Hi Stampers :
Today is the day for some Blog Treats .. This post will remain up on top until the drawing for this blog candy which will be Wednesday May 14th .. 
Look at all the goodies I have for this Blog candy .. got alot of treasures I have posted from my Dollar store Plus a couple extra things .. But look how this blog candy will be shipped to the lucky person whos name is drawn .. Pretty cute huh? Its a 3 liter soda bottle .What is really amazing is that the mug even fits inside (wouldn't fit in a 2 liter bottle, way to small .. But after some squeezing everything fits . WHEW!!
So in honor of my 1 year anniversary of my knee replacement PLUS a Blog milestone of over 700,000 visits ~PLUS
The really BIG~ HUGE!~ GINORMOUS News is that My hubby got in to the State dept . He found out last week and he got all his clearances for NAS, CIA & FBI he just needs to be finger printed which he will do that either in Bagdad or when he comes home ( which will be sooner than July since the job starts in July ) We both are sooo excited about this News and all the doors this will open for him.
SOOOOOO Its time for some Happy Blog candy ..
To be entered It's simple enough:

Congrats on all of your news!!! I have your blog as one of my top ones. I love your tutorials. You explain things very well. Also I am very happy to hear your good news about your husband. I just cannot imagine how difficult it is to have your husband away from you for such long periods of time and not knowing if he is doing well. My husband works out of town during the week but I know that he is coming home on Thursdays. I have great respect for you and all military families. Thanks to all of you!!!!
