Here are a couple samples that I have created with the latest releases, Starlight Starbright and Wonderful Wishes. You can read more about them on the VERVE BLOG where I have posted today. You can see more samples of all the Verve sets in the VERVE GALLERY.
This Christmas, I would love to have all the pieces of this puzzle called life fall into place for me. I have been struggling for a long time and I finally see an end in sight, and the puzzle coming together. A little cryptic I know…………LOL Thanks for such a great chance to get some of the verve sets, and since I already own winter wishes, I would certainly love to get my hands on that starlight starbright set!!!
Wow Jen–over 220K in hits! Congratulations! I love your blog–such creative stuff you make. My wish this Christmas is that I have a healthy baby boy (c-section scheduled for 12/21), that I have a speedy recovery, and that my 7 year old DD still has wonderful Christmas. Every thing else would be icing on the cake.

Congrats on the hits. My wish for Christmas this year is a bind it all. I have been wanting this for the longest time. Not sure what I would do with it, but I just “gottahaveit”.
Thanks for the chance to get these stamps. I love the Verve stamp sets I have. They are great!!

Congrats Jen! That’s awesome but not surprising considering all your FAB ideas! My wish for Christmas is money to decorate the master bedroom. After 15 years of marriage, that’s the room I’ve never done - sad! Thanks for the opportunity - great stamps!
Congratulations on the hits and thanks for the chance at these great stamp sets! I just received my first 2 sets from Verve and I love them! On my list this year is just the hope that my children will be able to come for the holiday. They are in FL and TN and I miss them lots!
Great card samples! These sets look like fun, especially the Winter Wonder set!
This season, I am wishing for simplicity. Year-round I tend to be over-committed and running from one thing to the next, not even sleeping much because I’m too busy thinking about things that need to get done the next day (and beyond!). My personal committment this advent is to slow down and embrace simplicity of thought and action. If you feel compelled to say a prayer or two for my success in this, feel free. This is bound to be quite the challenge!
What about you, what are you wishing for?
Beautiful set and wonderful cards, Jen! Okay, I’ll go with World Peace . . . and an end to the war, how’s that?!! Happy Holidays to you!
Congrats on all the hits! I love your site. Thanks for the chance to win the Verve stamps.
For Christmas, I would like my husband to help me transform our basement guest room into a stamp/scrap room.
Wow, don’t know if I will ever live long enought to reach that number that is fanstatic. I have a pretty simple wish list, ScorPal. Here is a link to my card for your sketch.

Thanks for the offering of such great blog candy.
Wow, cool sets. Congrats on your hits, Jen. I love checking out your blog. Hm, my wish…a brand new, shiny, red DYSON vacuum. I would love one. The stinky hoover I have now barely picks up Cheerios!
I already know what I am getting for Christmas this year. DH had me pick out a ring. The hard part will be waiting til Christmas to receive it.
Congratulations on the success of your blog. I love reading it every day!!!
Awesome. Those sets are so beautiful and your ideas so inspirational! I haven’t thought about wishes for me yet (of course, anything stamping is always wonderful), been busy thinking of ideas for the kids and relatives. Thank you!
Wow, congrats on your hits! And thanks for the candy chance, hope I win…
My wish… well material wise, more cashola to support my stamping/crafting habit. I am also asking Santa for a pair of ice skate. Non-material wish, be inspired to workout more and better my health. Selfish, I know, but hey…
Wow…I love both of these stamping sets! I am wishing for an awesome piece of jewelry…a diamond ring would work for me, but really just spending the holidays with my family is what would make me content. Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Pat
Congrats on the his! Great blog…you deserve it! My wish for Chirstmas would be to have a nice stamp space of my own that is all organized for me. lol Neeeever gona happen but a girl can dream right?
Keep up the great blog!
~Lana B.~
I am wishing for $250 to pay off my deposit for the stampin cruise
After that, I wish for continued health and happiness for my family! Happy Christmas to you!! Lisa K
Love your cute cards… You always have such great stuff on your blog! I would love for Santa to bring me some Copic markers!! Please Santa I’ve been Sort of Good…
I wish that my husband’s work would make a decision on his possible promotion so I’ll know whether or not we’ll be moving next year! And I wish that everybody gets what they most want for Christmas! Thanks! Lisa
I really want a new sewing machine. Mine keeps breaking so I have to waste all my limited crafty time troubleshooting it.
Thanks for the contest and Happy Holidays!
My wish is for the continuing health of my aging parents and the rest of my family.
Congrats! I wish that Santa would put a ton of scrapbooking supplies under the tree! That would be great to open a bunch of presents and they are all scrapbooking/card making stuff. Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow, so many hits, I can’t even fathom it! And the stamps - I love some snowflakes, so I could definitely put Winter Wonder to use (hey I love all stamps, who am I kidding?).
As for Christmas, I am wishing that DH finds a job, that my little cousin returns home safely from Iraq in time for her wedding next summer, and that 2008 will be the year I get published. Just once, thats all I’m askin’ for
I am hoping for the new cricut machine and the nestabilities to be under the tree for me on Christmas Morning. I sure would love to add some Verve! These are beautiful sets and I love all of the samples I have seen. XO, Mimi
My Christmas wish has already come true… a new house!
Congrats on all your hits!
Cindy Keery
I’ve discovered that since I’ve had kids, it is TRULY so much more fun to watch them have their Christmas wishes come true! So… my wish is that they will remember the true meaning of Christmas and be able to create some great memories.
Congrats on the hits! My wish is for the war to end and for the nasty political commercials/ not to start until July.
WOW…congrats on that huge # of hits!! My wish this holiday season would be for my MIL to be cancer free. World peace would be nice too :). Thanks for the chance at these FABULOUS sets!!
Congrats! I love your blog! I am wishing for more nestabilities. I just love them!
Great Candy!!!
What do I want for Christmas? Hmmmmmm, dang good question. How about an entire set of Copics that everyone keeps talking about and I’m not sure I need LOL! Seriously, I’d love to find some Nestabilities under my tree….
Congrats on the big hits milestone! I read your blog every day. Love it.
I am wishing for a SU! gift certficate and the patience to save it until SAB.
Congrats on all your hits! I love your blog and your fabulous ideas. I’m wishing for all our troops to come home safely from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Ummm I have to name just one thing? Well, I would really like some cabinets and a counter top for my craft room!! One of the dd’s got married this summer and I have taken over the room, but would love a little more organized, professional look and space. Oh yeah, and world peace too!! lol
What am I wishing for? Actually these stamp sets are on my list. Funny huh? I also want a sign for my bedroom that says “Always Kiss Me Goodnight”. For some reason I have been slow on the VERVE bandwagon but I am catching up. I’d LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win these.
Thanks for te offer!!
I love your cards and tag, Jen! And I’d love to have these two sets!!! Congrats on hitting 220,000! I’m wishing for more time to stamp! But if it has to be a gift, I’m hoping for a scor-pal!
Conratulations on your hits! I love reading your blog. My wish for Christmas is a dog. I have wanted one for so long, now I just have to convince my husband how great of an idea it is!!
My wish for Christmas is for my 3 kids to have a happy day and get everything they want. I will try my best to supply it, but I can’t guarantee it. Some of the things they want are way out there!
Congrats! I’m on your feedblitz list and love to see what new things you are doing. Thanks for the inspiration! I’m wishing for a healthy new grandson, due in late January. I’m also wishing for more time to stamp. Are these two things compatible? Hmmmm…
Hi Jen!
Those are really pretty cards, chic and simple.
What I want for Christmas……I hope to get a Digital Frame….a big one with a nice frame around it. And I want a nice laptop carrier. I hope Santa brings me both!
I also hope that the upcoming year will be a better one for us. We just had two (too many) tragic events in our family these past few months. One being the loss of my niece’s husband and the other was my brother-in-laws brother who was burned over 70% of his body in an explosion.
Thanks and have a great day! I love reading your blog it is so crisp and clean!
Congrats on 220,000 hits! That is awesome.
My wish for Christmas is to go south for the winter. And if I can’t go south, I want to hybernate LOL
Hugs,
Colleen
I hope Santa brings me Microsoft Office for my laptop. I’ve been really good this year, Santa! Thanks in advance!!
Hmmm….is Santa going to be reading this??
I’d really like some new cabinets for my craft room, but that’s a little large. I’ve had my eye on an All Clad frying pan (I know, I know…boring) that I’d really like. A certificate for a massage or facial would be nice, too!
What’s on my list….a day to myself and everything craft related….definitely Verve stamps!!!
Thanks for the goodies!
Cute sets and congrats on the hits!! Well, my BIGGEST wish this holiday season??? SLEEP!!! Just some good ol’ rest and time with the fam. . .no work, no laundry, no housecleaning (hence going to my brother’s house for Christmas!), no nothing. . .and the cherry on top of that grand ol’ wish?? Someone else to change my kidlets diapers for a day or two.
Merry Christmas!
Congrats on your hits, how exciting!!!!
I am wishing for lots more crafts/stamping supplies. My husband says I could open a store, but I think we can never have enough stuff, lol!!!!
Thanks for a chance to win!!
Tanya
Thanks for the chance to win! My Christmas wish for this year is kind of selfish…but I WISH FOR MORE TIME TO STAMP!!! This year has been extremely busy for me with school, and kids, and husband! I yearn for some time to get creative!!!
Congrats….a wonderful blog. I check each new post and have bookmarked many of them.
I already have had my Christmas wish granted. My 3 year old Granddaughter is coming for the holidays. Gramma can hardly wait!
Great and generous blog candy! I love Verve images!
What I wish for Christmas, is to be able to visit my Dad. We live 2000 miles away from family and are going home for the first Christmas in four years. My Dad is very ill, and I want to see him one last time.
Wow Jen! Then again, you’re such a great source of inspiration that I’m sure that 500k is just around the corner!
What I’m wishing for this Christmas is a job! I have a job now, but I’m looking for one in the IT field that goes along with my degree of Web Development. I’ve got a call into a recruiter, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
Tangible items? That Sew Mini that you rave about would be good to find under the tree on Christmas morning.
Oh..wait…one most important thing…about 4 more hours in a day where I can spend being creative.
I’ve really been lax in that department lately.
congrats!! =) Hmm, what I am wishing for is a new digital camera! I need a new one to take good pics of my cards! lol! I really enjoy reading your blog, keep up the great work!! =)
Is it bad to say sleep? Seriously, this has to be the year I quit my job and just work on the SAHM job…it’s challenging in its own right! Congrats on the hits…TFS!
I can totally believe that you’ve hit 220K hits - your blog rocks!
The big ticket item on my X-mas wishlist this year is a new iPod Nano - they are so stinkin’ cute!
Woo hoo! Count me in, please!
My Christmas wish this year is that it just goes relatively smoothly, with no hurt feelings. My mom isn’t too happy that DBF and I are spending Christmas Day with his family, so I’m hoping she understands why, and that we can have a fun time as a family on Christmas Eve.
I just wish for my DH to get a job. He got laid off via a company reduction in staff back in June and has had no luck finding anything. Thanks for the blog candy! Judy H.
Congrats on the hits and thanks for this opportunity. I am beginning to get into stamping and this would just be awesome to have. I have been wanting to get some clear stamps to get started with.
My wish, peace for me and family, stress -free holiday and happiness.
You have a wonderful blog. I’m wishing for something special, a good resolution to a problem.
Claudia
scfranson@charter.net
Wow, I’m going to have to second Judy’s wish for a job for my husband. He also was recently laid off, and is looking, so that would be a big answer to prayer. (And if possible, some more Copic markers from Santa:))
Great giveaways! Congrats on all the hits - I am many of those!! Love your blog and thanks for all the inspiration (and enabling!). My wish for Christmas is just to have a relaxing, fun time with my family and my mom who is flying in for the holidays.
Wow! 220K! Congrats! I’m hoping Santa can FIND a Brown Zune and put it under MY tree! I must be the only person in the world who wants it because of the color! LOL
Congratulations on 220K hits…WOW! I just love your blog. My Christmas wish??? I won’t find out till after the new years but both my children auditioned for the all state band in CA and I want so badly for them to get in because they have worked so hard!
Jen,
I need someone to run my errands and keep all my stuff organized so I can work and be with the kids and take care of things around the house without feeling like I run around like a chicken with its head cut off.
I love your blog and this is great blog candy!!!!! I don’t have a lot of big wishes because in general, life is good. One thing I do wish for is a wife
Wow, 220K!!! That’s fantastic–congrats!
As far as a Christmas wish, the ‘me me me’ part really would like Copics. But really, I just want a peaceful, relaxing holiday and a healthy delivery of my baby sister’s first baby (due around the first of the year).
Congrats on your milestone!!!
I just started making cards but have digital (and paper) scrapped for many years… what I would love for christmas is a wacom tablet to be able to draw smooth doodles… or maybe an electric chainsaw to cut branches for my only source of heat… a wood stove. A tree fell last year in a major storm, the landlords gave the tree to someone else, AFTER MONTHS of it sitting there, as soon as I told them that I had someone to FINALLY cut it up… and they left all these pretty much useless branches but if I had that chain saw they wouldn’t be useless anymore!!!!
First off Congrats!!! As for a Christmas wish, I think I would like more crafting supplies since I am trying to redo my craft room to get a little more organized. Hopefully:) I wish everyone a very happy Holiday Season.
Congrats on your hits!! I’m wishing for an end to my kids fighting with each other. I love your blog and the candy is SO desirable!!
Oh! Pick me! I would love to win either of these sets! I asked for a Zutter Bind It All and any of the new cuttlebug embossing folders!
Wow - Congratulations! I don’t know how you all keep a blog and have time to design cards and keep a business going!! and many of you have little ones at home! My wish for this year is my BH gets my craft room finished by the summer! It’s going to be so nice! and I always wish for good health for our family.
Well this would be great. I have been wanting to try these stamps. I am wishing for a canon large format printer so I can print out 12×12 digital scrapbook pages.
Wow Jen…congratulations on 220,000 hits! Love getting your blog in my inbox every morning…so much inspiration. What I would like for Christmas is Nestabilites! I have been influenced by all the cool cards I see, and now my Coluzzle and corner rounder just won’t cut it LOL! Congrats again, and many more!
Congratulations! Very exciting!
Love these stamps and what you have done with them.
My Christmas Wish list so far is:
Mammoth Crocs!
and a splash guard for my Kitchen Aid Mixer
Congrats on the hits! That’s wonderful. Okay….what do I want for Christmas…well this year I want to make my son’s friend Travis a little happier. Last week a fire burned his house and his mother didn’t make it out. So this year its all about him and his family.
congratulations on your hits! you do such a fabulous job on your blog, and i love to visit daily.
on my wish list… a shopping spree at papertrey inc.
Wow, congrats on all the hits. Love your blog! My wish is that my mother have a better year in 2008. Nothing earth shattering, just an adjustment (and at 83 that ain’t easy).
Congrats on 220K. Wow I love these stamps and they are 2 of the sets on my wishlist! It would be AWESOME if I could win your sweet celebration candy and mark them off! You ROCK and your Blog ROCK TOO!
Thanks for a chance.
cmeyers@hughes.net
It’s no wonder why you have so many hits…your creations are beautiful!!! On my wishlist are cartidges for my Cricut, Bella stamps, Gina K stamps, and of course, Verve stamps!!
Congrats on the 220K hits on your blog! This Christmas I am not really wanting anything other than family time together enjoying one another’s company. We are spoiling the kids of course, and I enjoy Christmas through watching them. We have a third on the way so I am very introspective and not really needing anything.
Jen
I want nestabilities any or all of the sets I’d like a bind it all, new living room furniture ,but I’ll probably end up with a movie instead. I can dream.
Congratulations! My DH won’t buy me stamping or scrapbooking supplies, so diamonds are on my wishlist!
Dear Santa…honest, i’ve been good this year!! I may have not always gotten the laundry or dishes done when i needed, cause i spent the most FABulous time reading great blogs and stamping the day away. I would really like the basement to be finished, so that the kids could move their rooms downstairs and leave me with a stamp room — i’m not being selfish, just sharing the joy of all of us having a space to call their own !
Congrats on all hits, and thanks for the chance to win
Miss America wish? LOL! That cracked me up, okay if you insist…here’s my Miss America wish….to win the lottery! Really I would just like to be able to bring my hubby back to see his family. I don’t think we’ll do it until summer, but it’d be nice to go home for Christmas!
I’d love to try these stamps, I already have some cool ideas for them! Great candy!
Congratulations on all your hits!!! This Christmas I am wishing for good health for my honey and also a Cuttlebug !!
Congrats on your big milestone! My wish is that when my mom has surgery in the next week or so, that the docs find that the cancer is well contained and they were able to remove it all.
I wish for peace and harmony for everyone.
Congrats on the hits. Anyone would be lucky to win these great sets!
NancyS (momsnack)
Congratulations on your 220! HHHmmmmm I am wishing for a Cricut for Christmas! But I will settle for the bug! Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful candy!
Congrats on so many hits! I love visiting your blog and viewing your creations. Thanks for sharing!
This year, I am hoping for the biggest set of Prismacolor pencils that dh can find! Oh, and my probably-not-going-to-happen wish is that my ds grows out of his food allergies!
I love your blog! Congrats on all the hits! You inspire me whenever I need it, especially with your sketches. One of these days I will upload them to show. Verve stamps are on my list to purchase, but I would rather win them! (wink, wink)
My wish would be that our business makes it thru the holiday season and we stay afloat financially another year, and that we get to be together with family for the first time in a awhile.
My wish this year is that my daughter and husband remain healthy!
I love your blog and love your sketch challenges! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
My Christmas wish—happiness for my two teenage boys. They’ve had a rough couple of years, and have just recently started to act alot more relaxed and happy–and they have friends! A major improvement……so I wish for continued growth and happiness for S and T.
Love your blog, thanks for sharing
Congrats on so many hits WOW!!! Ive been Naughty sometimes but HEY who asnt right ????/ LOL my biggest wish would be good HEALTH for everyone I care about …..!!!
Congratulations on so many hits! I check your blog daily and love your inspiration! On my wish list this year are the nestabilities. I think they would make a great addition to my card and scrappin’ tools!
Hmmm. . . I’d have to say that these stamps are somewhere near the top of my list, for today at least!
Congrats on the milestone. Thanks for your amazing inspiration.
I’m pregnant with our first baby & my stamp room will be converted into the baby’s room (ok, except for a little corner for me to play until baby starts getting mobile). So I am asking for organization stuff for my craft supplies (ikea cabinet, some baskets, etc.) I am really loving these unmounted sets since they take up so much less room! TFS!
I’m not surprised you hit 220K! Your samples are wonderful. My wish is that my nephew to come home from Iraq soon, no politcal ads on TV and for more people to just slow down and smile at one another. Under the tree I’m wishing for stamping stuff!!!
Cool candy! Congrats on the hits — not surprised as you are on my “daily check list” thanks for the great ideas!
My wish — broadly I am wishing for the economy to take a turn for the better — especially housing — I have 2 friends who depend on this to raise their families and right now things are tough. Materialisticlly I wished for an ipod and a Cricut or Cuttlebug. Any or all would be great!
Heather
Congrats on the hits! I would love some stamps from Inque!
Crystal
Awesome candy!
My wish is a big one - I wish that my husband would change his mind about me having to go back into the work force in January!
Congrats on the hits!
Holy cow batman!!! What great sets to offer. Either one would be well loved.
I already bought my Christmas gift (a laptop) so besides World Peace and gas to go back below $2 a gallon…I’d love Adobe Print Shop or the new software for my Cricut.
I am wishing for some Nestability dies. Just one set, my hubby needs to get on the ball and order them! COngratulations on your milestone - I stop in often to check on your projects!
You do such a fantastic job on your cards! Constantly inspiring. Thank you!
My wish for this season, that I get my cards done. No, not really. This is my first Christmas season with my boyfriend, and my wish is that we just enjoy it, and not let the typical stress of the holidays wear on our relationship.
Thanks!
Congrats on the # of hits! WOW!!
Love your creations!
My wish ~ anything stamping! If I had to narrow it down, I just got a CB (early Christmas) so more CB stuff!!
I dont want anything for the most part but getting the new dog to listen and know I am his master would be good. I also would like 24 hours without any pain (I have fibromyalgia now for 20 years)—
so not stuff you can buy but much appreciated.
Congrats! yummy candy! My biggest wish this year is for our christmas tree to survive with my baby who is newly moving around! I don’t think I have a chance! No glass ornaments this year!
Congrats!!!! This is so exciting
I am wishing for my crafts supplies and a Guitar. It is gonna be so much fun ,LOL!!!
JoAnna
CONGRATS on your blog success! My wish for Christmas is for a copic airbrush. I would also like a camera & to win one of these Verve sets!!
You are awesome Jen!
This Christmas my wish is for everyone to have a happy and healthy and safe holiday and my tangible wish is for a Scor Pal or a corvette (whichever Santa can manage!)
Hugs!
Cammie
Congrats on the 220K + hits….BIG success! I can see why…these samples you posted for the stamps giveaway are absolutely gorgeous… As I was looking at the stamps and reading I really admired the sets and when I scrolled down far enough to catch a glimpse of the cards, I was in LOVE….these are beautiful. Thanks for your generousity and the chance…. Happy Holidays!
I really am wishing for a Cricut—not a need, only a want.
I submitted earlier but I forgot to tell you what I wished for…..I wish that my family will be together for Christmas…two of my four have flown the coop already so having a xmas where we are all together is getting more and more difficult…..
That’s about it…not Ms. America wishes but close I suppose… 
Thanks again for the chance.
My Christmas wish is to get a Cricut for Christmas! I’ve been wanting one since the first time I used a friend’s at a crop and I was IN LOVE! Maybe Santa will be good to me this year! Thanks for the chance to win! I love both of those sets!
Well…at the risk of sounding hokey, I would just like my three daughters (two are away at college) and my DH and I to have a wonderful, relaxed and loving Christmas holiday….no rushing, no fussing…I just want to enjoy the season with the people I love best!
Now, if I can’t have that (LOL), I would like to attend CKU in Chicago in March! I am a big fan of Tim Holtz and Becky Higgins and I hear they are both going to be there….sigh….
Congrats!!! Those are BEAUTIFUL sets to be giving away! Thank you for your generosity!
Does the wish have to be realistic?? Hee hee…maybe I’ll do one of each, LOL
Unrealistic: A stamping room to call my own!! (I can dream!!)
Possibly Realistic: A calm, peaceful Christmas…one which I can reflect on the true meaning, teach my children about it, and enjoy the “fun” stuff with them, such as Christmas trees & lights…maybe dare to make cut-outs with my 3.5 yr. old!!…I wish…for a peaceful Christmas full of happy memories!
Congrats on being a celeb in the online crafting world.
My wish is to see the class I am subbing get a good qualified sub and get me the heck out of there!!!
Also selfishly for some peace and quiet and relaxing times!!!
Congrats on the hits, Jen! And now, exactly HOW am I supposed to make it to Friday with my fingers crossed, I ask you?!
My Christmas wish is for peace on earth, good will toward all … and gift cards for stamping stores, ‘natch!
My card’s at http://sueblondin.blogspot.com/2007/11/he-skates-she-skates.html - yet another Christmas card.
Wish you well. later, alligator!
- SueB of sueblondin.blogspot.com
Wow… this is hard. I really don’t want anything for myself. I would just like to see my DS and DIL sell their house so they can move closer and that all the hatred and fighting that is going on in the world would stop. These are awesome stamps and I sure hope I am the lucky one. Thank you for offering the blog candy! On congrats on your blog hits… to be that popular to have that many!!!
Those cards are adorable. Thanks for the chance at such a great giveaway. And congrats on your hits! Way to go
My wish this Christmas season is simple, but huge — I would LOVE for my 7-month-old to sleep through the night. (Even once would be good!) And if that’s not gonna happen (sigh [or yawn?]), I would really like to register for one of Donna Downey’s classes at the ScrapBowl ‘08 in Virginia.
WOW Jen!!! What an impressive number 220K, you go girl!!! I luv these stamp sets & would luv to win one!!! Thanks so much for the chance, your awesome!!!
I am hoping for some Prismacolor pencils for Christmas! That is quite a feat — hitting 220K hits!! Congratulations !
I just want to say I love your blog! And your art work is great!. My wish for Christmas is………I am hoping my husband business doesn’t close down and they can at least last the winter. Other wise I wish all the best for my good friends and family. Merry Christmas to all!
Congrats on 220K!! Your blog is great!!! My wish for Christmas is more stuff
More stamps, more paper, more TIME!
I wish for an opportunity to spend time with my dh and at home stamping without having to “do” other things!
Congrats on your 220K milestone!
You are 1 of my favorite blogsites for a daily dose of inspiration!
Thank you for the chance to win this giveaway.
My Christmas Wish……..World Peace, Happiness……. and unlimited spending for craft supplies.
Well, I will throw my hat into this contest!! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I feel like royalty has just left the building! I just love your clean
style so much!!
My Christmas wish is for a new North Face Apex Bionic Jacket!!
And I wouldn’t mind a new ’star light starbright’ set also under the tree!
I enjoy your site and lovely cards! Thanks for sharing your daughter too! I am wishing for health and happiness for my family!
Wow Jen!! What a generous gift!! What’s on my list? hhhmmm I would have to say just a little “Household Peace” - maybe a nice day of quiet for Mommy!
But then my MIL keeps saying someday I’ll miss all this craziness! Thanks for the chance to win!
Great Candy! I so covet those snowflakes. Can I make that my wish? Really, I just want a happy, peaceful drama-free family holiday! Oh and if Santa is listening a Kitchenaid Artisan Stand Mixer in RED!
Wow! THese stamp sets are fabulous! What great Candy…
My Christmas wish is to have all of my family together and have a fabulous time! As kids get older and go their own ways and have girlfriends and boyfriends and jobs, its harder and harder to plan a day for everyone to get together! This year we may just pull it off!!!!
Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous set! For Christmas this year, I wished for some Nestabilities!
I recently discovered Verve Visual stamps, and I really like them!! Just got my first order! So, thank you for the wonderful stamps & keep them coming! So now, what do I want for Christmas, besides tons and tons of stamping stuff?!? I want my hubby to travel less and work a little less and be home more! I want to spend as much “quality” time as possible with my 2 boys (I say quality, because me cooking dinner while they are glued to the computer doesn’t count). And I want my daughter to have an amazing Sr. year in High School filled with a balance of too much fun, while learning life lessons (the easy way would be great!). I want my Grandma’s growing relationship with my kids to keep growing!! And I want to find an amazing Women’s Bible Study group! I think that about covers it for now…TMI? Sorry. Hope you have a great holiday and all your wishes and dreams come true!!
Happy stamping!!
Tangii
I forgot to link this card that I made for last week’s SFYTT challenge. Thanks for the bonus chance!

I am wishing for the rest of the nestabilities but I don’t think I will get them so I hope I get some new sazzy clothes. Congrats on 220K!
Wow these are fabulous sets! I actually got the Starlight Starbright set a week or so ago….my first Verve Visual set and I LOVE them!!! So generous of you to give them away!
I posted mine on SCS yesterday!
This Christmas/Holiday Season I am wishing for good health for my family. My daughter, Chloe, has been having some heart issues and we aren’t quite sure what is causing her such discomfort. We are hoping to get into the Pediatric Cardiologist SOON!
Thanks for the great sketches you do each week…I look forward to doing them

Woo Hoo! Congratulations on the hits…so deserved! Thanks for the inspiration. My fantasy gift is copic markers…but, I’ll likely not get them this Christmas…my more reasonable wish list item is a Scor-pal. Hmmm…all the gatefold cards that await me ;o).
Hi Jen!
Congratulations on 220K…good grief, that’s a lot!!!
Thank you for offering a chance to win the new Verve…they are so cool
What I would like for Christmas is for all of my family to be together. There are only 4 of us left, but my brother & sister live out of state. It is a rare occasion that we are all together.
Congratulations on so many hits! I’ve asked for a new winter coat and some new jammies from Land’s End. But a wish that I won’t have granted is a cure to all diseases…Cancer, MS, Cystic Fibrosis, etc., Currently my niece is in the hospital receiving chemo for Leukemia. She was just diagnosed last week. I want her to be home for Christmas with her family.

Congratulations on your blog’s success! I know I love being inspired by you! I would love to get a set or 2 or the nestabilities and, of course, more stamps and accessories. Happy Holiday season to you!
Congrat on so many hits! I wish for inner peace in my life. Understanding that certain things happen for a reason. Recently my father passed away and having difficulty finding inner peace.
Wow…what awesome candy!! I would have to say some Hanna stamps are at the top of my list. :0)
The only thing I can think of is a healthy baby boy for my oldest sister (she finds out the gender on Dec 27th)
Here is a link to my SFYTT entry (and it’s also on my blog)

I love your blog - congratulations on your milestone! I don’t have either set & would be thrilled to win one! Thanks for the fun sketch, I got a Christmas card done now!!
Congrats on the many hits to your blog~I get so much inspiration from your wonderful clean style. I wish I had something intelligent to wish for such a world peace, but frankly what I really wish for this holiday season is a Bind It All! LOL!!
What an amazing hit count! I’m just hoping to get to 50,000 soon! My Christmas wish is…to have a low key, not stressful day! :o)
Congrats!
Congrats on all the blog hits! I really don’t have much on my wish list…except a “Great ‘08″. Love the Verve stamps and coincidentally I was heading over to link to the card I finished today using your SFYTT.

My wish for Christmas is some time to slow down, enjoy life, and be creative. I moved into my new house three weeks ago and got married this last weekend so the last few weeks have left little time to create anything. I’m working on some special projects for some fund raisers at the school I work at.
Congrats. I would love to get some more nestabilities, copics, and scor-pal.
Your creations are so awesome! I am delighted that the Verve stamps are red rubber. I have such a hard time stamping with the clear stamps. I would love to have a Cricut or a Wishblade but I think I will settle for a few lovely Copic markers so I can see what all the fuss is about with them.
Hugs, Karen Haynes
Congrats on the hits!!!
Honestly, I am wishing for world peace, but besides that, I’m wishing for a happy and peaceful celebration with my family and friends. Oh, and a new I-pod would be nice, too!
congrats on so many blog hits!! I am wishing for a happy and healthy holiday!
What a cute set! Thanks so much the inspiration, your cards are always great!
What I want most for Christmas is to survive my Mother in Law’s visit and for us to get along most of the time (Whew!) LOL. Plus I desperately need a new cell phone. Thanks for the chance to win those nice stamps.

My wish would be for a safe & happy holiday for everyone that has posted on your blog. I just want to spend my Christmas enjoying my grandkids and reflecting on the birth of my Savior. That brings me much more joy than a pile of presents. Oh…I also wish that everyone that I buy a gift for will love it:) Especially my husband - he’s hard to please:)
Hi,

Shivani
Wishing for health, wisdom and time to enjoy both. Love your blog and your ideas!
Congrats on the hits.. maybe I’ll have that many on my blog one day. What I would really love for Christmas would to have my own house (we rent) but that is a really big wish that I doubt will come true for a while. Realistic wish…. that my kids would stop doing the sibling fighting for a week!!! lol Okay so that isn’t a realistic wish either!! I just can’t win.
Wow, I love these sets and they are not part of my growing collections. What I want for Christmas?? To be with family and friends and happiness and good health for all. Ok, ok….a little bling wouldn’t hurt too! I love jewelry. Thanks for sharing!
Pattie
Congrats!
I would love to receive acrylic albums and pages to play with but $$ will have to suffice since my family has no clue what I’m talking about.
Congratulations on the hits!!! I love your site - enjoy seeing your inspiration every morning. The only thing on my Christmas list is good health for my family and my youngest daughter auditioned for a dance position in college and hoping that she makes it. Happy Holidays!!!
Congratulations on so many hits… goes to show what a wonderful inspiration you are to other people.
My wish this is year is that children around the world do not go hungry or cold.
I am wishing my daughter’s tuition would be paid. Congradulations on all the hits!
Congrats on all the hits!!!!! No surprise, though — your blog is terrific! What awesome giveaways — both sets are on my “wish list”!! Also on my wish list are Copics!!
Congratulations and thank you for all of your inspiration and the time you take out of your busy life to share with us all:)
My wish for this holiday season is to take time out of our busy schedules and slow down and enjoy one another’s company and capture the true meaning of the season.
I’m not surprised that you’ve had so many hits! You’re so talented. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. I’m hoping to relax this Christmas season and enjoy it more. It can get so hectic, so I’m hoping to just enjoy having my boys home and being able to cook for them.
Congrats! I would love to have good quality time visiting with family and friends.
Oooohhh…. Well, besides copics and nestabilities, I would love some Verve Visual stamps!!!!
I love your blog, thanks for the inspiration!
I want some Nestabilities for Christmas this year, and stamps, copics, etc…
I hope Santa brings them!

Congratulations on all those hits! I’m having so much fun buying for the rest of the family that I haven’t put much thought to what I want this year. I think I want more retreats (for scrapbooking and quilting). I was also hoping to see a Green Bay Packers game but those are getting a bit expensive. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies. Sandra
Now I am wishing for Verve Visual Stamps, but other than that a puppy, since we just had to put our dog of 13 years down a few months ago. Thanks for the great give away. Happy Holidays
Your talent is what draws me back over and over again! OF COURSE you’re getting a lot of hits! Thanks for the blog candy opp. Let’s see… for Christmas I would like STORAGE! My craft space is pathetic - I need paper storage, embellishment storage, ribbon storage, you get the picture.
I did not see where to make a comment so I just thought I would e-mail you.
I wish for good health and a sound mind, I have been fighting a illness for the last 5 years, in that time I lost my Mother, My Aunt who was like my second Mom and my Step Mother which does not help the matter, we all know what stress can do to the body but I have a rare muscle disorder and I have to deal with it everyday.I just wished one day with out the pain , stiffness. I have no kids just pets to keep me company now besides work. I have a card room which is my sanctuary. I not only wish this for myself but others who also suffer from pain everyday but still get up and go to work and try to do what everybody else does but are limited. I pray and wish this for the whole world peace love and happiness.
Congratulations.. This milestone is definately a sign of what an inspiration you (and sometimes Toni… LOL) are..
My wish list this year is an Ipod (a little birdie told me this is hidden in our den..).. and a bind it all.. I can’t wait to make albumn and books..
My Christmas wish is to get all my stamping supplies transported to our new house. A Christmas miracle would be to be able to find what I need. I thought of a great gift for dh to buy me — a comfortable, adjustable crafting chair. May just buy it myself and save him the trouble.
Wow - congrats on all those hits! I’m wishing for a Scor-pal for Christmas
Thanks for the chance to win some awesome stamps.
Teresa
WOW Congrats on all the hits! Your work speaks for itself! I didn’t have time to do your sketch yet this week….I have in-laws visiting so I can only enter once. Thanks for the chance and the inspiration every day! {SMILES}
Congrat on all of those hits on your site!!!! You do such wonderful work!! My wish this year is for a new table for my stamp room!! The table is the last item that I need in my new space!! Have a blessed day!!
Congrats on reaching more than 220 k hits. Wonderful accomplishment! I am hoping for a complete set of Copic markers…Well I can dream!!
Great job on all the hits! For Christmas this year, I want time to just slow down for a couple days. I get to see my brother, whom I haven’t seen all year, and I just want time to go sloooowwww. Thanks for the fun!
I wish for good health for my family. My mother is ill with cancer so I am very sensitive to the sorrow I see around me due to health problems. I treasure good health more than anything.
Wow! Those cards are gorgeous! This year I’m hoping to get a new camera….but if I don’t, that’ll be o.k. What I really hope is that my family has a healthy holiday and 2008! That’s the best thing I could get. I know it sounds hokey…but that’s what I’m wishin’ for.
Congrats on the 200,000 hits. Just love your style and enjoy reading your blog and seeing all the wonderful things you create. Fun to see pics of your darling little girl too - brings back memories of when my kids were that young
My wish for Christmas would be that many more people in the world would know the true meaning of Christmas and be able to celebrate Christ’s birth and embrace God’s gift to mankind. My fairytale wish - an endless budget for stamps and stamping accessories 
Hi Jen
Great blog…great giveaway !! What I want most is one of the nestabilities sets. Any other stamping related stuff would be fun too. I also would like to see this be THE YEAR it all comes together for my family. I just started working so I can help with the bills….so I hope it all falls into place for us.
Thanks for a chance to win.
JoAnn
I’m wishing mostly for a nice holiday where we can come out the other end without a big debt to pay off afterwards!
I’ve done your sketch…it was fun! Card on my blog:

One of the most precious gifts to give to someone is undivided time and that is what I wish for. Time to spend with my elderly parents, time with my husband and kids, even time with my pets. It is so difficult to obtain this time of year but yet so important…and these Verve stamps would be sweet!!
Of course I would
