THIS CANDY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING :)
I'm celebrating my 10 year anniversary with my fiancée on thursday dec. 4:th! And what better way to celebrate than to let you all share the love by offering some blogcandy! The theme of this candy will - of course - be LOVE, to celebrate us and just in time for Valentine's. There are some rules though, so pay attention ;)
The candy starting out is a PB clear hedgiestamp+text. For every person that joins I will add something (within reason) so the more you spread the word the bigger the candy will be. Love gets bigger the more you share it, right?! You can earn an extra entry if you write about someone else's candy or a DT call. It has to be a new candy or DT call though, (nothing I or any of the other participants has written about.)
Here's what you need to do:
1. Make a NEW post on your blog writing only about this candy. Make sure to mention that it is to celebrate my 10:th anniversary and that the more people that join the bigger the candy will be (I hope I'm not in over my head here, lol) If you don't have a blog you can join too, let's spread the love.
2. Leave a comment under this post linking back to your blogpost. If you want an extra entry write about someone else's candy or DT call (that hasn't already been mentioned)
3. (optional) Write a suggestion on what to do to celbrate, what to get eachother, any other tips you might have. Boys are so hard to shop for!
Make a comment under this post ONLY if you want to join the candy (leave just one comment so it's easier for me to draw a winner later. If you want to leave another comment then please erase your old one, thank you). I have decided to leave the candy open a couple of days extra, so it will close on january 4:th, exactly one month after our 10:th anniversary. I will draw the winner shortly after that. The winner needs to contact me within a week or I will draw a new winner...Come back from time to time to see if the candy has grown :)
Spread the word and good luck!
EDIT Here's what I have found in my stash so far. Don't know if it looks that impressive, but it's a little of everything you might need for your Valentine cards; brads, shapes, eyelets etc. I also added two extra UM stamps and will look if I have some nice ribbons too (don't hold your breath on that one though ;)
I'm planning on enclosing some paper-things too, maybe some cuttlebugshapes etc. I guess you'll have to wait and see what I come up with.
Everything will be sent in a lovebag (not done by me, so I can't take the credit):
I know a lot of you are fans of the hÄngar stamps, so I'm sending some love-images from that line and also from Penny Black.

It looks like I'm the first to comment - woohoo!
I posted about your candy, and also left a link in my CandyBar at The Paper Freak (direct link to post).
Another candy you should check out is Artfully Ila.
My husband is hard to get gifts for, too. He really loves stuff I make for him, though. One year for Valentine's I made him a card and a match book full of "matches" that were coupons for stuff like a date planned by me, a book of his choice, etc (and a few unmentionable ones). >;)
Hi Katrina thanks for entering my candy and as you can see i am now entering yours too i love the candy you have gorgeous hedgie stamp and fab sentiment. Sorry i have no ideas for a pressie i find it hard to get things for my DH too. I have posted about your candy Here.

Hi!
My congratulations! 10 years IT'S GREAT. Let it be multiplied by 10 more.
Here is good idea that I had for my husband. I've made "box of love" : it was box nicely decorated and inside were putting 100 paper hearts where I wrote why DO I LOVE him. Hope it will help you.

Congrats!!!
It's always difficult to find presents, so we (me & my fiancè) decided always to have some trip as a present. It doesn't matter where, close or far... The main is to be together & bring a lot of new memories.

Hi Katrina! Happy anniversary! I posted here.
I will tell you about the candy, I'm sure no one knows about, it is my own first blog candy, that will be posted on my blog tomorrow or, Friday.
Have a great day
Vanja
Hi Katarina, I've just found your great blog and I love your blog candy idea, it's for such a wonderful reason! I hope this candy doesn't get bigger than you can manage LOL! I've linked your candy in my sidebar where it will stay until it ends. I have a blog candy to share which I don't think you've already mentioned Elzybells Advent Calender, a candy every day until Christmas!
An idea for a gift isn't easy for a man but how about one of those boys experience days, where they can drive a racing car and other similar stuff or a lovely dinner and the theatre is always a favourite of mine for celebrations.
Chris :)
Hi Katarina!
Congrats on your anniversary!
I think you should celebrate by going to a spa for a weekend and get a couple's massage. Another suggestion is going away to a bed & breakfast for a weekend.
On my way to post the candy on my blog.
Congrats on your anniversary Katarina! My idea for a present would combine your crafting skills with a lot of memories. How about making a mini album, celebrating the wonderful times you and your sweetie have had over the years?! That, and a special candle-lit dinner sounds wonderful to me!
Loving your card designs! Happy Anniversary to you and thanks for giving us a chance to win this darling stamp!
As for a present, how about giving him 10 each of some of his favorite things...to signify your 10 years together?!! You can combine things to eat and drink with things to do or his hobbies! Have fun with it!!

Hi Katarina.
Well congratulations on your 10th Anniversary.
I think you may be in over your head - you already have 31 comments and I think this may grow substantially ! lol good luck. I am sure everyone won't mind you putting a limit on !
I have linked you in my side bar here: inspiration
As for what you could do for your anniversary, depending if you like this sort of thing, but I think it is really romantic and enjoyable if you go for a massage but a couple's massage ! And no girls this is not naughty! You just have two ladies massaging you both at the same time, so you can relax together and share the experience, but the ambience of the room (if it is a good place) is rally lovely. Some even make a day of it for you and champagne etc.. Then neither of you have to worry about a present for the other and you are sharing the experience.
Phew. ! Why do I talk so much even on comments ! lol!
Here's hoping and wishing for your blog candy!
Hugs
Julie
Congratulations on your anniversary! I have linked your candy here:

For the last one you need to leave a comment at the tutorial post for the last of the "12 tags of Christmas".
Last but not least, to celebrate the occasion you could get each other T-shirts printed (or Polonecks embroidered for a more classy look). The motif could be related to a hobby you share. That will remind you throughout the year...
Ohh, what a good idea :)
Ive added you to my blog :)
Congrats on the 10yrs, some people dont make it that long!! lol so enjoy anything you do :)

Congratulations on your anniversary Katarina! I don't have a blog but I'd love to have a chance at your fab candy!
What a great candy! I'd like to win it, but I don't have a blog. I hope this isn't a problem for you.
I wish you a very creative 2009!
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary!)

Congrats on your 10th Anniversary.
A gift/idea suggestion: my hubby and I gave each other 10 things. 5 have to be homemade and the other 5 little gifts. My hubby made 5 cards for me with each one giving a clue to what one of the gifts were. The 5 gifts, little charms to remind me of different things we have shared. (one was the #10, one was our two little girls,a house-we moved into our brand new house a week later, our initials, and a letter-he is a mailman.
I still wear that bracelet every day. And that was almost 10 years ago.
Hi Katarina and Congratulations on your 10th anniversary.
I've added your link to my blog at: http://sarastamper.blogspot.com/2008/12/katarinas-blog-candy-happy-10th.html
Pressie ideas depend on how much you have left to spend after providing the candy LOL. How about tickets to something you both enjoy (concert, gig, theatre) so you get a bit of together time too.
Best wishes for the next 10 years.
Sara
Hi Katarina,

What a great way to celebrate. My suggestion would be to get a massage together then have an evening/day out on the town just the two of you:) Enjoy. Since MY blog isn't up YET I've emailed my girlfriends about your celebration and giveaway. Thanks, jerryb17011@yahoo.com
!Felicidades! My wife and I look forward to a cruise on our 10th (w/out the little ones). Maybe that would be a nice getaway! I've advertised your sucess to the women in my life. Good luck, jerroldbeck@yahoo.com

Here is a contest that ends 1/5 for a smart shopper, something any woman who runs errands can use!

Hi and congratulations! Ten years is certainly something to celebrate. Here's an idea for you: Name a star for him (or the two of you). My daughter got this as a gift for her 18th birthday, and it was purchased for her at a place that sent a certificate and star map. I found this link for you and it looks like you can do it for free. Check it out at: http://www.freenameastar.com/.
Hope that sounds fun to you guys!
Sorry for entering anonymously. I am kind of new to reading blogs-it's totally addictive-and still have lots to learn. I hope I can still be considered for your blog candy.
In the meantime, have fun planning your special celebration! Just the anticipation can bring much joy.
