EXCITING NEWS!

Hi, everybody!  Take a look at my sidebar.  Notice anything different?  Right!  Scrapbook News and Review, an online, subscription only magazine, has chosen to publish two of my Artist Trading Cards in their October issue!  I'm over the top excited and bouncing off the walls!  I love this magazine!

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll have crafty stuff tomorrow so please come back.  Enjoy the weekend! 

BIRTHDAY BLOG CANDY WINNER!

We have a winner! There were more than 100 entries for the prize and I had an independent, unbiased person go to random.org to select the winner.

Drum roll, please . . . and the winner is Barb Fiskateer 2975!

Congratulations, Barb! Please forward your mailing address and phone number to me at travelnlesa@gmail.com.

Thanks to each and every one of you for making this giveaway, and my extended birthday celebration, so much fun. I hope you’ve enjoyed this leg of the trip as much as I have.  My brother and I both thank you for all the birthday wishes, too.

Please check back in on Traveling Down a Crafty Road soon. I’ll be back to posting about crafty things in the next few days.

CELEBRATE WITH ME!

Today is my birthday! I am now 50 something—at least for the next nine years, LOL! This photo was taken at our first birthday party. I’m on the right and that cutie pie on the left is my twin brother. Happy Birthday, Bubba!

I want YOU to help me celebrate! No cards, mini books, or layouts today. I have something else “sweet” in store—blog candy! I want to give one of you a birthday present—straight from me to you! It’s a bit progressive but so easy. I know you will want to do it. Here are the rules—

* Become a follower of my blog—you get one chance to win,
* Comment on this post—you get another chance to win,
* Comment on additional posts from this one forward until 9/12, midnight CST—you get one chance to win for each post you comment on. I can promise at least 5 additional posts between now and 9/12/2009.
* A winner will be drawn on 9/13 and announced on the blog.

So you can have at least 7 chances in the “birthday bucket” if you want. Go for it! A little spreadsheet will keep up with your entries and I’ll rely on random.org for the winner. I’m looking forward to giving away . . .

NOTES: Because of the size and weight of the package, I must limit this prize giveaway to US residents only.
The quality of the photo does not accurately reflect the quality of the prize. Argh! Lighting issues here--it's raining!

Thanks for joining my birthday celebration! Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the page to sign my guest book.

WELCOME!

Welcome to Traveling Down A Crafty Road! Thank you for visiting. I hope you will join me for the journey. Along the way, I intend to share my crafty art so be on the look out for scrapbook layouts, mini albums, artist trading cards, greeting and note cards. Sewing projects, altered items, and crafts I haven’t tried yet will make an appearance, too. Every journey has the potential for the unexpected so count on a few curious tidbits occasionally.

Traveling Down A Crafty Road is like an eagerly anticipated vacation for me. Bags packed; GPS in hand; LET’S GO!
