Blog Candy

A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found such one hath found a treasure....Ecclesiasticus 6:14 

BLOGCANDYFINAL


 These past few weeks I have been really busy with all kinds of different
"stuff".  I wanted to show you what I have been up to.  This year I 
challenged myself to create something new to me each month.. 
Above is April and below is May. 


Next to stamping my other love is sewing.. I have been wanting to make a 
quilted bag and finally got to it.. I realized that when I head home I don't 
have a bag that is big enough to carry my crafting stuff in.. So I designed 
my own..



 
BlogcandyFINAL POUCH


I also created a little pouch to carry my copics in..  I will be doing a 
tutorial soon on this flower.  It is is so easy.  So stay tuned.  Even if 
you don't sew you can create these. 

I want to give you all a chance to win my bag and pouch filled with the
following goodies...Whether you are new here or follow each day I really
appreciate my blogging friends. 


I will also be including the Flourishes Summer Botanical set seen above...
PLUS 4 copic markers for the little pouch..PLUS...




One of my favorite images from Mo's Digital Pencil.....  KISSY
(thank you MO...)








PLUS....a $5 gift certificate to shop at Sassy Cheryl's Store....




So here is that list of goodies:


1.  My custom made quilted bag
2.  My custom made copics holder
3.  4 copics ( colors of my choice)
4.  The Flourishes stamp set Summer Botanicals
5.  A free image for Mo's Digital Pencil
6.  A $5 gift certificate from Sassy Cheryl's
7.  My favorite gingham ribbon




What do you have to do.. Just leave me a comment telling me what your favorite 
quote is.. I am collecting them and find them so inspiring. If you can't think of one
then just leave me a comment to enter.. I want this to be fun..

If you want to follow my blog GREAT ..If you want to post this on your blog that
is GREAT too.. Nothing is required. Enter as often as you want. 

On June 1st at 10:00 pm EST I will pick a winner through random generator.. 
That way everyone has a fair chance..


Thank you all so much for joining me.. This is only for fun.  I have been blessed
by so many sharing with me I just wanted to give back.

  5. Awesome candy ;)

    Though your smile is gone forever
    and your hand we cannot touch
    Still we have so many memories
    of the one we loved so much
    Your memory is our keepsake
    with which we'll never part
    God has you in his keeping
    We/I have you in my/our heart(s).

    A happy one ;)

  6. Very cool, Dawn - awesome sewing! I think my favorite quote is: "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!" LOL! Not sure if that even counts as a quote, since I don't know where it came from. (Maybe I'll think a little more and add a "real" one later.)

    I just left you a little "sunshine," too! Check out my blog for the details:)

    Hey Dawn, your bag and copic holder are simply amazing! You are so gifted and so inspiring to me. Every time I visit your blog I walk away inspired and in awe. Reading your words makes me feel like I've sat down and chatted with a friend. . .so thanks. I'm going to predict that you get like a billion comments ;)

  9. Oh wow Dawn, this is fantastic. I'm not entering, although I'd love to, just think that it would be a conflict of interest. : ) But I tell you what, one lucky person is going to be thrilled to get this. I just LOVE that bag. It is to DIE for! Good luck to all.
    And I adore the new look of your blog. Amazing!

  11. Oh oh oh!!! Here is one I LOVE, I don't know if it's really a "quote" though. It's from a movie called Walk the Line:

    God gave us a great big apple, see, and He said don't touch it. He didn't say touch it once in a while; He didn't say take a nibble when you're hungry; He said don't touch it! Don't think about touchin' it, don't sing about touchin' it, don't think about singin' about touchin' it!

  17. Hi Dawn! What a beautiful quilted bag! I love your color choices:) Although I have put together an entire booklet of quotes, I really don't have a favorite. One of the reasons that I put the book together was because I'm terrible at memorizing great quotes;D

  35. One of my fave quotes is this one: “Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though Sometimes It’s Hell in the Hallway”.

  36. Both of your bags are gorgeous! I'll be watching for your tutorial!

    I have also been blessed by similar thoughts expressed in the song In Christ Alone, by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty.

  37. Hi Dawn! I love this idea...I just added an inspirational post to my blog today by Erma Bombeck. But I will save that for another entry (since I can't quite remember it right now.) But one of my life verses is
    Matthew 6:33
    "Seek ye first the kindgom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."
    Your bag is so pretty and full of charm...wowee!! I've been seeing these and wanted to try one, though I am not a sewer, how can you not love the fabric?
    Thanks for the inspiring scripture on friendship at the top...it so touched my heart!
    Hugs to you!!

  53. OMG this bag is beautiful! I don't think I have ever seen a blog candy I would have liked to win more than this one. Your work is all so beautiful.
    I guess my "most used" quote while raising my sons has been "Be careful who your friends are because you are what you associate with" Guilty by association. Thankfully they have listened and have grown into fine young men:)

  54. Dawn, your blog candy is so unique and very generous!!! Even if I don't win your blog candy, I want one of those quilted bags! They are beautiful, my friend. I wish I could sew. You are so blessed with many wonderful talents.

    Okay, I must admit to being surprised and ashamed of myself that I wasn't already one of your followers. I've had a link to your blog on my blog roll for ages, and I guess I just assumed I was already one of your followers. Actually, I'm more of a Dawn groupie. LOVE, love, LOVE your work!

    I have many favorite quotes, but the latest one I've been on a kick about relates to gratitude. It seems too many people nowadays take for granted what they have or are given without showing any kind of gratitude, so here's one of my favorite quotes:

    He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has. ~Epictetus

    Thanks, again, for the chance! Happy day, my friend!

  55. Wow, Thanks for the chance to win something so personal and unique! I love your blog and have been a follower for awhile. Your colouring and designs are so inspiring!

    I have so many quotes that I so love.. but I had to add this one that I have on my blog... I think we can all relate...

  60. You are so super talented, Dawn! What a great bag and copic case! I am a huge fan of Emily Dickinson, so here is one of my favorites:

    And sings the tune without the words,
    and never stops at all.

    It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of one's self and appreciating what is noble and loving in another." Thomas Hughes

    "A friend is someone you can count on to keep a promise." Unknown

    Because His compassions fail not.
    They are new every morning;
    Great is Your faithfulness."

  121. Hi Dawn~

    I can not imagine sewing gorgeous quilted bags. You wanted to do it...and, YOU DID! I love anything quilted. And, do not own one piece yet. I tell you if I were to win your incredible blog candy...it would live in a very loving and respected home. I would use it to pack one activity I am working on. Perhaps, I would put all of the items needed for that month's Christmas Card Challenge at SCS. Then when I was out and about...I would take the bag and have everything...including a very special section for my newest copics. (That would be easy, I only own 8!) It is really very generous for you to offer a wonderful bag of goodies...including the BAG! Thank you for the opportunity.

    I love quotes also. If I see them, I jot them down in a little notebook I keep. (It could go in the quilted bag, too!)

    One of my favorites is from
    Martin Luther King, Jr.~

    "Injustice anywhere is injustice EVERYWHERE."

    I am sorry. There was something else I wanted to add.

    Personally, I believe the best words to memorize are the words of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. If anyone is in need of a Bible. Please let me know, and I will find one for you. I do not sell anything. I just think it is
    so important that every person has the Truth to read. I say this in Faith. I am sure He will provide if the need is there.

  184. And a few more ...

    I’m not 30 Something, I’m $29.95 plus shipping and handling.

    Sometimes “act your age” is open to interpretation.

  185. Too much of a good thing - there is no such thing!

    If you’re 39 and holding … how old would you be if you let go?

    Forget about the past - you can’t change it. Forget about the future - you can’t predict it. Forget about the present … I didn’t get you one.

    The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.

    My fondest memories of the past year, are the ones that include you.

  187. You’ve always understood me … Frightening, isn’t it?

    A true friend is one who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked.

    Friends are our chosen family.

  188. I have a doggie quote today:

    The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog...He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world...When all other friends desert, he remains.
    George G. Vest

    Thanks again for the chance to win!

  193. What a wonderful Blog Candy Dawn ! It will be like Christmas morning for the lucky winner ! Here is my favorite quote, it's from R.W. Emerson : "To give of one's self ; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition... to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded." Thank you. Smiles from Catherine

  197. Thank you so much for the chance to win these beautiful pieces! In these days with all the madness in the world, it's sometimes hard to keep our priorities straight, so I love this quote:

  200. Hi Dawn~

    I am so excited about your blog candy! I keep thinking how great it would be to put materials I need to do some coloring, and bringing it all in your incredibly HAND-MADE bag (That is amazing!) on a picnic, minus any food, because I would be coloring. I would love to win some copics, also. Really, thank you for the opportunity.

    Here is today's quote, Friday, May 21st:

    "I lay you down at night to sleep.
    I pray your soul the Lord to keep.
    I kiss you and touch your beautiful face.
    I know I have you by God's loving Grace."

    ~Shelley Howington
