8 Wins in OWOH Giveaways

While I was sick, I was visiting and entering many of the OWOH giveaways. I enjoyed meeting the people, but really didn't expect to win. Well, I have won 8 of them. I am totally in shock, but so happy about it. Well, after being sick for so long, it was fun to find out that I was a winner 8 times! Ok, here is what I won:
1. A Jerusalem print from Robin whose blog is alled Around the Island . She lives in Israel.Funny enough, I attended the Jersusalem University for my third year of college, and I just loved the city, so this will mean a lot to me, as it was a wonderful experience.
2. Second, I won fancy designer paper for cardmaking,scrapbooking, etc...Now, as I am going into this hobby now, this was perfect. Thanks to The Frog Palace, I am the winner.
3. I also won a machine embroidery book, elephants, and cloth doll book from Jules who has a lovely blog called Adventures in Thread. How fun is that! I will definitely try to make one of the cloth dolls...I love dolls!
4. Also, I won this wonderful handmade mouse that is just so cute, and her name is Serenity. She is made out of cashmere.The blog is called Cobblestone Creations, and you really should visit to see what beautiful creations Laura does make.
5. Next, I won an angel book which is truly a work of art. It is a fake book that is a box, and it is just spectacular. Lisa is just so talented, and you must see her blog called Scherer Art.
6.Also, I won an autographed copy of Matt Hayes who obviously caught a huge fish. I used to fish with my dad, and boy did I appreciate that catch. The blog is called Disabled Angler. Boy, did that bring back many memories of me and my dad fishing.
7. Then, I won wonderful handmade cards from Tanya who has a blog called 3 Cats Creations.As I am getting into making cards, I was truly inspired by her creations.
8.Lastly, tonight, I found out from Monica of Giddy Greetings that I won the most incredible prize, which was the Xyron 5" Creative Station. It laminates, makes stickers, and magnets. Well, when I use my Cricut Expression and create the die cuts, I will be placing some of the smaller die cuts in there to create adhesive backings. That blew my mind, as it comes with the cartridge, inspiration sheets, and a manual.

I may have been sick since Christms with shingles, still need to gain my strength back, but am I not the luckiest Irish lassie ever? I was just tickled pink with it all!
I was so happy to be part of OWOH, and definitely will take part in it again next year.

Finally, my pink Cricut Expression bundle is arriving on Wednesday, so I will be busy for a while trying to figure out the machine, and then making some wonderful cards. My supplies have not arrived yet...the machine will be here before they arrive, but I will be practicing the cuts with cardstock and reading the manual....I want to know everything about it, as it has the capacity to do so much! I am also taking a course online starting March 3rd for the Cricut Expression from
My Creative Classroom. For 25 dollars, they will provide PDFS, slideshows, videos, forums, and contact with the teacher. There will be projects to complete, so it should be very helpful and fun.

I will take a pic of my Cricut Expression when it arrives. Off to watch tv!
