Two Pink Peas Big Bundle Giveaway Is Now Open.....

As promised I am posting my giveaway today although it is past midnight but I am getting it done. This is everything all piled up together. I am going to post a few more pics and explain everything that one of you will receive!!

Here we go..

Ok, I am going to try and explain each item in this giveaway for you but just know that you will get every single thing in these pictures. I might add more goodies as time goes on. I will let you know what I add if I do that! 

In this big bundle you are going to receive:

One ColorBok Patterned Paper Pack with 8 sheets of

12" x 12" called "Whimsy Assorted"

One ColorBok Patterned Paper Pack with 8 sheets of

12" x 12" called "Earthtones"

3 Separate Card Making Kits, all are different. Each kit makes 4 cards. Each kit contains 4 cards, 4 envelopes, 4 adhesive buttons, 12 adhesive rhinestones, 4 ribbon bows, 2 paper embellishments and 1 sticker sheet. Each kit has a total of 31 pieces. I will give you a little description of each of these 3 kits. The 1st kit has pink, black and gray colors and the 2 embellishments say "Thanks" and "Friends". The 2nd kit has pinks, purples and looks like an off white color which is embossed with little circles. The 2 embellishments say "Happy Birthday" and "Congrats!". The 3rd and last kit has pinks, whites, blacks, turquoise or it could be a blueish color and the 2 embellishments say "Congrats!" and "Happy Birthday". I bought a bunch of these at Target because they were only $1.00 each. I am planning on not putting the cards together in the kits like they are meant to but I am going to take things apart and use parts of the cards to make other cards, if that makes sense. It is worth it just for the buttons, ribbons and blings. I can see someone really being creative (which is ALL of you, just saying) and making a whole NEW and different look then what is shown on each kits pictures. But feel free to do whatever you wish with them.

You are going to get 2 packages with 3 glitter glues tubes in each package. The colors are Blue, Green and Red and Pink, Purple and Silver. There are also from the dollar bin at Target. I bought a ton of these. Each glitter glue tube contains .41 ounces.

Next you are getting 1 bottle of Silver Glitter Glue and it contains 4 fluid ounces.

2 sweet Rubber Stamps that say "hello" and Thanks"

I am throwing in 4 packets of my Peel N Stick Ribbon. They each have 3 separate ribbons for a total of 3 yards in each package. They say "Let's Go For A Walk", 1st Grandchild and the ribbon under that in the same package says "Precious Baby" and one package has adorable blue cars and the ribbon under the cars says "Day Trip" and the last package says "Happy Hanukkah".

You are also getting 2 spools of ribbon, one baby pink and one is purple. Very cute. Each spool contains 10 yards of ribbon.

You are getting 1 White Jelly Roll Pen, I have to say that I LOVE these!!

Next is a package from Simply Creative with 6 Jelly Tags plus 1 yard of Trim. All of the Jelly Tags are different. 1 says "'Cook", "the", Kiss", "Always", a picture of lips and the last one is a picture of a rolling pin and a bowl (I think it is a bowl anyhow..lol) But these are cute!

I am adding in some pretty Shimmery Red Cording. It is almost thin like twine but you can use this for so many things. I did not measure this but this is a really good amount.

Last but not least I am giving you 16 Chipboard Tags with Ribbons already attached. You will get 2 tags of each size, color or shape. Like for instance I am giving you 2 big round silver chipboard tags with white ribbons, 2 large red rectangle tags with white polka dots with white ribbon, 2 smaller red rectangle with white polka dots with red ribbon,

2 plain green circle tags with white ribbon, 2 lighter green with white polka dots with white ribbon, 2 small silver rectangles with white ribbon, 2 green scalloped squares with white polka dots with red ribbon, 2 red scalloped squares with green ribbon. So that is 16 chipboard tags in total. You can alter these, change the ribbons if you wish, add embellishments or just use them as is for as gift tag added on a gift bag or gift. The opposite side is just plain brown chipboard so you can totally decorate these with stamps and use them on scrapbook pages or cards.

I will leave this giveaway opened until my birthday which is August 31st. I am going to give you a ton of ways to gain extra entries if you wish.

Heads Up... Getting Ready To Post A New Two Pink Peas Giveaway...

Hi girls!! How is everyone doing today? Excellent, I hope. After running my many errands that I have to do today I will be posting a brand new giveaway sponsored by ME. It is a huge Thank You for being so loyal to me and Two Pink Peas. I will be gathering some items together and will post all about this giveaway later tonight when I have time to sit down and put it all together. In other news, a new sponsor contacted me a few weeks ago and we are working on a giveaway sponsored by them so until that giveaway is ready I wanted to do a giveaway for you all right now meaning today!!! :O) 

Plus, my birthday is on the 31st of this month so this giveaway will be in honor of my birthday and me getting older..LOL. The BIG 42!! Ouch is all I can say. I don't know about you girls and guys but my mind does NOT feel 42!  I certainly don't look like I am going to be 42. To be perfectly honest with you about 99% of the people are always shocked and I mean shocked when they find how old I am. Thank goodness I at least inherited great genes for that..LOL. My body on the other hand feels 102 years old.. sheesh. There is nothing I can do about how my body feels since I have severe chronic pain on my jaw/tmj (my whole face is actually always in pain) from my total joint replacement and I also have fibromyalgia.  Enough sad talk and back to my giveaway, I wanted to give you a heads up that I will post the giveaway tonight (it is my goal to post it tonight so please don't be upset if I can't actually post it until tomorrow. I am going to do my very very best to post it today or tonight sometime)!!!

Obviously my blog candy will be all craft items and all brand new!  It's just a simple thank you for being loyal and oh no I am getting older giveaway! LOL

I hope you have a fabulous day everyone and I will talk to you later today!

Hugs to you ALL!! ~Terri

P.S. I know that some of you have chronic pain or suffer from fibromyalgia so I wanted to let you know that I am in an AMAZING facebook fibromyalgia group if you would like to join. When you have chronic pain you need support and this group will give you tons of support plus so much more. If you are interested just leave me a comment here and I will get back to you with the link to join. Trust me when I say this is a very special group and I love it so much. These girls help me get through my very rough days, so if you suffer from chronic pain or fibro think about joining. You will really love it!! Sorry for all of the blabbing..lol.

Hello To You All & A Request That Will Help Someone That You Don't Know...

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I don't know about you all but this past weekend seemed to go by so fast for me. I got to relax a little which is always needed for me..lol. I can never relax to much.

Friday night our neighborhood had a chance to set out trash that they can not normally throw away during the week. I noticed these 2 women going through my neighbors trash and their van was jammed packed with stuff that they wanted to save. Personally I have never gone through other peoples trash but I offered to help put their extra stuff in my truck and follow them around and then deliver their stuff to their home. The lived about 10 minutes from me. These 2 amazing ladies were absolutely stunned that a perfect stranger would offer to help. Let me just add that it was pouring down rain... I mean we were soak and wet. I HATE to throw things away that others can use or that they need. I was literally STUNNED at the stuff that people threw away. I mean I found a Baby Juicy Couture hoodie that was perfect in every way. So I grabbed about 2 or 3 trash bags FILLED with designer baby and toddler clothes to donate to our local woman's domestic abuse shelter. Every year we ALWAYS give or donate to them. It amazes me how somebody could throw away such beautiful clothing that can be used by children whose mother's cannot buy for them. So tomorrow I get to drop that off and that was a good thing, plus it is better for our environment. From this day on I will go around each year and do this very same thing and donate what I find to shelters. What a shame and what a waste to throw such things away.

On to other news. Today I went to my counselor/life coach and I just have to say that I really adore her so much. She is so amazing. Today she gave me this poem and wants me to read it to myself each morning. I wanted to share it with you all. Although I am not very religious this is a poem to god and it is very beautiful and it goes like this..

Dear God,

Take my life and let me live serenely for today.
Open my mind to happy thoughts.
Take away my self-pity, I don't want it.
Take away my ill-will toward others.
Make it possible for me to feel joy, love and compassion.
Help me to accept what it, to hold my tongue, to do my daily tasks and to let go with love.
Take away my worry about the future.
Make me realize that in Your hands everything will be provided for, that I have no control over anything but myself.
Help me to remember that all the hatred and pain that are directed at me are the hatred and pain the other person is feeling toward himself/herself.
Thank you for your willingness to accept my burdens and lighten my load.

Amen!

There are alot of things in this poem that do not apply to me but it is a beautiful poem and I wanted to share it with you all. Maybe these words will touch someone's heart and help someone.

On another note, today I received a letter from Salifu from The Gambia. Remember he is my sponsored child and his birthday is tomorrow the 28th and he will turn 11 years old.  I had sent him $35.00 which turns in to $994.00. I really do not know how much money that is to them but I think it is alot. A little to us goes a looooooooong way to them!! He said that he is going to purchase shoes, clothes, juice, food and he is going to have a birthday party with his friends and neighbors. I love getting letters from Salifu and I know he LOVES getting letters in return 100 times more. I would like to ask you all a HUGE favor. You all are so special and talented and special to me. Are there any of you who would be willing to send Salifu a birthday card? It is ok that it will be late but just think how special Salifu will feel receiving alot of homemade cards from perfect strangers!! I am going  to put his address and contact information down and I would just appreciate it SO much if you could send him something heartfelt. Salifu will keep these cards for the rest of his life and it would mean so so much to him and his family. Here is his info...

Salifu Sanneh
102/013846/00175
Kabafita Family Helper Project
Christian Children's Fund
Private Mail Bag No. 2
Banjul, The Gambia

If you decide to send him a little card you have to put every part of this address on the envelope, otherwise it will not get to him. As you can see Salifu is VERY very important not just to me and my family but to so many others. I just know that in my heart he will be so surprised and excited to get so much attention and love from all of you. So thank you SO so much in advance for sending my sweet boy a happy birthday card.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening. Next week I will pick a winner for my giveaway. So that means you still have time to enter if you have not already. Thank you all so much for becoming new followers of Two Pink Peas and I will get to each and every one of your blogs and follow you too. It just might take a little time to get to all of you. This giveaway has literally blown me away with so many enteries and brand new followers. I mean to go from 50 something to over 200 followers.. WOW!! Amazing! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Good luck and if you don't win, don't worry as I am currently working on another amazing giveaway. I wish I could give each and everyone of you this package and that is the only bad part about this giveaway.

Well, I did not mean to ramble on so long but thank you if you got this far..lol. Please consider sending Salifu a card and please leave me a comment if you decide to send him one. Much love and hugs to you ALL!! ~Terri

P.S. I wanted to tell you that I gave my little purse that I made to my counselor/life coach yesterday and she went NUTS. She could not believe that I did that for her. She immediately gave me the biggest and longest hug and then placed it on her shelf where it will stay. It really meant alot to me that she loved it as much as she did. Thank you for all of your amazing and sweet words about me making that for her. They all mean so much to me!!

My First Project In Weeks Using The Forever Young Cartridge...

Just recently I started seeing a counselor/life coach for various reasons. One being that I never properly grieved my dad's loss. But my last visit was this past Tuesday and I showed her a little picture book of Two Pink Peas and some of my projects featured in this little booklet. I got this book online for 100% free, no shipping or anything. It turned out really great. Anyhow, We were talking about my love of making paper crafts and photography and she saw a picture of this little purse in my book. It had different colors on it but it was the exact same paper and she LOVED it. Actually she wanted to buy one from me right then and there. I don't like to take money from others and I LOVE to give so I made this for her today and will give it to her tomorrow at my appointment. I chose the word Believe because I truly Believe that she can help me get past some things that have bothered me for a long time. Surely I think she is going to be shocked that I made one for her but she is just so amazing and I really like and trust her ALOT so this is the least that I can do for her. Anyhow, I wanted to share it with you all.

If you are wondering this purse came from the Forever Young Cartridge. I used my Gypsy so I could make it as big as my 12" x 12" paper would allow. That is one feature that I absolutely love using the Gypsy, that you can see where the machine is going to cut. I added little round velcro tabs for the closure and then I added a black button on top. The chipboard with the word Believe on it was put on with pop dots. Then I added a few pink gems and of course pink ribbon. I hope she likes it! She has NO idea that I made this for her!! I love to make others happy, I have always been like that since I was younger.

But let me tell you, it was a PAIN in the you know what to drag all of my supplies that have been packed up just to make this. Then I had to put it all away...lol. I really miss having my craft space all set up. I would be making things probably every single day if that were the case. My sweet husband offered to take one of our bedrooms and set up my Two Pink Peas Craft Room in there until we move. I just might take him up on that. I really miss creating with you all!!

Before I go I wanted to thank each and EVERY one of you who have become new followers of Two Pink Peas and that have entered in my giveaway. To be honest, I am shocked at just how many new followers that I have now. It is absolutely amazing. I wish that I could give each and every one of you this set that I am giving away but I promise that I am already working on another amazing giveaway that might even be a little bit bigger. Not 100% yet what it is going to be, but you will want to enter for SURE!! Also, I wanted to thank you all so much for your very sweet comments about my dad. I read each and every one of your comments and they all touch my heart. I feel very lucky to have found so many caring women like all of you. So thank you for following me, entering my giveaway and for leaving me the sweetest comments ever!! I am working on going to each and every one of your blogs so I can follow you back. It might take me some time to get to all of you but I will get there. If you are reading this and have not entered into my giveaway just go to my real Two Pink Peas blog at http://www.twopinkpeas.blogspot.com/ and just scroll down and you will see it. This is one giveaway that you do not want to miss.

I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow and I will talk to you all very soon!! ~Terri
