Happy WOYWW dear friends! It’s been awhile since I’ve showed off stash… mainly, because I’ve been scrapping from scraps for quite some time now. But, thanks to Holley Barnhardt I have a few new toys to play with.
Last month, Holley celebrated her third anniversary of surviving brain surgery with a month-long giveaway. If you don’t know her, I encourage you to visit her blog and read Holley’s story – it’s quite amazing and very inspiring!
Holley designs for a ton of stamp companies, and she teamed up with them to offer multiple, daily drawings to her readers last month. I was fortunate enough to win not once, not twice, but three times! The photos I am sharing today are the goodies I received for two of my prizes. I was also lucky enough to win the grand prize – a gift certificate to The Paper Temptress! I am not sure what I am ordering yet – any suggestions?
I had hoped to play with my new goodies and share another card this week, but I opted instead to catch up on my reading. If you’re looking for a good book to read, stop by and check out my latest Book Reviews!
I also shared a photo of my Little Lion King prowling the Serengeti in search of his next meal! Confused? You won’t be after reading the full story over at Wordless Wednesday – Imagine!
Have a fabulous week as we count down the days to Spring!

Great looking lotta loot there! Love all the fun stuff you have to play with. I read the story about Tsunami yesterday and about rolled on the floor laughing cause I have a cat that still does the play stalking and she is about 5 years old now. Bought her a fur mouse and she flings it goes after it like it is alive and she needs it to survive! Have a great week Joy! Vickie

Thanks Heather – got to share though that as soon as I opened that envie, Legend (the other cat) made a beeline for the stash and started munching on the footlong stamp package, which I had to retrieve from his drooling mouth! Fortunately, he only got the package and not the stamps. Guess he needs some new toys too!
Lots of lovely stash to play with there! x Jo
