5 Years of Blogging...Day 1

Click HERE for the Paper Made Bakery/Timeless Twine hop...

I'm so very excited to announce that on Tuesday, November 6th, I will be celebrating my 5th year of blogging!!!!

I can't believe that it has already been 5 years of fun.  I would have NEVER imagined back then how it is now.  I'm addicted to blogging and everything that revolves around it...the crafting...the community...the sharing...being inspired....

Don't you love my Blogaversary badge?  Thee wonderful Karen Baker designed that for me!   For those that have been following me for awhile may remember that back in the day I loved crowns and chandies....she threw in the Mason Jars that I love now and I've always loved tags but check it out....the text on that tag is the text from my very first blog post!  That Karen is a GENIUS!!!!!!

I want to celebrate my 5 years so I'm doing a Blogaversary count down that yes,  it contains golb ydnac {read it backwards!}.  Maybe I should explain about the spelling dealio...I believe that there are people that google the correct version of that word and just sign up for the goodies {insert sad face}.  It's totally different if you're a lurker and only comment when there are goodies....but here's the other thing that I've learned through the years...enter the gold ydnac that you like!  What are you going to do with goodies that aren't your style?

So here we go for Day 1:

I Need More Days of the Week

There are times when you just need MORE.

This cute little bag o' scrappy goodness includes all the good stuff from the kit without all that paper getting in the way.

You will receive a full roll of clear tape

Studio Calico wood veneer heart and arrow(these will vary)

Studio Calico wood veneer camera(this will vary)

Studio Calico wood veneer potty people(the size will vary)

You will also get some wicked awesome camera die cuts. 

One from Grey American Crafts cardstock

One from White American Crafts cardstock

One from Echo Park woodgrain paper (yum!)

There are also some mix and match die cut clouds

Glitter and matte buttons

A super cute tiny black clothespin from Canvas Corp.

AND

5 yards of twine from The Twinery on a shipping tag.

One yard of each of their brand NEW colors(Ocean, Strawberry, Midnight Blue, Seaweed) and grey because grey is awesome.

ALL of this is packed into a glassine bag, because, let's face it, glassine bags are super cute and really awesome. 

PLUS you just got your daily recommended allowance of the word Awesome.

All the golb ydnac is from Paper Issues!!!!!
