50K Blog Candy

Earlier this week, I passed 50,000 on my blog hit counter! I remember being excited about 1,000 hits. It took me a month to get that far, and here we are, just 4-1/2 months later with 50,000! Wow!!

I'm always looking at the "numbers", so for those of you who are also interested, here are some more blog stats, as of today, 11-16-08:
  • Days Blogging: 200
  • # of Posts: 175
  • # of Hits: 52,300
  • Stamping Top 500 Rank: 296

I have really enjoyed sharing my stamping creations with you over the last few months. Thanks for visiting my blog and showing your love with your feedback and comments! To celebrate this milestone, I'm giving away my very first "Blog Candy"! Check out these goodies:

50K Blog Candy includes:

  • So Many Scallops stamp set
  • Love & Happiness Rub-Ons (includes one sheet in each color: Black, White, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive)
  • Prints Designers Series Paper (five 6x6 squares in each color: Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Rose Red, and Almost Amethyst)
  • Purely Pomegranate Love Notes & Envelopes (10)

To be entered in the drawing for this blog candy, please leave a comment on this post and tell me how you found my blog and which project you've liked the most. (Don't forget to include your name with your comment.) I'll draw one winner on Sunday, November 23rd at 8:00 pm (Central Time).

    Congrats on the 50,000 hits!

    Keep going, what you share is great. I found your blog from the Impeckable stampers group since I used to be a member there.

    Congratulations on your 50 000 hits!!!

    I think I found your blog through your gallery at Splitcoast. I liked a card you made, so followed your blog link to see more.

    It's really hard to pick just one project as my favourite, but I LOVE the jewelery challenge and the cards you make for that!

    Thanks for the inspiration (and sorry I don't comment more... I'm a bad blog-stalker).

    I can't tell you how I found your blog...it has been a long time and I signed up for auto feed. In your recent posts I liked the thank you notes with "Inspired by Nature". I just love that set and have used it to make cat tails with the grass to black eyed susies and now your thank yous.

    Congratulations on your 50,000 hits. I think that I found your blog from another stamper. I have been checking it daily since then. I love the card you just did using Stacey's jewelry creations. The orange and greens are beautiful. I also like the simplicity of most of your cards.

    Thanks for all your ideas.

    I logged on from Splitcoast after I saw the baby boy bundle of joy card. I also really liked the scalllop edge punch used vertical on the "Snow Swirled" Christmas card on your blog.

    Congrat on the 50,000 hits!!!

    Congratulations on your blogging milestone AND on your new baby girl! I enjoy reading your blog and seeing your creations. I think I discovered your blog following a link from SCS some time ago. I must have found you soon after you started blogging; didn't realize you were new to blogging until your recent comments.

    I like so many of your cards, but I think my very favorite is the To You and Yours Christmas card with Kraft, Baja Breeze, and Ski Slope DSP. It is serene and simply elegant! Love that dove image. Keep up the good work, Julie, and we'll keep checking in!

    Hi Julie! Congrats on 50k! Of all your posts, I would have to say the Strawberry basket (from July 2008) is my favorite... I'm always looking for neat ways to showcase 3-D projects, and that basket is to die for! I found your blog from one of your CI posts on Kristina Werner's blog. Your cards are absolutely beautiful!

    Take care,

    Hi Julie,

    I don't get here as often as I like, but when I do I always catch up on the old posts and projects. One of my favorites is the "Onsie" card....can't wait for the next grandbaby to be able to make a few dozen!

    And of course, I stumbled on your blog through your monthly newsletters.

    Congrats on your blog milestone, that darling little angel, and getting settled back in Chambana!

    I found you through the KWerner design blog! I love your cards ( my fav is the baby boy card- love the brown with blue) and I think your premade card sets for Christmas are a great idea!

    Good luck for another 50,000 hits! I am sure it won't take you long!

    Congratulations on all the hits!
    I found your blog during convention when I was seeking spoilers of the new catalog. I was hooked then. What I like are ALL the common sense projects that use what we all have around in distinctly sensible ways! I am ok with this card or that project, some just knock me out, but it is the consistency of practical projects that keeps me coming back!

    Your blog is great! No wonder you're way over 50K now!!! :)

    I love your use of the argyle paper. I've looked at it a dozen times, but never bought any... I couldn't "see" it in a card. Now I can!

    I found your blog on SCS SU! Only forum. I am addicted to checking out blogs. Which is why my house is so messy..........

    Congratulations on your new baby & all your hits. It takes a lot of work to accomplish so much.

    I found your blog when I was blog hopping & loved your work. I love to stamp & have used your ideas many times.

    It's hard to pick just one project as my favorite. S/U has so much to offer.
    Again, congrats! Warmly, Iris
