Hey there Darlene! I became a follower of your blog a while back because I love your creations! Always inspiring! The Pixie looks like a great tool to use for paper projects. I don't have a sewing machine (unless you count my Sew Crafty with a bent needle that runs on batteries) so would sure love to win one. :-) Amy
ReplyDeleteI have just recently found your site, I am a follower now and love your creations, would love a chance to win you give away.
ReplyDeleteWow, Darlene, this is a super give away! This would be much more convenient to use than my full size Brother sewing machine! LOL! I enjoy your inspiration and your blog!

Love your blog Darlene lots to look at. It is nice to have a chance to win a great gift. I have a sewing machine but don't do cards on it. This would be a fun addition to all my machines. I always enjoy looking at your creations. Thanks again and your blog looks great.

I am a new follower. Thank you for the opportunity to win this. I have long been wanting to sew on my cards so this would give me a chance. I love your background, I am a huge vintage fan and your design is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow Darlene ~ what generous and fabulous blog candy! I lug my big/heavy sewing machine to crops and it would be wonderful to have a small craft machine to take instead!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so beautiful. I like that the background behind the posts is muted and your posts are easy to read against it. The vintage feel is also nice.
I have posted your candy on my side bar with a link back to this post. I'll let you know when I get a post written about it on my blog as well.

First, I love your blog wouldn't change a thing. I appreciate the chance to win. The sewing machine Mom gave me has well pretty much bit the dust. I can only use it to put holes in the paper, I can't use thread in it, so this would be perfect. I am now a follower of your blog. Hugs! Leah Ann Oh! going now to put you candy on my blog!!!!
ReplyDeleteDarlene I love your entire blog - your characters and cards are so reflective of the way I like to 'see' my work turn out but it never does! hahaha!

OOOHHH what a cute little sewing machine! I have wanted one for a while. I am a new follower and you visited my blog and I wanted to return the favor. Love the blog candy! I plan to have a couple challenges around the week of April 23 when I get back home from visiting my daughter so check it out!
ReplyDeleteWell, I just found your blog while visiting another one that I follow so naturally I became a follower of yours immediately, lol! I don't find anything on your blog that I would change.....it is eye-catching like it is! I love that little craft machine and am hoping that I win that little booger :) Thanks for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteHi Darlene, I really like your blog as is but I know how we like to change things up a bit. The most important thing is that's it readable (i've seen some that aren't!).

Hi! I love your blog the way it is. I love the Victorian background. I have eye issues so I am always appreciative of thse who stick to the darker colors for print and a lighter color for the background. Yours is very readable! http://visionsofpaper.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and the background has been marvelous but I think maybe another one might be in order for awhile. Stay with the vintage. Love that style and I think u do too. I am a friend of your blog of course and would really love to win this machine. Always wanted to add sewing to my cards.
ReplyDeleteReach me at: ekciampo@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteI like your blog look now, it is different from most and that is what caught my attention. I actually went to look at the site of where you got yours. Really different! I also like all the links you have on the right column. Always looking for new places to visit.
Awesome candy, thanks for the chance to win!
What a super give away... I love your blog... just not enough time to get around to all of my favorites all the time. You art is always an inspiration!!!

there is no need to change your blog. i love it the way it is and all it has to offer. your background makes me feel like i am following and crafting with you in a enchanted forest. love it/ thanks
ReplyDeleteHey Darlene,
ReplyDeleteJust read your post on Morgan's visit. She's a very pretty girl and has one very creative grandma. I love your creations. I too especially love your blog's background. I want to run in the forest wit. Thanks for the chance to win the awesome blog candy. I will definitely write a post about your blog in my blog later on today (after my half-hearted spring cleaning).
I wouldn't change a thing on your blog...thats what I love about blogging, everyone is so different and unique ti themselves....I came to visit yur blog and found this lovely offereing...I will post it onmy sidebar for all to see...thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and I love your site...the background is wonderful, a fantastic "Jane Austen" feel.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I just have is a suggestion: Many times I link to a site via Google or someone else's link and once I'm there, I like to see what other posts the site owner has. I would just move your archive up towards the top so it's visible while I'm reading the current post so I can see what else you have to offer. That and maybe a visual of your work on the sidebar closer to the top. I'm so new to this that I'm always on the look-out for inspiration, tips and techniques from all you crafty geniuses. I love reading your blog!
I added your awesome blog candy button to my right sidebar too:

Hello, i am your newest follower. I found you through Garden of Grace.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautiful. I adore the vintage feel but also like how your design does not interfere with your written content. It is a nice compliment. The font could maybe be a bit larger so it is easier to read but everything seems quite lovely.
Your crafting is quite nice as well.
Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful prize.

I love all of your fabulous creations! One thing I might change is the actual layout of the blog by adding gadgets at the bottom. Since you have so many awards, this may be a good place for all of them, so this way we don't have to scroll down through so much stuff to get to the blog archive. I love changing my backgrounds a lot, so that may be another route to go for you.
