Hi everyone! Happy Thursday. Since my web hosting service was acting up last night, I just have a quick post for today announcing the winner of my first blog giveaway.

And the winner is….. Emilyn!

I just recently finished going to culinary school to become a pastry chef. If I could, I would love to continue my education and learn from some of the best Pastry Chefs around the world.

Hubs made me record a video of the name drawing for the blog at 11pm last night, even though I protested. For your entertainment, here it is:

Congrats, Emilyn! Good luck in your pastry career (it sounds delicious) and enjoy the stamps!

My First Blog Candy Giveaway!

Posted by Kelly Nicole

Hiya peeps! Today’s a big day! Why? Because it’s my first ever blog candy giveaway!

In celebration of all of you, I’ve decided to do periodic (quarterly?) giveaways! You guys totally motivate me to keep crafting and creating. Thank you! So today, I’m giving away the following:

Friendship Blooms stamp set from Stampin’ Up
Blue flower accents
1 pack of 8.5″ x 11″ card stock in Stampin’ Up’s current In Colors
2 spools of polka dot ribbon

Just leave a comment and answer one question. This question is in light of me recently finishing Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers. In his book, Gladwell wrote that anyone can master a skill or craft if they can invest 10,000 hours of practice. At 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, that’s almost five years. If you had five years to invest in a skill, talent, or craft of your choice, what would it be? A musical instrument? A sport? Academics? Leave your answer in a comment below and I’ll draw a random number. You have until next Wednesday, 1/28 at 10pm Pacific time to enter! (This post will remain a sticky until I draw the winner.)
