Did you miss me?? I'm BACK and I have BLOG CANDY! :)

HELLO ... HELLO... HELLO...
Welcome back to my little corner of Blogland. Sorry Ive been gone sooooo long. 

We are a US Military family that has PCS'd (permanent Change of Station), from the US MILITARY Academy at West Point, NY to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The big move is finally behind us, and DH is in his new command post, and we are in our new House, and in a new neighborhood and our 4 kids are now enrolled in new schools. Whew!!!  We love the excitement of NEW changes, the diversity of living in different places, the great joys of traveling and the amazing experiences!!  (though these moves are stressful, tiring and tougher as this girl gets older) ha!   The ARMY move us every two-three years with my DH's position.  We still have about two-three more moves left in us prior to settling down someplace for good.  It's the Military life of duty and I wouldn't have it any other way.  :)

Im happy to announce that I'll be coming back to crafting now that my craft room boxes are finally unpacked.  yippee! Hoping to start creating this week, (fingers crossed). The rest of what remains of the house will just have to come together as we go along.  heheh... To start off, I want to offer this exciting Blog Candy for my amazing followers... 
It has 185-ish adorable Charms in many themes, a bag of 24 Rolls of Colored Twine and a box of Liquid Metal markers (for coloring your charms to match up to all your projects).  
Isn't this fun?? 

All you have to do to win this CANDY is leave me a comment, FOLLOW me and help to spread the word about my little blog by posting a pic of this candy with a link coming back to my blog.  That's it! Anyone, anywhere is eligible to win. The lucky winner will be chosen on Oct 1st. :)

For extra chances to win, I would LOVE it if you also became a FOLLOWER of our FUN House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge Blog found HERE.  Simply stop by to see what we are all about.  Maybe you'll want to join us by playing along with the NEW "Autumn Leaves" Challenge!  If you do, you will have another chance to win more fabulous prizes from our incredibly generous sponsors Simon Says Stamp and Di's Digi Downloads. PLUS, another chance at a second huge CHARM LOT prize!  So don't miss out!  Check us out HERE!!

Good Luck and thank you again for your continued love and support. It means so much that you stopped by to VISIT!!

  6. Welcome back, you have been missed by me. I love House Mouse and I try to join the challenge every two weeks. We have only moved 4 times in 53 years of marriage, I can't imagine what it would be like every 3 or 4 years. Of course you would purge more often than I have. Awesome blog candy. Looking forward to seeing your gorgeous creations again.

  9. Enjoy your new duty station. I remember traveling to each new base with my dad. Is your dh the base commander? My own boy just joined the army and is at mos school. He wanted to be airborne but missed it by two push ups. He plans to try again at the next available opportunity.

    Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy. I never thought of coloring the charms. Sometimes I am just slower than others. lol.
