Exciting times!!!

Ok... so I have been thinking. I have one of the most special anniversaries coming up on March 22: My scrapbook anniversary! It's something that I have celebrated with my scrapbook friends every year! except last year. I did not really know any scrapbook friends except Lisa Guidry and Andrea Gibson!! (smooches to you) and of course Elbie and Eurika (smooches to you 2 beautiful ladies too!!). But this year I know many more and I am in the mood to celebrate. Will you join me for a few day's of FUN here? And lots of fun give aways and raks!

On my first scrapbook-day celebration, I got my 3 favorite scrapbook friends together and we all had coffee and cake at Woolworths (sigh, missing my woolies!) and made some tags. Of course I promised to only copy them and give them back. But in the end I could not part with them!! hee-hee.

So, this year I want to do this again. Only this time it would be a cyber coffee and cake and a few other niceties and favorites and cuddly things!

Wanna play?

This is how it's going to work. Everyone who considers themselves a scrapbook friend, please make me a tag ( 6"x3") about YOU! I would love it if there was a picture of you on it. And something about you. (Look at the tag I made for Lisa G in my sidebar) This idea comes from the Making Memories Metal books.
Please DO NOT MAIL this to me, only email me an image! I will print them out and make a page or two about it just like I did here! I will also post them on my blog. Here's the fun part: From all of those who send me a tag, I will draw a name for a Making Memories SHOW AND TELL book!! YAY!! And remember, you get to keep the tag! I would love it if you start sending the tags to me even from today, so that I can post it on my blog the whole week until Thursday the 22nd when I will announce the winner of the show and tell book. I will send a beautiful Easter cuddly bunny to the girl who send me the first tag !! and everyday I will be giving away little surprises to those who comment and play along! AND I will also make a tag and email it to all who send me one!

Today, I want to kick the party off by asking you to link me to your blog. I want to make a sidebar list of all my scrapbook friends. So, those who have blogs, link me and see your name appear. And those who don't have blogs, link me to your galleries. And those who don;t have either, well, tell me something random about yourself.

And let see who wins the bunny!Smileys

Awww, you are too sweet and I am so proud to be your friend :) A very happy anniversary on this special day for you and us because if you would have not started to scrapbook, then we would have not been blessed with your awesome talent. I love my tag and it is hanging in my scraproom.

And I have a bunny from Wilna and it is so totally cute!

Happy Scrapaversary! I don't have a website or a gallery up, but I did want to say that I enjoy your blog, and I especially appreciate it when you share what God has been teaching you. It has been an encouragement to me!

I will make a tag - soon. can't today - too swamped.

I will have a blog soon. Won't be a scrapbooking blog, won't be a personal blog, ;). I'm sure I'll have more questions about blogging - like I've already asked you.

Love this blog - love you! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!!

Hi Wilna,

What a creative way to celebrate an anniversary. Wont be able to email you the tag as I dont have a scanner at home or even nearby. Plus you'll have to settle for a random fact about me as I dont have a blog or a gallery- I dont like socks with holes in them. I just dont. First sign of hole I toss them.

Ok that's it - by the time we move into our new home and get settled I'd better get new computers stuff, including a scanner that works - or else *insert rolling eyeballs here*!!

Would so LOVE to do the tag thing Wilna but won't be ready until I'm ready. *wink* Better not give my hubby a hard time about the computer especially now that I'm getting my dream house - one thing at a time, I know, I know!! Hugs to you!

I wanna play! Count me in. The stress is off - I just finished my MM Idol project for Monday's voting. Now I'm off to make my tag. What fun. What a great way to celebrate while getting to know other scrappers.
I just recently started reading your blog and now read it almost daily. Thanks a ton for the inspiration.

I admit I am a lurker, I always read and admire but never comment.

I will leave my blog address, just getting used to the whole idea of posting my LO (which most of the time I don't think are post worthy), but I hope you will add me.
