It’s that time of year again- my “blogaversary.” I started my blog 5 years ago on January 6th, 2008. My, how time flies! (And 5 years in the Blogasphere is like, 35 “real” years, right?) So I thought I’d start the celebration off right with a giveaway!
I’ve put together FIVE goodie boxes from my recent clean-up/destash. (I made a resolution to spend 10 minutes after each crafting section just cleaning up and its already working. Read my full New Years Resolution post here.)
Each box has….
- assorted rubber stamps
- assorted stencils (vinyl and/or brass)
- embroidery floss
- paper punches/embossers
- a mixed bag of cool paper scraps, embellishments, etc
- and whatever else I could jam in.
I kind of put them together according to a theme- nature (leaves, mostly) butterflies, the seaside, mixed media elegance, and flowers. You can see snippets of what’s in the boxes in the photo collage above.
Want one?
Leave me a comment below letting me know what you might make with the supplies in the box. (Who knows, we might have a secondary contest with the winners of the boxes. It would be a cool craft-off, right??)
I’ll pick a winner in on 2/6/13 at random. I’ll ship to US residents. If you are international and would like a box, that’s cool, too- you just will have to pay the shipping.
Ok, crafty friends- comment away! And thank you so much for 5 awesome years!
PS- have you subscribed to the daily email yet? I’d love it if you did!

I have some great projects to work on this year. A whole lot of my stash will be going to make a haunted village for an event in October. If you’ve ever heard of letterboxing, you’ll know what I mean when I say I’ll be hiding even more art inside each little building!
I also have a goal of stretching myself by keeping an art journal. Tried this last year, but it didn’t take. But it’s still fun, so why not try again!
January 2, 2013 at 3:40 am
I would take them to school to help the kids make Mother and Father’s day cards.
January 2, 2013 at 6:10 am
How fun! Congrats on 5 years and I’m looking forward to the next 5 years! I would share with others if I should win.
January 2, 2013 at 7:12 am
Greeting cards! They’re always fun to make!
January 2, 2013 at 7:17 am
I’m working with a young gal and we would have some great project starts!
January 2, 2013 at 7:42 am
how cool…….I would make valentines debbie jackson

January 2, 2013 at 8:53 am
I would make cards. I have made a promise to myself that I will not buy any cards this year – I will make every card that I send. Thanks for the chance to win!
January 2, 2013 at 9:12 am
I’m starting a craft group with the youth at my church. The kids (mostly teens) are pretty excited to make cards and such. This will give a good boost!
Thanks for the chance!

January 2, 2013 at 9:12 am
Oh I know I could make cards, 3D items and my newest adventure…art journey…thank you for the chance…
January 2, 2013 at 9:12 am
Since I’m a beginner in art journaling, mixed media anything excites me. I received a Gelli Arts Plate for Christmas and I’m playing with it every day. Thanks for the chance to win a goodie box and Happy New Year.
January 2, 2013 at 9:12 am
Congratulations! I have enjoyed reading your blog for several of those years. I would use the gift bag to make cards with my grandsons!
January 2, 2013 at 9:18 am
I am planning a party this year for my husbands birthday. It is a wine and food gathering, it will be mostly outdoors. Thank you for all the great work this past year. It means a great deal to people like me on a budget to know what is going to give me a great bang for my buck with craft products.
January 2, 2013 at 9:20 am
I would use whatever is in my box to scrapbook I think it’s fun to work with many items to create pages. Congrats on 5 years and thanks for an awesome give away and I think it’s cool how you came up with this idea for a give away.
January 2, 2013 at 9:25 am
I could have a lot of fun making ATCs, Tags, and Cards with the mixed media elegance box.
Congratulations on 5 years of blogging!
January 2, 2013 at 9:32 am
Happy Blogaversary! I see lots of goodies in those pictures! I would be busy creating some cards and scrap book pages (always behind!), some mixed media projects and I would get a start on next year’s Christmas presents!
January 2, 2013 at 9:36 am
Congrats on beginning your 6th year! I have a few ideas I want to try including small decorated envelopes for a gift tree for a baby shower where the mom lives out of state and we want to keep gifts to either online ordering or gift cards.I also want to practice frosted window and iris cards. Got lots of plans!
January 2, 2013 at 9:36 am
Maybe some homemade journals. I’ve really been wanting to make a greeting card keeper. With monthly dividers, so I will never forget a special occasion! If I was really motivated,I would make all the cards for the year ahead too!
January 2, 2013 at 9:36 am
For me it would be a fun challenge to take those items and make something with them. Thanks for the opp and congrats on your five years!!
January 2, 2013 at 9:56 am
I would make some really cool greeting cards. Thanks for the chance.
January 2, 2013 at 9:58 am
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I work at a recreation center teaching fitness, crafts and games to children as well as adults, mostly senior adults. I would use the craft supplies to do scrapbooking, card making and mixed media art. Crafting really adds a new demention to my groups’ quality of life.
January 2, 2013 at 10:01 am
Hsppy Blogaversary! The craft goodies pictured look delightful indeed! I’d begin making cards and pillows and banners for gifting…
January 2, 2013 at 10:07 am
I’m thinking mixed media wall hangings!
January 2, 2013 at 10:07 am
Congrats on your 5 years. I think I would most definitely make encouragement cards and also share with my daughter who is a preschool teacher, thanks for your help and inspirations from different products and also the chance to win.
January 2, 2013 at 10:14 am
I have just found this site and have found many very useful tips thank you so very much.
Hugs
Becky
January 2, 2013 at 10:15 am
Happy 5 years of blogging. Time sure does go by. I would love the chance to win. I can make lots of cards. I also can share with my your nieces who are very crafty. Thanks again for the chance to win.
January 2, 2013 at 10:19 am
Congrats on 5 years! I’d use the supplies for scrapbooking and cards, plus any kid’s crafts my son and I can dream up. I promise you any supplies we receive would be put to good use!
January 2, 2013 at 10:28 am
CONGRATS on your 5 (er…35) years in the Blogosphere!!
That is pretty impressive! As far as cleaning house…I haven’t had enough time to play with what I have accumulated, so that’s down the road for me, but I can’t get enough of LEAVES — that would be a GREAT box to win! I have all kinds of fall & pumpkin farm photos of my kids that would look great in leaf frames, with leaf borders, etc, plus leaves can be used with flowers for nice elegant pages as well! 
Happy Blogging!! 
January 2, 2013 at 10:36 am
I would love to use all of these to create items for my upcoming wedding, or to scrap about the wedding — and everything that comes after — once it’s over.
January 2, 2013 at 10:38 am
I have a monthly “craft day” with two children in my neighborhood. The time gives their mom a break for a couple of hours and they LOVE it! This giveaway would be perfect for new ideas!
thank you, Jen!
January 2, 2013 at 10:48 am
Congrats on the 5 year anniversary! I would use the materials in the giveaway box to make cards and decorate small gifts for my children’s teachers on a monthly basis as just-because gifts and as we-appreciate-what-you-do-everyday gifts.
January 2, 2013 at 10:48 am
I’d love to win any of them and just the suprise of seeing what all could be made is exciting! I love trying out all different types of crafts.
January 2, 2013 at 10:48 am
Alif Mabrouk (1,000 Congratulations in Arabic!) on 5 years, that really is a fantastic accomplishment. I found out about your giveaway on your twitter. I’d love the butterfly box and would use everything in it to make cards and post the end results on my blog so you can see what I’ve done with your destash!
January 2, 2013 at 10:53 am
Yay for 5 years! I’d make mini books and bookmarks to start, then whatever else seemed like a good idea.
January 2, 2013 at 10:55 am
Happy 5 years and many many more!! I think I would start off by making some note cards & thank you cards.
Jess
January 2, 2013 at 11:00 am
First of all congratulations on your 5th year anniversary. the craft-off contest sounds exciting. If I were to be lucky enough to get a box of goodies, I would probably make some paper jewelry, and some wood frames mod podge with papers and lots of other embellishments for the holidays that will soon be here.
January 2, 2013 at 11:01 am
It would be great to win a box of assorted craft supplies. I’d share them with my daughters. My oldest makes mini scrapbooks for her students at the end of the school year and my youngest always has some new and wild idea we have to try.
January 2, 2013 at 11:03 am
I’d actually like to make more art this year! LOVING the idea of mixed media. Planning to do a series of angel mixed-media paintings with lots of doo-dads and dangles. Maybe some paintings of my favorite Saints too. Making a painting now of “Our Lady of Guadelupe” for my Mexican brother-in-law. Planning to have my Etsy Shop filled with art by 2013 Christmas shopping time. You’ll find an example of what I mean in this blog post I made this past year: http://wfedan.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/im-in-this-book-help-me-celebrate/
January 2, 2013 at 11:05 am
If I were to win one of these boxes, I would take it to the “school” where I work part-time. Teachers right now have to buy any and all supplies to use for projects. The children are infant to school age range. I have brought in many items already that I have de-stashed or bought at garage sales and thrift stores, but with so many children there is never enough to go around. Most teachers are single moms, and the pay is not great, to say the least, so it really impacts their bottom line when they have to purchase items.
January 2, 2013 at 11:05 am
I’d probably make collages, jewelery and/or cards!
January 2, 2013 at 11:13 am
I would love to win a box. I am really behind on my scrapbooking and if I were to win maybe I could get motivated to do some scrapbooking. CONGRATULATIONS on 5 years. I love all the reviews you do.
January 2, 2013 at 11:17 am
Definitely make cards for OWH!
January 2, 2013 at 11:20 am
If I win a goodie box I would use the contents to add to my card-making materials and share with my daughter who makes goodies for the elememtary
school classes. Thanks for the offer.
January 2, 2013 at 11:25 am
This is going to be a big year for me. I have alot of crafty plans in the works. the possibilities are endless with these boxes. I would use what was in the box either in a journal spread or a mixed media project and to work towards one of my many goals.
January 2, 2013 at 11:27 am
Congrats on the years of serving us! Your ideas are always appreciated and great!
If I won a box, I would use it with my grandchildren and crafty friends. We made 25 Christmas cards for our service men and women. We also made cards for the forgotten people who work in our school system: cafeteria workers, assistants, tutors and peer tutors. We made smiles and memories! We would use the box of supplies to further our projects of appreciation cards.
Thank you for the opportunity to win!
January 2, 2013 at 11:39 am
Happy Blogiversary!!! What a fun giveaway! I would love to have a day with some friends being crafty and this would have the best supplies for that.
January 2, 2013 at 11:53 am
One of my New Years resolutions is to make a card a day. (So far so good.) I really am looking forward to this challenge. I also would like to mesh in the idea of as many different styles, techniques and products as I can. This seems like a resolution that will bring me a lot of joy of creativity. Thank you for your five years of craft fun.
January 2, 2013 at 12:04 pm
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for a chance to win.
January 2, 2013 at 12:10 pm
I would definitely use the supplies in my art journals and collage work!
January 2, 2013 at 12:22 pm
Great idea!!!! I would use those things with polymer clay (I teach classes for Seniors) and for making cards (idea for a new class with Seniors!). I could really use the extra supplies for the classes.
January 2, 2013 at 12:46 pm
What a great resoloution!!
I usually make cards for our troops overseas,
right now making them for Sandy hook
Thanks so much for the fab giveaway!!
Hugs
January 2, 2013 at 1:10 pm
“Happy New Year!” Also, many congratulations on your 5th (35th)
Blogaversary…All of your kits sound like a lot of fun! I enjoy
making cards, ornaments, collages and many altered items, like journals.
Many thanks, Cindi
January 2, 2013 at 1:11 pm
First of all congrats fir those 5 years like you said it’s like 35 hahaha. Thanks for the chance to win some goddies.
January 2, 2013 at 1:15 pm
Happy 5 years!! That’s awesome! And thanks for the chance to win and share in your awesomeness.
If I won, I would probably make greeting cards. Love them.
January 2, 2013 at 1:21 pm
It would be fun to see what materials you work with. I’m always looking for new ideas.
Happy Anniversary!
January 2, 2013 at 1:24 pm
Five years! Seems like yesterday. WooHoo! I would most likely make cards, but if the spirit moves me I may work on Scrapbooking my pile of pictures. Or … Who knows?!!!
January 2, 2013 at 1:45 pm
Like that idea of taking 10 minutes to clean up after a project. Will have to put more effort into doing that. Congratulations on 5 years!! Your projects have been very helpful on deciding if an item would be useful to me.
If I win one of your boxes I would put it to good use on my cards as I have birthdays coming real quick and really need to work on some of my scrapbooks as I am way behind on them.
January 2, 2013 at 1:47 pm
Happy Blogaversary!! Congratulations on 5 years of sharing and inspiring others! I have several naked canvases that would love some attention with a fun box of mixed media goodies! And of course I would share some of my new found stash with my sister! Happy Day to you! Mary – http://irongatestamps.blogspot.com/
January 2, 2013 at 1:53 pm
Cngratulations on your blog’s 5th Anniversary and best wishes for many more years to come. If I win one of the kits, I’d like to make some cards to distribute to a local nursing home–so residents can give or send cards to their friends or families. I’ll include “forever” postage so there’s no cost to the residents to mail their cards.
January 2, 2013 at 1:59 pm
Congrats on 5 years. That is great. This give Away packag sounds like just what I need to make some beautiful cards. My sisters-in-law got me started and I am always ooking for new suppies to make more. I feel like a homemade card lets pople know you care.
January 2, 2013 at 2:12 pm
Oh my, what fun! 1 of my goals this year is to make 10 card sets (6 each) by the end of June to sell at my reflexology business. So cards would come first. I also do themed collages, so I would also use these supplies for collages.
Thank you – surprize boxes are so much fun!
January 2, 2013 at 2:28 pm
Congrats on 5 years! I am a new blogger, not quite a year so I am in awe! If I won one of your boxes, I would use the goodies in my card making. One thing I like to do is have the nieces and nephews over to do projects as well, so some of the supplies would be used with them as well. Continue what you are doing, it is great!
January 2, 2013 at 2:37 pm
Congratulations on 5 years!! Love your blog! If I was lucky to win one of the goody boxes, I’d use it for card making or even maybe alter something…
January 2, 2013 at 2:51 pm
Happy Blogaversary! I like to spend the limited time I have and just play with whatever is around. Would probably use the supplies to make collages/journal pages and some cards. I am brand new to journaling, so having a new influx of supplies would be exciting.
January 2, 2013 at 3:03 pm
I’d use the supplies to make greeting cards. One of my resolutions this year is to make handmade birthday cards. Thanks!
January 2, 2013 at 4:07 pm
I have been to oceans on three continents in the last five years but have yet to do anything with the stuff I have collected, so the seaside themed box would be a big help! I want to do travel journals, shadowboxes and even jewelry
January 2, 2013 at 4:28 pm
Congrats on 5 years! Amazing how quickly it can go. I’m a crafter at heart, but I love working with Polymer Clay, and rubber stamps are great for clay projects. I enjoy making ATC’s and other multi-media pieces and collages. Oh,and cards..I love to make cards for all occasions,(you never know when you’ll need a card.) Thanks for de-stashing! I’ll have to do the same and pay it forward!
January 2, 2013 at 4:51 pm
I would give it to the lady above who has a crafting session with a youth group at her church! What an amazing thing to do!
January 2, 2013 at 5:24 pm
What a great giveaway! My daughter and I have been on a card-making kick so we’d probably make cards.
January 2, 2013 at 5:25 pm
I would begin my mounds and mounds of scrap booking family albums and of course my greeting cards for family and friends. I’m always looking for new and exciting things to do for family.
January 2, 2013 at 6:15 pm
Congratulations on 5 years of blogging!! One of my resolutions was to get back into making my own cards again. It was a great stress reliever and it means so much more to people when I give them a handmade card.
January 2, 2013 at 6:38 pm
Hapy New Year! Congrats on 5 years blogging. I enjoy receiving your emails, and look forward to hearing what’s new. If I was lucky to win a box I would do some paper jewelry and other crafts. I am sure looking through the box would just kick start my imagination.
Thank you!
January 2, 2013 at 6:40 pm
Wow 5 Years and I discovered it only a few weeks ago! Congrats!
January 2, 2013 at 6:53 pm
I would love to win this for myself there are so many things to make for my military friends who are away from home. I would also like to win for my mother as she loves making cards for family and friends. There are so many possibilities.
January 2, 2013 at 7:33 pm
A Give-Away! Yeah! And Happy Anniversary. What could these supplies be used for. Projects for the children at our VBS this summer. I keep my 2 grandsons who are very creative. We make crafts everyday, even if it is just free-handed Super Hero masks. I’m also tryng glass etching this year. The stencils, shapes (leaves, etc.), vinyls would be wonderful for that. I’m sure whoever the 5 winners are, the products will be put to great use and jump-start the creative processes. Thank you for offering them to all of us.
January 2, 2013 at 8:12 pm
Would love to make some mixed media canvases. Thanks for the chance to win.
January 2, 2013 at 8:35 pm
I’m new to crafting and would be delighted to use these supplies to make cards for family and friends. Thanks for offering these and here’s to 5 more years!
January 2, 2013 at 8:45 pm
I’d make cards, scrapbook pages, home decor… depends on what inspiration I would get from whats in the box. : ) Would be super fun to find out and I’d be up for the “craft-off.” Thanks for the chance to win and happy blogaversary!
January 2, 2013 at 8:55 pm
I love to make cards. My daughter works for a non-profit and she uses my cards for her clients. I’d make cards for her to use if I won the one of the craft boxes. Thanks.
January 2, 2013 at 11:14 pm
Happy blogiversary! I’m currently exploring mixed media art journaling…a box of these goodies would certainly rev up my exploration!
January 2, 2013 at 11:17 pm
Gosh Jenny, I would make something crafty, of course!! I’m working on mixed media canvases and starting a journal and filling it up with the results of my online classes!!
Thanks for the chance!
Carmen Lucero
January 2, 2013 at 11:32 pm
Congratulations on 5 years! I love your daily e-mails. Love to read your reviews of products new and old. Please keep up the great work for all us crafters.
January 3, 2013 at 1:10 am
Looks and sounds like some great crafting materials. I am not sure where I would start. I think I would like to make up some books of Family History for my grandchildren. I would use photo’s, and family tree information and make it a bit more fun with some of these items.
Congratulations on your anniversary of 5 years, that is a huge milestone in the blogging and social networking world. Well done, I love to see the new gadgets that you test for us and explain so clearly what we could use them for. This makes like easier for us readers that are overseas and don’t have some of these products in our reach. Thanks again. Best wishes for more anniversaries. Cheers, Julie.
January 3, 2013 at 1:57 am
Happy Blogaversary, Jenny! Thanks for sharing all the fun.
I would love to make some cards for sure….hmmm, I think I would like to make a mini-album, too!!
Thanks, too, for always thinking of us!!
January 3, 2013 at 8:08 am
Yay 5 years. Congrats! I make cards, mini albums, and mixed media projects. I’m sure there would be something I could use in the box of goodies. Thanks for the chance.
January 3, 2013 at 11:54 am
Happy 5 years in Blogville!!! I’m both a card maker and scrapper so I find a use for things. I also resolved to your 10 minute cleaning motto and am happy to say it’s working for me too! That being said, I have room for new-to-me supplies! Thanks for sharing!!! I can’t wait to see what comes up this year!
January 3, 2013 at 2:48 pm
Congrats on your milestone! Wishing you great year ahead!
January 3, 2013 at 4:10 pm
I’m taking part in an ongoing project to supply cards to and for our troops. The things in the box would be a wonderful compliment to my supplies for those cards.
January 3, 2013 at 9:33 pm
I am a card maker like so many here… I also have a little itty bitty art club going with my family and I love to make little arty things and mail them out to them..thanks for the fun and happy blogaversary!
January 3, 2013 at 10:54 pm
I’d love the supplies…I’m in the process of creating a memoir of the last year(year and a half really…) of my life in multiple media…I lost nearly 150 pounds, was temporarily blinded, spent many months in the hospital and rehab and nearly a year in a wheelchair. Still don’t have full retrieval of my memories. I lost the job I loved and a few family members and friends…it’s been difficult to adapt to my new life with Woernicke’s Encephalopathy…(basically from the knee and elbow out, my body is pins & needles…no normal nerves & feeling…) but I’ve never felt more blessed or loved by my family, my friends & my church. I have a wonderful support system that includes my son & husband, whose love continues to blow me away. Thank you for being so generous and kind. Whomever wins the items will be truly blessed. I believe strongly in freecycling, as we have become too much of a disposable society…
January 4, 2013 at 12:00 am
i have this pile of projects waiting to be completed plus i have countless ideas in my head! and the web is a great place to look for inspiration and tamptation- ctd included!
January 4, 2013 at 3:48 am
Well it depends on what’s in the box!
I’ve been wanting to get some tags made to have on hand to use as greeting cards/thank you cards/etc…so I could use it for that Then I could use some of the stuff in beeswax collage. And still other [ [kok[
January 4, 2013 at 3:36 pm
Would love to go through the box and make whatever ideas s=come to mind. But would start planing some seriously gorgeous necklace pendents, and back up cards.
January 4, 2013 at 6:52 pm
My granddaughter will be graduating in the spring so I will be making lots of graduation cook-out invitations, favors and what ever decorations we can think of! I am also making her a quilt to celebrate, but shhhhh….she doesn’t know!!
January 5, 2013 at 3:33 am
your Monster bookmarks are so adorable, so maybe more of those and some other things.
January 5, 2013 at 5:22 pm
Congratulations on 5 years and thank you for doing what you do!! I have been doing canvases lately but really need to get back to my journal. I would use the prize pack to jump-start my art journaling.
January 6, 2013 at 1:23 pm
If I won I would take time to make cards for all the quilting projects that I give away.
January 6, 2013 at 1:26 pm
Congratulations on your 5th Year! Thank you very much for all what you do. I actually just saw you on Scrapbook Soup the other night when I was watching a recorded version of it on our DVR. You are awesome. Thanks for the great give-away. If I win it I will make few projects with it from cards to mixed media wood frames or wall arts. THANK YOU AGAIN, a toast for next years ahead!
January 6, 2013 at 2:28 pm
Congratulations on 5 years! I love what you do and rely on your reviews of products to guide my purchases quite often. I have been doing some altered books lately and might use some of the items for that. Usually I just make cards, so that would be more probable.
January 6, 2013 at 4:50 pm
How awesome is 5 years!! Congratulations!! I watch all you videos and I have learned so much – thank you!!
January 6, 2013 at 10:02 pm
Not sure off the bat a specific item I would make, but it would most likely be a layout. We have our second boy due very soon and while I haven’t done much scrapping lately (mostly been doing cards), once we get settled into a routine with our 2 year old and the new addition, I’ll be trying to keep up with all the milestones again!
January 6, 2013 at 10:20 pm
I would do some amazing collages with the new scrap paper, rubber stamps and whatever else I could include. I would be thrilled to pieces to compete in a mystery box craft off. Such a cool idea!
January 6, 2013 at 11:21 pm
I so do not need more stuff, but who can resist? I’m getting into art journaling and more card making/scrapbooking type stuff this year, so I’d probably use it in that vein. Thanks for sharing all your insights with us over the years!
January 7, 2013 at 12:05 am
Hi Jenny, I too am cleaning up after each crafting session – just need to make sure I put every thing back where it belongs. I’m so happy for you – time does fly – five years!! woo hoo!
Thanks for the chance aat some craftiness!
Hugs,

January 7, 2013 at 11:24 pm
Congrats on your 5 years! I just found you on You tube a couple weeks ago, and keep going back to watch your videos. I would use on of your grab bags for not only card making and scrapbooking, but also for making some gifts for my neighbors and friends and teaching my granddaughters more about crafting.
Thanks so most for the chance to win.
January 8, 2013 at 1:09 pm
I’ve just discovered the large and happy world of scrapbooking, crafting and card making; I’m so in Love, but my credit card is burnt out. It’s obsessed.
January 13, 2013 at 1:33 am
There are so many supplies it is hard to name one particular project. However, I will be earnestly working on scrapbooks for my grandsons, so these would add a great amount of detail. Thanks.
January 13, 2013 at 5:17 pm
I would love to make cards – this is so generous of you. Congrats on 5 years and thanks for the giveaay.
January 14, 2013 at 11:33 pm
I would use them to add some craftyness to the decorations I have for my baby shower!
priscillavbenavides at yahoo dotcom
January 19, 2013 at 11:21 am

January 21, 2013 at 11:29 am
Hi, I love your site. I am at home disabled right now with a spinal cord tumor. I am keeping my spirits up by crafting away . I am an unusual crafter as I do it all. I crochet, scrapbook, do a lot of stamping, sew clothes, quilt, embroider,cross stitch,decoupage,florals, general crafts etc. etc. I am just designing a new craft room and it is hard to do with so many crafts. I have designated half of the room sewing, it has my sewing machine, and serger, than in on the wall nest to it I have a large cutting table and mat.Its in a L shape. The other side, I have a beautiful craft table, which I use for my other crafts, like scrapbooking,card making and decoupage,stamping etc. To crochet or embroider I just comfy up in the bed or chair. Some days I am too exhausted to craft, but when I can I would love these supplies. One of my big projects is getting all of our family photos into albums for my three daughters.I also yearly write them a letter and put it in the safe, just in case. I tell them how much they mean to me, I give advice for the next stage of their life. I think all mothers should do this and I wish I started this before I got sick. it shouldn’t take a major illness to remind us of these things. So anyway I would love to win. I hope whoever does win, have a wonderful time crafting. Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to tell your family and friends not just how much you love them, but that you appreciate them and all they do for you.
January 21, 2013 at 1:37 pm

I see all kinds of things that would go with polymer clay — almost everything does, after all! I’d love to get my year off to a great start with new inspiration!
January 21, 2013 at 2:22 pm
My mind went straight to greeting cards first, but I’ve never tried decoupage, and I think this could be the year! I ‘d bet there’s something in these boxes that would inspire me to try it.
January 21, 2013 at 4:41 pm
I’m sure to make some cards, ATC’s and something home decor-ish!
January 21, 2013 at 7:34 pm

Congrats on 5 years!!! I’m new to all this blogging stuff but hope to jump in with both feet. In trying to decide which box, I had thoughts of the beach, which I love dearly. The other choice are the butterflies. To me they represent summmer and being in the midwest in the freezing cold and snow…I have visions of butterflies I would like to share in my card and craft making. Again, congrats and may there be many more.

These would be great with little kids! My niece would love these—probably the seaside or flowers best, but we would have SO much fun!

I specialize in making cards so that’s what I’d do with the box of goodies.

I see lots of products that would be great for making cards. But I would also have fun crafting with my little one too!

I would use these supplies to make some cards. Kinda on a butterfly kick at the moment, so that collection would be cool

I am helping to plan 1st birthday for my husbands niece (long story
)
We are doing an ocean theme.. So there are SO many things I could do with the seaside box… I am planning on making cards shaped like clownfish, decorations of sandollars and anemones… Still in planning stages but this would definitely spur my creativity to help my mother/father in law with this party!!
