Candy Winner

Hi, I'm sorry, I have been far too busy with loads of things, my kids have been under the weather, but they are all better now.

I have used Random.org to pick the winner,

Congratulations Amanda R, can you please e-mail me at beckyheth@gmail.com and I will send you your crafty spends.

Thank you everyone for entering,

Hugs,

New Year Candy

This is a sticky post, please scroll down for my newer posts, thank you.

Hi everyone, as another year comes to an end I have decided to celebrate my year with a little candy, I am going to offer the winner £20 paid into their paypal account, that way you can buy your own crafty goodies, and get exactly what you want :)

I have had a few ups and downs this year, but the ups have been amazing. I was lucky enough to go to CHA in July and met some wonderful and amazing friends. I am lucky to be part of amazing design teams. I visited LOTV for an open day, and there are plenty of things already in the offing for 2014. I have also recently hit a milestone for me, I now have over 1000 followers, for that I can only thank you, I know I've said it before, but I really am grateful to each and everyone of you. I have also had some blushes, two of which are being referred to as THE Becky Hetherington, and having my style of card making as 'Becky-esque', lol.

All you have to do is display this picture on your sidebar, with a link back to this post. Pop your name in the linky below, you don't need a blog, just leave that bit blank, and become a follower. The candy finishes on 31st January, so pop back after then and see if you have been lucky. Please no candy only blogs.

Hugs,

Becky xx

A Little Candy

Hi everyone, I go on holiday tomorrow (Saturday) for a week to the Lakes, and at the moment of writing this I don't have a single item of clothing packed!! But, as I have been sorting crafty stuff to take with me I have just discovered that I have two of this stamp, so up for grabs is a Brand New In Packet Wedding Tilda.

The rules are simple, add your name to the linky (if you don't have a blog leave that bit blank), display the candy picture in your sidebar and follow me if you want to.

It's open until my kids go back to school, on 3rd September.

Thank you all for your support and lovely comments, I read and appreciate every one.

Hugs,

Candy Winner and CHA :)

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for the lateness of posting my candy winners. But, just before that, I would like to thank everyone that has entered my candy and left me such wonderful comments, they really do mean a lot. I read every comment that is left on my blog and do appreciate the time you all take to look at my creations.

The winner of the Live & Love Crafts voucher is,

that's you Jay

The winner of the Ribbongirl voucher is,

that's you, Britt.

Congratulations girls, please can you drop me an e-mail at beckyheth @ gmail.com (no spaces) and I will get your vouchers sorted. Please can you pop which voucher you have won in the email, thank you.

Now, grab yourself a cuppa and I will now tell you about my CHA experience.

I still can't really believe that I travelled to Las Vegas, by myself!! I only got lost once, and that was at Heathrow terminal 5, that place is huge!!

When I got to the hotel Angie and Mindy were there waiting for me, and it was like meeting up with old friends. Even though I was tired, and a bit minging from travelling I needed a drink before I went to bed, and apart from them struggling with my North East accent we had a lovely time.

The CHA schedule had changed slightly, so instead of setting up on the Sunday we went shopping :) We met up with the gorgeous Fabi, and went and had a quick look at the booth. Angie has the LDRS booth set up so that it really does glow

There had been a few problems during transport so we needed to find a home depot, and then we had to also find a pharmacy, BUT we were also taken to a scrapbooking store and also to a Michaels. I was so in my element. I need to get everyone elses photos as I didn't get everything, but between us all we did.

There were 4 of us in the car, and I don't think one of us had a sense of direction!! I know I dreamt about some of those street signs, it's a good job u-turns are legal in Nevada. 

Janiel turned up before we went for our meal, and Alby got there while we were eating it. Then we were 6. We all met at breakfast on the Monday, and went to set up the booth.

Here we are during the setup, just the stamps are out. When it came to setting out the projects and cards I was so in awe seeing everyone else's creations. They look amazing in photo's, but believe me when I say the photo's don't do them justice, they are stunning works of art.

There we are with projects out. Sorry, these pics are straight out of camera.

Almost done.

Here we all are, the LDRS CHA team Summer 2013, Las Vegas. 

I have not laughed as much in such a long time, it was a total blast, and a bit surreal. Meeting all of these people who's work I have admired for such a long time, and people popping to the booth looking familiar and then placing where you know them from. I really can't describe how amazing it was. I have to go back. I have looked forward to going all year, and looking back it seems as though it was over in a blink, but I will remember it forever.

Here's Janiel, Alby and Fabi at our little colouring desk. I could have sat and coloured with them all day long, I've never done anything like that before (well I sit and colour with Grace, but not the same, lol). Watching others colour, and getting tips on their method of colouring was amazing. I took my distress markers with me, and after people sat and watched us colouring they went and told Tim Holtz how impressed they were, he has contacted Angie and told her this, I feel a little bit special about this, lol.

While we were there quite a few people popped by, it was lovely to eventually meet Irina from La La Land stamps, she is so sweet. There were loads of others too, but I never always had my camera there.

I quickly met Tim Holtz.

Here I am at the Whimsey stall with an ex pat from North East England, the only person I could talk to with out having to repeat my self, lol.

The gorgeous Elise quickly met up with us at the hotel too, thank you sweetie for taking time out to come there and meet us, sorry we couldn't stay for longer, but I am so happy we met.

After a nigh tout with my uncle I met up with Rina, I was slightly tipsy by this point, lol.

Here we all are again out for our Design Team meal at Mesa at Ceasars Palace, what a fabulous night with gorgeous food and perfect company. 

Alby hard at work while we were taking the booth down.

Thank you so much Angie for this opportunity, as I have already said, I have not laughed so much for such long time and over a week on I am still trying to catch up with my sleep.

Hugs,

Happy Dance Candy

Becky's Surprise Christmas Candy

Hi everyone, I'm putting up a Surprise Christmas Candy for all of my followers old and new.

The reason it's a surprise is because I've not got my backside into gear to get everything together and photographed, there will be gorgeous ribbon, charms, embossing folders and at least one stamp, I already have Santa Lucia Tilda waiting, there may be more.....

All I ask is that if you're not already a follower you become one and display the above picture on your blog with a link back to me and add your name to the linky. But, if you don't have a blog you are still free to enter just add your name to the linky just leave the URL bit blank, I will post worldwide. Please, no candy only blogs though.

While I'm here I'm just reminding you that the Ribbon Girl is offering a daily give away, and there is also the Advent Calendar giveaways at Live & Love Crafts.

I'm going away for Christmas, so signal permitting I may or may not see you around. This year has been a hard one for me, but I have had great fun getting to know the card making world, I have 'met' some truly wonderful and lovely people, and they've been so helpful. I am honoured to be part of some amazing DT's with the sweetest ladies around.

This candy is open until 9am on 8th January, the same day as our new challenge blog Inky Chicks goes live, pop over and have a look, we have candy there too.

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2013.

Sorry Candy Winner

Hello my lovelies, I am genuinely touched by all of your lovely words, I know how hard this die is to get hold of, I wish I had loads to give you all, but I let Random.org choose, and taking out the comments of the peeps that didn't want to be in the draw,

Congratulations, that is you Anreda can you please drop me a line, my e-mail address is in the side bar, and I'll pop this in the post for you.

Sorry Candy

This is a sticky, please scroll down for my recent posts.

Hi everyone, hello to my followers, both old and new. I'm just popping a little candy on my blog for a week, just to say thank you for all of my lovely comments, they really do mean a lot, and also to say sorry, I've not been commenting a lot recently. I still look at your work, but I'm just a bit down at the moment and I've not found my ooomph to comment, I will get myself pulled round, but for now here's a very small candy.

It's a brand new Quickutz Corner die, I will ship all over the world, I will be drawing a winner from comments. You don't have to be a follower, and you don't have to display anything on your blog, it's just a little thank you from me, and my way of making me feel better for not being a conscientious blogger recently.

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday, I'm about to go to work on a 3-9 shift, but we're currently watching the Hearts and Motherwell game as our nephew is currently on the bench for Motherwell, and we're waiting to see if he gets his game (anyone who is interested our nephew is Stevie Hetherington).

Hugs,

Birthday Candy

Hi my lovelies,

This is sticky and will stay at the top until my candy is over. It's almost Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, and it's my hubby's birthday on the 28th. And, then the kids go back to school on 4th September. I have to admit these holidays have been a struggle for me, my lovely Mam used to mind my kiddies for me, but regular readers of my blog will know I lost my Mam in January. Luckily I work weird shifts, so at least I'm at home, albeit rather zombie like, but I'm with my babies. It's then my Birthday on September 11th, and I'll be another year older, and then three weeks today we're off to Zante for a week, I cannot wait.

My candy is going to run until we come home, on 20th September. It is open to everyone, worldwide, with a blog or not. All I ask is if you have a blog you follow me and display the picture on your side bar and link up with the linky. If you don't have a blog just leave me a comment, and I'll include you in numerical order from the last number on the Linky.

The candy includes white pearl rose organza, 5 mm self adhesive ivory pearls, baby dummy charms, other charms from my (considerable) stash, mini bags, Nitwit for LOTV paper pad, Sweet Sage Shabby Seam Binding, two Mini Clothes Pegs (only one pictured), a couple each of Tim Holtz Memo Pins, Trinket Pins and Hinge Clips, plus BNIP Tilda Learning To Dance. Most of these are linked to where I bought them, just click on the links to see the rest of the products available.

Candy Time

This is a sticky and will remain at the top until the candy has finished, please scroll down for my new posts.

I'm having such a great blogging time recently, I'm part of some amazing design teams and I've recently reached 300 followers and I really appreciate every comment I get. The candy includes Mini Magnolia paper, Lili Of The Valley Stamp, Pink Mini Kit from the Ribbon Girl and a Memory Box Estate Fence die. I will add a few extra bits, and I will post worldwide. All I ask is that you leave me a comment, and if you have a blog you display a picture of my candy with a link back here. You don't have to have a blog to enter, and you only have to follow me if you want to. My little girl is 5 on 22nd June and we're going away for her birthday, and we're going on holiday for a week on 7th July so I'm going to draw the candy when we return on 14th July.

Hi everyone,

I've not had the best of starts to the year, I lost my Mam and Dad in January and I've found card making a great way to get through this. Also, I'm getting close to 100 followers. Plus, within a week I was asked to join three great DT's, My Mum's Craft Shop Challenges, Lovely hAnglar Only and Totally Tilda.

I'm offering one lucky person the chance to win this candy, simply by commenting on this post and popping the picture about my candy on your blog and I'll draw a winner on 31st March. You don't have to follow me, but it would be nice.

There's 2 unused Special Edition Tilda's, 4 sheets of 6x6 Magnolia paper, several charms, 10 small bags for tags, a selection of ribbon, a butterfly Cheery Lynn die and a selection of wooden hearts. (The easel isn't included).

Good luck,
