Appreciation
I sincerely appreciate each of you who stop by, browse and visit the blog! I try to make it a welcome spot that shares fun projects that I have worked on. Recently, I've liked sharing tips and techniques that I've discovered along the way to make crafting fun and easy for you. I plan to continue that element of the blog and will expand it a bit more once the new website is finalized. Speaking of the new site, it will probably be completed by the end of summer or so.
In case you don't know, I read each comment left on my blog. I may not have the time or opportunity to reply back, but please know that I read them. On the future site, I hope to have a bit more interaction with my readers to communicate with ease about paper crafting stuff!
So, thanks to you all, I'm offering my personal Papertrey Ink Limited Edition 3rd Anniversary stamp sets just for you!

Wow, Ashley!! What a fabulous giveaway.
Our summer plans involve lots of swimming at the pool and getting my husband through with his MBA classes. I hope we survive!
Wow!! Ashley, this is such a generous giveaway!
Well, summer has just gone by for us in India... and I had been busy with my little boy.. but now that school has reopened (and it is monsoon time here), I am planning to utilize my days in crafting and shopping ;-) and maybe do a class in Calligraphy (fingers crossed!)...
big hugs and thank you once again,
Smita
PS: Congrats to whoever wins, in advance [I know I never win LOL]
What a great giveaway, Ashley! My summer plans are to move across the country after my hubby retires from the USAF(next week). Then go to my son's wedding, hold my first grandchild (other son's) and celebrate 25 years of marriage with my hubby! Just another summer? Nope! Have a great day!!!
Sweet! Love your blog. Our summer plans are summer camp (hopefully stamping time for mom), and trips to NY and the beach and hanging with our neighborhood friends.
We usually go to Hawaii for summer vacation, but this year Hawaii is coming to us, with may visitors staying with us during the summer.
My summer plans will include lots of lake time to stay cool and enjoy my family this summer. Kind of low key, but relaxing.

We are planning a trip to Seattle starting on the July 4th weekend. We've never been stateside for the 4th of July and are really looking forward to it...hmmm...wonder if the hotel would accept a shipment from PTI...

Wow, thanks for this opportunity!
I don't really have any exciting plans for the summer yet. My birthday is in July, so hopefully I can do something nice. And I have some family that will be visiting, but i'm not sure when exactly. Other than that, i'm just playing it by ear. :)

I wish i am one of the lucky ducks :D
I subscribed to your blog when you appeared at Papertrey and I love your works.
Summer plans include enjoying the sun, waiting for garden produce and hopefully a week relaxing at the beach.
I just had a baby girl (my second child) a week ago so I imagine my summer plans include getting to know this little angel & playing with her and her big brother! Also going to my family's camp on the lake! :)
Thanks for the chance!
I just graduated last Saturday and I'm starting up graduate school in the middle of August, so I'm guessing my summer plans include doing a lot of absolutely nothing!
I have been visiting your blog ever since the beginning I think and am more of a lurker than a commenter. I love the new tutorials you have been doing and am in the process of making the crinkle ribbon you showed.
As for summer I plan to spend my time making cards, scrapbooking and looking for a job. We will also take a few trips to visit with familiy and maybe just some day trips too.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow Ashley, this is a great giveaway!!!! My summer plans are around my boys... maybe camping, fishing, Six Flags, movies, and swimming at the pool!
What an amazing prize! I didn't find PTI until this year so I wasn't able to get that stamp set.
My summer plans are to travel as much as possible. We have one more year left in Europe so want to take advantage of that.
I intend to spend lots of time outside under a shady umbrella enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
I just discovered your blog during your time with Papertrey and have continued to throughly enjoy your cards and blog. Thanks for sharing your talents. Summer means golf,antique trips, swimming, friends and family. So far the weather hasn't been too cooperative, but there's still hope.
WooHoo! My Summer plans include going to CHA in Chicago. Can't wait.
This summer includes lots of swimming before the BP oil hits Florida then it will be the pool for the rest of the summer. I will also start rainy evening crafts with the kids home....
Ashley, it's always a treat to come by yer blog, you are always so creative and I seriously think you have mastered the art of crafting, hehe. This is awesome, thanks for the chance to win!
Hugs
Clouds :D
What fun Ashley!! Summer plans include a family reunion in Colorado in July. It has to be cooler than Texas at that time.
I always enjoy the way you showcase your craftiness in wonderful photos.
love yoru blog and your site- can't imagine it getting better in the revamp!
I am heading to Vegas for a work trip and bringing my husband, as instructed by my boss- yeah me or should I say yeah us! Then two weeks after that we're on vacation at our cabin for a week- looking forward to it but once that ends, summer is practically over.
I love the stamp giveaways and I don't have any of them, so it's almost perfect for me to win :)
This is so generous of you, Ashley! I enjoy your blog so much and always leave inspired! As for summer plans, I will be taking my kids on a road trip to visit with family in the Midwest.
Ashley, what an amazing giveaway! I have you on my google reader so I won't miss a post. Our plans for the summer are to take lots of walks and bike rides and enjoy the outdoors. I do also need to do some painting on the house.
Ashley...what a sweet giveaway! Summer plans include lazy days at the beach, summer cookouts and overall a renewal of family time together! Thanks for the chance at one of these amazing sets!
Karen
Thanks Ashley! I enjoy reading your blog daily and especially like your tips and tricks!
Summer plans include to ride the Harley with my husband and take in as much history here on the East coast as we can before we get transferred away from the area.
This is so great. I only discovered PTI late last year, so I didn't get a chance to earn this set, but it looks fabulous. My summer plans include making homemade ice cream, shopping at the farmer's market, hanging out at the pool, writing, and of course, making cards! Thanks again for the chance at this giveaway.
Our plans for the summer include selling a house and moving (fun, fun), and using our new (to us) camper and truck to explore the great outdoors. We have a special camping trip planned with friends in July to go clamming and crabbing. Also, lots of potlucks with our church family - yum!
Wow... a really generous and great giveaway!! Thank you for the chance to win!
This summer we are staying home. can you believe that??? But we would rather save our pennies and do a few stay-cations then travel anywhere. Our plans include a visit from my parents, lots of bbqs, a road trip to niagra falls and assembling a chicken coop! Should be lots of fun! Hope you have a great time too!
thanks again
k
This summer I am going to try and finish our wedding scrapbook, finally! and some beach time up in Maine..can't wait!
Thanks for the chance!
Hopefully we get to see my BIL & SIL in Texas. We couldn't make it last year so hopefully this year we can make it!
Thanks for always have something amazing to look at and this awesome blog candy!
My summer plans? Three weeks today, my boyfriend and I will be leaving Manchester Airport, in grey old England, and jetting over to your side of the Atlantic for 10 nights in New York. It'll be the third we've been, and we both love it! It's so different from where we live, and such a fast, vibrant city. We've done the big touristy stuff over the last few years, and are looking forward to seeing some places off the beaten track this time. And the baseball! We're off to see the Cyclones at Coney Island. Twice!
On a craft-related note, I've discovered there's a branch of Michaels a few blocks away from the hotel - I swear it wasn't planned - and I'm looking forward to exploring InkPad NYC in Greenwich Village! I'm also hoping to get my hands on some Papertrey stuff while I'm over - the projects always look fab with their stuff!
Love the blog, and thanks for the generous giveaway! Mo x
Gosh ! How generous - thank you !
I will be spending a chunk of my summer making cards as I need LOTS ! In August, I plan to start selling them at work to raise funds for the Tearfund project MAKE LIFE FLOW (you can go watch a video about their work here - http://www.tearfund.org/Make+Life+Flow/ - you will be moved)
I also plan to spend time with my nearly-4 and her daddy, just livin'. Can't wait!
Thanks again - I love your work. you are on my daily inspiration list !
How generous of you! Our summer plans started the first weekend of June; we celebrated 2 milestones in our family: my Dad's 90th birthday, and my parents' 65th wedding anniversary! We actually got our whole family together (which happens so rarely) and it was a wonderful reunion and time. AND our first grandson, 13 months old, took his first unaided steps at the party! How's that for the topper on the cake??? Evidently he was waiting for an audience :)
I have just discovered PTI stamps and would love to win these.
What a great set of stamps! Our summer plans are enjoying the beach in FL this week with my in-laws and some time with other family in KY before heading "home". Hope that you have a wonderful summer too. It goes by way too fast!
First, I have to say I look forward to receiving your blog post email daily. Your cards are such an artful inspiration to me..Thanks for sharing your talent. My..well our summer plans are to spend as much time together as a family exploring/adventuring our state parks/beaches/etc. During the course of the school year it's hard to just spend quite quality time together.
I'm a relative newbie to PTI stamps and your blog, but I have loved all the inspiration found here!
Wow Ashley! What an awesome giveaway! I have really enjoyed reading your blog and all the tips and tricks along with the YUMMY food you make! When your name is highlighted black in my reader, it is the first thing I click on! Plans for this summer? Try and enjoy every second of it before it is gone!
Ashly - you are so sweet to have these fabulous prizes! Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to make our days extra special! This summer we will be doing a stay-cation - lots of family picnics, neighborhood progressive dinners, chillin on the patio and playing with the 2 year old grandson.
Wow what nice giveaways ! You're blog is so nice :-)
Wow, what an awesome giveaway! We are going to be busy building our new home this summer, with the foundation getting started in one week from today. I'm so excited!

I've been following your blog on my google reader for some time now and I absolutely LOVE your work. I really appreciate the time you take to put step by step instructions for every project! Thanks for the great give-away! This summer we're busy with home renos. We're tearing out our kitchen and remodeling the entire thing!! It's going to be insanely busy!
hi there, your blog is really great as well as the embellish magazine. My summer plans including spending time with my parents who are coming from Brazil for a visit, making some cards and working on custom orders and maybe having a date or two with my hubby now that we will have babysitters. Oh, maybe we will go down to the beach too!!! :) I love summertime. :) thanks for the give away.
This summer we are having a family reunion at my aunt and uncle's house!! I can't wait!

What a great prize! My summer plans include moving from Seattle to Kentucky... and whatever fun stuff we can find along the way! Thanks for a chance to win! :)
Luckily I don't have to work over the summer (I love being a teacher!), so I will probably do lots of crafting and practicing viola and piano. Thanks for the giveaway!
Well, school was officially out for the summer as of noon today, PST. Our plans for summer consist of many trips to the beach, swimming, bbqs, hangin' with family & friends and stamping - lots of stamping - just plain ol' fun! Thanks for the chance to win ;)
Would love those stamps, too cool! And thanks for allowing int'l winners. I don't have any "summer" plans b/c I'm in the southern hemisphere, but I am very excited about skiing this winter and have plans of skiing while my children are in preschool on Wednesdays!
What a fabulous giveaway! This is my first year teaching, so I am looking forward to having a glorious 2 months off! I hope to spend my days gardening, reading and relaxing!
Nicole
Summer for us will be fun, full of swimming and wedding plans for my brother! Gardening and fresh flowers will also be apart of our daily routine as well as a little well deserved time off! It is already extremely hot here in southern VA, so the pool is already calling our names!!!!
What a wonderful way to start off summer, Thank you. My plans for summer are starting off with the best trip ever. All the Loonie Girls are meeting up for a 5 day excursion packed with fun, shopping and Twilight just outside Toronto!
Oh wow--Ashley:) THANKS for the chance to win! This would be my first PTI stash--I have been drooling over PTI items...but I just haven't had enough saved up yet!
For summer....I plan on just crafting and getting some scrapbook pages done. I just started scrapbooking (in March), and I'm hooked:) Just like making cards;)
I am also planning on heading to the beach often--we live very close--and the water was so nice and warm this weekend (about 80). LOOOOOOOVED it! I would like to learn how to play golf too--my husband has been begging me to play!
Thanks again for the chance to win:)
Can't wait to see your new design! I have no doubt it will be a pleasure to read. As for th summer, we plan to do some small camping trips here and there with the kids, but otherwise stay around town and have fun at the parks & beaches.
I love my daily visits to your blog. Plan on taking advantage of the longer days to play and create with paper, ink and embellishments.
You are so kind to share such prized items. My summer plans consist of picking blueberries until I turn blue, girls trip to the N GA mountains and CHA Supershow! Otherwise, I will be trying hard not to spend money so I can shop in Chicago. Thanks for the chance to win.
Summer plans always include the water, whether by the pool or at the lake! You are so generous Ashley! I would visit yousr site whether you offered prizes or not!!
Ashley,
I am relatively new to scrapbooking and just started to make cards. I discovered your blog recently and love it! Your ideas are creative and inspiring and your recipes might get me cooking again! This summer I plan to love and spoil my first grandbaby, Lily. She is the miracle that makes my everyday. Thanks for the opportunity to win PTI stamps. Karin
Hey Ashley,
Thanks so much for all your great ideas! This summer, I plan to work (some), read (a lot), and catch up on making cards (mostly!) Have a great one and thanks for the continued inspiration!
Hi Ashley! We're going to Disneyland in August, we got a one day pass from joining Disney's Give a day, get a day :) Thanks for sharing your goodies to us.
Summer plans.... survive until summer LOL! It's not a bad day today but the last few were miserably bleak. By Australian standards, anyway :)
Thank you for the giveaway and for the inspiration offered on other days.
Ashley, I really enjoy reading your blog! I can't wait every day to see what you have to share. My plans for the summer are an absolutely awesome trip to Germany and France! Cannot wait!
Hey girl! What a great giveaway! One can never have enough PTI!

Busy, but still plenty of time for crafting!
Hi Ashley, thanks for sharing your talent.

What a wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My summer plans are to spend every possible minute with our newly adopted puppy, Cooper!
Thank you so much for a great opportunity to win! So generous. Plans this summer are minimal as I'm out of work but we will be going to my 20 year high school reunion and we might do a quick road trip to (Canadian) wine country and visit some family there. Hope you have a great summer and thanks again!
So generous to give away these coveted anniversary PTI sets! LOL. We are planning a trip to Cabo San Lucus in July followed by a family trip to Branson!
Sweet prizes!! You have a great site and you deserve all your followers!! I remember how it was back in the days when we all started... except that you're way more dedicated than I am in the blogging dept :P
My summer... they're all up in the air but it's ranging from local sights to driving hubby to some training academy in Germany in August. We'll see how comfortable I feel about going from right to left driving and back to right and if the dogs can get their passports by then. I know, exotic, huh :P
My summer plans are always the same - don't you love family traditions? We all gather together from everywhere on Captiva Island, Florida. Sunsets over the ocean, drinks on the beach, morning swims in the pool, nights talking on the screened porch. LOVE IT!
What a great prize! Thank you!
My summer plans are pretty mellow. My husband is usually in Iraq, and this is the first summer he's been home in ages so we're just taking it easy. The summer will be filled with family gatherings, horseback riding lessons, the beach (or as close as Nashville has to a beach the lake..lol) and that's it. Good times, though!
Wonderful giveaway and thank you for your amazing blog. The amount of work you put into it and you love of paper crafting is evident here.
This summer, we have quite a few birthdays to celebrate so we'll have parties for those and also, the man & I are planning a trip to Busch Gardens (VA) this summer. That's about it.
On the 21st my husband and I will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Our children are coming from Atlanta and Braintree, MA to spend the weekend with us: the best gift of all! I will also be helping to cover our church office for 5 or 6 weeks while our secretary recovers from surgery, and in general, enjoying the end of the snow season and the warm weather! I love your blog which I discovered recently and have you on an RSS feed.
I absolutely love your blog...thanks for posting all your creations.
My summer plans include relaxing, making cards and having fun with family and friends. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Hello ACN!! What an awesome way to appreciate us commentators ;) Hey, my 2010 vacation was a 14 day Caribbean cruise in Feb so this summer will be pretty low key, but low key is my faaaavourite because I get to catch up with my gal pals and spend time with my family sincerely enjoying the simple things in life AND I have three Fridays booked off and have scheduled my little one to be AT the babysitter so salon and scrappin' will be the order of the day!! ME TIME, woot! woot!!

Our summer plans include a trip down to Legoland; Kalino's fav place and visit my family in New Mexico. Granted, no tickets have been purchased yet, but these are the plans.
Thank you for the chance to win a great set of stamps. We've already done our traveling, so our plans for the rest of the summer is to enjoy being at home and entertaining friends.
Oh how fun! I only started order Papertrey late in the year so I didn't get one! Thanks so much for the chance!!!
Blessings,
Christine
Summer plans?? The first one is just canceled. My sun seams to have a animal hair allergy so the small farm holiday is not anymore on our list. So, 1 week in Romania to my parents, 1 week near Dresden to my parents in law and another week in Greece or Italy.
Thanks for the chance to win those gorgeous stamps.
You are so sweet!! I love visiting your blog every morning while sipping a cup of coffee :) Your creations give my mojo a jump start!!!
This summer my husband & I celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We will be going away for a week ALONE, without our 2 boys :) Looking forward to some relaxation & peace!!!
We live away from family, so our summer plans involve having an annual "sister week" together (my 3 sisters and I) spent in Williamsburg, Va. , I'll be traveling for work to Portland Oregon for a AFIS fingerprint conference, and looking forward to the Valley Forge Creating Keepsakes Convention in July! Probably some other trips, too. Love summer!
Awfully generous of you....those are awesome!!!
I LOVE SUMMER!!!! I plan to spend time with family and friends to enjoy the most important thing......THEM! Hopefully, I can get a couple more getaways in before summer ends as well. Also, to start next month on Christmas crafts.....yes, Christmas. I always wait to the last minute and get overwhelmed during the season.
Thanks.
I so enjoy visiting your blog daily --your creations always give me such inspiration. We're not planning any big trips this summer, but it will be a fun one filled with card making, scrap booking, crafting with my family and neighbors, and of course, barbecues! Hope you have a delightful summer!
What a wonderful giveaway. I love PTI stamps... This summer we are going to spend some time in Massachusetts. I'm hoping it will be a lot cooler then here in North Carolina. Then in August all my children and grandchildren will come to visit. It will be wonderful to have them all together again.
What an awesome giveaway!
Our summer plans are to survive potty training my son - ack! No really, we have a trip to MI to hang out at the lake house with family, newphews coming to stay with us for a week and lots of pool time. I love summer!
Awesome giveaway! Our Summer will be very laid back. We will mostly go to the pool and the boys will take golf lessons.
Hope yours is super!
are summer will be pretty busy as our 3 yr old will keep us hopping w/ pool visits, play dates, etc. We are heading to Hawaii in a couple of weeks-- I cannot wait for all of the breathtaking photo opps!
Thanks for this Ashley-- I'm loving your blog right now especially with the food additions!
Oh my goodness, what a generous give-a-way! My summer plans are a stay-cation next week. My husband and I usually go away each year when our son goes to camp, but this year we decided to stay home and enjoy the house all to ourselves. We plan on visiting the newly renovated art museum, dining out, hiking, and watching a couple romantic movies. Then later this summer we plan on spending a week in Lake Tahoe California. And at the end of the summer we will spend a few days at Carolina Beach. Ah...looking forward to all the relaxing! :)
Hi Ashley. This is a wonderful give away and thank you for blogging. I really appreciate your work. You are very talented.
As for our summer plans, they consist of a lot of camps and classes and birthday parties. This week alone we have: basketball camp, golf league and lessons, 3 baseball games and VBS. Sad to say this is all for one child.
Thanks again for sharing your work with us.

Ashley, What a nice way to show appreciation, I'd love to win these stamps.
My summer is going to be spent going boating and having fun with family and friend. Shari
Unfortunately my summer will be spent with doctors, probably some hospital visits and lots of medications. It won't be the fun summer I was looking forward to as I was just diagnosed with Lupus. On the plus side I'll be home a lot with plenty of time to stamp and read all my favorite blogs. LOL There was a big neighborhood reunion planned in August with all my childhood friends, I'm just praying I'm well enough to attend that! Thanks for the chance to win... they would sure come in handy!
Wow..thanks for the great giveaway.
Summer plans...hang out at home by the pool!
Charmaine
We just moved, so our summer funds have gone to a new washer, lawn mower, and all the other joys of moving - and it was only across town! But, now I have a back yard that the kids can play in, so hopefully I'll be getting some card making and sewing done. Well, at least that's what I want to do. We'll see.
Sweet giveaway!
We plan on going camping as much as possible, swimming, dirtbiking, boating. My garden is in full swing, so you'll probably find me there!
Love your stuff, Ashley!
Wow! What a great chance! Well, I need a couple of weeks to re-organize and paint my scrapbooking room. Then, we have plans and hopes to visit Machu Picchu...crossing fingers! Enjoy your summer!
My summer plan is to have a romantic night away from home for me and my hubby. We will be celebrating our 10th year anniversary. Also I want to go to the beach more than last year. We only went once and I'm going to try for three times this year.
Awesome giveaway Ashley...thanks for the chance to get some PTI inky. My summer plans are to watch my redheaded 4yo DGD for 2 weeks. DH and I are soooo longing to hearing those sweet little giggles and the sounds of 'papa, bama' as she stays with us.
KellyRae
Thanks for the chance at this giveaway. I love visiting your blog, just great inspiration.
My summer will be spent with DH in school to graduate in August 2010 then hopefully getting a job after being unemployed for 3 yrs. New career at 50 yrs old.
We also will celebrate in August our 25th wedding anniversary with a delayed celebration after employment.
Thanks for the chance to win some PTI...its winter here in Western Australia but its always "sunny" in our home :0)
Winter for us means hubby works less so we get to spend some quality time together with our 10yo daughter and 3yo son!
Hoping to go down to Busselton and Margaret River for some weekends with the kids...so much to do down there, tourist caves, canal rocks, beautiful coastal and inland drives...hmm might have to sneak a few stops in at the chocolate factory and some cheese makers oooh and of course a couple of wineries and Breweries for Mum and Dad ;0)
Our summer will consist of the reading program at the library, swimming, and our annual 4th of July party! Anything else will just be spur of the moment. I love PTI and would love this! Thanks, and I hope you have a fabulous summer!
Ashley, I absolutely LOVE your blog! You totally inspired me every time you post!!! My summer plans are to finish writing my first novel and get it on contract with a publisher! Very exciting season... OF course, I would love to have this stamp set to use for some nice breaks from writing and fun time in the craft room!
I just retired after thirty-two years of teaching and I plan to wait until fall for vacation. I want to catch up on crafts this summer.
Great give-away! I always love seeing your creations in my in-box!
My summer plans include cleaning out the basement and having a garage sale and then a trip Up North (as we Michigander say) to my friend's cabin with my fam! I also plan to relax!
We appreciate you too. Having a blog is a lot of work. I know I would stop by even without a giveaway. Keep up the terrific work! Thank you. My summer is all about getting my son to college. We fly out with him, and will help him move into the dorm. We just need to remember everything!
Thanks for all the inspiration and a chance to win this fab prize!!
My plans this summer involve my kids. Getting to know my daughter (7 weeks) better and taking my son all over town for summer school and swmminglessons. We will also spend some time at the pool and some museums. My husband is in a pipe and drum band andwe have los of parades to attend. It will be fast and busy! Hope you enjoy your summer!
OMGosh! OMGosh! This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship ... my FIRST PAPERTREY SET!!
I teach. My summer will be filled with three three-credit classes ... and STAMPING!!
Thanks for all you do - LOVE your style!

right now, the plan is to keep cool! but, off and on, we will probably be taking little day trips to communities near us - greenville, nc. so, we can go to the ocean or toward the piedmont. who knows?
Oh, how sweet of you to do this! Summer plans? Sometimes the best summers are those that have no plans, but one thing I at least hope to do is spend as much time as I can with my newly graduated from high school daughter. She's growing up faster by the minute and any and all time with her is precious.
What a FAB giveaway! My summer plans are to enjoy time with my 10 year old, she's just started to get into card-making so I can combine two of my favourite hobbies together, one spending time with her, the other creating!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial in Embellish Mag for crinkly ribbon! We're having so much fun with it! I am really enjoying your tips and techniques too!
Awesome giveaway! I'd love to win and then try to case your elegant style!
I just gave birth to our new little girl, Ellarie. I can't wait to spend this summer hugging and kissing this new little person and getting to know her. I have the summer off work on maternity leave, and I'm so grateful to have this special time with her. It'll go by so quickly.
OMG!!!!!!!! I have been wanting this set SOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
My plans for the summer are to get more organized and more fit. Since my daughter is out of school it allows more time for all this and she can help me out too. Plus we got a new puppy in February so we don't really want to leave him to take a vacation. He's about 70 lbs. now and loads of fun.
Thanks again for the chance...I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I would SOOOOO LOVE to get this.
We will be heading out to Colorado for a summer vacation with 3 other families (friends from college) - it's always a ton of fun.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a lovely set - your blog is such an inspiration to me.
Oooh - I love to come looking for great inspiration and motivation and to find there's also a giveaway. Tooooo much fun :)

Our summer plans involve going to Minneapolis and Chicago for weddings, and spending a few days at each place after the wedding for our vacation, and spending time with family. And vegetable gardening the rest of the summer. Hope you have a fabulous summer as well!
Ashley, I follow your blog but don't always leave comments. Our summer vacation plans WAS a trip to the beach BUT due to the OIL SPILL we canceled our trip. Will find something else to do. I do have a Scrappy Weekend coming up in July.

Ashley: Thanks for the give-away opportunity. Our addiction can be expensive :) This year, I'm taking 11 year old son/business manager to the Jazz Festival in Montreal. We have plans to stop by one of Montreal's biggest stamping stores, so I can pickup some Bella Stamps and whatever nice goodies I can find to bring back to Baltimore.
Well thank you so much for a chance to win!! This summer I plan on doing a little traveling to meet my new niece! I also plan to celebrate my sons second birthday!
Have a great summer!
awww! you're so sweet and generous! Thanks for the creative inspiration on your blog!
How awesome! Thanks so much for the chance to win! My family will be relocating to a new city in just over a week, so this summer we plan to explore our new neighborhood (in hopes of finding a good craft store).
This summer, I'm planning on doing a little of everything: relaxing, re-organizing (& re-discovering!) my craft space, and rejoicing in having extra time with my family! Thank you for all your fresh ideas!
We are going to our family cottage. I can't wait! My kids love it as much as I do. The rest of the vacation will be me trying to keep my kids busy, so this stamp set would totally help.
I love your blog and that you include recipes. It's always fun to see what other people are making for dinner. Thanks!
Times are hard in our neck of the woods, so there are no vacation plans here. I am a stay at home mom of a son who has autism. We will spend our days on break doing what he loves best...Walking. We will hit all the trails and paths in our area.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Great giveaway. My summer plans involve going to my in-laws cottage and just relaxing by the lake and reading. Maybe a campfire or two with some roasted marshmallows!

what a great giveaway Ashley and thank you for giving us a chance to win it. Our summer plans are to visit Washington, DC and we are so looking forward to it. Our youngest son studied government and World War II during school and this gave us the inspiration to go.

Aloha!
My summer plans will be kicked off a little late upon the return of my husband from his deployment from Iraq. We plan on just relaxing having family time with our son, going to the beach, possibly before a move to the Mainland. We are hoping to maybe squeeze in some Island hoping, but just relaxing is the best plan for us!
Thank you for your constant inspiration. The blogging everyday is a lot of work and I know I appreciate you sharing your talent and time.
Warm Aloha!
Tammy
Ashley! Your blog is so beautiful!
Our summer plan is cycle trip to Holland and Belgium - almost 2 weeks and 700km by bicycle.
G'day! My summer plan will be I'm gonna leave Australia for good and move to my home country, Malaysia for a short time of period. And then, move to Dubai again for work. Gezz.. so basically, summer will be a busy moving's month for me. But I believe God will provide the best for me and the family.
Once again, thank you for your generosity and looking forward for more inspiration from you. You've a good day and God bless!
Wonder if, with the time difference i'll see get this comment in in time?
Im excited for this summer to sit in the sun and drink lemonade!
