Diffusers and Blog Candy!
First off I would like to welcome my new followers! How exciting to reach that 400 mark and normally I do a blogaversary candy, but thought it would be nice to offer up a little "Celebration Candy" to one of my followers who have made this journey such a great ride! All you have to do is to leave a comment and let me know you would like to be included in the candy! I will draw two names and each will receive a $25 gift certificate to The Funkie Junkie Boutique. Today also happens to be my Dad's birthday and although he is no longer with us, it gives me pleasure to celebrate. I will announce the winners on September 13th, to allow you time to take advantage of this week's Friday Focus products, which are "Diffusers." Linda is also going to add all Texture Fades embossing folders she carries at an additional 15% off, so that is a really good deal!
For all the details on these products and use of the Diffusers, please click this LINK, which will take you to the Frilly and Funkie Friday Focus! No real reason for me to repeat myself!!
Thank you for visiting today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I have tons of blogs to visit and catch up on!

Blogging Friends Rock and Candy!!
What a fabulous Labor Day weekend I had! We went to Wisconsin for our son's birthday. It was a quick visit, as I had to leave the older pets and I have a difficult time with that! Even with the short visit and a couple of flight mishaps, all went well and we sure did get in plenty of fun! We did not arrive to Green Bay until after 11:30 PM and then went in search of food. Yes we were hungry and so was my son, who waited all that time to eat with us and that boy can eat, so imagine how hungry he was! Speaking of, we went to a place called Prime Quarter for his birthday on Saturday as he wanted to win the "Beef Eating Metal" with us there! Yes, he did! All 40 oz of a big steak, but not before he ate a baked potato, salad and Texas toast! We had a blast!
On the way to the Milwaukee airport, we stopped in Oshkosh and met up with that wonderful and sweet long time Technique Junkie and Blogger friend of mine, Vada's Blog Stamps Ink and Paper! We did not get to spend too much time as it really was a rushed weekend and Vada was willing to drive all the way to Green Bay, but I felt we could do this much closer to where lives. We also got to meet Bandit and her husband, Larry!
Vada also gave me a lovely surprise, which I love. She stamped the decorative thread card holder and check out those incredible crochet pieces. I can't wait to use these! Thank you so much, Vada for taking time out of your day and meeting up with us and next time it will be longer!
Upon our return to CA, I had another blogger friend encounter! Now it took me two days to check mail upon our return and there was a fabulous envelope all the way from Germany. Valerie of Bastelmania-Craftattack, posted me a surprise! Love each incredible piece and I thank you so much!
I really believe that blogger friends rock - big time! While I was also away from the blogging world, I have hit 400 followers - WOOHOO! Thank you to all my new followers and of course those of you who have been around for the long haul! To celebrate hitting the 400 mark, I will offer a little blog candy, so stop by tomorrow as I have a DT post that really needs to get finished!
Thank you all for stopping by and come back tomorrow! Big thanks again to Vada and Valerie!

Who Can Resist?
The Funkie's are now sharing their take on "Resist" at Frilly and Funkie! We want to see your fabulous irresistible creations, whether "Frilly or Funkie," so stop on over for all the details and come join in on all the fun! As always there is a $25.00 random draw gift certificate to The Funkie Junkie Boutique and someone will be chosen as a favorite to display a winner's badge. "Inspired by Summer Distress" is the fun challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show, so we are spooking over there!
My resist of choice was working with embossing ink and powders! I had a little fun here and just could not seem to stop at just one tag, so moved on to a second and then a third! Love the new Halloween stamps from Mr. Holtz! Well I had everything out, so I just switched things up a little. Great fun and I sure hope to see you there!

Flower Power!
The Fashionettes are showing their "Flower Power" and that can be floral stamping and or handmade flowers. Just remember there has to be some form of stamping as Digi images are not allowed. There is a prize from Cottage Crafts and always the "Top Three," so come join in the fun at Fashionable Stamping Challenges! For more inspiration and a lovely bouquet for the eyes, stop by FSC to see what my super talented DT Sisters have gone and done! Simon Says Stamp and Show current challenge is "No Rules," so I will link this up there!
For my card, I decided to go pretty and feminine! Not so easy for me as I am always tempted to add that little bit of grunge, but for this, I went pretty! The background was stamped with Archival Coffee and distressed with Frayed Burlap, as was the smaller flower. The two flower pieces were cut using a Spellbinders die and I did trim the pink one, so it would be a little smaller. These come in three sizes and I wanted something in between. All petal edges were distressed, you know I had to! The Woman is from Hero Arts and I inked up some shimmery paper, starting with Spun Sugar in the center and working out with Antique Linen, Pumice Stone and then shaded with Frayed Burlap!
Now the pretty little flower trim was gifted to me by my friend, Lucy, of True Colours! Yes, she is as sweet as can be! I cut some of the trim into segments to embellish the bottom! This is so pretty! Thank you again, Lucy!
Well I have been busy getting some things caught up DT wise as next week, I will be busy getting some food taken care of for the house sitter we will have. Over the Labor Day weekend we are making a trip to visit our son for his birthday. Oh and I will be having a quick visit with another blogger friend that I actually knew before blogging, so that adds to the excitement! Anyway, I do so appreciate your visits and will be visiting you all really soon! Have a wonderful weekend!
