My Pink Candy Giveaway, Winner, and Update

August 8th, 2016

Happy Monday Everyone!

It’s been a crazy busy weekend for me.  I hope you have had a great one!  I wanted to share this week’s Pink Candy Giveaway!  I absolutely LOVE the Foxy Friends Stamp Set & Matching Punch so I thought I would give a set away!

**************
Last Wednesday through Saturday we had a Cardon Family Reunion up in the mountains of Southern Utah.  It was GORGEOUS and we had a BLAST!  I think I needed a break from my house and to be with family.  Here are some of our fun pictures.  The Cardons are something else!  Cheesy, funny, and absolutely the BEST!  We celebrated my father in law’s 80th birthday!  My inlaws have 11 children, 11 children in law, 69 grandchildren, and I believe they have 16-20 great grandchildren already!!  WOW!!!  There are a total of 13 of us on my side of the family including grandkids!  
(All 11 of my inlaw’s children were there.  They played Family Fued answering questions about their father.)
******************
Yesterday, my good friend, Laura, passed away after dealing with colon cancer for almost 3 years.  She will be greatly missed.  The past 3 weeks have been super sad for a lot of us.  I am so grateful that she was in my life.  Because of her I am a better person today.  Love you my sweet Laura……  until we meet again.

Hugs,
Robyn

    I'm so sorry about your friend! The plan of salvation is a wonderful and comforting thing. I know Heavenly Father will give you and her family peace and strength! I am so glad you got to experience my beautiful southern utah. I am so blessed to live here! I love this stamp set! I would love to win!

  3. Kara says

    I know I've said it a few times already, but I'm dying for you to do a class with this set even though it doesn't have any sentiments! I just love it so much!!

    So sorry to hear about your friend's passing. I have also lost people near and dear to me this year and it is hard. 🙁 praying for comfort for you and those who knew and loved her.

  4. Denise says

    Wow what a neat family! My side has just 10 with maybe the first grandkid getting married sometime soon, that would be my sister's kid. Sorry for your loss! Love that you shared pictures of your family reunion, how blessed you are! Loving the fox stamp. Our neighborhood has grey tale foxes that try to run wild. But they aren't as cute as this fox set. God bless you and your family!

    I love this fox set! I just signed up for my first online class with you – the Puppy & Kitty class. Can't wait to get my package in the mail from you 🙂

  7. Mama Bird says

    First, I'm so sorry to hear of your friend's passing. Second, it looks like you had a great time with your family. Life is such a mixture of sadness and joy, isn't it?

    Thanks for the chance to win this cute, cute stamp set.

    Hi Robyn! I am a fellow SU demonstrator in Alberta, Canada, and I recently "discovered" your blog – I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos and projects and congratulate you on your success! I'm so very sorry to hear of your friend's passing. May she rest in peace.

    Congrats to last week's winners! This is such an awesome giveaway this week! I am, however, so sorry to hear of your friend's passing. It just doesn't make sense to us when God takes someone who has so much life left to live, but take comfort in knowing that he has a plan and a purpose for her. I lost my best friend when we were 19 and I miss her everyday but it helps when I think about how much God needed her and that she's eternally safe in his world of love and contentment. I'm not sure who wrote this verse but I love it….

    Those we love don't go away.
    They walk beside us every day.

    It provides me with a lot of comfort when I need it. Anyway, thanks again for the awesome giveaway and I'm glad you had such a good time at your family reunion! Have a great day!

  20. Jill Couper says

    I am absolutely loving this set and the card you made. In my scrapbooking circle of friends, it has become a joke about me and foxes because I avoided the What Does the Fox say song and craze for the longest time. So they tease me about foxes all the time and the joke is on them because now I kind of like foxes. LOL
