It's My Birthday and I'll give away Blog Candy if I want to!

Hello everyone! In just 2 short weeks, on March 2nd, yours truly will be celebrating a birthday and I would love to have my mailbox flooded with handmade birthday cards and greetings! Wouldn't that be fun!

So, I've decided to offer some very special blog candy for one lucky, random winner. All the cards will be eventually donated and sent over seas to deployed servicemen and women, who will be able to send them back to loved ones for their birthdays. So please do not write a greeting to me on the inside of the card. If you would like to send a personal birthday greeting to me (which would thrill me to pieces), please write it on a post-it note or separate piece of paper and tuck it inside the card. That way, I'll get to enjoy, and keep your greeting, and still pass the beautiful, handmade cards onto our military personnel. I would love to be able to ship off a box of 200 or more birthday cards to our military personnel and you can help me in reaching that goal!

The creator of every card I receive will be entered in a random drawing for the following FABULOUSO Blog Candy which will include the following items - Playful Pieces Clear Mount Hostess Level Three Stamp Set (this set has so many pieces it needs to be stored in 2 DVD cases!); Clear Acrylic Blocks A, B, & C; and a Scallop Trim Border Punch.

Can we do it? Of course we can!!!! Remember the goal is to receive at least 200 cards which can be sent to out to our military personnel. I can't wait to see all the great cards that you'll be sending my way, knowing they will be shared with military personnel and their families!

Here's the rules:
1. Create a hand-made birthday card. Supplies do not need to be limited to Stampin' Up! products, (although you know how I love to see those Stampin' Up! supplies used on cards.) A personal greeting to me (if you wish to include one) should be on a separate piece of paper, not written on the card. Also on that separate piece of paper, include your name, address and e-mail address.
2. Mail your card to Christi Waite, 3832 Black Creek Dr., Hudsonville, MI, 49426. Cards must be postmarked by March 2nd.
3. Leave a comment on my blog (any post) to let me know your card is coming in the mail.
4. I will share pictures of some of my favorites on my blog throughout March. Once I photograph them and enter the creators name in the drawing, the cards will be packed-up and sent to the military personnel.
5. On Sunday, March 6th, the lucky Blog Candy Winner will be announced and their card featured on my blog. The winner will be chosen from a random drawing (names will be drawn out of a bowl by my husband). Each card received represents one chance in the drawing. If you send multiple cards, you will have multiple chances in the drawing.
6. Also on March 6th, I will announce the total number of cards that were received and that will be sent to the military personnel. I will also report from time to time the number of cards being received.
7. Entries can be sent from anywhere in the world and not limited to residents of the US.

This is going to be so much fun! It's a win-win situation! I will get lots of wonderful mail and birthday greetings in my box (maybe I better warn my mail carrier!), you will get a chance to win a fabulous Blog Candy Package and possibly have your card featured on my blog, and military families will receive hand-made greetings from their loved ones serving our country! Fabulous! I can't wait to see your card!

So - on to the Blog Candy...

These are the items that the lucky winner will receive from me, but seriously - the real winners will be the service men and women and their loved ones who get to receive one of your beautiful hand made cards.

Have a Blessed Day!
