Thank you all so much for sticking with me when I took some time off to be with my family. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and support.
While I was taking my break, my blog counter snug over 1,000,000. Yesterday it passed another 100,000. It’s definitely time for some candy!
I will raffle away a new and unmounted Stampin’ Up! set called Wild Rose along with some retired ribbon.
To participate in the raffle, just leave a comment on this post.
Only one comment per person.
Please add your entry number to your comment (Post number +1).
I will pick a winner with help of random.org tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. CST.
I wish I could give away bigger gifts and hold blog candys more often. I am so grateful for all your visits and support. But I am not affiliated with any company (besides being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator) and the blog candy always comes out of my own pocket.

I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but here goes my entry. I think I’m Post #1.
I love your ideas, samples and tutorials. You are extremely creative and your style and colors are great. When I’m stuck for an idea – which is often – I know by looking at your gallery that I’ll find an idea. Thanks ever so much for sharing………JoAnn
ooh I’m #2. thanks so much!
WOW! I have NEVER been the first to post on your blog… Too many admirers beat me to the punch!
No need to apologize as far as I am concerned… Everything you do DAILY on this blog, for SCS, etc. is more than any of us should hope for! So much inspiration — you are too talented!
Thank YOU!

Hi! I am post #5… Just want you to know I subscribe to your blog and love seeing your posts! Your color choices are wonderful and I truly enjoy this site… I also subscribe to the SCS site, and love the Ask Beate section…
Take Care!
Congratulations on hitting 1,000,000. We would love to just have some consistent viewers to our blog. I do not know why you are not affiliated with any company. If it is your choice I applaud your loayalty to Stampin’ Up, if no one has picked you then shame on them as they are missing out on some awesome cards. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

No need to apologize! The fact that you share your amazing talent with us is gift enough. Any freebies are a perk, and completely unnecessary. That said, I would be silly not to try and win 😉
Thanks for all you do and share. Though I don’t post often, I do keep you and your family in my prayers. I’m glad you were able to enjoy some quality time together!

Okay so maybe it wasn’t a great idea to add the numbers to the posts, lol. Looks like you got a bunch at once and they are all out of order. Oh well, fun anyway! When I first clicked, it said I would be #14, but I know I got pushed back into the 20’s, so I’ll guess and say I’m #27!
I love your work! This is my very first comment.
I am #28

#63
Beate, thank you for all your cards, projects & tutorials. I print your tutorials off & file in a cabinet in stamping room so that they are readily available. Tutorials are always clear & precise which makes it very easy for this logic-challenged stamper to complete. I’ve completed a number of them!!!! Some many times over. Thank you, thank you, for sharing your talent!
Post #64
Beate, your work is absolutely beautiful, it is no wonder your blog counter is sky high!
Thanks for all the inspiration.

Post #72—the numbers are all messed up, but I’m following your ” comment number + 1″ rule!
Beate–I’m SOOOO glad you are back! I was sad when you were gone even though I was happy for you to have some time with your family. I LOVE looking down at my google reader and seeing a “1” next to your name! I just giggle and “RUN” over to your site to see the next wonderful post! Thanks for all your time to inspire those of us you don’t even know!
#73 – WOW, over 1,000,000, just hope I live long enought to hit 100,000. Seriously congratulations, you are my daily inspiration and see that you are the same for many others.

Beate:
#76 Love, love your ideas. Your work is AWSOME!!! So glad you are back posting again. Thanks soooooo much for sharing your talent. This is a GREAT blog giveaway!
Beth
#77 Beate, just sharing your art is “candy” enough. I’d read your blog in any event. I always thought offering prizes was just a way to get more readers, which you certainly don’t need. So do what’s best for YOU! thank you so much
Beate,
I believe I am #78.
You give gifts daily with all your beautiful designs and creations. I like your style and I get alot of ideas from you. Keep up the good work. My prayers are with you and your family.
Mary
Entry #79…missing our stamp time this week!!
Hi Beate! I visit your blog frequently for the inspiration! Your work is so pretty and I think your title fits your style so well. Good luck to your family and will pray for your husband’s safe return! #80
#81
Beate, you are simply amazing. I know I would be lost without your tutorials – I’m not very original 😉
THANK YOU for everything you do!
I love your website and am so glad you are posting again. Your talent really inspires so many of us. Thank you for making my day with your posts. Have a great day!
#82
#83
Beate… I should send you something to give away because I love reading your blog and seeing all your wonderful creations.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us all.

Post #84 (?? did the numbers get mixed up somehow?)
Beate- Time off? You have so much great stuff out there, honestly didn’t notice! You are too kind to give away goods….
Thanks for all your amazing ideas and tutorials!
#85
You wish you could give away BIGGER gifts???? Beate, your blog candy contests are the most generous out there. Thank you so much for all you do for us through this blog and splitcoast!
#86
I love your blog, Beate. Your work is so inspirational.
#87
Glad you’re back with us. I enjoy your blog. And trust me, giving stuff away is not why we’re here! It’s because we love your work and your posts!
#88 (looks like some numbers are missing!)
Beate, I would look at your blog, even if you gave nothing away. I think over a million hits shows a lot of people would do the same!
Thanks for treating us…I don’t have this set yet!!!
I think I’m # 89

Hi Beate, Iam new to stamping and I love your blog. Your creativity is so inspiring. I hope some day to have a fraction of the crativity you have been blessed with. Thanks for sharing your talent.

My first comment on your blog!!
I love your site and it inspired me to use my BIA. I used it last night for the first time and I Love it. Thanks for getting me to use what I have!!

I love your blog and all the work you put into it.
You shouldn’t appologize for taking a break – everyone deserves one, including you.
Thanks for being so generous!
Thankyou so much – wow – #96!
#97
I’m so glad you’re back Beate, I missed your creativity.
#98 – I read your blog daily. I missed your posts when you were away but understand you needed time with your family. Hope your husband is doing well.
Hi Beate!
It is so wonderful to have you back on-line!! I am glad you were able to spend some precious time with your family though.
Thanks for the chance to win some delic’ blog candy…that is very generous of you!!
I believe I am post #99.
Thanks Again!
#100!
Hi Beate, I’m glad you have a GREAT month with your family. And I, for one, appreciate any and all blog candy you offer. You don’t need to offer more candy… that’s just silly. I appreciate you and your blog (one of my heroes!!) for the creative outlet it is!
Thanks for sharing.
Bobbie *Ü*
#101
Congrats Beate! All I can say is…WOW! You’re truly an inspriation!
I’ll just put #102 since there are 102 posts and the previous person was on here twice.
#103 Thanks so much for this wonderful blog candy. I visit your site every day for ideas and inspiration.
I am happy to have you back and I sincerely hope you had a restful break with your family. I think perhaps the numbering has gotten all messed up so I don’t know what number I am so I am going to go with number 104 just to be safe and maybe everyone will follow after this.
105
Congrats on a successful blog! Sure did miss ya! 🙂
Not sure what post this will be. Maybe #106. I visit your blog at least once a day to see what you have going. I think you do a wonderful job, your art is beautiful and all you say feels like it comes straight from your heart. Thanx for sharing.
#107..since you have 2 104s-this is going to be confusing!
Anyway, I love your blog. I love that you put so much into your SU stamping, your family, and SCS. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. You are a true inspiration to all!
#108
You are very sweet to offer free stuff, never mind the frequency! I think the fact that you maintain your blog on such a regular basis with such great cards and challenges are a gift in itself!
Cheers,

I back counted….I’m #111 that will probably change by the time I get done typing.
Hi Beate, I’m new to your blog but very familar with your talent on SCS. I’m not a blogger or a demo. It’s a hobby that I have come to love. I’ve learned all I know about card making through the SCS website. Everyone has truly inspired me. Thanks for all your work on the tutorials. I look forward to participating in your challenges. Thanks!
Thanks you so much for all you have taught me. I am always learning some new technique and most of them come from you. What a sweet thing to do to give away such a nice gift. Love your blog.

#130 – Love your blog, Beate!!!
I think I’m post #131, just by a process of addition. And don’t ever apologize for the content of your blog candy – the fact it comes out of your own pocket only makes it more precious to the winner. I love your blog and visit often. Your cards are inspiring and your tutorials are so helpful. Keep on keepin’ on!
Lynn
Post 132……….unless somebody types faster than I……….LOL
I am not surprised that you have surpassed the 1 million mark, you have the greatest blog. You share so much with all of us to make us better stampers. Thanks ever so much…..DON’T ever stop. Paaaaaaaaaaaaalease!!!
Dear Beate….you are such a sweetheart and it takes about .05 seconds for anyone to realize that about you !!! You have such a kind and generous soul…you’re too good to everyone who enjoys your talent !!
#133
Your work is very inspiring – don’t feel bad
for not offering bigger blog candy… your
creative creations are enough for me!!

Absolutely awesome. I’m a SU demonstrator from Australia. Wish we had all your product. Your ideas both here and splitcoast have given me heaps of inspiration and got me out of my comfort zone. Thank you sooooo much!
#136
Hi, I think I’m #137, but I’m not sure; looks like the numbering is off a bit. But it’s a great idea because you sure are generating a lot of interest in this blog candy!
I, too am an SU demonstrator (hobby only); thank you for all of your inspirational ideas. Maybe someday when I have time (ha!) I’ll start my own blog.
Post 138 I think.
You share so much with us all in terms of projects, ideas creativity etc. don’t worry about not giving away blog candy – it is great when you can but we will keep reading anyway.
The counter says 138, so I think I’m #139. You do such beautiful work! It’s always a treat to visit.
Post 140 according to your blog. I do appreciate your generosity and am so glad you are back! Yes, I read your blog whether there is candy or not. This would be so much fun to win!!
Thank you.

Beate, the counter says I’m 384, but Jinny L says I’m 384 — I’m really 51 though! tee hee. I think your blog is always Fresh and Fun, I’m thrilled to know someone with the spine to take time off to be with her family and I’m grateful my brother is home from Iraq! Blessings to you and yours young lady! Mary

#403 Thank you so much for the time you put into your blog and stuff on SCS. You do a great job and many of us get to benefit from all your talent 🙂 I’m SO glad you took a month off as family comes first no matter what. I’m sure you got to have some wonderful times together as a family and my prayer for you is that the year will pass very quickly for all of you. In the meantime, I’m sure it will be great fun sending your DH care packages…may be a good thing to get a thread on SCS and allow us an opportunity to send Rick a card as well…guys over there will wonder why he gets so much mail :)…just a thought. Thanks again Beate and congrats on all the hits!!
Hit #404..good to see you back..looking forward to your next Stamp Camp projects..

Post Number 4501
Well, not sure what number I am. The post above me appears to have skipped #449, but put her number as #4501? I will assume I am number #450, and the random drawing gods will be smiling on that number! 🙂 I had just started to remember to check your weekend challenge when you took time off, but it was definitely the right thing for you to do… family comes first! Glad to have you back, and wish I wasn’t swamped with things at work right now, or I’d be doing the challenge today! Thanks for all you do, Beate! Your counter shows it… you are definitely a huge inspiration to many!

Wow, I love your site, love your creative talent and you are a great inspiration. This is my very first time to comment on a blog. 🙂 Congrats on all the views to your blog.
Hi! I’ve been stamping for 3 years now, but new to these blogs. Yours is one of my favorites. You are amazing at what you do and very inspirational. I now have a new addiction, your blog!!
Thank you for inspiring me.
HELLO,
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU POST ON SPLITCOAST. I BECAME AN SU DEMO IN JUNE AND HAVE RELIED HEAVILY ON SCS FOR IDEAS AND SUPPORT. I ALWAYS SEE YOUR NAME AND WANTED TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR TALENTS.
SORRY, I FOROT TO POST THE NUMBER!!! #460
#461. You have the greatest ideas and I always look through your site first for ideas.
This is great. I wanted you to know that I am sooo impressed with the cards you make and the inspiration you give to so many people/demonstrators with your challenges, etc. I have “copied” so many of your cards for my classes and for personal use. They are always so very professional looking and that’s what I want things to look like for my customers. I haven’t had much creative blood in my body, but since working with your ideas, etc. I have done some amazing things for me, like winning our stamp group swaps. This is such an amazing “job” and I love every minute of it and the help, encouragement and samples you provide.
thanks,
Janet
