You have to wait muskrat. Sometime this week MY Sweet Petunia will make two lucky members dream come true. She has a very big heart to offer these gifts to two members. I would say that is going to be a very hard decision for her to make. For those of us who weren't one of those two members we must be very happy for the two members that were. Good Luck to every one.

I'm a pretty patient waiter. I used to take my MIL to all her Dr. Appts and she liked going early. I miss her a lot.
Tick....Tock....Tick....Tock
Waiting is a nail biter. But just think how excited the lucky two will feel. Just like Christmas Morning when we all were kids. Wondering if Santa would stop at your house or not.
OMWord, you gals are going to totally think I've lost my marbles with how excited I am (and you would most likely be right! LOL) but I just figured out ANOTHER reason I need a misti! (Yes...I'm slow, what can I saw. ;) )
My hubby made me a craft table for an early birthday gift, and I had him put a pull out "drawer" in it (for lack of a better word) so I could emboss right there, without melting the big self healing mat I've had for years, that now lives on top my craft table.
He FINALLY got the embossing station done, and installed into the table this afternoon (only had my table for a few days) and strung the extension cord under the table, attaching it to the table so it doesn't get tripped on (I'm clumsy LOL), so I had a plug in on the end I needed it, for my brand new heat gun (also an early birthday gift! )
So...I had to grab the only bottles of embossing powder I had that was some my late sister-in-law had that I snagged when I was helping my brother clean out her craft room since he had no use for it. I grabbed some scrap cardstock and a butterfly stamp and did 4 butterflies in the 4 different colors. WOW!!! I'm SO IN LOVE!
Embossing is SO cool!
Anyway...back to my point (sorry for the long ramble) since I don't have lots of room, I could save space, by having a misty and using my memento ink to stamp an image...then not moving the stamp, use my versamark ink to stamp in the SAME spot, then emboss with clear powder...and have a colored embossed image, without having lots of different colors of embossing powder!
Maybe there is another way to do it...but since I'm brand new to embossing, and mostly new to card making I don't know it yet. All I know is I LOVE embossing...and hope to do it a LOT in the future!!!!! Gotta get me a Misti!!
Hopefully next years birthday gift...if I can't find a way to finagle it before then.
Good luck to everyone, I know whoever wins will enjoy their new toy!
Back to my cool new craft table now...I have the BEST hubby!!!!
Congrats on your new craft table! My craft room is also my living room! I even had to move a recliner to another room to give me some work space. I'd say I have about a third of the living room occupied with bookshelves, storage containers and a kitchen island that is now a craft table.

Thank you!! I feel your pain, but I couldn't get any crafting spot into my living room, cause it's actually a small bedroom upstairs, that we turned into the living room, cause I needed a dinning room for my furniture and my Grandmothers (and Great Grandmothers) china pieces...so the living room turned into the dinning room...and we stuck the living room back in a corner of the house. LOL My craft room/sewing room/ office for my hubby and I is in our basement. Thankfully it's a walk out basement, so it's not to bad, just kinda small to be shared by all the rest. :-))
Hubby said I need a craft shed...but I don't really want to have to walk out in the snow in the winter to go to my craft shed...plus I get cold easy, so it would probably never be warm enough. LOL I'll just have to make do with what I have...and hope I can find room for less used stuff, if I ever out grow the storage space I have now.
Grads on the new table and embossing area. Sounds very nice. I have one wall worth of space in a spare bedroom where my husband has his weight set and our desktop computer desk is. Hubby took a unfinished 2' x 5' hollow wooden door and put legs on it. All my paper and etc gets stored under the table or on top. I am left with a 2' width area that when I want to cut something I have to get my cutter and then put it away or on the floor. On one end of the table my father-in-law before he passed away made a 2 tier shelf thing and that's where my stamps & over flow sits. I see pictures of fancy crafting rooms and dream. It sounds like we all have space issues in our homes. I'm not complaining I'm very happy to have the space I have to do what I enjoy. Make Cards
I've watched all videos up to and including Lydia's on two step stamping. They are awesome! Getting tired so I guess I will log off and check back in tomorrow. Sleep well!

Thanks! And Ugg...it does sound like you have less room. I feel for ya, I was using the back of my hubby desk, till he got my table done, which wasn't real fun but better than nothing! ;-))
Yes...I see those photos too, and dream...but that's probably all it will ever be...a dream. LOL However...I'm so happy with my table, I'm NOT complaining!!
I have been trying to figure out how many people entered, but haven't been able to determine that. I think we have great odds and that all of you are awesome stompers!
Picture this. I'm standing on my head and whistling Dixie. You won't believe this, but one of my bestie friends on SCS ordered me a MISTI today! So because I have one coming, I am dropping out of the competition. That will give all of you one closer step up to winning! Good luck!
I'm so bummed I didn't get to enter. I had the thread open in my browser as a reminder, but last week was a crazy week.
On the bright side, I was offered a job on Friday... a place that I've been applying for the last couple of years! It was a total whirlwind, one of my good friends works there and has been sitting in on interviews, taking notes for the supervisor... she texted me Monday night saying all the candidates sucked and I needed to apply asap and she was positive I'd get the job. We used to volunteer together for that same organization. We both loved it, but she was the smart one and applied for a job there in spite of the extremely low pay, while I was the dumb one and stuck with my higher paying job instead. Been miserable ever since!
I sent my resume for the millionth time it seems on Tuesday night, got an email Wednesday morning, attended 2nd interview Thursday morning (the supervisor did the process backwards because she wanted to get me in quickly!), attended 1st interview at head office Friday, morning mostly as a technicality I learned because I was offered the job less than 45 minutes after I left head office!
Really excited about the new job, but still bummed about the MISTI prize draw, LOL. Good luck everybody!!!
Kathy - YAY!! How very awesome of your friend! Enjoy your new toy!!
Kim K - Sorry you didn't get to enter, but a big congrats on your new job!!
Exactly!
What a kind an generous friend Kathy!! I've noticed there are some wonderful people on this board, been nice seeing that not EVERYONE is out for themselves, like I've seen a bit to much the last few years. Have fun with your new toy when you get it!!
And Kim...so glad you were able to get a new job!! Maybe with that will come the funding for a misti!
