Count down to Kitchen Sink Turning ONE!!!!

Can you believe that a year has gone by already??? It seems like it was only yesterday I was introducing myself and my exciting new adventure to the crafting world! On Sept. 25th, Kitchen Sink Stamps will be celebrating its first anniversary!

I have lots of fun planned to help with the count down to the big day.

Yes, … of course I have sneak peeks for you, (4 to be exact)… but, I felt that just wasn’t enough when you are celebrating a First Anniversary! 😀

So… along with today’s sneak peek (and the next 3 peeks after), there will be some kind of give away too! 😀

The rules are pretty simple… You may enter as many give aways as you like, but only one comment per give away. All you have to do is answer the question of the day (at the bottom of this post). All the give aways will end Sept. 23rd (Midnight EST). Winners will be chosen by a random number generator and announced on Sept. 24th … so you, will have to come back to see if you have won anything! 😀

B

Plus, also starting to day, you can get FREE shipping with your order … see HERE for details.

So… on with the first peek !

  8. Ah an apple – I was wondering what 3 step you’d come up with – this should be an interesting set! My favorite flower is a tough one! There are so many it’s hard to choose just one. I guess I’d say Dahlias, though Hydrangeas are second and Daisy’s third. Thanks Maria!

  9. Happy Anniversary!! I have so many favorite flowers and the first to come to mind is the rose, but actually as I thought about it, I will have to say the happy pansy is my favorite. It makes me smile whenever I see them and I am reminded of my great grandmother who grew them and all summer would display them on a stand beside her front door. Thanks for allowing me to have this sweet memory.

    Believe it or not, carnations are my favorite flowers for a few reasons:
    (1) I am highly allergic and carnations aren’t overly fragrant;
    (2) They come in an entire rainbow of colors, and I love color, and
    (3) They aren’t too expensive so it is easy to get LOTS of them.
