I have instructions for this bracelet up on the Helmar Adhesives DT blog this morning!  🙂  Come check out the picture of the whole bracelet and find out how to make your own

And don’t forget the Helmar USA giveaway ends Saturday, January 31,  as well, so make sure you’ve entered here!

Just spread the word about Helmar USA’s fabulous adhesives (seriously, they really are!) and you could get this in the mail to keep you busy!

Here’s the details on how to get your chance at one of TWO prize packages that will be drawn tomorrow:

Blogoversary Giveaway #1

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that I’m on the staff for Scrapbook News + Review Magazine.   Recently I’ve taken over coordinating the Altered/Home Decor section as well.  I posted the call for submissions for the September issue a while back and today is the deadline (it got extended a couple of days because I inadvertently left out the “c” in .com in my email addy, lol)!  I’d LOVE to see what my blog readers create so go check out the call here, see if you have anything that fits the call (or spend some crafty time today!), and submit it to me at jfranklin@scrapbooknewsandreview.com.  You’ve got all day to leave me a comment here so that I know that submission came from my blog party and for each submission, I’ll enter your name in the proverbial hat to win a little prize package!

Blogoversary coming up!

See that little countdown clock on the right side of the screen? Yup! One month from today my blog turns a year old! I’ve really been enjoying my little blog and hope you have too. I’m making some plans so you’ll definitely want to check back to see what I’ll be up to that day – giveaways, tutorials, a guest post or two…and whatever else I can come up with to celebrate!

To start the ball rolling just a little bit early, I’m starting one contest right now. As of today, I have had 18,731 visitors to my blog (that number just astounds me, lol!) and I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for sharing in the craftiness with me! Soooo, to celebrate, I have put together a little prize package for the reader who can come closest to guessing the number of visitors I’ll have had by the time August 25th (my Blogoversary!) comes around! To enter, simply add a comment to this post with your guess and on 8/25 I will check my Sitemeter count (for an added hint, this was NOT added until my blog had been up and running a while – the flag counter is a new one I just re-added as well since my old one got messed up!) and the person with the closest guess will win!

I’ll try to put everything together and get a photo a little later! 🙂
