ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I haven't been reading your blog for the whole 3 years, so clearly there are lots of old posts for me to catch up on! Thank you for this giveaway. I think my favourite item would be the Tim Holtz Lost & Found stickers but it could be the Lettuce ink pad, I love that colour! But the entire collection looks good (what's not to love about Ranger products) and your distressed glass tiles are especially lovely.

ReplyDeleteHappy 3 year anniversary to you and Ink Stains Roni. I am so very very privileged to have known you "before" and to have seen iNK Stains grow from a shy little blog to a huge source of inspiration to crafters around the world! My favorite part of Ink Stains is the step by step tutorials that make us all feel like we have it within ourselves to create beauty. I also love your product reviews which are always thorough and fair. Two of my very favorite products were directly influenced by your blog (Tim Holtz ink blending tool and the Inkssentials white gel pen!)Roni, you ROCK!
