I want to give a big THANK YOU to all those who left comments and shared my post on Face Book and individual blogs.   The craft community is one of the most generous, kind and welcoming communities.  I feel blessed to be a part of it.   I hope to do more giveaways in the future but for now let's get down to business and announce the winner of my very first blog giveaway... WooHoo!!! Debpaint16 is the winner!   I will send you an email at the address you provided.  As soon as I get your shipping info I'll send out your Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit! Winning is My Fave this Monday and I'm guess it's Charlie Sheen's too!   Haha! (sorry if I mumbled in the video...I do that when I'm nervous)

It's why I think kits are a great concept!  All the opportunities of a free thinking individual project in one complete package and guess what?  I found the coolest kit last week!

I'm a sucker for a good kit.  Here it is in black,white and color:        ...

Sometimes I sit here and think, "what the H E double hockey sticks am I going to write about this week" while saying the real word, out loud, and wracking my brain for an answer.  Am I the only one who finds it difficult to not curse in their blog?  I don't believe that way of thinking is a testament to my knowledge but more the fact that creativity just doesn't work that way. The ebb and flow of a creative mind has all kinds of varieties, like say a sex drive. Then again, there I go with inappropriateness.  Some factors have to fall into place, time and space, for one thing.  Then there are days when all you can do is create and the making becomes effortless so to speak.  I think buying art supplies helps the creative process along exponentially.  You should see all the new colors of acrylic paint I just got! Here they are all in one place and one project!  I'm starting to really love color.  Before, I'd say I was more about complimentin...
