Wednesday Winner POSTED!!

Again, my SINCEREST apologies for the delay! Life sucks sometimes! HAHA!

If you look UNDER the video, you will see proof of my horrible morning. This is sampling of what I had to put up with. The little boy who seemingly LOOKS like an angel in the video definately WASN'T one, just BEFORE a forced MORNING NAP!

After yet, MORE FAMILY ISSUES, which we won't get into, I seriously had to lay down too, so I asked Isaac if he wanted to snuggle in my bed, and since he did, I KNEW it was BAD! HAHA! Well, we both got some rest and felt better afterwards UNTIL I realized that I forgot about posting this prior to laying down! UGH!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't seem to get ahead!

SO, enough of the pity party already!! SORRY, I am just having some problems, let me tell ya! OK, so CONGRATS to the NEW WINNER!!!! I will force you to watch the video to see if it is YOU! I will post something new either tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on what I am able to accomplish today! So check back soon! THANKS for to everyone for continuing to support my #1 ranking on the TOP 100 Designers website!

Have a SUPAH DUPAH DAY!

WEDNESDAY WINNER FOR APRIL 15TH!

I just finished a set of notecards for a Big Brothers/Big Sisters Benefit this morning. I had been working on them all week and had to get the basket all done and off to it's final destination. Which is why this is late in posting! SORRY ABOUT THAT!

Here's three totally cute clear sets of stamps by GStudio! There's a Wedding set, a Baby set and a Thank You set, that will just be perfect for those little gift cards that we all seem to neglect making! Maybe these will be a happy reminder to you in your stamping studio!

HOW do you win? Really! Do you need to ask? The directions are at the top of the blog!! HAHA! For this week, simply leave a comment on this post giving me some fresh new ideas for Mother's Day gifts you would like to see me create and make available for sale by the end of the month!

You can also get an entry every single day by CLICKING HERE {or on the pink and green tent under my profile picture at left} every 24 hours! THEN click on the long white bar on the next page and find my banner (currently on the first page)!

Come back here to this Wed. Winner post and tell me my ranking! SO SIMPLE! I used to have you email me each day, but you don't need to do that anymore. Just commenting on this post with my ranking will work! NOW, if I notice the numbers don't match, I will figure it out and will not offer the opportunity to earn extra entries, SO BE HONEST!

Be sure to give me those awesome NEW ideas for Mother's Day! (Please don't post past items I have created! Let's GO with some FRESH IDEAS!) Could be jewelry related, gift related or paper-related! What would you like to see? On APRIL 15th, I will post the drawing of the winner with a couple of your suggestions already designed up! That is, IF I can manage to create some of your brilliant ideas! I will sure enjoy trying!

Thanks for all of your voting support and also for helping me create some new artisan items!

WEDNESDAY WINNER for 4/1 POSTED!

The winner of the fabulous KEYBLING is DENISE (PEANUTBEE)!!!! Believe it or not, she was the first person to comment and Isaac pulled her name out earlier just prior to going to preschool. For some reason the video isn't uploading again. It did this one before for another Wed. winner drawing, and then eventually worked, so maybe the kinks will work themselves out!

CONGRATULATIONS, DENISE!!!!

Email me (you have the addy!) your snailmail and I will pop it in the mail for you tomorrow!

I will post the next WINNER GIVEAWAY this afternoon or tomorrow, at latest! Thanks again to everyone who voted and helped me back to the #2 ranking within 3 days! I am close to #1, but I am glad just to be on the first page in the top 20! If you click on the tent today and want an entry in the next Wed. Winner drawing, just leave a comment on this post letting me know my rank!

Check back for the next candy item!

Seriously...

I can not win. Something else happened to me to set me off. I will not elaborate, but just know I am needing to take a wee little bit of a personal-break. If you need me, please email and I will check email as I can find time between naps and compulsive shopping sprees. (ha!)

I will post the wed. winner later. I am even having issues with my camera (just another thing to add to my list right now!), so I will try it again and hopefully post it soon.

UNTIL THEN...... Please check out SheetLoad of Cards for their new April Issue!!

I don't have anything in this issue, this was my month off, but I have to tell you that the cards and projects are just stunning! SO, please go check it out! AND don't forget to take pictures of the cards you make with April's sketch so you can participate in the Shout Out to SheetLoad later this month! Alicia always has awesome goodies to give away for the most creative card!

I'll be back!

Wednesday Winner for APRIL 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY! Can you believe it? WHEW! What a weekend it was! Here's the Wednesday Winner crafted of sterling silver, Swarovski Crystals and handmade lampworked glass beads in yellow and a melon red! STUNNING! AND with these colors you are SURE not to mis-place your keys!

I should mention that the honkin' funky key on here is silver-tone, not sterling, that would be crazy for me to give away that for free! HA! I found this cool key at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and thought it would be a fun addition to a keybling (my word for keychain)! This would be a perfect Mother's Day gift, would it not?

Ok, so how do you win? Comment on this post telling me your favorite jewelry piece you have now. Wedding rings? Sentimental gift? I love jewelry and jewelry STORIES! If you want more entries, posting this on your blog will give you one additional entry and for every time you click on the Top 100 Tent/Banner (at left) and enter the site (just by clicking on the long bar) you will get another additional entry! You can do this every 24 hours!

{Please note that once you enter the TOP 100 Site you DO NOT need to give me a rating OR leave a comment on the site! JUST by seeing my Anderson Arts banner with beads on it, gives me a vote!}



Notice that I am extending the drawing date. It will not be THIS Wednesday, however, but the following, on April 1st. The Wednesday I may be at the Zoo in Evansville with the kiddos, since we are on Spring Break. Plus I just posted it and it would be silly to draw in two days! This works to your advantage so you can spread the word and vote every 24 hours at the Top 100 Jewelry & Beaders Website, too! Every time you enter the site and vote just leave a comment on this post telling me my rank! I am currently on the first page, ranked at 15! NOT BAD!

So, let the games begin! HAVE A SUPER DAY!

Added back the Top 100 Voting

For those long-time blog followers you will notice that the cute little pink, green and black striped tent banner is back at LEFT! Encouraged this morning by an email from a fellow jewelry designer in California, Julie of RockerJewlz.blogspot.com, I have decided to bring back the Top 100 Jewelry Designers banner. Just knowing that she found me on that site after not really supporting it for a while makes me re-think its' benefits of people (and future customers) finding me!

HOW DO YOU VOTE? All you have to do is click on that cute striped tent, which takes you to another screen. THEN just click on the LONG WHITE BAR to enter. That is it!! SO EASY!

Best thing yet is that you can click on the tent EVERY SINGLE DAY! Yep, you can click on the banner one time every 24 hours! WOOHOO! I am not going to be a huge stickler about counting up the votes at the Top 100 Jewelry Designers website, but I will be able to tell if you are really doing it by following the numbers. Don't feel like you HAVE to do this everyday! Just if you want! AND if you want more entries for that week's freebie!

If you click on the TENT/BANNER, just leave a comment on the Wednesday Winner Post that you did so, and I will give you an additional entry into the Wednesday Winner Drawing for that week!

OK, so I am sure you want to know.... WHERE IN THE HECK IS THIS WEEK'S WINNER POST?????

HAHA!

I haven't posted it yet! BUT, if you do care to go ahead and post a comment that you clicked on the banner and entered the site, you can let me know on THIS POST RIGHT HERE NOW! Also, if you want to be entered into the drawing for the keychain (which is coming up) you can comment on this post what your most favorite jewelry piece is... wedding ring? antique gift from your grandma? Let's hear those stories! Be sure to check out Julie's designs, too. She and I are quite similar in our styles!!

Enjoy your day! Thanks, Julie!!

I know... I know...

... the Wednesday Winner isn't posted.

Single parenting sucks, that is all I am saying!

With Scott being gone, I haven't been able to get crap done! OH MY, it is going to be a long 21 hours until he gets home! I will try my best to get it done tomorrow. NO PROMISES though! I DID manage to get a few things done, just not anything artsy fartsy.

Pray for me... just that I survive with at least a little sanity until Scott gets home!

Have a super Friday!

Wednesday Winner POSTED!!

And the winnner is.... CHRISSI! I haven't had time this afternoon to do the video, so I had my son Josh pick a number!!! I took into account those that posted on their blog as well, so this makes CHRISSI the winner!! Chrissi is a fellow design team (in-store) member of Precious Scraps!

I put together a cute little Mary Engelbreit ensemble of a journal, bookmark, magnet and magnetic 'to-do' paper pad. AND of course, I needed to put in something 'stamp-y', so I included some clear stamps and a rubber one, too. Each has flowers to coordinate with the Engelbreit set and its sentiment.... "Sow Good Services; Sweet Remembrances Will Grow From Them." quoted from Mde. del Stael.

Congrats, CHRISSI!!

Check back tomorrow for the March 25th Wednesday Winner!!

Wednesday Winner for March 18th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday Winner for March 11th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting back to the 'basics' here! This week's Wednesday Winner is this summery-looking Birthday card; perfect for gift-giving over the next few months! Please don't be disappointed that it isn't another necklace or stamping supply! I will do that all too soon again, though, I promise!

Hmm... How do you win?? Let's see... I KNOW!

Since Spring Breaks are upon us, leave a comment on what you plan to do on your spring break! If you have no plans, then... what do you WISH you could do for an entire week??? Keep it clean; NO wishing that you could find the Bachelor Jason, in hopes that he will change his mind AGAIN to be with you! LOL! {I am so funny sometimes!} Enjoy the week!

Thanks for playing! Drawing will be March 11th at noontime!

Wednesday Winner WHOOPS!

Sorry Peeps, I totally spaced this week's Wednesday Winner! I don't have time to get everything ready and the video-uploaded for noontime now. I have to get Isaac fed and ready for preschool! AND then there is noone to draw!! SO, I am going to allow new entries until 3pm and then have KayLee do the drawing after she comes home from school!

OOOOOOOH! I almost forgot! I am not only drawing for today's WEDNESDAY WINNER! I am drawing for LAST WEEK'S TOO! I know that there are peeps out there that blog-candy-hop and don't really follow people's blogs, so when the last gal didn't contact me this whole week, I decided she must really not 'follow' my blog and all of its' abundant creativity! HAHAHAAA!

SO, I am re-drawing for the necklace, too! YEAH!!! LUCKY YOU!!!!! So, check back around 4'ish and I will have the new video ready! {NOTE: If I don't, then email me! I might have forgotten again! LOL!!!}

Enjoy the rest of your morning!

Wednesday Winner for March 4th!!!!!!!!

Here you go people! Here's the next Wednesday Winner! HOW DO YOU WIN??? Just leave a comment on this post telling me if you prefer rubber or clear stamps! I am really curious! I used to not like clear, but have since found out that there are different types of clear stamps! AND man, do they stamp different! If you want to hook your blog up to this post, you will double your chance to win! Just hook me up!

GOOD LUCK!

Wednesday WinnerS for February 18th!!

February 18th's Wednesday Winner is some wonderful RIBBON by Heidi Grace!! I was going through my stash this morning while trying to clean out some stuff to take to my friend's second-hand scrapbook sale and came across three of these!! So, after snagging one for myself, I thought I would offer up TWO of these to TWO winners!!

What do you need to do to win?? Hmm.... Leave a comment telling me what your most fabulous birthday was! February 18th is my dad's birthday (same day of this Wednesday Winner) AND my birthday is coming up soon there after! (Hence the TWO SETS!!)

SO, leave a comment telling me about your most fun, favorite and/or memorable birthday!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Feb 11 Wednesday Winner of CellBling!!

This time youtube didn't give me errors! AND YES, I do realize that it looks like the same video since Isaac is wearing the exact same outfit as last week's video (I swear he picks out his own clothes!), but as you can see in the font of the winner's name, it is not the same drawing!!

Thanks to everyone for participating!! I really enjoyed hearing what everyone was doing for Valentines! Thanks for playing along! (Oh, watch the video of Isaac, he starts with his finger in his ear and ends it with his finger in his ear! HAHA! AND NO, he doesn't have an ear infection!)

I will post the next WEDNESDAY WINNER this afternoon!!

Wednesday Winner

Wednesday Winner IS CLOSED right now. I am waiting for Youtube to process the video! The next Wednesday Winner will be posted later today so come back and comment on it! Any suggestions for future W.W.'s are happily accepted! Comment on this post something you may like to see next time!

Wednesday's Freebie!

Don't forget to post a comment on this week's Wednesday Winner!! Drawing is Wednesday noontime!

WEDNESDAY WINNER for February 11

Here it is! The next Wednesday Winner for February 11th! For you drifters and newbie-bloggers to Anderson Arts... this is a CellBling or BagBling or ScissorBling or ZipperBling! Personally, I think it is a little too fancy to just put on a pair of scissors so that noone accidentally takes your scissors instead of their own (for those scrappers out there), but if you don't have a cellphone with a little loop OR carry a purse OR EVER wear a jacket, I guess you could just put it on your scissors! HAHA!

This Bling is composed of a beautiful, deep orange-red lampwork bead (with swirls of light blue melted-in), sterling silver rope and daisy beads, and sparkley Swarovski Crystals in Indian Red and Light Azore. All strung on sterling silver wires which are then perfectly looped onto a 2 1/2" nylon black lanyard. YUMMY, isn't it??

HOW TO WIN?

a. Leave a comment, any comment (as long as it is not rude or vulger!) on THIS post
and just to make it fun...
b. Tell me what your plan on doing special for that 'significant other' for Valentines Day!
oh, and if you want a SECOND entry:
c. Post a link on your blog to this post on my blog, mentioning my Wednesday Winner!!!

OH, and YES, I do have more of these BLINGS in stock if you are interested in purchasing one for yourself, your mom or a friend! (Valentine's Day ISSSSSS just around the corner, don't forget!) Just email me and I will hook you up!

Thanks for playing along!
