Hey Everyone,
First of all, Thank you to everyone for the prayers and comments. Dad is doing so well. He still has a lot of recovering to do and has to behave himself (which isn't easy for him), but the positive thoughts and prayers have worked like a charm and he is really doing well. I had some time at the hospital and took my Gypsy with me and created some things. Had to do something constructive, you know... When he was safely home and things started getting back to normal, my Gypsy decided to have her own little health problem and had to be shipped to a technical specialist at the Provocraft hospital... so... still don't have any new projects yet. I did get a new toy and I am trying to get used to it, so projects will be coming, but in the mean time... I am gonna say thank you for everyone sticking with us through this challenging time and not losing faith in our blog... so let's do a giveaway. When I got my new toy, I decided to order an extra one to give to one lucky winner. It's a YUDU CARD SHOP! This is the fully loaded set from HSN. You get everything in the picture!
This set comes with the Card Shop, Sticky Mat, Sentiment Screen, Bird Cage Screen, Daubers, Inks, Black Yudu Ink, Squeegy, Cards, Envelopes and instructional DVD.
So... Here's what we are gonna do. You must be a follower to be eligible for the prize. Everyone will have three ways to have a chance to win...
1. Leave a comment telling us what the first thing is that you would try with your new toy.
2. Send a friend to comment and have them mention you for having sent them.
3. Share this giveaway on your own blog.
We will randomly select a winner, so you don't have to do all three to participate, but if you do them all, you will have three entries. We would love to reach 300 followers with this giveaway, but that will not hold up the prize. We will announce the winner on April Fools Day. Check back then to see if you've won. The winner will have until April 4th to contact us via e-mail accepting their prize or we will select another winner.
Again, Thank you all SO much for the well wishes, cards and prayers. Life is good and getting back to normal. We sincerely appreciate everyone's continued support!








what a great and generous give away. I am glad your family is doing better. I would so much love to win this first thing I would do is play play play. I will post this and send to a friend again thanks for the chance to win. I will wish myself luck ha
ReplyDeleteSo glad your Dad is doing well, and glad you will have some time to craft, can't wait to see what you will do with this. I would love love to have one, anything to do with making cards makes me happy. You know I am a followers already :), your guys are awesome. I sure hope you have better luck getting your G back from the hospital than I did. They sent two that were nor serialized to me :( the third one I finally got about a month later. Hugs to you & Jill Will put your giveaway on my blog gladly.
ReplyDeleteOh so happy that your dad is doing well - sorry I haven't gotten my card in the mail but it is ready to be sent!!! Also, thanks for the chance at this AWESOME machine - oh I so want one!!! So the first thing I would do is to create a card for you and Jill to say thank you!!! I'm telling my friends to come on by and it's up on my blog!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I am very happy to hear your Dad is doing so much better. :) I hope your G will be back and fully recovered very soon! Thank you so much for this incredible giveaway. I have wanted a YUDU Cardshop since the launch... they look like so much fun! I would like to make some of those tags they showed on the Circle Blog, totally cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fab news that your Dad is doing well. I have fancied the Yudu card shop since it was launched and also the full size Yudu but not seen them working over in the UK - they look great fun and open up worlds of opportunities. I think I would practice a birth announcement card for my future grand child.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to your dad....hope he is recovering well!
ReplyDeleteI saw where someone had used their Yudu Cardshop to make some cute little fabric tags and I think that would be my first try using it.
Thanks for the chance to win!!

Glad to hear that Dad is doing better. I was sent by "Scrappin my stress away"
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Dad is doing better! I love to make cards and give 99% of them away to family to give. I started out giving some to my sister and my mom and then it escalated to my aunts, cousins, and in-laws! I try to make cards in bulk, and this fun tool/toy would be such an amazing help with that!!!!!! I have wanted one but, due to income, have not been able to get one. Thanks so much for the chance!!!

So glad to hear that your Dad is doing better. The first thing I would do is make some better cards than what I have in my office. You will understand if you see the card I sent your Dad! You see I brought all my before Cricut cards to work and send from here. Well that is normally fine and dandy but then I was sending to the Cricut couple's Dad and didn't have anything else to send.... Put me in a tizzy but I finally decided it was more important to get the get well message out than to wait a week to make another card. Yup I think I need something to help me produce some beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear he is doing better.
So happy that your Dad is doing better.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that I would do if I won?
I would make you a thank you card!!!!!
Thanks

I saw this in HSN but I can't afford it write now. T saw that you could print on ribbon and I think that is what I would do first.
ReplyDeleteSorry, forgot to mention that marcia from: marciasmemories sent me to your site and I just became a follower.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I am looking forward to seeing beautiful things posted in the future--your blog itself is a thing of beauty! I am a high school teacher and have started a scrapbook/card-making club this year. The first thing I would do with the Yudu is to share it with my students and get them to love it as much as they love the Cricut now! They become quick addicts!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through http://scrappinmystressaway.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeletewhom I also just recently came across while blog hopping today.
Decided to follow you, you have an interesting blog.
Also quite a lovely giveaway. I've never seen one of these card shops before but it looks like a lot of fun.
If I won the first thing I'd do is watch the dvd so I'd know what I'm doing lol then do a few tests before leaping into making my mom a card for mother's day.
So glad your dad is doing better. Prayers do help. What a wonderful giveaway. I would love to win this. I would love to use this for background and then add cricut cuts. As my 41st anniversary is April 4th, this would be a perfect EXTRA present. I was actually sent here by Peggy at Daily Grace Creations.I've been a follower since the beginning and always look forward to your creations. Wish me Luck.
ReplyDeleteSO glad to hear your dad is doing better.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know there was a Yudu card maker! Now that I know about it, it sounds like something I would enjoy using a lot!
I am a follower! I am not familiar with the Yudu CardShop but it looks like a ton of fun! So the first thing I would do is practice making a card with it after I learned how to use it!!! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI too am a new follower, and hope your Dad is doing well. 1st thing I would make is some fun and colorful for my grand daughter to wear :-)
ReplyDeletethanks for a chance to win:-)

I think the first thing I would do with my new YuDu is make a few sympathy cards to have for a backup. It's nice to have a few in reserve so you don't have to make them when something tragic happens.

ReplyDeleteIf I won this Yudu, the first thing I would do with it would be to use it to make posters and cards to promote the "RUN FOR THE CURE". I am from a family of 13 brothers and sisters and we have lost our Mom and Brother, Wayne (45) to Cancer. This terrible disease touches someone close to everyone and the RUN is a way to raise money. We try to run every year as a family.
ReplyDeleteWow! what a great giveaway! Thanks so much for the chance to win. I am a new follower, but I have seen many of your projects on the Cricut MB. I would love this Yudu to make Cards for my DD's sweet 16 party this summer.
