When I started my blog 2+ years ago, I never imagined 200 followers would join along with all the visitors that stop by. Blogging is great fun, I've met so many talented and friendly people all over the world who inspire me with their beautiful designs. Also, your kind comments are always greatly appreciated.
As a way to say 'thank you' and to celebrate, I have a little stash of unused stamps that I've been saving for the day I reached 200 followers to give out as a prize.
If you would like to be included in the draw to win the blog candy above - (Stamps by Outlines, IO & the Artful Stamper along with pearl & rhinestone bling) - please leave a comment at the end of this post. I'll draw a winner using Random Org from the comments on Friday, January 17th and announce who it is by January 18th. In fairness to my loyal followers, you need to be a follower to win.
And below is a tag that I recently created using Designs by Ryn stamps. (I used Spiral Branch, Sea Bubbles, Rising Bubbles and Starfish set)
You are all amazing, thank you so much for your wonderful support,
Have a great day and Good Luck !

Hi, Shirley! How exciting to reach 200 - it is quite an accomplishment, and just think 51 more following you also by blog lovin (such as myself) - I have tremendously enjoyed your Art Journal, and your cards, Shirley - your soul-full artwork is amazing, and always blesses my soul and my imagination! Congratulations! hugs, de
Love the tag! It looks so playful with the coloured stamps glued on it! And the colours make it so versatile to use... Congrats to 200 followers! Sounds like a lot of people! Starting with blogging was my way to learn moore techniques and mayby get to know some people as mad as I about stamps and all you can do with them...never thought it would be so much fun! It´s great to peep in and get inspired (without coppying)! Hope you will have a great week and stay warm! Sending some sunny greetings, Gerrina
I have your blog bookmarked and normally check on you via that route but I went ahead and pushed the button to follow you through google friend connect. Funny how I have all of these different ways to get to peoples blogs but none of them are through my blogger dashboard. Anyway, I love your work and wanted to thank you for offering your generous prize. Your tag is really pretty, I love those starfish! Thanks for sharing.
Katie B.
