Change in Plans

I always have the best intentions ......but I've fallen short again.  I think maybe I should be learning something from this but I'm not sure what.  Oh well, moving on.  My plan was to offer some major blog candy this weekend.  But between Dave being sick and everything else I've not been able to post the details. So, we'll improvise.

If you'd like to win a copy of the five pages (Hippo, Lion, Ladybug, Reindeer & Bear) of my punch book leave a comment on this post.  I'll draw a name on Tuesday.   And, I have a small favor....I need some testimonials for my Chic Stand.  I've gotten hundreds of emails about how much you all love it.  But, when I get a comment that says "It just looks like foam" or "whats the big deal" ...it throws me for a loop.  So, if you have the Chic Stand and want to post your comment about that it would be great.  I'm going to compile them and create a spot on my blog for them.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see ya on Tuesday.

I would love to have the 5 punch pages you are offering! You do such a wonderful job on your videos & all of your projects. The pages would be a bonus for me!! The animals are just too cute!

Hi Angie! Count me in on your 5-punch page give-away!

As for your Chic Stand......I have an original ChicStand that I PROUDLY display on my craft desk and always travels with me to my crops and mania's. It is always the talk of the room when I'm crafting-someone always comes up and ask me "what's that?" - then you will hear squeals of JOY when they realize it holds my paper piercer and needle. Angie-you designed a fabulous tool and someday....I'll breakdown and buy one of your new stands.....LOVE THEM! Kadie

Hi Angie, I also really like the Chic Stand. I bought the new one. I previously used a hand punch to make the holes but found it hard to center them. Having the Chic Stand with my needles and paper piercer on my craft table is a time saver and the holes are always centered. Thank you!

The Chic Stand is a wonderful and very useful TOOL!

[Cathy Jenquin]

I recently discovered your blog and love it. I check it everyday because I don't want to miss anything.

These punched animals are absolutely adorable! I hope to make a few this weekend.

Hi Angie,

Thank you again for these wonderful punch art animals. Each one is cuter than the last! I'd love to win the pages, but even if I don't, I will use the videos and have such fun. Of course, this means I need to order more punches!

You are so generous to share these adorable ideas with us!

I don't have a chicstand, but I can tell you what I would love about it. It's on my wishlist.
I love that the needle or paper piercer stands up in the chicstand, which it can't in other piercing mats. Plus, I love that it makes putting brads in much easier, by being thick enough to pierce a hole and then push the brad through without ever picking up the paper.

[Wilda Cogar]

Your punch animals are adorable!!!
I love how you are so willing to share w/ the rest of us.
I don't have the stand but I've debated on ordering it for awhile. I think I'm more convinced now :)

The punches that you offer are the best. I love them. Please enter me in the drawling for them.

I have bought 2 of your Chick Stand's and I love them they are the best. It makes life a whole lot easier. Thank you so much for making them. It's a great idea.

Thanks again for everything you do.

I hope your husband gets better soon.

Hello,

I really like your work. I allways expect something new everymorning.
You and your work make me a beautiful day.

Thanks very much.

I love all the punch critters - especially the teddy bear and the lion.
Also, RE: the Chic Stand - I think it's a great idea. Mine sits on my table at all times so that I know exactly where my piercers are. I don't worry about losing them or (yikes) getting pricked by them - um, yes, my work table sort of disappears under all the paper bits & completed embellies, embossing powders, glitter, well, you know. I also use it for centering circular pieces that I want lined up correctly. I thoroughly used my first Chic Stand, then turned it over and completely used that side, too. Now I'm on my second one!
Hope your husband feels better SOON. I know that it's difficult when your significant other is out of action. My husband is out for the next few months with a broken foot. So hang in there :-)

Hi Angie,
These Punch animals are adorable!! I love to send get well cards to people on the prayer list at our church. It's hard to think of something appropriate for children. These are perfect for my kid cards. I would be ecstatic if I were to win a copy of your animal punch pages. Thank you for a chance to win. And, thanks for sharing ALL your wonderful ideas.

I have the first chic stand and luv it. Haven't ordered the new one--yet! I could see if the new one is larger then that would be a great improvement, however the older one is "travel" size so it's great to take along to crops, etc.
Luv, Luv, Luv the punch animals. I can't imagine why anyone would say "what's the big deal?". I totally appreciate your creativity and most of all the fact that you share it with all of us all the time. Thanks a million!!

[Shawness]

I would love the punch pages. I don't have a chic stand but I am sure it is a wonderful tool.

[Samantha]

I just found your blog a couple of days ago and am HOOKED! These punch animals are too cute!!! Im going to order and chic stand too...It looks so functional!
Thanks for everything!

[Susan]

I love your punch art animals! And I have to second what everyone has said about the Chic Stand - I have the first version and I use it ALL the time, for my paper piercing needs!

I love these punch art animals and a chance to win is great...thanks

[Sharon]

I love your punch art animals! And I love my Chic Stand too! It has made my crafting more enjoyable but I can't tell you why! I just love it!

[Iffy / Steffi]

I follow your blog for more than a year and I LOVE what you craft and that you share these wonderful things with us.

I don't own a chic stand, but I'm curious to own one some day.

Hugs

I LOVE punches!........ My husband calls me the Punch Queen
I'm always looking for fun ways to use them. You have some wonderful ideas. To win something is always fun but to win Punch Book pages would be the best.

[Emma]

I think those little punch animals are adorable being that I am an animal lover myself.

Now about your chicstands, I absolutely love them, "WHEN" I rise above this horrible recession we are going through, I do plan on purchasing a chic stand for everyone who takes my classes as one of their thank you gifts for supporting me. That means that I would have to purchase "13" of them. I know they will appreciate them as much as I do!
Thanks,
Emma :)
