The Big 500

...well, I didn't prepare very well for this post as I promised, but I'll try to do what I can, what with the thirty minutes I have before class. ;)

So, if the blog title didn't clue you in, I'm attempting to celebrate my 500th blog post.
I haven't really celebrated a blog posting milestone before (that I remember), mostly because I would keep passing some big mark without thinking anything about it.
I did want to celebrate this one though, because honestly, I don't know how much longer I'll be an active blogger (though I know some would disagree I'm an active blogger even now) and I think I should have a least one more little celebration before I faze out, and this seems like a good time to do it. ;)
I've got Austria next semester, and (hopefully) an internship the semesters after, so I think posting will be even more scattered than usual.

So I thought I should have a little celebration, because despite me not returning most of the thoughtful comments I get here (mostly out of forgetfulness), I really do appreciate each and every one. I know I say that a lot, but it's true. I appreciate people pinning my cards, because I like to think that I provided a little inspiration to someone. Maybe that's a bit narcissistic, but still, it does give me that nice warm feeling inside. ;)
So this my friends, is for you (...it was published in the Stamp It Techniques Vol. 2 magazine)


Of course, I stamped the inside sentiment - "okay, I can. And it would be super boring."
Totally true. ;)

Anyways, on for the celebration part - I don't want this to be some huge, over the top celebration giveaway, because since I think I'm a rather tucked away part of the papercrafting community, it only seems fit to have a rather small, tucked away giveaway.
I don't have things lined up yet, but I will be posting some favorite cards of mine in the next couple days, along with specific giveaways. For now, since I'm on a campus and haven't really figured out what start the celebration off with, let's just say, comment on this post for a chance to win a fun goody package, filled with lots of my favorite things. :)

For a goodie bag full of embellishments, comment HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping in and God bless!

  5. What a darling card, Clare - I adore Pooh! Just gave our grandkids their first Pooh book, and the 4 year old loved it - we read through the whole thing!!

    Sorry I've been mia lately, but so glad I decided to drop in today! Excited to hear that you'll be spending time in Austria!! One of my favorite places - I hope you'll share some of it with us when you can.
