Whimsical Wednesday Poll and Giveaway

Hello my crafting friends. I hope everyone is enjoying their week. Can anyone guess what is happening here in NY? Snow, snow and more snow. I have to admit, I love it...but the bitter cold I can do without. It was 14 below 0 Tuesday morning. I would rather be in CA right now, enjoying the warm weather and hopping around at CHA. I can't wait to hear about all the fun things going on there and all the new products coming out. My friend Kristal will be there with Cri-Kits and I know that she will be updating us as to what is going on so be sure to check out her blog.

So I have to admit that around 6:00pm last night I realized it was Wednesday and I have not put up my Whimsical Wednesday post, the day really got away from me. Jess and I had already decided to skip this week (we are working on a ton of stuff for upcoming projects, blog hops) but I still wanted to do a post with our poll and a giveaway. All of the suggestions were wonderful, so a huge thanks to all of you that commented and let us know what you want to see. Jess and I plan on using each and every one of them. In the meantime, we thought it would be fun to give you all a chance to vote on the top three suggestions. I tallied up all the challenge suggestions and the top three are alterable items, recipe (example..must use ribbon, buttons, bling), and  color (example....green, pink, blue). Now it is time for you to vote for your top choice for our upcoming Whimsical Wednesday Challenge.
 
Top Choice for Upcoming WWC
Alterable Item
Recipe
Color








  
pollcode.com free polls
You will have until Tuesday, February 1 at midnight to vote. We already have our challenge set for next week, it was actually right up there in the top with the other three! It is going to be a fun one, and we will also have a super talented guest designer. Jess and I  are really excited to be incorporating your choices into the challenges, so be sure to keep coming back, you never know which week we will be showcasing your favorite:) For those of you who are new to my blog you can check out Jess's blog (my Whimsical Wednesday partner and crafting bestie) here.

I was thrilled to reach 500 followers over the weekend! You know what that means....a fun giveaway. All you need to do is be a follower of my blog, and leave me a comment letting me know you voted  (you don't have to tell me your choice), just let me know you voted). I will announce the winner next Wednesday when our new challenge goes up. Here is what is up for grabs
This cartridge looks like a lot of fun, I think I will have to add this to my collection! Here are a couple of photos of some crafting embellishments that I have been working on:)
I hope you enjoyed your visit here today. Let me know what you think of my flowers and stick pins.

It was 60 today and supposed to be 70 tomorrow. Monday and Tuesday will bring us snow and ice. No wonder there are so many sick people around here.

Hi Stephanie, congrats on your 564 (!!!) followers! Good for you! I voted for the next challenge. I'm not an alterer (is that a word?), but I'm up for anything! I LOVE, LOVE your flowers...so pretty with the pearls. Looks like you've been busy! We received another 12 inches of snow yesterday...I think I heard that this is the 3rd snowiest year in Boston on record!! Just tell me that Spring will eventually come...!

Hi Stephenie~ those flowers & stick pins are stunning! You have been one busy lady. Your blog looks great & it so wonderful to see you so active on your blog. You have such great flair & bring so much fun to everything you do. I voted because I have enjoyed everything you & Jess have been doing. One of these days I will have to join in on the challenges. I am so painfully shy but little by little I will get out of my shell. Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog. Congrats on your blogging success. I am sure I will be back. Take care.
Crafty hugs,
Sonia
