A site for my handmade cards, accompanied by my photos and written meanderings which are occasionally witty, often tongue-in-cheek, and rarely profound. Beginning in June 2013, you'll also see lots of NBUS, which is an acronym I coined for Never-Before-Used-Schtuff. Note: my Privacy Policy can be found at a tab below and you can find my NBUS Challenge online. I hope you'll join in the fun there! Thanks for coming by! Have a beverage and enjoy!

WINNERS!! NBUS CHALLENGE #12

Hello, Stamplings and NBUS Players!

I usually make you a thank you card, but let's be honest, you just want to know if your name is below, haha, so I won't take up your time with a card! Of course, I wish I could give you all a prize, in addition to the pat-on-your-back-prize for using your NBUS! You make me proud!

I would like to thank Dr. and Mrs. Random Org and Hammy for the hours they spent on the drawing! As always, following a challenge, I will purchase a new wheel for Hammy, who has adjourned to a spa for a complete restorative treatment of his poor tired legs. And, of course, the Doc and his wife are just happy to be paid with a case of vino.

Enjoy your day!  No, seriously, enjoy!  LITS!*

Marianne said...

Congrats to all the lucky winners. It's nice to see several familiar names among them. Thank YOU, Darnell and Hammy for both entertaining us with your shenanigans and encouring us to use our virginal schtuff. I've been a good girl and immediately put two new items that I ordered from the Netherlands to good use. My sister was able and willing to carry them all the way to Crete. In return, I am now enabling her to buy more schtuff as well. I'm afraid it's largely my fault that she caught the stamping bug last year.
Hugs, Marianne xxx
