Blog Candy Winner!

Congratulations to Barb for winning the blog candy, a $10 gift certificate to From the Heart Stamps!

Barb:  please send me your e-mail at jlazarski1 at yahoo.com (no spaces and the 'at' = @, just trying to avoid any extra spam!) and I will forward the gift certificate code.  Be sure to put 'blog candy winner' in the subject line so I can find your note.

If Barb does not contact me by next Sunday, the 25th at 8pm EST I will draw for a back-up winner.

The From the Heart Sketch Challenge is up and running HERE; I, however, spent too much time up and running so my sketch challenge card will be posted on Wednesday!

BLOG CANDY:  As a bonus for this month since there is no blog hop, Faith has gifted each of her DT member with a $10 From the Heart Stamps gift certificate for giveaway to one lucky commenter.  I also realized yesterday was my 6 year blogoversary so it's perfect timing! Comment on this blog post by 8 pm CST on Sunday, January 18th and you will be eligible.  I will draw the winner's  name and include it on Monday with my regularly scheduled post!

Challenges entered for this card are:
1)  Sugar Sketch #18 (SPDSS18)
2)  Pile it On #51:  Something edible.  While some kiddos and our Lab may consider the snowman edible, I was thinking more along the lines of the carrot nose.
