Yummy Candy Crystal. Thanks for the chance to win and I've got yours on my sidebar.

PS - Thanks so much for having my blog candy on your sidebar and all the sweet comments you've left for me.

Wendy Ramlakhan said...

Opps, forgot my best tip. I store all of my stamps in CD cases and label the spine with a label maker with the manuf. name and stamps inside. It saves tons of space and I they keeps things organized too.

Hi Crystal!! Happy birthday =) I your day is filled with lots of love and cake lol. Congrats on over 100 posts as well (fantastic work =). Thanks for letting your visitors celebrate with you! I think one of the best storage ideas i've received was using zip lock bags. I don't have a lot of room or supplies so putting scraps and stuff into a bag saves a lot of room. Keep up the amazing work with everything =)

Marlene said...

No need to enter me in your blog candy...just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on your 100th post!

Kym's Crafty Cards said...

Crystal, what lovely blog candy you have on offer. I have put a link to this in my sidebar. My tip is if you make a card and have scraps left over, either decorate the inside of the card or make into a tag instead of putting it into a scraps box and likely getting the edges damaged - been there, done that etc etc. Best wishes, kym xxx

Unknown said...

Debbi said...

Happy Birthday and Congrats! I have linked you to my sidebar. My tip:
I have stamped all of my stamps onto white paper and organized the pages by occasion/company, etc. in a 3-ring binder. Now when I need a birthday stamp, for instance, I just look in my book under "birthdays" and I can see all of the stamps I own. It saves so much time digging through boxes of stamps, plus I am less apt to not use stamps because I've forgotten them!

I just found your lovely blog. Thanks for the opportunity to win these goodies. I have posted the candy on my blog http://leeartsncrafts.blogspot.com/
The best crafting tip I've so far received is how to photograph my quilled work. To click from a distance using a tripod.

Fiona said...

congrats on your followers Crystal and Happy Birthday when it comes and thanks for the chance to win.

I think one of my tips is..I use old soap powder tubs to store various bits and bob, they see through so it makes it easy to find what you need, I also do the same as Wendy with CD's.

Rosalee said...

Wow wonderful candy!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The best tip I ever got... hmm tough one. I think it was the napkin technique I am using to create fancy patterned papers when I don't have any :). Really fun one to use also!

I posted about your candy in my sidebar, right here.

CricutLvr!! said...

Congratz on your 100+! Very exciting!! My tip is to organize as best as you can. Easier to find stuff you need, and more peaceful when you have an organized scraproom.

Shirley said...

This is amazing blog candy Crystal.
Congratulations on your 100 + posts on your blog.
My best tip is:-
I have sets of deep drawers on wheels and organise them in occasions of the year. I have one for Easter, Xmas, Valentine, Mother's day etc. I keep all associated card, papers, ribbons embellishments and stamped images in the theme and colours that matches the occasion.
When that time of year comes around I just fetch my labelled drawer and everything is ready for me to start working without having to search through my stash.
here is the link to my blog and your candy is top of the list in my side bar. http://cottonberrycreations.blogspot.com

Thanks for a chance to win!

And my fav tip....ways to store my stash and recycle. For example...use egg cartons for small embellies!!

Stampersue said...

Happy Birthday Crystal you are celebrating with some wonderful candy for us. My favourite tip is to use baby wipes to apply acrylic paint instead of a paint brush it covers so much better and no stray brush marks.

Make sure you use a GOOD strong adhesive (or double down with two) on cards you will mail in the winter. I get cards that have had the adhesive freeze and have fallen apart in the envelope during the winter. A puzzle falls out of the envy instead of the finished card, lol.

Si puedo, me encantaria participar en tu precioso sorteo, haber si tengo suerte!
Y un consejo.. No sabria que decirte.. Yo suelo guardar los botones, las cintas, adornos pequeños, que utilizo para mis cosas de scrap en botes de cristal de los que venden en Ikea y me gusta mucho como quedan en mi estanteria de trabajo :)
Saludos cariñosos desde España

Jan Garber said...

Happy Birthday! Just celebrated one myself! My best tip is to "Never buy supplies on a whim, or a sudden urge." That being said, I am now attempting to organize a new scrap space...and oh, the impulse purchases I regret!Your work and the prize is amazing! Thanks for the chance!

MissWatson said...

Happy Birthday Crystal and congratulations for the 100. Post!

Your Blog ist wonderful and I say THANKS for this Chance :o)

Hi Crysta, Happy birthday! I your day is filled with lots of love! Congrats on over 100 posts as well fantastic work!
I have very little material, such as stamps, the pres-existent, get around improvised means, so I have all easily fit in a shelf or on the left edge of the table.
I am pleased to become a follower, that would not miss your wonderful work.
Sorry for my English, I'd be happy to see you in my blog.

Congrats, dear! The best idea...oh they are so many! But I've got one really favorite :) I don't know how to say it in English, but I think you'll guess what I'm talkin about :) You know the little stars, that glow in the dark when they,ve been at light before that? Hope so :D Well a friend of mine placed that king of star on a card, and turned off the lights. I thougth I was goin' to get a star, because I was seein' only it, an then she gave me the card and...yeah! You can imagine my face when I realised I was holding something bigger than the star :)

Yvonne Russell said...

This is so generous of you. I am a follower of your blog. I have added your blog candy to my sidebar at http://paperflourish.blogspot.com/and linked back.

My best craft tip is to use a mini hair straightener to "iron" ribbon. It's compact and can be kept close at hand to use quickly as needed, rather than getting the iron out.

Congratulations on your blog milestones and thanks so much for inviting us to join in the celebrations.

Unknown said...

Sorry forgot my best tip! x if you are on a tight budget, get plain coloured ribbons, gems, peel offs they can all be coloured with permanent pens!!!! x Leigh x

Renae said...

Congrats on all your posts! Im glad I found your blog it was fun to read through. I just started mine so I have a long way to reach 100!! My best tip would be to use an over the door organizer for punches or other odd size crafts items, there easy to get to yet out of the way.
:) Renae

Renae said...

After adjusters get that package thing provided by an attorney with information, photos along with other documents and etc. How much time does it usually state in the letter to respond? Do adjusters really reply by or on the date? Just how do they respond by phone, email, letter or fax?
