Fat Free Candy

I think its about time i had a candy! Well you could call it a belated Candy. I was going to do a candy to mark my One year anniversary of being a Stampin Up! demonstrator, (which was in September), also for my 1st year Blog Anniversary (which was in March 09 ) oh time flys!, also for celebrating the all new 'Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog', but most importantly and which most of my blog readers dont know is, Im Celebrating with this blog Candy because I had Cervical Cancer and since July have had 3 Operations to remove it, I have been on so much medication you could shake me like a rattle. Well it turns out the saying '3rd time lucky' is true, i have had the phone call to confirm that there is no-longer any signs of cancer left.

I cant really put into words how i feel right now but if i had to choose just one it would be 'Blessed', Im blessed to have such a wonderful Family, I'm Blessed to have my Friends close by and those friends who ive never met but have been there for me on the phone and in my computer! I'm Blessed to have you all in my life, you have supported me and helped me through this time, and without all of you i couldnt of done it ♥

 

I would especially like to say thank you to Emma & Paula, you are both the most amazing friends to have...I love you both very much girles Lol

OK here's what your really waiting for....The Candy!!!

Theres lots of embellies, pins, glitter borders, charms, flowers, sentiments, ribbons and a set of gorgeous Mica pigment powder!

If you would like a chance of winning my Candy please leave a comment on this post.
