BLOG CANDY! Free Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer

Boy, oh, boy! Have I got a treat for you today?

I am not one of those people who celebrates my birthday for a month at a time. “OOOOOHHHH! Only 45 days until my birthday. I can’t wait…OOOOOOHHHH! It’s finally my birthday month..my birthday week…did you know it’s my birthday?!” Yes! We all know. Frankly, I find that behavior exhausting. By the time that person’s birthday gets here, everyone is THANKFUL it’s over. And then you hear, “OOOOOOHHHH! 364 days until my birthday.” Geez! Will it ever end?

All that to tell you I have a birthday next week. This is a big one (it has a zero in it), so everyone is asking what I want to do for my birthday! Here’s a list of what I want:

• I want to have a delicious dinner at Annie’s Thai Restaurant (the best food…ever).
• I want to get together to stamp with friends
• I want everyone who reads this post to buy $25 of Stampin’ Up! product from my demo site.

Since the third bullet point AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN (I totally get it! – you either have a wonderful demonstrator to whom you are loyal, or you are a demonstrator yourself), I’ve decided that I am going to give YOU a gift for my birthday. Here’s a subtle hint at what I’m giving away:

Does this photo capture “crazy eyes” well enough? I was attempting to capture the maniacal energy of a used car commercial. **If you film, edit or produce used car commercials, then please reread that last sentence, substituting “the maniacal energy of a used car commercial” with “the maniacal energy of a crazed clown”.** ***If you are a crazed clown who makes used car commercials, then I am so sorry to offend you. You are special.***

OK! OK! Let me get to it! Leave me a comment on this blog post (as many as you want – all week long) to let me know what your ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Stampin’ Up! product is. Is it a punch? Is it a tool? Is it a color? What can you NOT live without? My goal is to have 400 comments on this post (and that’s not a hint as to which birthday I will be celebrating). Won’t you help me make my birthday wish come true?

On Sunday morning, after I wake up and sing a couple of rounds of “Happy Birthday to Me!”, I will announce the winner of my very first Blog Candy Giveaway! The winner will receive a BRAND NEW Stampin’ Trimmer as a gift from me. Yipee! Doodle! Dee! (Sorry to all my followers in Canada, England and Japan, I can only ship to a U.S. address).

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

And so begins the last countdown until my very special day…

🙂
