My Three Month Blogging Anniversary!

Published by Julia Stainton at 8:45 am under Contests & Giveaways

I can’t believe it…time is flying by so quickly! It is already my three month anniversary of starting blogging and I have been having so much fun with it. It has been a lot of work, of course, but I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and have only misseed posting one day so far. I think I’ve made up for it though, there have been many days where I’ve posted more than once! I’ve also just passed the 60,000 hits mark. Thank you so much for stopping by to visit! I love hearing from you all!

To celebrate, I’d like to share some more of my favorite goodies with you! I’ll be drawing a number with the help of an on-line random number generator on Tuesday May 15th at 12 noon EST. The winner will be posted on this blog shortly thereafter! All you need to do to enter is comment on THIS blog entry. You could let me know what you’d like to see in my blog, ask me a question or just plain say hi! I’ll try to work through the list as best I can in the upcoming months.

Belle Bonbons consist of 16 6×6″ sheets of Melissa Frances patterned paper (4 different styles), 10 coasters(because some of you couldn’t play along on my coaster challenge), one set of Karen Foster Snap Stamps (Casual Mini set) and 1 yard each of my favorite May Arts velvet ribbon in Celery and Pink. The above supplies came from Jacksonbelle Embellishments, Ellen Hutson & Starlitstudio. Because of where I live, I buy a lot of my supplies on-line. :) These ladies are all great for shipping to Canada!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend and Mother’s Day!

    Your blog is my favorite out of all of my blogs that I read. I adore almost everything you stamp or make. I was at Michael’s yesterday with my 13 yr. old daughter, and she thought I was loosing my mind. I found some of the frames that you worked with a while back and I got so excited, I bought all the ones that they had!! Congrats on your anniversary. Oh and by the way that is some seriously awesome blog candy!!

    Thank you for posting everyday! I just love your blog. My question is do you carry a journal with you? So if an idea comes to you, you can write it down right away. I don’t and the other day I had an idea and had to write it down on the outside of my checkbook cover.

  17. # Donnaon 12 May 2007 at 9:53 am

    Just stopping by to say hi. I am trying to set up my feeds all thru Google reader and some are so inactive, so weeding them out. I like when bloggers post at least once a week. I am one of the bad ones-I blog and blog and then lay off for a few weeks. Too busy to participate at times but I can always read them!

  97. # Paula Gon 13 May 2007 at 1:42 am

    Happy three month aniversary. WoW 60,000. Goes to show you how popular your blog is. Keep up the good work and we will all keep coming back.

    Julia, congrats and thanks. I visit a number of blogs daily…your is at the top of the list.

    Question…if you have time, which scrapbook stores in London do you frequent? I work near Nancy’s on Hamilton road and Dreanny Ave…I think the official name is Stamp Art.

    I am a demo, so tend to now stay away from stores….but I am always on the look out.

    Happy Mother’s Day….Blessings, Rebecca

    Julia, I love your blog and thank you for all the TIME you have invested in it! We’ve been blessed…and inspired by it daily! I love how you’ve organized your posting too. Makes it easier to find things. I’ve been struggling with trying to remember where I’ve seen something, and it helps a bunch! I’d love those snap stamps! :-)

    Three months already! I have really enjoyed looking at all of beautiful projects you do daily. Your work really inspires me and I have improved quite a bit just by trying to reproduce some of your techniques. I have enjoyed your work for a long time. Your style is the first one I came to recognize on SCS. I could always pick out your cards without seeing even seeing an artist name. Congrats on three months. Linda
