stories about your family and it looks as if you live in a beautiful place. Again I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
First off what a wonderful gift to give to a reader. I check you blog each and every day you have something new on. I was away this weekend for the first time in over 3 years so that is the first miss on this since I started. Both your work and your life are so interesting and it is fun to hear of your work. Thanks for having a blog. See you tomorrow.

PS I would love to win your blog candy!
I do not have a blog. I come to your blog for the shear fun of it! I love to get ideas. I wish that I had even just a tad bit of original ideas as you. Here’s wishing both Happy Birthday and Blogoversary!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You’ve been on my blog roll from the very beginning and a great inspiration, not only as a stamper but as a successful musician, artist, mother and woman. I have the Anniversary set and love it, but just wanted to say hello and best wishes..
Judith..
Happy Birthday and congratulations on your Blog Anniversary. Ann
Happy, Happy Birthday! I love your blog, visit it regularly, and have had you on my blogroll since the time I started my blog. Your work is absolutly beautiful. It’s so thoughtful of you to share your PTI stamps with your readers. Enjoy your special day!

Happy B-day AND Blogaversary!!! Cool. I subscribe to your blog and love it. Thanks for all the inspiration. I have a brand new blog, and am just learning, so I don’t know how to have a blog-roll yet. Or alot of things for that matter! I guess I need a Blog Tutor!LOL! I’ll learn… meantime, thanks for the opportunity to win some really yummy blog candy!
Happy Birthday & Blogaversary! Unfortunately, I don’t have a blog but I would add you if I did!
I visit here every day. I think you offer some unique ideas and I enjoy seeing them. The necklaces today are so cute!
I don’t have a blog, but I come here because I love to see all the creative ideas you have… and it gives me ideas for doing my own crafts. Thank you so much for sharing them.

A very Happy Birthday and happy blogaversary to you! I haven’t jumped on the blog wagon yet. I come to see your blog because of the wonderful things you create! You are an inspiration! Plus, it’s fun to read about what you’re doing with your music and you have links to great music videos! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome this set of stamps!
I don’t have a blog but I enjoy looking at blogs
for inspiration. Congrats on your Anniversary! I
enjoy your designs and can’t believe, you have
only been stamping for one year. It must be those
artistic genes. I heard a sample of your singing
and it was lovely. I am a huge classical music fan
in a sea of people who only like pop music.
Happy Blogaversary, and Happy Birthday!
This is super exciting. I will add you to my blog roll for sure.
I love to come and check out your blog because the things you make just blow my mind, they are just so different from what I would even think to make, and that inspires me.

I don’t have a blog…yet! I come for inspiration and to see the wonderful altered projects you do! And your blog has the coolest name!
I don’t have a blog yet, but I do visit this site daily. When I come to your blog I know that I can always count on inspiration, tutorials, and fresh projects that I can try for myself.
Being a new stamper, it’s nice to have someone show you some stuff along the way. You have some GREAT ideas!
Thanks!
I love visiting your blog for stamping & jewelry combination ideas. I love to make jewelry and it is even better when I can combine it with stamping. Thank you for providing such inspiration.
