Welcome to the Our Favorite Things Blog Candy Extravaganza!
You should have just come from Ellen's blog.
If you are just joining the hop and want to start from the beginning, please start at Dena's blog.
This is going to be an amazing event!
Many of you are familiar with Oprah Winfrey's famous "Favorite Things" show where audience members walk away with an array of fabulous gifts. It was always so fun to see how excited the audience members got with each giveaway. Well, if you've always wished you could sit in the audience of one of those show tapings, we have the next best thing for you!
Each participant in this hop is going to share a favorite of hers. It could be a craft-related item or a non-craft related item. In addition to that, each blogger is giving away blog candy! This means you have a chance to win at every stop!
Each blogger has her own rules for winning her blog candy, so please be sure to read the rules on each blog for a chance to win.
Without further ado, here is the project I created for this hop:
I created a two page layout of my top ten favorite things!
I used my favorite paper in the world, Echo Park from my favorite line "For the Record"
The first page is my top 5
#1-My Husband Wyatt
#2 My Babies- Dylan (the kitty) Dylan (my niece) Elle (the dog)
#3- Friends (My best bud Mandie and I at a Sounders game)
#4- Scraping (Mandie and I at a weekend scraping retreat)
#5-True Blood (Eric Northman, hottest vampire ever!)
Page 2
#6 Reading (My Kindle Fire and a list of some of my favorite books)
#7 The color GREEN (My green laptop, purse, wallet, football team)
#8 Music (Glen Phillips the lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket one of my all time faves!)
#9 Cheese (every kind of cheese we had in the fridge that day)
#10 The Paranormal (Ryan Buell from the TV show Paranormal State and I)
So there you have it! A small glimpse into my life and the things I love!
Now for some candy! Here are some of my favorite things that I would love to share with you!
As I mentioned before I love Echo Park. Here is another line that I love with some brads that closely match.
A Cuttlebug embossing folder that I love so much I bought it twice!
I mini dust pan and broom which I use ALL the time for my small table scraps.
And since fall is my favorite season and Halloween is all up in the mix I thought what the heck!
In order to win to my candy all I ask is that you show my post some love, that you are a follower of my blog, and that you live in the continental US. Super easy!!
The lucky winner will be chosen by random.org and announced on Tuesday the 6th!
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed what I shared with you today. Please be sure to hop on over to Liz's blog to see what she has to share with you and for more blog candy fun!
Happy hopping and good luck to you!

ReplyDeleteI love that you made scrapbook pages of your favourite things!! I am a new follower but unfortunitly I don't live in the U.S:(

What a super layout with so many of your favorite things!! So here are the answers to your questions: I'm proud to be a long-time follower (STALKER!) of yours ... I love your STYLE, wit, and projects ... and yes, I live in the continental U.S. (suburban Philadelphia).
ReplyDeleteAnd EEEEEEK, I love that idea of the little broom and dustpan for my table scraps. I'm going to have to scour my dollar store for one of those. And now I think I'll put my handheld vacuum up there too, since most of my scraps aren't TABLE scraps but FLOOR scraps. LOL. I am a messy crafter!!!!
Fondly,

Shannon, I love your colloage of your favorite things. I did catch the one of Sounders and happen to know that is a Seattle's soccer team. Although I have not been to one their games since the late 70's, my BFF and her husband are fans and go quite often. They too have their Sounders scarves and I see Sounders items displayed at their house all the time. So you can guess that we are somewhat neighbors in the bloggy land! I have to say though that the cutest picture on you pages has to be Dylan with the chocolate kiss hat! OMG that is so adorable. She is too and so perfect looking. Your giveaway is very generous! I did take a second look at the mini dust broom/pan and laughed. I have one of these in my camping box, but never thought about using one at my craft table. What a great idea. tfs Tami (I'm a follower_
