All Done!Thanks for Posting! :0) Mel
If you like blue, this is for you:
I've been inspired "Princess Matilda" (who came up with this question on her blog--with the colour red). I hope she doesn't mind! Though my contest is not so original, it is in honour of the colour I personally obsess about: blue (and all its monochromatic hues).
This blog candy includes:
Two super-soft reams of fiber, some double-stitched ribbon in the new S.U. "in colour" blues: Soft Sky and Blue Bayou... A mix of silk flowers died in those colours...some photo corners, punched tags, & scalloped circles (also in those two blues)...Some homemade primas (watercoloured cardstock)...One of my cards--with loads of blue...A dozen Cool Caribbean cards (blank), half a dozen book marks & some vials of blue beads...a little blue notebook...and a tin (for altering?) with a dozen soft sky gemstones (circle), some metal frames, vellum metal-edged tags, and finally, two bobbins of Blue Bayou thread. [fine print: tray not included, lol.]
So what do I want you to do? Please leave a comment about your favourite blue thing(s) with a link to something blue you've made or something blue that thrills you. (Your odds of winning are high, since I've just starting to get my blog out there.) :0)
[Please, be sure to include your first name & contact info (blog or email) so I can email the winner for a mailing address. Don't worry, I don't share eddresses or send unsolicited emails.]
Thanks!

Thank you so much for your kind words on my lil blog :)
Here's a link to something blue that comes to visit me, and something blue that I made (for Princess Matilda no less!) http://enchantasy.blogspot.com/2007/08/beautiful-colours.html
I'm all the way down in Australia, so I really understand if you don't want to post stuff overseas :) I just wanted to comment and share and to say thank you for visiting my little blog :)
~Tracy
No Idea how much it costs to send stuff to Australia, but if I pull your name, I'm game [as long as it's under 30 bucks ;0) lol]. I cannot believe that beautiful creature was in your garden (though I recall they make funny noises! I do a mean imitation, haha). Your son is adorable and so sweet to pose for you. Thanks for posting on my blog too! *Grins* Mel

Do I mind that you used the idea I did? Heck no! I loved seeing everyone's favorite red thing. I am going to keep coming and watching for all the favorite blue things from this post! I make lots of blue things, but my favorite blue thing was not made by me, but was given to me by Tracy Dening (enchantasy.blogspot.com) and I see she already linked it to. Gorgeous blanket!! Here is the blanket I made for her, which was a blue/green.
Tracy's blanket
My hubby is in the US Coast Guard and their working uniforms are blue... there's no better sight then to see his ship coming over the horizon after a long deployment and see all the crew standing on deck in their "working blues" looking for their families standing on the pier! :)
I love your blues! I don't have a blog yet, but will be working on one tonight... though I'm no where near as talented as you... so there won't be much on mine. I was going to pick a picture of the ocean as my favourite thing blue, but then I came across a Wdg card I made with the new blues.. they are my favourite thing blue right now. I will email you my blog with that picture on it as soon as I have one!!!
Kim
Your blog is great!
Gosh...blue? Hmm...let me look. OK... I am back and I just made a card this week that would fit (duh!): http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com/2007/09/swap-prototype.html.
Cheers to you!

Oh blue used to be my favorite colour but then black and red took over. I still have so much blue and still love the colour.
I bought these blue seed beads: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=5813928 on etsy a month ago but the seller got delayed in sending things out. Now she has and I can not wait to recieve them. I also bought these blueish seed beads: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=5809273 and I plan on combining the two into a dragonfly brouch for my mum:) (I saw the tutorial on craftbits.com) She loves loves loves blue and if she could choose everything would be blue so I am excitited about getting this and making her something! Its going to be my first beading project of this type:)
Have a great weekend! :)
Hi Mel!

I was just reading your post about photo corners...I don't think that's cheap at all...I would call it "thrifty" :)

Something blue that I love is a little dressy outfit of my daughter's. She is outgrowing it, but it's so cute on her! She's darling in blue, even if people do think she's a boy. lol And the only blue thing I can think to share is our Christmas card from last year. It's not my fav, but here ya go! :)http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/461911?cat=500&ppuser=96017

I adore blue, but particularly the greener hues, such as teal. They match the colours in my eyes. I wear a lot of these colours. Very nice candy here - thanks for offering!

I am not a blue person-mine is red-but the sky being blue in summer is the best. I dont have a photo on my blog but just go outside and look-its free! I dont like winter blue sky tho-its cold. I like hot blue.
Wow, what awesome blog candy! And, welcome to the bloggy world. I am looking forward to seeing more of your cards. I like to stamp as a hobby but don't get as much time as I would like to to do it.
As for my favorite blue thing, it would have to be the picture on my blog page.
Congrats on starting your on blog. I wish you great success. Here is a blue card I made recently www.splitcoaststampers/gallery/showphoto/php?photo=660911&cat=500&ppuser=118582 My favorite blue thing would have to be the sky. Thanks for the chance! (jodenemuri@hotmail.com)
blue has always been my fave colour, from being a small girl, but my fave blue thing at the moment is when we get a beautiful clear blue sky which sets a backdrop to our beautiful Scottish mountains, it never fails to life my spirits! My blue card is here

Blue reminds me of my mother. it's her favorite color and I guess it will always be a reminder of her whenever I see something that's blue.
I really like blue too and it's my 2nd favorite color..purple is my favorite.
I love your blog and blue is a favorite color for me. In our first home, we had a blue bathroom, even the shower tiles were blue. I never changed it, because it was so beautiful. I made this one card and blue was my main color, not turquoise as it looks in the scan, but very pretty blues. Here is the link:

I'm without a blog, too, but I do love blue. One of my cars was Cadet Blue, which is about the color of my favorite police uniform worn by a very handsome blue-eyed wonder. Thanks for letting me play along. Loving the answers!
That is such a great idea. Here's a blue card I made recently. It's one of my favorite creations.
