some really SWEET candy!

Our internet was out all day yesterday, and this week has been busy - training in a new helper, spending time with a friend, organizing homeschool books, and welcoming new students... anyway, if you missed me, that's where I was!

The winner of last week's Impression Obsession stamps is...... SANDY @ Just a Little Stamping! (OK, that is weird...my other 2 winners' names were Sandra and...Sandra.) Sandy, be sure to send me your address so I can get these stamps out to you.

Here's this week's prize, and I saved the best for last, I think! I love this candy jar stamp, and it's paired with some sweet sayings, and an ice cream cone! So leave a comment on this post if you want to win these:
I love that this image is sooooo easy to match to any color combination or DP. The card below was colored using LePlume II Markers and a waterbrush.

Check out the close-up on that rock candy - after I painted it I covered it with Diamond Dust...it sparkles like crazy, because it's actually crushed glass. Such cool stuff! Love it.

Thanks for checking on me!
