BLOG CANDY 6 MORE AND I AM AT 100..THANKS MOMO

WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK MAKES.  This time last week i had about 30 followers.  Now I am at 94.  So Lets Celebrate in a bloggy way.  This is my first attempt at giving away candy.  I decided to do a girly theme.  There are some brads that have purses on them, a purse stamp with matching file folders, some pearl stickers, green animal print ribbon and some green flat cards  Please leave a comment with the best way to contact you.  And tell me a project you keep saying you are going to try and haven't.  Mine is a banner-really want to make one just seems like it would take too much time.  Another thing I want to learn is quilling, I bought all the stuff this weekend-one step in the right direction.  I hope I am not the only procrastinator  out there.
