Purple Onion Designs

And the winners are...

I decided to randomly pull 3 names to receive the stamps in the Coffee & Tea giveaway.  We were short a few people for the 3rd winner but I am nice like that. ;)  Congratulations to:

1. Kim Ross
2. Lisa T.
3. Linda (LW)

I have sent an email to each of the winners.

Please keep checking back to see the design team creations.  I'll have another giveaway next week.  There should be some new stamps coming soon as well!

Have a wonderful weekend and...

Coffee or Tea? Giveaway

I think the cold winter weather has been influencing the girls on the DT.  They have all been busy creating warm thoughts.

So, tell me are you a coffee or tea drinker?  Or both?  Leave a comment on today's post telling me which you drink.  I will randomly select one out of every 25 comments to win the following "To Go Cup" and Hopscotch Sentiment stamps.

Please spread the word about the giveaway.  The more comments the more prizes to be given away AND the better your odds of being chosen.  Only one comment per person though.  Maybe I will even start doing a little weekly or bi-weekly giveaway!

You have till the end of day tomorrow (11:00 pst) Wednesday, January 25th to leave a comment.

Here are some warm thoughts from the design team.  They love hearing from you too.  So, if you see something you partically like (and I know you do from all the pinning to Pinterest) then tell us that in your comment as well.

Hmmm...Guess What Yesterday Was...

Besides it probably being the best football game of the season for my husband (who I am pretty sure hasn't stopped thinking about the big Giants Superbowl party he is having).  We had something else going on around here.

Share A Little Love

I just wanted to send out a reminder before the weekend about the children's hospital Valentine Day card drive that Winter Sims is organizing.  It would be wonderful if you had a little time to create some cards for the drive.  All the details can be found on her blog:

I absolutely love this card from Donna!  The softness of the colors she chose are beautiful.  I love the textures of background, ribbon and that punched bottom!  I have always been drawn to that punch and this card might of pushed me over the edge.

Children's Hosptial Valentine Card Drive

I have a great reason to create some cards this week.  Winter Sims is coordinating a Valentine's Day card drive for the children at St. Jude's, Texas Children's Hospital, Vanderbilt Children's Hosptial and St. Louis Children's Hospital.  Please join in and send a card or two.  You can read all the details here.  The last day to send cards to Winter is January 31st.  There are a bunch of sponsors who are donating prizes to be raffled off to those that send in cards.

Welcome 2012!

Ok, so I am a little late getting here to welcome in 2012.  I do have the perfect project to kick off the new year.  Cherry created this fabulous calendar using the Perpetual Calendar Set and Stephanie Ackerman's Home Sweet Home.

In this next photo you can see how all the months of the year are stacked to create a calendar pad.

 

If you have been enjoying Cherry's work over the holiday season you will be happy to know there is much more to come!  Cherry is joining the girls on the design team.  Welcome Cherry!
