Spring Treasure Hunt Blog Hop and Blog Candy!!

Update May 20, 2013:

 And the winner of the LNS Treasure Hunt for Spring 2013 is.....Heather Hopson!!

And the winner of my blog candy for this Spring's blog hop is....Shawnie Bartron


Hello Friends.  I am happy to say that I have once again joined the LateNightStampers Blog Hop and Treasure Hunt - and if you haven't been part of this before, then I invite you take part now and join in the fun.

One lucky person is going to win a $150 shopping spree of Stampin' Up! goodies.   I love being a part of this so I am also going to award BLOG CANDY to one lucky person who leaves a comment on this post on my blog!!  Just think - you could win twice!

For details about how to participate in the Treasure Hunt, see the LateNightStampers Spring Treasure Hunt page listed at the top of my blog.

Here is my clue:  The Paper Piercing Tool


This tool makes holes but is also the absolute best way to pick up and accurately place rhinestones and pearls.  Trust me....You really want one.  Get the "point"?!?  (lol)


You have until May 12 to send me your list of 50 clues (include blog address) from the websites listed on the LateNightStampers Spring Treasure Hunt page.   One lucky person will win $150 worth of Stampin' Up products provided by Sherrill Graff.  It doesn't matter what Country you are in, or whether you are an SU! demonstrator or not.  Everyone is welcome to join in - so please take part in the fun !  

 Remember: 
  •  It's always nice to leave a quick comment on a blog if you have the time      :)
  • When you find the clue: write the BLOG NAME and THE CLUE down. For instance, my blog name is StampWithCynthia.blogspot.com, and my clue is the Paper Piercing Tool.  When you have located 50 clues, please send me your list (at millanclan@bell.net) and I will make sure your name is entered in the drawing.
Everyone who leaves a comment on this post will be entered in a draw to win this Blog Candy from me

The winner of the Happy Hello Simply Sent kit will be announced on May 13.
(Sorry - blog candy draw is only open to residents of Canada or the US).


Remember to keep checking back on the  blogs for the clues – even though our start date was March 1, some blogs may not have their clue posted yet and some blogs have not yet been added to the list.
Have fun and come back to visit me often - and feel free to leave a comment! 

God Bless and Happy Hunting!     ~Cynthia    <><

Enjoy your weekend and God Bless, ~Cynthia <><

    I loved the corsages you made and posted, they are beautiful! I also have a question about your mystery hostess party, how do the ladies sign up for spots? I have done these before but never gave away prizes to everyone because I can't afford it, how do you do yours?

    This looks like fun but I am so techno-impaired. Do you look for clues in the 31 blogs that are on your website or do you have to do a blog yourself? Looking through the websites is really enjoyable. Lots of great ideas and very different characteristics in the cards created by a single individual that differ from those created by another.

      Hi Olivia
      The blog hop/Treasure Hunt is a LOT of fun. Everyone is welcome to play along, you don't need to have a blog. Just look through the blogs that are listed, find the clues and collect your list (of clues+blog site). There are 31 blogs listed now but we will get up to 50+ blogs in just a short while. Once you've collected 50 clues, send them to me and I'll submit your name to the organizers to be entered to win the grand prize (of course, you are already entered to win my blog candy).
      I agree - all the bloggers have different styles and there are some very cool cards you will see over the next while! Have fun and enjoy the rest of your weekend. God Bless, ~Cynthia <><

      Thanks Shawnie - I would also be lost without mine. I discovered that the paper piercing tool really is the BEST THING for picking up and placing rhinestones and pearls. I used to leave the glue behind so often, and thus waste my bling. Now I never have that problem!
      Glad you stopped by to leave your comment. When I have my blog candy draw, I'll let you know if you were the winner! Have a wonderful weekend and God Bless, ~Cynthia <><

    I have very much enjoyed your blog. Unfortunately, I can't watch the videos of the cottages and the multi-coloured chalkboard. My daughter is using her laptop now, but I will be looking at them when she's done. ( I use my Kindle to access the internet most of the time.) I love learning new techniques!!! BTW, thanks for the clue. I will be visiting your blog again, thank you very much!!
