Today’s post marks my 500th post on this blog. Wow! Time flies! It just doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. I thought I should give the blog a little bit of an update, so I redesigned the blog header using My Digital Studio and gave it a Spring look. Easy-peasy!
I decided to pull out an old favorite set that I haven’t used in long time, Betsy’s Blossoms. I just used some new colors and other new products with it to give it a fresh look. I still love this set! The large flower is embossed with gold embossing powder, and I added some other fun gold embellishments as well.
Since 500 posts deserves something to mark the occasion, I decided some blog candy is in order. Just leave a comment at the bottom of this post by 4 pm (CST) on Monday, and I’ll randomly pick one winner to receive this:
The winner will get a package of Epic Day This and That Designer Washi Tape, a roll of Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon, Lucky Limeade Baker’s Twine, and a Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Please be sure to check back on Tuesday to see if you’ve won, as I’ll need the winner to email me his/her shipping address.
What I have most enjoyed about these past 500 posts is getting to make new friends through my computer. I love hearing from all of you, and I am so thankful for the comments and support!
Enjoy your Saturday! Thanks for stopping by!
