Happy August everyone, I cannot believe how quickly this year is going, blogging should come with a warning that it makes your life go quicker!!
I have a big birthday coming up later this month, BIG is the right word, as I'm going to be 50!! I know, I know, I don't look it, I can hear you all shout but that's because my profile photograph was taken 10 years ago lol! If I can find a picture I like taken this year, (maybe at my party) I will upgrade (or down grade) the profile!
As blogging has taken over my life and I've made some beautiful new friends I'd like to put up some followers candy as a thank you. And as I've been too busy to sort it all out properly I'm going to add to my candy so that when it's finally delivered to the randomly drawn lucky winner, there will be at least 50 items!
Photography is not my strong point! Hidden amongst this lot are: 4 Magnolia Stamps, 1 Stamping Bella Stamp, 2 6x6 paper pads (1 Prima Jack & Jill and 1 K & Co Hopscotch Boy), 2 Cuttlebug folders ( 1 is just embossing and 1 is cutting and embossing), 1 Tim Holtz Distress re-inker in Brushed Corduroy, 25 WOC Ivory roses, 1 pack of 10 Piggy Tales Springs, 30 asstd Pins, 1 pack of Prima Yellow flowers, a selection of ribbons, 1 pack of 6 Creative Imaginations Crown Brads, Heart shaped paper doily's, Doodlebug Simply Sweet alphabet stickers in white.
The usual rules apply
1. Become a follower if not already.
2. Post a picture of my candy in your sidebar.
2. Post a picture of my candy in your sidebar.
3. Leave your name with the Linky thingy!!
Please leave a comment incase the linky goes awol!
To be eligible for the draw I will be checking all the above!
To be eligible for the draw I will be checking all the above!
The Candy will run until the end of August and I will announce the winner soon after. That gives me about a week after my birthday to get over my hangover!
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie x

Wow Laurie amazing candy. I can't say the fifties are the best years! lol I'll be 52 very soon going on 18.
The photo on my blog is 1 year old and it was on my best day!
You look great on the photo and it would be more great to see how you've changed, lol
Anyway, my fingers will be crossed all the way ( not much chance of crafting then)!
I haven't done much the past week as my back was stuck with pain and i really look like a very old lady in need of a zimmer frame. It's getting better slowly.
I hope you have a great birthday!
Thanks for the chance to win all these yummy goodies.
Hugs xxx
WOWZERS Laurie - half a century worth of Diva-ness to celebrate and what a celebration it will be I'm sure!!!

Have a wonderful day.
Debs xx
Advance congratulations on your 50th birthday. Do not know what date your birthday exactly, but make it a nice day.
What a super nice candy you give away. Who would not join in here now. Thank you so much for the chance. I am on Aug. 10 birthday. Might be a nice leaving present. Lol.
Hugs Astrid.
Ooops forgot to leave my comment before Laurie.... good to know there's another August birthday.... though sounds like if it's later in the month, you're maybe not a Leo like me? And WOWWWWWWWWW a big one for you! Remember...... LIFE BEGINS!
Hugs

Your candy is very very fun. I really can appreciate you not wanting to give it to someone who doesn't love your blog. I admit, I LOVE entering blog candy contests, but feel bad if it's not a blog I've previously followed. But the thing is, I find the most AMAZING inspiration via the blog candy contests. I've just spent a very enjoyable chunk of time looking through your blog, and am so impressed with your talent. Plus, I love your blog's graphics! I have to figure out how to do that! So, I am now a follower and have posted a pic of your candy on my blog at: http://paperluvver.blogspot.com/. Thanks so much for both the chance to win your fab prizes, and such great inspiration!
Wow, flipping gorgeous birthday candy Laurie!! Will spread the word honey. And I agree with everyone, you certainly don't look like you should be celebrating a big birthday! Pami x
wszystkiego najlepszego:)wspaniałego candy:)
WOW what a lovely birthday candy u have put up, i also hope you have a wonderful birthday x
participating!
congratulations!

Hello Laurie, I hope turning 50 is less scary than turning 40, it will give me something to look forward too. My sister-in-law says it's easier, but she never told me her brother was a pain in the bum, well not till I'd married him..LOL.
You have a lovely blog, I must try to improve mine
Congratulations and best wishes

Hi Laurie!
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd en ik hoop een happy birthday!
Even een gedichtje gemaakt:
Wie hier een kijkje heeft genomen
wordt volger en blijft terug komen.
Met al het moois dat jij hier toont
worden jouw blogvolgers visueel beloond.
En nu deze mooie candy van jou
met allemaal spulletjes waar ik van hou.
Daarom waag ik mijn kansje hier
en kom zeker weer kijken met heel veel plezier!
Gaaf die candy! Echt super. Natuurlijk doe ik, als beginneling (die nog maar heel weinig heeft), mee!
Groetjes, Hanneke
Happy happy birthday!!! I hope you got (will get) extra spoiled on your special day. :)

Birthday wishes, Laurie! I was quite surprised that my 50th didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Next year, I'll reach the big 6-0 though and I'm afraid that one's gonna hurt!
Congratulations and thanks so much for the chance to win some awesome new crafting goodies. I spy lots of nice things in that photo. I followed a link from someone else's blog over here and had a look around. Love your work and will be back soon to have a better look. I have become a follower though.
