Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a FANTASTIC day!!

I think it was about a month ago now that I said to keep your eyes out for candy and I had all intentions to post my candy 1st April!

But… well… excuses excuses hey? Anyway better late than never I say.

When I first started blogging and began to understand what ‘blog candy’ was, I had thought it was all quite strange.

I mean

“WHERE WAS THE CHOCOLATE?!!??!”

Seriously? What do the majority of us crafters nibble on whilst we are hiding away at night crafting?

CHOCOLATE!!!!!!

So I just couldn’t help but scatter some of my absolute favourite chocolates in the world

mmmm… Ferrero Rocher

(hint hint for my DT to get me for my birthday prezzie! lol)

So why the candy? Just to say I luv’s ya!

I absolutely adore the crafting community and how everyone supports each other. It is truly like no other.

So every now and then I like to spread a bit of love

- yummy stuff -

and say thanks for having me!!

Thanks for all your support, kindness & friendships.

Click the image to see it up close!

There’s lots of stuff there from scissors to tweezers, dies to embossing folders, flowers and stuff,
Magnolia stamps, plus of course Make it Crafty stamps and laser embellishments!!

Now as for the chocolates…

Well I’ll confess… there is no way, the pictured chocolates are making their way to YOUR house.

There is already one in my tummy, oops make that two!
You didn’t think I was going to be able to write about chocolate and not EAT chocolate??!?

But I promise I will get more Ferrero Roche choccies before I send the parcel to the winner. hehee

CANDY UPDATE!!! ALREADY!!!!

I knew it might happen but I am still SHOCKED to hear chocolate not being everyone’s cup of tea!

Soooo…. the deal is (because there are only 4 Ferrero Roches left anyway)

I will get you what ever it is that you
secretly like to snack on when you are crafting.

Ok… within reason and as long as I can get it in Australia and then of course export it! lol

So how to play along?

Hi Everyone,

Well as some of my loyal followers may have read, a few days after my initial post I was appalled at myself for having not expressed how much I love you all properly in my blog candy New Year message. I was silly to have waited to write it up on New Years Day as it had turned out I had only had a few hours sleep and I was sitting here zombified thinking about everything I wanted to say but not actually EXPRESSING it!!

So I had been waiting for a parcel to arrive that had some goodies I couldn’t wait for but I wanted to share them! I have been wanting to put together another candy for my super special and loyal followers, my FRIENDS. :)

I made the card you might have seen yesterday especially for this special candy. :) For close ups click here

Now there is no new linky for this candy as this will be drawn a little differently. You still need to have entered my Anniversary Candy here where I will draw a SECOND random winner and a certain criteria must be met which I explain below.

This candy is a special thank you to the many of you who return often and leave me support. I have become friends with many of you where we email one another, chat on facebook or just by conversing on each other’s blogs.

I appreciate the time it takes to stop by, read my constant ramblings and then to type a message to share with me. We all know how much knowing that someone has stopped by means to us and of course I am no different.

I am just so happy to have been able to offer some inspiration to you all as you have for me.

As you may have guessed the criteria for winning this candy is as follows:
1. Enter your name in the linky on THIS PAGE HERE
2. Be a follower OR regular
3. Supported me with comments on my creations

If you are a NEW follower, I am hoping you have followed because you WANT to and not just for some candy. If you have just recently become a follower after coming across my blog through the candy, you still have an opportunity to win this candy if you are a ‘real’ follower and really do enjoy visiting and have continued to leave comments on my creations upon your first visit. I am not trying to be horrible, I just want those that have helped to shape me and those that continue to share in my passion to have equal opportunities in winning my extra ‘THANK YOU’ candy.

Please note that if by some extremely lucky chance the second random drawn number is the same person and they meet all the criteria, they will indeed win EVERYTHING.

If you would like to share this image on your blog you are welcome to but not required. :)

So again, a huge OPEN ARMED Thank you to all my wonderful friends who I have grown to love over the last year and a special Thank you to all of my new followers who I also hope to get to know over the coming year.

Big Squeezes!
