CELEBRATING WITH A WHOLE LOTTA BLOG CANDY! ***This Giveaway is now closed....winner to be announced soon!***

I can't thank you enough for being a part of The Open Window!
I have enjoyed your company so much and your comments
make it a pleasure to post each and every day.
To celebrate going over the 100 followers mark,
I am offering a crazy...fabulous blog candy giveaway!
Over $125 in crazy...fabulous!

Rubber stamps (at least 12), papers, rub-ons, embellishments, including brads, snaps and metals, stickers, cardstock w/envelopes, ink, Martha Stewart ribbons and trims and
Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine
to boot!
There are so many things that you can't see in the photo!

Now...I am going to make this pretty easy on all of you, but I am going to ask for 'a little more love' in return. This is open to all who would like to participate, so here's all you have to do...

If you are already a follower and you have a blog
I would appreciate a quick mention of our celebration here at The Open Window on your blog. Nothing long, nothing detailed, just help me to invite others to play along. The only thing I do ask in your post, is that you include the direct link to this blog candy offer, to make it easier for people to find. Once you have posted, come back here, click on Mr. Linky below and add your link for that post ONLY...not your entire blog.
Leave me a comment to let me know you're there...that's it!

If you are already a follower and do not have a blog
Just leave a comment and I will see that your entry is verified.

If you are not on my follower list
I would ask that you log on to become a 'public' follower
(no anonymous' please) and leave me a comment to let me know so I can welcome you personally.
From there, add your link to Mr. Linky below and then post my link on your blog if you indeed have one.

***IF ANYONE HAS TROUBLE WITH MR.LINKY...please email me
at paul.julie1102@sbcglobal.net and I will check it out
ONE ENTRY PER PERSON, please***
Open to all followers worldwide
Blog Candy giveaway ends at midnight CST on Friday, Sept 18th
Winner will be selected by random draw and announced on Saturday, Sept 19th

For those of you who are new or 'undecided' followers, here are just a few things coming up beginning in September:

I will be hosting 'play dates' which will be similar to challenges
sponsored by The Open Window


A new design team for The Open Window will be announced

Your blog may wind up as one of
'Julie Ranae's Wednesday Night Favs'


More blog candy giveaways, swaps and so much more!

For those of you who have been faithful friends and followers over the course of time...
I just want to say thank you....
THANK YOU
from the bottom of my heart!
The Open Window has not been open all that long...2 months to be exact, so you getting on board with me so quickly has been a real blessing. I look forward to many, many more days, weeks, months and yes, years with all of you!
