1500!!

This is my 1500th post since I began Ink Stains back in November of 2007.

Doesn't seem like it's been that long ago but as they say time sure flies when you're having fun. 

So to celebrate 1500 I thought it would be fun to hear from you...

Tell me what you've liked, disliked... 
what you want to see more of / less of...
ideas...
suggestions...
is there a technique you'd like to see?
a challenge you'd like to propose?

I'd just love to hear what you think...
After all, I am doing this for you!

Everyone who posts will be entered to win a
$25.00 Gift Certificate to Queen Kat Designs
(and no, you don't have to just buy my stamps - lol!)

You will have until March 6th, 2011 to enter to win!

Good Luck Friends
and
here's to another 1500!!

    Excellent site! I personally love seeing the altered items that you come up with. Especially with items that I may already have in my stash or around the house. Here's to several more thousands of post for you (and us!) Thank you very much!

    I love everything on your site. You show me techniques I would never have thought of and I love it when I have similar items to have a go with. Sometimes seeing a particular make you do gives me an idea for something different. Keep as you are - don't change anything!!!

    I have loved everything about your blog. Yours was the first blog that got me so excited and into blogging. I love all of your innovative ideas and you inspire me daily. I really like the charm ideas you have been sharing and I hope you continue to keep this as a regular feature of your blog. I am interested in seeing some more wire type charms maybe mixed with stamping. Thank you so much for sharing your talents!

    CONGRATULATIONS - you have been one busy soul! I adore all of your posts and you really inspire me to try and create each day.
    I have always wanted to ask you about your creative process. I know you are a busy lady, but how do you find the time to devote to your creative passions? You are a wealth of ideas and inspirations. You have mentioned how supportive your family is, but do you have any other secrets?
    I have never entertained starting a blog because I know I do not have the time to devote to it daily, but you are so good at it. So I guess I would like to know more about what drives your creativity and what inspires and delights you!

    Hi Roni -

    Congratulations on your 1500th post. I think its safe to say I pretty much love everything you do. I am always amazed at how your mind works and the things you come up with. I love all your techniques, but I have to admit I am partial to your jewelry and altered pieces.
    I just want to thank you Roni for taking time from your busy life to post your wonderful techniques for us. I really do appreciate it.

    I think your site is cool just the way it is, please don't change it too much! You're so creative, Roni! Thank you for the giveaway!

    I don't really have any special requests, just keep doing what you're doing. I love all the projects where you find genius new ways to use everyday/household items. I'm not a girly girl (i.e., not that much into pink, or frills and bows, wings etc.) but hey, we're all different people. I love inky techniques and altered/grungy stuff, though!

    Roni, you do a great job with your blog. I enjoy checking in and see all the projects you are working on including the key charms...they are wonderful. I like seeing what you do with all the seam binding and vintage style stamping. Tutorials are always a good thing. I'm a visual learner have you ever thought of doing a video or two?

    CONGRATS on reaching 1500!!! Your site is amazing...I can always find something new & exciting to try. I love the way you use items we might otherwise discard; like: Candy Foil Die Cuts! Only you would think to use a candy wrapper that normally would be put in the trash to make something beautiful! Thanks for sharing your creativity.

    What a milestone! Congratulations! My favorite posts are the wonderful altered items you create; I am really loving the charms you've been teaching us to make! So many possible applications for those. I also really love your ideas for getting the most out of the supplies we already own...my new favorite word is "repurposing"! My husband loves it too because I spend less on my habit...I mean my hobby. LOL!

    First let me thank you for the 1500 wonderful posts you have given to us! Your generosity is amazing! whenever I need inspiration, I always know where to go! And as for new ideas? - it always amazes me what you come up with and love each and every one. What more would I like to see? hmmmm....I think maybe more painting/stamping like with the radiant pearls and similar stuff. I always need to know what to do with it and you always have the answer. My other suggestion is that you find a way to bottle your talent and energy and maybe pass a little over here- LOL! Thank you!!!!

    Besides that, I love stamping ideas and tutorials...and never get tired of seeing what you can do with things that are just "laying around" the place! Recycled crafts are one of my faves! Keep it up...because you are already just perfect!
