A Walk Down Memory Lane and a .......Chance to Win~

This is one of my favorite pictures of my twin sister, Debbie, and me. It was taken many moons ago at my grandmother's house, I'm guessing we are around 2 years old, maybe a little younger? Stride Rite corrective shoes, matching dresses, and the rare
occasion I had a doll in my hand!
Sooo, which one of the little girls is me? Can you tell?

Now I hinted at blog candy earlier, and I finally got my act together to post the
goodies!

The winner will receive:

Distressed Grid Scrapblock™ by Cornish Heritage Farms
(A 6" x 6" unmounted, red rubber, background stamp)
Scrapblocks™ Paper Pack* by Cornish Heritage Farms*
1/8" Scor-Tape™ by Scor-Pal™
(the BEST double sided adhesive around!)
1/2" Scor-Tape™ by Scor-Pal™
(the BEST double sided adhesive around!)
Scor-Tool™ by Scor-Pal™
(for use with the Scor-Pal or use like a bone folder)
Scor-Pal CHA promotional bag

****I sent an email to the gracious Diana Crick, creator of the Scor-Pal, asking if I could include a Scor-Pal in the blog candy offering.*******

GUESS WHAT?!!!

The winner will be the owner of a brand new Scor-Pal! In addition, a roll of the 1/4" Scor-Tape!
(my most used size, and one I don't have a spare of!) It will be shipped straight from Scor-Pal, the other package will come from me. :)

Whoo Hoo, isn't Scor-Pal the BEST!!


Now, all I ask is for you to tell me why you visit my blog, how you discovered it, and your best guess as to which one of the little girls is me.

The winner will be chosen on Friday, February 20th, at 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Fine print:
* As I ship from my home using Click N Ship, winner must live in the United States.
* Only one entry per person, duplicates will be removed.
*Scrapblocks™ Paper Pack is a "second," I'm not sure where the defect is as I am
not able to figure it out!
*I will post the winning entry after randomly choosing the winning comment.
*Winner must contact me via my email address with 48 hours and provide their mailing address, or a new winner will be chosen.

How cute! I think you are the one on the right because I see your smile and Morgan's smile. I like to get ideas from looking at your blog. Your cards put me in a creative mood.

Stephanie Smith said...

Wow! I am the second one to comment. I have to say the girl on the right. Don't really know why I chose that little girl! You are both just so cute. I Just now found your blog my looking at I{heart)2Stamp's blog listings. So, I really haven't had a chance to look at your blog yet. Thanks for the chance to win. I don't have a scor-pal yet so this would be great.

Cindy Lyles said...

Oh what fun Val! I'll wager you are on the left - because I see Morgan in the face on the right, and I favor my aunt in many ways... so I'm wagering Debbie is on the right. Also, you are like me - more serious, but as a kid I could not stop smiling exactly like you are in this pic! So I'm wagering you are on the left, largely due to my insane reasonings. :0)

Becky said...

The little smiles make me think you're on the right :) I'm not sure how I originally came upon your blog. Racking my brain makes me think I was googling ScorPal maybe? I loved the ideas on your blog so I added it to my Reader list. Thanks!

Leslie said...

HI, I think you are the one on the left. Not sure why but I can't wait to see if I'm right.

Stampin_melissa said...

Well, I'm going to guess the cutie on the left. At first I thought, how easy she said she was holding a doll and the girl on the right is holding a doll, then I realized that both were holding dolls but that the girl on the left was holding her's upside down. So I'm guessing you're holding the doll upside down. I guess I have a 50/50 chance! :) That's probably a better chance than I have of winning! Thanks for such a wonderful blog and giveaway!

Kathy said...

I think you're on the left with the big grin :-)

Gosh, I've been a fan of your work for years now. I started by stalking your SCS gallery and then started reading your blog when you started blogging. I can't remember how exactly I discovered you but I'm sure glad that I did.

SweetMissDaisy (Anna Wight) said...

Val, I read your blog daily because you've ALWAYS been one of my favorite stampers and I am so happy to call you friend. And because we have dates, which I DEARLY missed in January! As for the girl... hmm... I think the girl on the left. You're both darling... but something tells me you're the giggly one on the left. =)

Jenn said...

I love your creations that's why I vist :) I first admired your work as an SU! demo on SCS and then started checking your blog when you began work with other companies. I also live in East County :) I didn't realize you were a twin...I'm guessing you're the one the left.

Dannie Graves said...

Such a cute picture! I think you're the one on the left. I found your blog through SplitCoast at least 6 months ago and I've been reading it ever since. I enjoy seeing what you're making.

Mechelle said...

I stumbled on your blog while browsing the web for inspiration... I think I found you through a series of blog hops and was so happy i did~ I put you in my reader and am really enjoying your inspiring cards. Now as for which little cutie is you~ I'm going to take a wild guess and say your the one on the right ~
Thank you for all your beautiful posts.

Elaine said...

I think you're on the left...you're so smiley - so that's why I picked your picture/you! That didn't make any sense, I know...

Anyway, I am not sure how I first came to your blog. Either from Allison's blog, stampin when I can, or a SCS link? I am sorry I don't remember! I come here to see great inspiration for cards, get the lowdown on what's happenin in your world, and just relax...

CHARLOTTE said...

I think you are the girl on the right as you still have the same smile. I discovered you when you were in the dirty dozen on SCS and have always admired your work.

Maureen said...

Hi, I think you are on the right side. You are picking a winner on My Bday, maybe I will get lucky and you will pick me!!! Cute picture!

Vivian said...

I could swear you are the one on the left since the smile seems more like your smile now.

I have loved your creations for a long time in SCS and subscribed to your blog when I realized you had one. I love your style and have used your cards for inspiration for many of mine.

Take care,

Vivian

Neighbor_Nancy said...

I don't remember how I found you, but it is most likely just cruising blogs. I've subscribed for almost a year, I think! I think you are on the left - that big smile looks like the blog pic to me!

Thanks for the opportunity to win such great blog candy!

melanie pl said...

Wow. You both look so much alike! I'll guess the one on the left, because she looks more like you now. Congrats on having a twin! Must be a unique experience. Someone referred me to your blog ages ago and I look at it daily!

Anne Marie said...

So darling. I think you are on the one on the right. I found your blog through SCS mainly because I already had tons of your cards in my favorites there. Thanks for the generous offering of blog candy!

yvonnew said...

I also think you're the girl on thr right. both girls are too cute but, something about her...
How I found your blog "I have no idea"!!! but, I'm glad I did I love your style of stamping

Anonymous said...

I think you are the cute girl on the right. I don't remember how I first found your blog, but I check it out every day. I love the layouts and colors you use. Thanks for the blog candy!!
Renae

Cat said...

ooh-a couple of tough questions, but the candy is wonderful! i'll give it a try :)

why i visit your blog is the easy one - i LOVE your creations, and they give me inspiration. i first found your blog from an SCS link i'm sure. CHF and kim hughes are my favs, and you always have lots of cards with those sets.

so, the girls? i'm going to guess it's the princess on the left (as you're looking at the photo).

Susan said...

I hopped over from Lisa Johnson's blog. I've enjoyed my visit - love your work. I'm guessing you're the smiley one on the left. What fun it must be to be a twin!

deenie said...

I don't really know how I came across your blog, but once I saw your "style" I absolutely fell in love with it!! Just love what you create and hope some of it will rub off on me..lol. I think you're on the right, because the girl on the right looks like you. (Which doesn't make sense since you are a twin.........but oh well!)

Heather McNally said...

Val - what an ADORABLE photo!!!! I say you are on the left - it's all in the eyes! And the beautiful smile, too. Why do I come to your blog?? Cuz you ROCK - seriously - your blog is full of talent and eye candeeee!

Leigh Ann Baird said...

I'm thinking you are the girl on the left. I really can't remember how I discovered your blog but I did and put you in my google reader. Your projects are fantastic--all of them--and that's why you survived my New Year's Day blog massacre. lol

Pam P said...

I first came across your blog through SCS and I visit it on a regular basis. I love your your work and am glad that you take the time to share it with us. Which twin is you??? I think it is the one on the right because of the likeness of the smiles.

StampinCathy said...

Wow this is some awesome candy. Maybe Friday will be my lucky day. This picture of you and your sister is so adorable. My guess is you are on the right. I found your blog through SCS a while back. I signed up for receiving updates, cuz I love your creative and inspiring style. Thanks for a chance.

Julie said...

I visit your blog to see the beautiful cards you make and to get ideas, I think I found your blog from Beate's blog. I'm going to take a wild guess and say the little girl on the right is you.

Suzanne said...

Love the old photo! I think you are the lil one on the left with the big smile. I love visiting your blog because you have such great designs and ideas. You relly give me the inspiration to create!

Kenna said...

I love looking back at older pictures. I think the little girl on the right is you. I found your blog through SCS. I continue to follow your blog because I love your style, and feel it is something I can recreate myself by switching up the sets or supplies to things I own. Thanks for being such a great inspiration!

Connie said...

I think you are the one on the left but boy is that hard!! Totally a guess. I have a 50/50 chance right? I found your blog from another blog a very long time ago and have it on my Google reader. Love your creativity, your ideas and look forward to your posts.

Michelle said...

I have to say that you are on the left!

I have visiting your blog for a long time now & although I don't always comment I love visiting your blog on a daily basis & seeing what you are up to.

Thanks for always sharing your talent.

Connie K. said...

Hmmm, this is a toughie! However, I think you are the little girl on the left, even though both are adorable! How did I find your blog? I've been coming here for so long, that it is hard to remember, but it must have been by following a link on SCS!

Connie K.

Tricia said...

What a cute picture! I'm not sure which you are, but I think maybe the one on the right. I love your blog because your designs are classy and doable, and after reading it for so long, I feel like you're a friend! :)

QC said...

NOT for the draw, as I'm a canuck.....

You're on the right.....look at the smile!! :)

I come here cuz you ROCK and I love your creations!

CountessLaurie said...

Hello! I read your blog because I love your designs. You are an amazingly talented stamper and by seeing your work, it helps me be more creative with mine. Thank you for that! I can't remember how I found you, honestly. It's probably been at least 6 months that I have been getting your blog updates via email, so I don't really know. Maybe through someone's blog roll? My guess is that you are on the right, because the doll doesn't look so natural and the toes are pointed in, therefore needing corrective shoes. (I really don't know...but you were very cute!! A true gerber baby :-)

How lucky you are to be a twin! I think you are the sweet girl on the left. I have been visiting your blog since I started stamping a few years ago. I must've found you via SCS ? I visit to see your beautiful work - esp love seeing CHF. You have enabled me to buy many of their products!

Isabel Z said...

What an adorable picture. I'm going to guess that you are the little girl on the right. No particular reason, just a hunch. I found your blog through SCS and I lvoe it b/c of the creative things that you post which inspire me.

Barb S. (FL) said...

I think you're the baby on the left. I really don't know why except it looks like your smile. I can't remember how I found your blog but I sure do love it and TFS all you do.

Tammy Hershberger said...

Hmmm... I don't really remember how I discovered your blog. Probably just jumped over to it from SCS long ago, but I keep visiting to see your fabulous design ideas! I think you've always got such a beautiful, serene smile and the twin on the right appears to also, so that's my guess! (But you were both adorable! That photo could have me in it too... the dresses, the hair, the SHOES!) Thanks for the chance to win great prizes, Val! Have a great day!

Terry Molineux said...

I think it's the one on the left...I do not know Morgan but I was looking at your smile and it looks the same on the baby to the left.

I found your blog from another blog and have been visiting ever since...I love it!!

Sandy Knecht said...

I think you are the one of the left. So cute! I come to your blog because I enjoy reading and looking at your crafts. I'm not sure how I found your blog. You must have been featured somewhere and I liked what a saw and signed up. Thanks for a chance to win blog candy. Someday I'll win something.

jaymack said...

I believe I found your blog through a friends. I just love your use of color.
I think you are on the right.

Mary Campbell said...

My guess is the child on the right. Only because you mention a doll and I cannot see what the child on the left is holding. I can't remember how I came upon your blog but I really enjoy seeing what you have to share. Great blog candy. Hope to win. Thanks, Mary

Beth said...

You are the one with the huge smile. I think your sister is the one of the right -- I can see the faintest hint of the V on her forehead - you told me she had the V and you thought you should have the V because you were Val! V for Val! Am I right?

Anonymous said...

I think you are the one on the left. I found your blog listed as a fav. on another blog. I visit because you inspire me!

I think you are the cutie on the right. Love to visit your blog for your fun craft ideas. Thanks for sharing. Wendy www.stampinfromtheheart.blogspot.com

Angela H. said...

I think you are on the Right, but that's a big guess. How cute! I have identical twin girls myself who are 34 now. How time flies! Thanks for the chance at your blog candy!!

Barbara V said...

I think you are on the left...but I really think it is trick photo editing and they are both you! I am sure I followed a link on SCS to your blog. Love your style!

Expressions of a Creative Mind said...

I'm guessing the one on the left because of the big smile that seems to be the same smile that you have now (I could be wrong). As for how I found you, I'm not sure other than I was drawn to your creations and I've been following you for a while

Basement Stamper said...

I have your blog in my google reader and I continue to come back because of the awesome cards/projects you do! They are inspiring.

I think you are the little giggly one on the left ;-)

Kim Edge said...

Okay, first my guess...I'm going for the one on the right! Not sure how I came across your blog, but must have saw something that caught my eye so I added ya to my favorites! When I have down time at work I visit your site and look at the beautiful way you use your crafting talent.

Carrie said...

I visit your blog because I like what you post. You are very talented and I'm not, LOL. To be honest I can't remember how I came about your blog it was 1 one the three Splitcoast, blog hopping or a search. Sorry I can't remember but at least I stayed! :) I think the little girl on the left is you. I'm basing it on your smile and your cheeks.

Mary C. said...

I am guessing the left because of the big, laughing smile. The upside -down doll might be a hint too if you weren't used to holding a doll a lot.

Kaye W. said...

I think that you are the little girl on the left. I found your blog when visiting another blog and they had shown one of your creations, after visiting your blog, I immediately signed up! Have been loving it ever since!

Sandy Hulsart said...

I have been following your blog so long, I am not sure but I believe I came to it from the Cornish Heritage Forum. My guess would be the girl on the left. She is handling the doll like it is a big joke! Either way both of you are cuties. Thanks for the chance at some great blog candy.

SusanH said...

I found your blog through Allison (Stampin When I Can) and love it! Love your projects/cards - they're always great!

And I'm guessing you're on the left - with that big big grin!

Kathy T said...

Judging by the smile I'm going to say you are the one on the right. I linked to your blog from someone else (can't remember) but love to check it several times weekly. thanks for the chance of winning blog candy.

rose.269 said...

I just love the picture of you and your twin. I think you are the one on the right. I am a twin also and just love the pictures of us. They mean the world to me. I am not sure how I found your website maybe it was from ScorPal or SplitCoast but I really enjoy it.

Diane Du said...

I first discovered you through Michelle Wooderson's blog. I keep coming back to check your blog because of all the great gift and treat ideas, cards and especially the colors you use. I love getting ideas to use for my kids and all the parties they get invited to. I think you are the one on the left because the eyes when you are smiling on your blog look like that cuties eyes.

Darling picture, Val! My guess is that you are the one on the right.

I visit your blog daily because I love your style and I'm always inspired by your creations. I must have "discovered" your blog while looking at another blog, as that's where all my favorites have come from. . .one good blog leads to another!

jackiestamps4fun said...

Hello, Val. I don't remember quite how I came about your blog, but I've come here to view every post for about a year now. I love your stamping style and it keeps me coming back for more. I'm going to guess you are the one with the biggest grin, 'cause you always seem to be smiling big when I see your picture. (ie, on your blog, at other fellow blogger sites at get-togethers you attend - that kind of thing). Have a great day and thanks for the chance at such nice blog candy!

jackie said...

i am guessing you are the one on the left...thanks for chance to win great blog candy...How did I find your blog...blog hopping of course and i love your blog thanks again!

Mary Lou Kleveland said...

What fun questions for us to answer. I think I found you through a link on another blog. I do know you were one of the first few blogs I discovered and I check regularly for all of your awesome ideas. I love your style and like that I can look at your cards and the layout, details or whatever and it inspires me to use that as a jumping off point for something else I want to create. I think you are the cute baby on the right. I have twins - boy/girl who are 9 so it was super fun to see you with your twin! Thanks for the chance to win. Mary Lou

I would guess you are on the left. I just recently found your blog via Michelle Wooderson's blog. Love what I've seen so far.

Amy said...

I think you are on the LEFT. I have your blog in my Google Reader (for probably over a year or so) and don't quite know how I stumbled upon it--probably from another blog who was linked to yours. I love to see your creations for inspiration!

shawn said...

I think that you are the one on the left.. don't know why.. but I do..
Gee how I found your blog?? NO idea.. but I check it almost every day!! I love to see what you are up to and all the wonderful things that you make. And you are funny and a great inspiration to me!!
Thanks...

Alicia said...

I am guessing the little girl on the right. What a darling picture!!
I found your blog long ago, I can't remember how, but it's been bookmarked forever, and I visit almost every day. I love your style. Your work inspires me! Thanks for all that you share!

Sue said...

I visit your blog because your creations never fail to inspire me. While my re-creative efforts bear little to no resemblance to your works of art, you get me creating.

I am guessing that you are to the right as I look at the picture, with the less 'out-loud' laugh. I also think you are left-handed (or is that Cindy?), so you would be to the left. I am probably all wrong - but did you say you were only choosing from the correct answers?

Kathy Kelsheimer said...

Hi Valerie, What fun guessing which baby your are. Hmmmm? I tried looking and guessing from the smile, but everything is so similar? My guess...left. But maybe you are the baby on the right. No, I'll stick with left. I visit your blog because you are so incredibly talented, and it was the Cornish Farm connection that brought me to you. Blessings!

I've followed you around since you made those collage cards back on SCS....then I found your blog...and now I get all your updates. I love your creativity!

Yummy candy!!!

Thanks for sharing your talent!!

Dana said...

As a long time reader (stalker) of your blog I cannot remember where I first came accross it...maybe from your SCS postings? Or a link from somewhere else? *smile* Isn't that the way we find most blogs nowadays?

For no reason whatsoever, I think you are the girl on the left. Either way, you were adorable, as was your sister!

Shari said...

I would have to guess that you are the girl on the right. Your smile looks the same.

Thank you very much for your insiration. I love your ideas and choice of papers and color combinations. I definately cheat some and pick at your ideas. I am not 100% sure how I got to your blog, probably while blog hopping from another blog, but now it is marked as a permenant favorite.

Shari

Barb W said...

How sweet that photo is. I think you're the cutie on the right. I visit your blog, because I like your style and I can always find something to take away to try on my own cards. I found your blog after I clicked a link on Mish Mash's blog.

Helloooo there!!
I think you are on the right...right? lol.. You intoduced me to the paper crafting and stamping world 7 or so years ago..You have always inspired we with your creative natural talent and flawless designs. I have lurked at your blog for years and you would be so proud as to how far I come. I now spend most days paper crafting while the kids are at school and less volunteering. More me time...lol..I enjoy reading about the kids, things you make for school, taking Riley for walks and your pictures of your beautiful flowers it makes me feel like I am home! Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy, I hope I win as I never used any of these products yet.

I also think you're the one on the right. I think I may have happened across your blog from your SCS postings, but you've been on my bookmark list for many, many months now so I'm not really sure how I found you in the first place! I love seeing your designs and you're also the only CHF blogger that I visit.

I found your blog through Heather Nichols' blog page. I love finding new inspiring blogs. I'm new to card making and would love a chance at your give away prize. I would have to say the little girl on the right is you.

I would say the one on the right. It's your smile that gives you away. I found your blog through SCS. I love to visit your blog because I like your color combinations. I would love to own a scor-pal and its acessories. Thanks for the chance to win

I have a Scor-Pal and just love it. Would love to try additional products by them. Love your blog, you are listed first on my favorites!

Nancy Riley said...

That's some wonderful blog candy, Val! Gosh, I've been following your creations and blog for-ever! ... and couldn't possibly remember where I found you - probably on SCS.

I think the cutie on the right is you. ... or is it the cutie on the left? ... ummm ... right!

Anonymous said...

I think you are the one on the left- the giggly one. Not sure why I think that- just a guess.
I can't quite remember how I came across your blog- I know it has been quite a while ago. Maybe through Splitcoaststampers!?
Anyhoo, thanks for a chance to win some fab prizes!

I love your blog! I found it because it is on your splitcoast gallery pictures. I have been a fan of yours for 3 or 4 years. I visit it because I get great inspiration from your work. I think the girl on the right is you. Thanks for sharing such generous candy with us! I've been wanting a Scor-Pal for some time now. Winning it would be way fun!!!

apigonfire said...

I think you're the one on the right! :)
I have been a fan of yours since your major SCS days! So, you've been on my list of visits for quite a while!
Thank you for all of your inspiration!

I like to visit your blog daily for all of the creative ideas. I think I originally found it linked from Cambria Turnbow's blog for the little bag in a box. I guess that you're on the left. I was just asking a friend today about the Scor-Pal as I don't have one yet. And she told me how great the Scor-Tape is. Thanks!

What fun blog candy. I think you are the one on the right. I "found" you and your blog on SCS. I had many of your cards in my favorites. I love your style. I was very excited when you started a blog. Thanks for sharing.

What a cute picture! I'm guessing you are the one on the left. Love your smile. I admired your work on SCS and found your blog so I could subscribe and not miss anything!

Betz61 said...

I discovered you through Debbie olsens blog "Thinking inking" and I always come to see your blog because everything is always so fresh looking I love you style and use of color. I believe you are the little girl on the left.

Mary Jane said...

What a cute picture! I come to your blog for inspiration. I think I found your blog through Paper Tales, but I honestly don't remember. It might have also been a link on another blog or SCS. My guess is the little girl on the right is you. Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy.

Kim and Heather said...

I love to see what you are up to. You inspire me to make a little time to nurture my creativity. I ran across you quite a while ago through SCS and I peek in regularly. I am sure you are the girl on the left!?! I see it in your eyes. Do you ever wonder which one you are in pictures? I am a twin also and occasionally I have to ask my mom which one I am. I usually know.

I visit your blog to see some great creations and get some ideas. I don't remember how I found you. I think you are the one on the left.

NancyS said...

You're the girl on the left...I say that because of the big smile. I have identical twins (now 40), and my sister has two sets of fraternals!

I found your blog through a link from another blog. (I LOVE blog hopping!) I subscribed when I saw how creative and friendly you are. Thanks for being an inspiration.

Warm hugs,
Nancy in Indiana

Julia said...

Well, I think you're the one on the right. Something about the smile...
I don't know how I found your blog, I just started clicking and loved your blog, so I put it in my favorites which I check out every day or so. I feel inspired when I come to your blog.
P.s. I'm a twin too! AND I have twins! How lucky am I!?

Melody (lacyquilter) said...

I love all the creative things you share. I can't remember how I found your blog - probably thru scs. I think you are on the right. Two cuties.

sue said...

Oh you both are too cute!!! I'll guess that lil' one on the right is you. Looks like your smile & eyes.

Prinny said...

Oh Val ~ what an adorable pic! I say you are on the right. I love how everyone comes to comment during "blog" candy. I love your style and of course the VAL layouts. :)

Anonymous said...

Cute picture-I have to say the one on the left is you-she looks like maybe she is strangling the doll...LOL! :) I orig found your blog on the ribbon tying video! Plus add in a little stalking on SCS.

Love the picture and I think you are the one with the brig grin on the left as I look at the picture.
Great blog candy, too. Hope I'm lucky and thanks for the chance to win.
Blessings, Joyce B

snowbeltmom said...

Such a cute picture! I'm going to guess that you are on the left. I've been checking out your blog for a long time, and can't remember how I originally found it! This is great blog candy - I would love to try the scor-tape and the other items I've heard so much about! Hope I'm lucky!

Lori Mueller said...

Hi Val. . .I came across your blog shortly after you started blogging, but don't remember how I came to come across it. Probably through another blog that had you linked or via your SCS gallery. I LOVE checking out your blog on a (near) daily basis because I love the style of your cards and other gift ideas....so warm, crisp and clean (and simple). I believe that you are the little girl on the left. I didn't care for dolls, either, as a kid; therefore, I could care less how I was carrying it (mostly dragging it by its hair). The girl on the left has the doll upside down, which leads me to believe that little girl is 'you'. Thanks for the chance to win some GREAT blog candy!

Bev said...

You are both so cute-makes me want to give you both a hug! I am guessing you are on the left-no obvious reason. Don't remember how I found your blog-maybe from CHF? I enjoy getting your blog in my inbox and thanks for sharing.

Sally said...

I love to visit your blog to get inspired! You have such a fresh, crisp way of doing things. Found you through another blog. I guess you are the little cutie on the right. Precious picture!

JoAnna said...

I am going to say the little girl on the left, she has a HUGE smile and every picture I see of you, you have a big smile too :)

Anonymous said...

Hi, I'm a twin too. I think your the sweet girl on the left. Thanks so much for the chance to win. Hugs, Nellie.

Anonymous said...

Hi Val!
I think it looks like the one on the left is your shining smile! I wandered upon your blog sometime last year, so I can't remember where I came to it from, but I love your simple style and your great outlook!
Thanks for a chance at the great blog candy :0)

Boy, yours is one of the first dozen blogs I'd bookmarked before I discovered the joys of Google Reader ... but I've no idea now how I found you - methinks another blog commented on yours. And natch, I visit to check out the cards and for inspiration!

I'm guessing you're the baby on the left - looks like your dimples there!

Anonymous said...

I read your blog to gain stamping knowledge. Visiting stamping blogs is like having an online classroom! I discovered it through another blog. I think you are the baby on the right, the one holding a doll. Thanks for a chance to win!

What cuties! I think you are the one on the right...the smiles then and now are pretty close. :)

I found your blog through SCS quite a while ago. I now visit almost daily!

I would love to win the Scor-pal!
Thanks for the opportunity!

Hugs!

Hmmmm, I believe you are on the left. Smile is like your blog photo. More open and giggly. I don't remember when I found your blog, or how. But probably while I was blog hopping from another blog. I love the things you do and they always get my MOJO inspired. I have been a subscriber ever since I found you blog. Continue with all your good work and inspirations AND - PICK ME.

Looking at the photo, I'm guessing you're the one on the right. I found your blog from someone else's blog and I love stopping by since you have great ideas!!!

I just discovered your blog tonight as there was a link to it from Dannie Graves' blog for a Christmas card you made and she used the layout. So, that's why I am visiting your blog and I plan to visit it more often for a look at your ideas now that I've found it. I think you are the one on the left. Thanks for the opportunity to win this great blog candy!

manybooks said...

Hi, Val! ADORABLE picture :) I am thinking you might be on the right - the smile looks right to me... I think I linked to your blog from a Cornish Heritage blog list a year or so ago... but it could have been from anyone's blog, really! I just click links, and save the ones I love!

Tammy Nichols said...

I can't remember how I found your blog, but I know that I am glad that I did. I love the inspiration and drive that I get from seeing what you create, and I can see that you are a wonderful person by the way you talk on your blog. I think you are the little girl on the left, grinning really big. Its a heart smile!

Sarah said...

Too cute of a picture!! I think you're the one on the right, but who could tell!! You two look amazingly close! Did you ever try to trick people? I always wanted to do that if I had a twin!

Awesome blog candy- I'd LOVE a score pal! The winner is gonna be one lucky person!

Anonymous said...

What a great picture! Is there anything as cute as a little kid with a big grin? I would guess you are the cutie on the left. I found your blog looking for the ribbon tying video and have followed it ever since. LOTS of great ideas!!!Pssst...I really need a Scor-pal.

Jan said...

I visit your blog for inspiration (of course!) and do I ever get it! I got your link off of a post. You are on the left!
