Blog Party!

Hard to believe I’m coming up on my blog birthday! Within a year…wow…almost 300 posts, over 100 subscribers, links from over 60 other blogs, more than 33,000 hits at the Stamperia...thanks, y’all – for your interest, your encouragement, and your friendship!

Prize #1 – for my subscribers only…a random drawing for a $20.00 gift certificate from Biblical Impressions! If you subscribe via Feedblitz, I have your email addresses already. For those who subscribe through Google Reader or Bloglines or some other blog organizer type thingie – if you can email me proof of your subscription, I’ll put your name in this drawing too. **ETA** - if your blog reader thingie has an "email this post" option, just email me one of my posts....

Prize #2 – 5 new unmounted verse stamps from My Heart Stamps for You, plus a handmade “Mama Dini” original card. :) For this prize – leave a comment on this post, with your answer to the following question – how many thank you stamps do you think I have? I’ll choose a random winner from those who guess correctly.

Prize #3 – maybe you’ve visited the Digi-Sig Diner – prize #3 is a free custom watermark file of your choice. Those who leave a comment on this post will be entered in the drawing!

    I am a google subscriber but don't know how to show you proof. I may be a feed biz sub too as rely on google so delete the feed biz updates when I get them.
    I bet you have lots of thank you stamps and expressions so I will guess 30.
    As for the watermark, I wouldn't know what to do with it if I won it, so if you choose me, you are welcome to give it to someone else. I am not very computer literate.
    I have been reading your blog for as long as I knew about blogs and love every post. You are full of talent. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    Congrats on the upcoming blog birthday! I'm guessing you have a few thank you stamps...because I've noticed that you usually post birthday cards and thinking of you cards...but it's been quite a while since I've seen a Thank You card on your blog....so my guess is 8.

    CONGRATS on your blog b-day! Your artwork ROCKS!

    I do not subscribe to your blog since I stop by daily. My experience w/FeedBliz is their postings are a day behind.

    I'm guessing 28 thank you stamps.

    Would love to win a watermark. Thanks for the chance.

    Hi Dina, That's an easy question. Back on July 7 you were orgainizing your Thank you stamps and you had 25 unmounted ones!! Then, you also have some that go in "other categories" like "thank you beary much". So 25 + about 7 more would be about 32. I am hoping that you haven't bought a whole lot more since then.

    Happy Blogday !!!
