X-mas Surprise BlogCandy!

[.. This is a sticky post ~ for new posts, please scroll on down! ..]

This is a very special kind of blogcandy as I usually make them last under a month ~ this time around I'm going to treat one of you sweet crafters to such a HUGE Christmas surprise that I'm only opening up one door on the image below each or every other week, for a sneaky peak of the blogcandy, up until the 1st. of December when all will be revealed :) 
 

[.. Image will be updated w. sneakpeaks each time I open a door! ..]

Exited yet??? IF you are on the fence on wether to enter or not, know my candies are always yummy, just take a look at previous ones here :) 
I can promise there will be gorgeous stamps and charms, ribbons and bling, designer papers and other yummy treats ♥ ♥ ♥

THE BIG REVEAL DAY IS HERE!!!

And the extra goodies!

Waiting behind theese doors there is a huge pot of scrapping goodies that's worth about 250,- new ever-growing total is currently: 450,- NOK. Wich equals to about $32 $55 !!!
For every person that enters I will actually throw in something extra to sweeten the pot! Could be a clearstamp or just a ribbon, or some prima flowers, but my scraproom is full ..I tend to hoard.. some might say it looks like a whole shops inventory! So I imagine the winner will end up very happy come christmas time :)

This BlogCandy is open to all my fellow crafters ~ I will ship worldwide ~ and I would sure appreciate it if you were a follower of my blog, but it's not necessary to win though ♥

However, I would be very happy if you could please spread the word by mentioning this candy either with a link and/or photo of it on your own blog (sidebar is fine) or if you have no blog ~ another place, like a pin, instagram, facebook, twitter etc. 
Again, this is not necessary to do to win ~ only if you want to make the blogcandy grow, then it would help if more people knew about it ♥

But please ~ NO 'in it for the Candy only' ~ non-crafty people are not allowed. I will also remove any spam comments or double entries ♥

Now then, make your entry with a comment on this post saying the magic words 'Yes please!' or something similar. And on December 1st. I will put all your names in an imaginary hat and pick a lucky winner who will be getting a craftylicious package for christmas ♥ 
(I'm extending this and will allow entries up until midnight on dec.1st. anywhere in the world ~ so look out for the winner after december 2nd.!)
