OK, show of hands.... who remembers that I give away a prize for every 1,000 comments here on my blog? Anyone??? Bueller? Bueller? Well, there are at least 4 people out there that I know of who won for being #1000, #2000, #3000 and #4000. I love doing this because it's totally unexpected, and rewards those of you who regularly visit me, and leave me the nicest comments consistently. Now actual Blog Candy contests are OK, but sometimes it seems like people just come out of the woodwork because they hear those words. With my Comment Candy, some of my most favorite people end up being rewarded!
So, why do I mention this? Because comment #5000 was left this morning! And it truly is one of my most favorite people, and faithful visitors! Barb Rose... come on down! Here's her comment, left at 8:55 a.m. this morning...
The tulips are indeed very pretty :)! And so are these lovely cards!
Barb
Wow, it just blows my mind! I started this blog on March 8, 2008 in the middle of a blizzard! I can't believe that 5000 times you all have been nice enough to leave me the comments that you do! It ALWAYS makes me smile! Every comment! Thank you to everyone, and congrats to Barb! I will need you to email me with your mailing address. I don't know yet what you're going to get Barb, but it'll be something! I've got lots of new things on the way to the store in the coming week for Valentine's Day!
A quick card to share with you. I placed my very first order with Stamping Bella last week, and my stamps came yesterday. I could no longer resist those cute Chichiboulie Fairies! So here's a quick card I made last night for a birthday girl I know! This is also for the Our Creative Corner challenge from this past weekend to make a card using two shades of blue along with a neutral. Yeah, my designer paper has a little bit of color other than blue, but I hope it passes under the Challenge Police radar!
It's hard to tell from my photo but I used a Sakura Stardust pen on the twinkles, and on her wings plus some gemstones on the twinkles, too!
Thanks for stopping by, and congrats again to Barb! Have a great day!

Oh Tammy, the fairy card is so cute and I love the blue colors you have chosen. I am always telling the ladies in Akron - Canton area about your neat little shop at Toyrifix. We have a stamp club and I will be teaching them how to paper piece the MFT bunny slippers card you taught me, later this month. Working on getting you to 6000 with all the praises your card get up here!!

Tammy this card is super adorable! I love that fairy and the gems she is sprinkling! Too cute! The dp is so sweet and perfect for this image!
I love the way you do your blog candy...excellent idea! I know what you mean about coming out of the woodwork...when I did one several months ago, someone from Korea left me a comment, for the first time...how much would that have cost me to mail?!
Your way is really giving back to those who regularly encourage and praise and admire you-so who better to give a gift to? Love it!
