A birthday for me, BLOG CANDY for you!

In celebration of my big FIFTIETH birthday (that wasn't as hard to type as I expected it to be), I'm giving away a gift because I feel so incredibly blessed. I have the good fortune to have a husband who completely indulges me and my crafting "needs," and I want to pay it forward.

Yep, it's the Easter 2010 cartridge, and it's up for grabs to one lucky bunny!  All you have to do is leave a comment under this post to enter the drawing and you just might have this new cartridge to put in your Easter basket.  It's a brand new cartridge in an unopened package and linkable to Gypsy.

I'll use a random selector to choose the winner on my birthday, February 9th. Be sure to leave your email in your post, and check back here on the evening of the 9th to find out if you won so you can give me your shipping address.  Good luck!

P.S. - Hop over to see what one of my followers and Cricut MB buddies did with the TreatHeart Box I posted Sunday.  She turned it into an adorable cookie holder! See her photos at My Polar Expressions.

Cindy - You truly are blessed to have a husband that supports this habit of ours. My husband also supports mine - he often complains as I drag him from craft store to craft store, but he does support my habit! He often even takes me! (Mine's a "crafter" in his own right - woodworking, home repair, & the like) It's really nice to have someone that understands the need to create & make things & of course, also that supports this "habit"!

A big HAPPY Birthday to a fellow "craft addict"!! - Julie
