Link Love & a Giveaway

This weekend I did a major purge in my studio, and now I have a large flat rate USPS box packed completely full of 6" and 4x6" papers and stamps, and a few other card making accessories thrown in for good measure.  If you'd like this big box of goodies to come to your house, just leave me a comment telling me a random act of kindness you will do some time in the next few weeks.  I'm getting ready to hit the road to celebrate my Dad's birthday with him, so I'll draw a winner Sunday morning when I return.

Here are a few links that caught my eye this week:

• The step-by-step photos on Dutch Girl Cooking ... way too many meals of tuna casserole as a kid had me swearing off fish casseroles, but this one looks yummy enough to try
• Meatless Monday ... these baked Southwestern Egg Rolls sound fabulous
• Super-fun printed lunch bags for back to school
• Text-y leaf pick tutorial ... makes me want to add these die cuts to my collection
• Looking forward to eating at Maxine's Cafe on our trip ... I hope they have my favorite roasted sweet potato salad.
• Food Jewelry from FancyGuppy (there's a lot of food on this list ... that's what happens when I'm hungry)
• 45 Free Handwritten Fonts

Enjoy the rest of the week ... see you back here on Sunday.

I teach rubber stamping/scrapbooking classes and offer to beginners or I have students that can't afford the supplies, they get freebie classes. We are also getting a project off the ground, sending cards to the troops so that they have cards to send home. In fact, I have a box I'm filling now to send with all kinds of cards and goodies. I'm always looking for special projects and love to leave little things to friends who are having a rough time, wanting to brighten up their day. I also love to have little goodie boxes I make up with kleenex, chicken noodle cup-a-soup, get well card, cough drops, etc....and keep them in the car. When I run into a clerk, etc....that isn't feeling well I will go in and take a cute little box to make their day.

I love how you share your link finds...always fun to check out new things. Thanks also for the chance to win some cool blog candy. This weekend I plan to order a custom "made by" stamp and I'm going to order one for my stamping buddy too. I know she'll love it!

Hmmmm....what if I do the same as you....let's face it, as crafters we typically have a ton of stuff...I can certainly fill up a box to do as blog candy similar to yours :)

How sweet you are. I'll be sending out some cards of encouragement.

Oh, thanks for doing this. Three of my friends and I have started getting together to inspire each other to scrapbook and make cards. One of the girls just started scrapbooking so when we get together we all pitch in and give her some of our goodies. It would really be nice if I could surprise her with some paper and stamps.

Thanks for having this RAK

In the coming weeks me and my craft club will be making cards to donate to Cards for Heroes. We do this periodically throughout the year and its always a hit!

You are so generous! I spent time with a young mom yesterday!

for a RAK, I want to do a demo for a senior crafting group of ladies that would be making magnectic bookmarkers from rubber
stamps and also from used and recycled greeting cards.

An old neighbor is now in the nursing home. I visit her and take her chocolates, caramels or caramel corn. I take her out shopping when she asks and we go to lunch. She loves it when I bring my grandson, who asks to visit her.
