A Peek at the Pals and Blog Candy

It’s a busy day here at The Stampin’ Schach!  We have a Pals Paper Arts Peek, the winner of the “Cupid” card, and delicious and nutritious BLOG CANDY!  Yummy!  I will be the first to tell you that this week’s challenge took me way out of my comfort zone…but it wouldn’t be a challenge if it wasn’t challenging would it?  Having said all of that, I hope that you will join me for the reveal on Thursday!

Cupid Card Winner

And the winner of the Cupid Card, as randomly selected,  is “The Stampin Lady”:

So far so good–it has lace, it has pearls and is vintage. Couldn’t ask for much more–I’ll be looking for the rest tomorrow. Dar

Dar, if you would like to receive this card, please email your address to me!  And a super thank-you to those of you who left comments!
Blog Candy
I am blessed in so many ways.  I have a wonderful husband, who never complains when the dinner table is strewn with stamps, paper and inks, and a talented son, who never ceases to amaze me in his support of my stamping.  Add two bouncing Boxers to the mix, and who could ask for anything more! As full as my life is, however,  another very important component are all of you who frequent my blog.  I look forward to your comments and emails with anticipation.  Many of you have become my dear friends, as we share tidbits of our lives with each other.  And so, I want to share some goodies with you.  What could be better than Stampin’ Up!?
  • Sweet Scoops clear, new
  • Over 100 6″ x 6″ sheets of assorted, retired Designer Series Paper
From all comments left on today’s, Thursday’s and Friday’s posts through midnight CST Friday, I will randomly select one person to receive this Blog Candy. The winner will be announced on Sunday’s post, and will have through Tuesday to contact me!  I wish you luck! 
Welcome
And finally, a very special welcome to the two newest members of The Schach Pack, Chris Robinson and Vera Lindeen.  I am so thrilled to have them aboard!  Until next time…
