Congrats on your new blog & finalizing your trip to Ireland. My paternal great grandfather was born in Ireland and it is a place I'd love to visit too.

One fact about me: I live in Ontario, Canada
Something I like about your blog (that's easy). I love your bella cards (I'm a bella fan too!) and your chipboard coaster boxes. I have a ton of coasters to play with and this project is one of many I want to try.
Awesome selection of blog candy. Thanks so much for sharing.

One fact about me: my Grandfather was from Ireland and it's a place I'd love to visit someday. What I like about your blog: your teacher's gift looks great and has me inspired to get busy and make some for my kids teachers.

Hello! I want to get to Ireland someday too. I am Irish and St. Patrick's Day in our family is celebrated more than Christmas. I really like the teacher's gift that you posted - it was fabulous! Thanks for the chance at some candy!

I got married after knowing my hubby only 6 weeks and TWO dates!!35 years later and he is still alive!

I like that you dont have all those add on ads that clutter so many blogs. Simple is better-lets me actually see the postings and art as they should be.

Hmmmm...one thing about me.....I love to make cheesecakes and look for any excuse to make one. Happy Friday, okay, let's have cheesecake! LOL!
I have loved looking at your bella cards today (I just found your blog through Allison's blog) as I really like the Bellas and am trying to decide which ones I HAVE to have.....tough to have a budget some days.
Thanks for the opportunity on this great candy and I will be back to visit your blog often.

I just found your blog and have checked out the Bella cards I have heard so much about.

I love the enthusiasm that you share with your readers - from travel to whatever else...you can feel the excitement and mood in your writing...I think that is an enviable trait to have!!

I'm also hoping to win some blog candy! LOL

Nancy,
Congrats on Ireland! My sister in law is going there in August. How cool for you.
1 fact about me: My scs name is shutterbug2124 (shutterbug because I am a photographer and the 2124 because my birthday is on the 21st and my oldest daughters birthday is on the 24th.) (shutterbug was already taken so I had to add the numbers.

2. Something I like about your blog. I like your cards. I think we have the same style. I like the clean lines and simple layouts and like to make "things" just like you.

Jennie said...

Hi! Great blog candy! Let's see...one fact about me. I lived in Japan for 3 years and used to be able to speak somewhat...enough to get around and understand people.

I just found your blog, via being tagged...(will work on that tomorrow) and I really like the teacher gift you made with the coaster box. Too cute!
You have a nice style to your cards and I love the Bellas!
Jennie

Paula said...

Thanks for the nice compliment on my blog, glad to see somebody is reading it.

My fact about me is that I will be in Italy on Sep 15-29th, aroung the same time you will be in Ireland. So close, maybe we can meet up to go stamp shopping! LOL

I like your blog because, like me, you are a new blogger, and it seems our styles are similar.

I plan to stop by a few times a week.
Ciao!

Linda SS said...

My dh and I both hope to go to Ireland & Italy in the near future...home of our ancestors. HAVE FUN, lucky you:)

Love your teacher gift you made! No you aren't a slow stamper.. I am! I was finishing up cards the morning that the girls were to take them to their teachers! now who is slow? (there is my fact about me! I'm slow stamper!)

Allison Rankin said...

Yummy candy! One fact about myself...I am a blog addict (I am seriously in need of a 12-step program). I really like your Teachabella idea...I might have to use it for my DS' preschool teacher!

Jackie said...

Ireland - how wonderful!!! I hope you have a wonderful time and bring back lots of photos! One thing about me is that I spend too much time browsing blogs (and shopping for stuff I find there!) and not enough time stamping! I like seeing your wonderful cards on your blog! I also like the colors and layout - easy to navigate.

I'm sure you are doing the Irish jig in anticipation for your trip! I did things a bit backward as I've been scrapbooking for several years. I didn't make cards until just recently. I have sure been enjoying yours - that teacher coaster box is outstanding. Jan
