Well, in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, (which I am pretty sure they don’t celebrate here) I have bee feeling bad that I forgot to put a little green food coloring in the pancakes this morning.. when I was little, we’d wake up to green milk, have green pancakes, and even green jell-o! but I did wear a green shirt today, does that count for anything!?
Well, in celebration of this LUCKY day! i have a couple LUCKY things to share!
First… check out this: do you want a FUN ‘lucky’ background (just like this one I am sporting)… for a few days? It’s available here to the first 100 people to download it… also, try just printing it out.. makes a super cute ‘lucky you’ card. It’s a fun time to tell people how LUCKY you feel to have them in your life, and would even be a fun one to have on a scrapbook page. I even created a couple ‘lucky’ brushes that are available today ONLY free to the first 100 downloads… you can see them here too! (it’s what I used for my blog banner and you can see them on my background as well… would be fun to have around as well! 3 handwritten words, and a ‘lucky’ definition! (i also used these frames for my blog banner)
EDITED: *** that was FAST, the 100 downloads are GONE! if you still want the LUCKY background you can purchase it here for .99$! and these cute brushes can be purchased here:
We are getting ready to release some new content in addition to this and this that are new at House of 3. Mostly we are all working on some FUN for Easter! We are planning to help you be all ready for an awesome Easter celebration…before the ‘day before’. (typical of me).
One of the GOOD things about moving back home is that quite frankly, my scrapbook ‘stash’ is SLIM pickin’s. I mean, it’s bad. Today I was digging through my scrap drawer to try to find some fuchsia cardstock! And I had NO LUCK! And just a good ‘lime’ colored cardstock… or ANY paper… monochromatic… ? NOTHING! Man, (grrrr). Ok, so that is good news! And I had to postpone my shipment of my NEW ‘heidi swapp’ CHA goodies… which means, that I only have 2 sheets of each paper, and a couple meager chipboard invisibles and I do have the stamps. But I tell you what.. I am LOW. I am having to get REALLY creative. (what can you do w/ white cardstock! LOL).
ANYWAY, I thought that I’d pick a few LUCKY winners today… I have put together a couple ‘prize’ packages.. and if you are a winner, it might mean that you will get your goodies to play with before I do!! (yikes).
Today I am giving 5 LUCKY winners:
The ENTIRE invisibles collection:
2 of ALL the papers, The chipboard Sheets, The chipboard ornate frames, the chipboard shapes that have birds, hearts, butterflies, stars… the works!, the 2 different alphabet sets (dots and gridlines) AND, since it just makes it FUN to use with the invisibles, I am throwing in a BRACKETS mega mask!
you can see the collection in my NEW winter CHA catalog on-line...
but the chipboard looks something like this:
and the papers look something like this:
We’ll be playing with this stuff when I come to Edmonton for the ‘All Day’ workshop! and in Houston at By Design Scrapbooks. You will LOVE this stuff… it’s exciting to try.
This is what the Invisibles paper looks like when i used the braket frame mega mask, and some Broken China Distress ink... (pls forgive the bad lighting!)
you might notice some Grunge board, and some verb stickers, and some ghost wings, and these stickers...
and some Bling
And I thought I would throw in a ‘bag clip’… because I think this is the coolest thing… it’s designed to hold your purse, or your scrapbook tool bag.. or whatever- just off the edge of the table. It’s perfect for a crop, and then out to lunch! So cute! It just folds up and takes up no room at all! You have to see it to believe it!
Just leave me a comment and tell me what makes you ‘lucky’.. (for the record, I don’t believe in LUCK except in FARKLE… what I really mean is ‘blessed’!) today is a good day to reflect on our awesome blessings… I hope that you are feelin’ lucky today! I know that I am.
(last night FHE ... eating Girl Scout Cookies smashed in icecream (thanks EM) and playing Farkle)
I was feeling PRETTY LUCKY to be eating Girl Scout Cookies (thin mints are my fav! i like them frozen)
oh, and CONGRATS to all you LUCKY GIRLS coming to Creative Escape!! if you haven't heard, don't give up hope! keep your fingers crossed!
I'm sure you'll be happy to get home once you have made the move.. Love the new line can't wait to try the invisibles!! Pick Me hehehehehe

I am lucky to live where we do--having great doctors. My little girl has celiac disease and was diagnosed very soon after displaying the first symptoms thanks to our great doctors. She is thriving now. So I'm lucky and blessed.

I feel lucky that I learned early to save money and know how to make my own unique things!! My hubby and I are looking to buy our first place, so in this economy debt free is really going to help us do this. So, for today-right now, I feel really lucky to be debt free!

Well, I'm feeling lucky today... got my family, I'm able to stay at home and take care of the kids, and I have this opportunity to win Heidi Swapp goodies! Now, nothing beats that.... :-)

Oh Heidi, I watched your video tutorials on how to use your new invisible products. I think it looks like so much fun!
I am feeling lucky today because we had a fantastic night out front with our neighbors visiting and watching the kids play. It was as I remembered growing up. We've scheduled another get together tomorrow night, too! fun :)

I am lucky to have the opportunity to be a stay at home Mom to my 6yr old. It is a gift I am thankful for everyday.

I agree with you Heidi. I know the things I feel lucky about... love, family and friends... are truly blessings!
Posted by: Samantha | March 18, 2009 at 07:48 AM
i'm lucky because i have a loving family who believe in creating their own luck! meaning: going after our dreams, that everything is a choice and it can and will create your own kind of "luck"!!!!

Even though my husband has decided to leave me and the two kids after 12 years of endless support through medical school and residency, I am lucky to have had 2 superific kids from him. Especially lucky since I had a hysterectomy last year and can no longer have children.

I feel lucky to be married to my best friend. It's a wonderful feeling that I sometimes need to stop and think and marvel at. :-)

Lucky to have such a great family, and three wonderful boys.
Posted by: anne | March 18, 2009 at 08:03 AM
I'm lucky/blessed for many reasons. I have wonderful husband and a 14-month-old son whom I love watching grow and learn. And I am going to be a home-owner on Friday and am packing to move!

What makes me lucky? Being married to my high school sweet heart, having two healthy kids and two jobs makes me feel pretty lucky right now...
Posted by: Kirsten | March 18, 2009 at 08:20 AM
Not feeling lucky right now except in the really important things such as family. I would love to come with my daughter to Creative escape as we have each year but alas no lucky e-mail. I would have loved to recieve the download but alas i missed that as well. I am hoping for this drawing. Maybe it is my turn to be lucky?

I am totally with you on the "blessed" point, as opposed to luck, so with that said, I consider myself to be soooooo LUCKY to have my faith in God, a house that I do not have to worry about losing, food in our pantry, a car that is reliable and a family that I would not trade for anything in the world. And I am sure to thank God for all this many times a day! :-) I also must say that i think it is quite a blessing to have the INTERNET, so I can be part of a lovely community of scrapbooking ladies (and Tim!), even though we all live far apart! :-)

Looks like the makings of a great concept. The Luck of the Irish does seem to be rubbing off on a lot of folks lately. Thanks!
