I see all these people offering Blog Candy, and personally I never thought I'd do it. But here I am! What can I say. I actually do have an alterior motive. Since I am mid-purge, trying to find some sense of order in my condo, I am rethinking all the must-have or must-keep items, and I am selling or giving away most of it. It is very liberating!
So the other night I found these stickers I got free (it is even marked FREE) in a magazine, and I do not do Valentine's cards, so why I thought I needed to keep them is beyond me. Also pictured is some of my December shipment of ribbon from my Really Reasonable Ribbon Club, which I joined in an attempt to curb my ribbon weakness. This was a pack of pink, hearts and everything-Valentines, some of which I know I will never use. Put it away - nah! GIVE it away!
Looking for an excuse, I checked my blog counter. My faithful 2 (or maybe 3) readers have pumped that baby up to 4000+ ... woo-hoo! And I thank you! So I have decided to offer this candy in time for you to use for Valentine's Day.
All you need to do is post a comment telling me (us) what you hoard. Oh, wait a minute, I think we all hoard everything. Okay, tell me what your BIGGEST weakness is. I will select the winner at random (I'll pick a number out of a hat - the cat will help me). Please post your comment by Midnight EST, Jan 15th, and I'll do the drawing on the 16th.
Thanks for playing!
Now you are going to be hooked, I love to blog and give out candy. It would sure be nice to have some of the great ribbon you have showed.
ReplyDeletePaper is my biggest weakness. I keep telling myself not to buy any more until I use at least some of what I have but I forget when i get to the store.

Great blog and your projects are inspiring. Perfect time to share this sweet candy. I love to make Valentine cards. I make them for my family and a few close friends. I just looked around in my room!!!! This is a tough question. I'm going to have to say paper, cuz I can't resist the pretty papers out there and of course who can resist SALES!(tee hee)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance.

Stamps. Paper. I have so many stamps that I have yet to use, but I swear I WILL get to them. And of course paper, I have a lot, but I finally have decided it is okay to use my designer paper I can always find more that I will surely like!
ReplyDeleteI hoard all the same things you guys do-but I hoard ephemera. I have every ticket stub, every wierd piece of paper I have issued to me-utility bills etc-I save paper clips (I am great at recycling too) and its all neatly stored. You just start and cant quit.
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to floral patterned paper! I love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog,

I love to hoard ribbon because it is so pretty. I think I should have a new year resolution to use ribbon on every card and scrapbook page!!

I hoard embellishments of all sorts. I don't know if I TRULY hoard or if I OVERBUY in the fear of running out of something.... and I am a sucker for clearance and sale items....but aren't we all? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance at some awesome candy...to add to my embellishment collection...LOL
I'm much too sentimental and hoard little outfits that my kids wore when they were little, simply because they looked so adorable in them; several floral or lacy hankerchief's each of my grandmas had in their drawers when they passed away; postcards from places I've been; my children's art work and school papers...stupid stuff like these, that I have trouble getting rid of because of the memories. So they sit unused in boxes down my basement to annoy the heck out of my hubby.
ReplyDeleteRibbon is my weakness and the funny thing is most of the time I dont use them on cards !!!! Very bad !!! I buy and buy and Need to use more of it !!!!
ReplyDeletePAPER. I love paper way too much! And I hoard it.
ReplyDeleteI hoard paper. Lots of it. And yet when I see an inexpensive pack at a store somewhere I just really want to buy more. I'm getting better about controlling my hoarding, though, and actually using up some of my stash.
ReplyDeleteI hoard paper and embellishments...big time! Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy!
ReplyDeleteI think crafting is becoming my biggest weakness, I started making christmas cards and now I want everything and anything! :) What awesome valentines candy..sooo fun!

It's a tough call- I have a serious weakness for anything in the blue/green part of the spectrum, and also inks. Love me some new ink pads!
ReplyDeleteI also am a packrat- it's genetic actually. I've been working on it for years- I have so much 'memorabilia' in my apartment that scrapbooking was sort of inevitable!

I'm a paper lover!! I admit it...I need a program, and I hate to use the last sheet of a pretty pattern or fav colour!
ReplyDeleteRibbon is my biggest weakness! I have to try really hard not to buy all the dollar ribbon I see when I go to Mike's!
