Blog Candy - Reaching Stamping Top 50!!!

Reaching #50 in the Stamping Top 50 is a VERY big deal to me. And to celebrate this auspicious event I am giving away VERY big Blog Candy!!! This is a Brand New Fiskars ShapeBoss. It's the "Ultimate Embossing System" It comes with three embossing stencils and I am also including two more brand new ones.

This is great for card making and scrapbooking. These stencils have so many shapes and borders on them for dry embossing on your cards and pages.

I will not be shipping it in the box for two reasons. The shop I got it at had it discounted because the box was damaged and it will help save on postage. Retail value of this Blog Candy is around $50.00. Fifty dollars for hitting number fifty!!! I'm still SO thrilled to have made it.

Ok, so now you're wondering how you can have a shot at winning this Blog Candy! Well, since Christmas is just around the corner, tell me what you'd really like for Christmas. I mean REALLY like. World peace and all that other stuff aside, let's go to the other end of the spectrum. What is that one material gift that you'd REALLY like??? For me, I would LOVE to have a housekeeper and to be greedy here I'll take a cook and I want them to come in on a daily basis!!! That would give me SO much more time to stamp and do other things I want to do!!! I would also like fabulous lake home with an outdoor Sauna and and indoor Hot Tub. And if I can't have the lake home then I'd like one on the ocean. But it still has to have the Sauna and Hot Tub and the housekeeper and cook can tag along too!!! LOL



Ok, your turn!!!
Have fun. I will draw a name on Monday evening.



Thanks for playing!
Wanda

Ooooh la la... what an amazing blog candy prize!! What I would really like for Christmas is a maid once a week for a year (well, forever would be ideal). I'd also like a house - and I *will* be getting that - how exciting!

Wow, what a gift. I would so love to win it. Oh, gosh, I would love to have a new home all on one level with a huge big room for all my crafty things and space to hold classes.

Cheryl KVD said...

Congratulations!!! That is a HUGE milestone to reach!! For Christmas, I would really like to be able to go on the Stamp-n-cruise next October. I can't think of anything more fun than stamping and seeing the carribean!!
Thanks!

Robyn said...

Congrats on reaching such a great milestone. What I would love for Xmas is a complete new wardrobe. Just to throw out everything existing and start from scratch and get it all at once. How great would that be?

Denise ~ Paper Ponderings said...

I want a 30 minute shopping spree at a scrapbooking store!!! I want a cuttlebug, paper, dies, lamp, score-pal, punches, crop-a-dile...need I go on?!!!

CreativeMish said...

I want a huge stamping room! Someplace I can spread out and put all of my stuff. I guess I'll continue using the third stall of the garage for awhile :)

Congratulations!!!

I'd love to have all of my siblings together in one place ... we're scattered all over & I miss them a lot. Congrats on the milestone.

Shannon McGann said...

Congratulations on reaching the top 50! I just found your blog from Allison, and I can see why you're so popular! I love your work, and I'll definitely be back. Although I like your maid idea, what I would really like for Christmas is a weekend to just sleep and stamp and do whatever I want! Also everything in the SU! catalogue! ;) Thanks for the chance to win some great blog candy!

Congrads on your accomplishment. Top 50 is nothing to turn your nose up at...I admire your accomplishment...Now the cook
& housekeeper sound like a winner to me, but since you came up with that one I will take a $1000.00 Master card to use at stores of my choice to "enhance" my stamping/scrapbooking room. I would love a cricut or cuttlebug, and I really need some new storage units designed for papers, and then I would have to do my best to fill up those storage units, oh and I need some new markers...a stampin' up set would do me nicely and why not get the stamp pads to match...okay I think I have officially run out of the money I don't have yet...LOL
Seriously, take time to bask in the limelight and enjoy your milestone...you deserve it!

Congrats...you go girl!! Wowzers...what awesome sweet candy!! Thanks for this chance to win! I really like your dream of the lake house, complete with cook & housekeeper...but I would settle for the complete set of Spellbinders Nestabilities! Thanks for sharing!

Jayme Downs said...

I totally want a Coach purse! :) And OMG, what totally awesome candy you're giving away!!!!!!!!! I'd love to win it, since I don't have anything at all like that. I've never done embossing at all. And I hope I get to real soon. :)

Anonymous said...

Congratulations Wanda! :) What would I like for christmas? hmmm... I'd like a binding machine (Rubicoil or BIA), mini sewing machine and lots of stamps!

Jan Scholl said...

Well, I dont gift nor am I gifted for Chirstmas as I feel it has become a greedy season in this country. There is one thing I would like but just because I need it really. I would like a small whirlpool or hot tub with jets because I have Fibromyalgia and it would help a lot. But hubby doesnt want one for some reason he wont disclose. A portable one is less than 1000 and would fit in my garage. oh well-guess being uncomfortable still rules.

Cathy M said...

Congrats on Stamping Top 50! WOW that is so AWESOME! What a super duper candy you are celebrating with. I have always wanted this!
What do I want for Christmas...um...um...a housekeeper to do my reality so I can do the important stuff in my life STAMPING!
Thanks for a chance.

Wow, Congratulations Wanda that's terrific!!! I keep going through all your old projects and tutorials to get ideas, thanks for all the hard work!! I'm absolutely coveting this sapphire and diamond bracelet - so I'd be thrilled to get that for Christmas. I'd REALLY like the piece of paper that says I earned my Ph.D. for christmas, but since that's highly unlikely, I'd settle for having my advisor fall into a tar pit. Congrats again!! :)

I love reading your blog everyday so a huge congrats for reaching top 50! What awesome blog candy too! What I would really like for christmas is to be able to have the perfect craft room - nice and big, organized and be able to craft for a weekend with no interruptions. Congratulations and keep up the awesome ideas & projects!!

Nettie said...

Congratulations on your milestone what a terrific accomplishment! If I could dream here for a second ...BG I would love a NEW house in the country with a stamp room overlooking a giant lake surrounded by nature. It also wouldn't be bad to actually have time to stamp so I would love to have enough money to quite my day gig:). Back to reality I would love to own the Nestibilities by Spellbinders, and a good binding machine.

Nettie

Jana Weaver said...

Congrats on reaching your goal ...that's so awesome!! FOr Christmas I'd love a live in maid/au pair so that I too could devote myself to stamping, but I'd be happy with a set of Copic markers and the airbrush system that goes with them!! :-)

LeAnne said...

Congratulations on reaching the Stamping Top 50!! We know you put a lot of work and thought into all your blog entries. My Christmas wish would be to put an addition on my house big enough to have all my family members here for the holidays, so my poor sister would get a break once in a while! It would have to have a cathedral ceiling so I could put a giant Christmas tree in there, too!

gracie schupp said...

Wow!! That"s some great blog candy. Most of all I would like a day with more hours in it for stamping. Also a home health aid for extra help with my Dad 89 yrs old. Now the fun stuff: a room for all my stuff ( dh's words) unlimited supply of SU cardstock and all those amazing new gadgets
for paper crafts ect...Thanks

Congrats once again Wanda on your big top 50 goal! You know what I want what I really really want, the RUBICOIL. Our home is going to be paid for around Christmas, I just got a brand new van, I would love to finally get the RUBICOIL, this thing has been so hard for me to get my hands on.

Congrats,
Sara

Nikki Bond said...

Ok....what I would REALLY like for Christmas is for all the troops to finally pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan and be home with their families. Enough said! If only my wish could come true!

Thanks for the chance at some awesome blog candy Wanda! {SMILES}

Congrats!!! What nice candy you have! A maid and a chef would be nice, but I'd settle for a nice BIG gift certificate so I can get more "pretties"!!

Congrats on making the top 50. What a great accomplishment. Great blog candy, thanks for sharing. My hearts desire is to move to the other end of the state to be near my sons, their wives and my new grandson. I would love to be able to take care of him so he would not be in day care. I also would love a log home near the lake and look out and see the deer grazing. I would fish every day. Thanks for letting me dream. Mary

Rebecca said...

Wanda...your blog is wonderful...I am so casing your Santa designs...thanks. I would like a cuttlebug for Christmas...I hardly ever use my background stamps, I use tons of designer paper...so I think the cuttlebug would be the perfect gift. Merry Christmas...thanks for sharing your creativity and your passion with everyone! Rebecca

MJ said...

Wow! You are number fifty great job! I would love the new die cutters that cut anything you design on your computer. Not the ones that use you need to keep buying programs and stuff for. Or all the nestabilities dies! Or for my husband to get my jet tub put in that has been sitting in the garage for two months! Or, --alright, I am getting carried away, sorry. Oh to dream. Congratulations on your hits, I love your blog.

JIB said...

My selfish gift would be a room of my own to keep all my stampin up/craft/.,,,stuff.

For my family gift I would like an extra special vacation since we haven't been able to have one in a few years.

My gift to Wanda and all of you is to have a blessed Christmas, a Happy & Healthy New Year, and that all your dreams & wishes come true.

Diane said...

Oh my Congrats on your milestone!!
I hope Santa brings me one of each in the SU catalogue...I've been a

Pegg S said...

Great job!! I wish you continued success! I like your wish for Christmas - I feel that there would be so much less stress in one's life things like that were taken care of !

What I really want for Christmas is a house! So I can have my own craft room and my paper cutter doesn't have to live on the floor because there is no more surface area left in my craft area!!

Anonymous said...

I would like to have a playroom built on my house for Christmas. This must come with someone to follow my children around and pick up after them.
Congrats on 50! You have a wonderful blog which I check every night!!

MelissaS said...

Wow! Congrats! The selfish side of me just wants a weekend of ME time for Christmas! I want someone to come in and clean the house, do the laundry, bring me meals and watch my DS so I can stamp, read, relax, and take a nap :)

THanks for the chance.

Lori A. said...

Congratulations!! I would *really* love to have a maid, too! That would just make my day.
Oh, and a Fiskars Shape Boss! :)

Anonymous said...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! a well deserved accomplishment. I would like a personal trainer to come and cook wonderful weight loss induced meals and then work off the pounds that have accumulated and widened my butt from sitting doing my papercrafting. Exercise or papercraft....I always go for the papercrafting.

Pat said...

Congrats and you deserve to be in the top 50...your blog is awesome and you share your ideas freely. I would love to have one day a week at a spa for a whole year with the works, manicure, pedicure, hair cut, highlights and body massage. That would be absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing an awesome gift.

Pat

Rosella said...

CONGRATULATIONS on making the TOP 50. That's quite an achievement!
What I want for Christmas... Somebody to come and stamp with me, and a maid, who also loves to cook, and a place to organize all my stuff. It's now standing around in boxes and baskets on my table and the floor around it. Doesn't look pretty!

Lorri said...

Top 50 - good for you! I am currently unemployed. Now, I am looking for a job but if I could have my heart's desire I would like to not work and have the bills paid.

Anonymous said...

What do I really want for Christmas... To win the Lottery! That way I can play with stamping stuff and paper all I want in maybe Hawaii... I could buy buy buy - not just for me but for all my friends... But if I have too, I'll settle for the complete set of Nestabilities - ALL of them! Congrats on top 50 with all the sites out there that is an accomplishment to be proud of!

dasimonds said...

First..want to say "Congrats"

Pandessa said...

First of all CONGRATS!

NOw for me... lol After raising 5 children and finally a-l-m-o-s-t having the house to ourselves..... I would like a real honest to goodness vavation. Something like going to Italy or New Zealand. I would also love to have my children have a full, healthy, wonderful life with someone as equally as wonderful as their dad!

Anonymous said...

Hey...can I just come live with you? Your wish is absolutely dreamy!

My wish would be to live where it's 75 degrees all year round. I never did like the cold, and moving back to KY just reinforced that. And I certainly had my fill of heat when I lived in TX. So...it doesn't matter where, so long as the temperature is right I would love it!

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN ON TOP 50!!!
And thank you for offering such an incredible prize!

Anonymous said...

Hi ~ Wow, top 50! Way to go! Your Blog is awesome! I'd really love to have someone come to my house and get rid of all of my clutter and re-organize all of my closets. That would totally help me be able to get more stamping stuff in the space I have! Congrats again, Vicki

Cheryl said...

I would love a new large deck on the back of my house with a hot tub to boot!

Daisydaze said...

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing all of your talent and time with us through out.

Let's see...since I am so new to scrapping/carding, I think I would ask for a Cricut. That seems to be what most crafters are using to get those darling little cut-outs.

Thanks for the fun!

Stampin_Melissa said...

Woo-hoo Wanda, congrats on reaching the Top 50! Your blog is awesome!

As for my REAL Christmas wish. . . . . . I think it would be that my SU business would grow so I could afford more of the (stampin') things that I want. Of course a housekeeper thrown in so I could stamp more would be pretty awesome!

As for none monetary (non-stamping) things I think I would wish for my father's health. I would like for my son to have some good quality with him (without the icky step-mother! ewww!) ;D

Michelle Tweedy said...

Yeah, Wanda!! You rock! For Christmas I would like to win the lottery so that my husband will never have to work again. Then we could spend all our time hanging out with our kids and doing things we really want to do. Thanks for the chance at awesome blog candy!!

Charlene H. said...

Wow! To your reaching the Stamping Top 50 & to your giveaway! I think I would love a cabin at the lake for Christmas. Then my husband can take the boys there and leave mommy at home on the weekends to have some stamping time. I could go and join them every once in a while, of course.

Ellie said...

Congrats on your making the Top 50! :) Hmm what I really want for X-mas which is wayyyy out there for us.. A Laptop SOOO BAD I want to get one OHHH SOOOO BAD!! I want one so I can use it while I craft I like to do alot of alter items and I sometimes need to have my computer to do so but this computer is wayyys away from my scrap table and even if I were to print and take its not the same.. and I could add more Photo Programs and my own stuff instead of all the junk he has put in our computer! LOL.. but due to our income that is just a dream.. I'll prob. get socks! lol

Congratulations on Stamping Top 50 What wonderful blog candy! I would LOVE a Craftroom makeover or a new wardrobe.

Shelli said...

Congrats on 50! I'm not surprised. I love your site. I have to say I'm with you on what I would really love for Christmas. I would love to have my house cleaned and organized so I could have free time for me. Won't be happening here since hubby's idea is to back a truck up to the door and load up all my stamping things!

Of course I could just copy Robin and Kathy T and wish for tons of money so I could pay for whatever I want.

Thanks for such an awesome blog, Wanda!

Dawn said...

Congrats! and good luck on your wish list. :) Me, I'd like to go on that Stampin Cruise! Of course, all stamping stuff is good.
Thanks!

Anonymous said...

Congratulations on hitting the big "Five-O"! Most girls aren't quite as thrilled, lol.... Ahem! Anyway, I clicked on your blog link from your adorable Santa Nuggets upload over at SCS. What a great idea, and a great blog! Bookmarking it for sure...

As for presents, I can really agree with wanting a housekeeper, lol! One of the main symptoms of my MS is the massive fatigue, so I always feel so guilty taking time to stamp when there's SO much house cleaning that needs to be done yet! (I'll take world peace, too, though...)

Hugs to you...I'll definitely be back!

Suzy said...

Holy moly what a prize! Thank you for being so generous to your readers - I have been a fan and a subscriber for a while so can tell you that your success is much deserved!

I would really love a Brother electronic sewing machine and an Epson 12x12 copy machine for Christmas - about 1k for both of those babies so I doubt I will be getting both lol. I sure hope for one though!

I want my own personal motivational coach who says, "Okay, sweetheart, now I'm going to make you a nice cup of lemon tea while you sit down with these pictures and these stamps and do this card or this scrapbook page. I am going to bake you some cookies in a few minutes after I get your lunch started. You listen to this great music while you work. I'm going to be in to check on you in 15 minutes with a very special treat if you have started." Then, while my cookies are baking,my lunch is being fixed and I'm "working", my coach plans out nutritional meals for the week, does the shopping, comes home and vacuums, does the bathrooms and puts everything away. "I can handle the rest," I say, but my coach says "Let me see the great work you have produced." Then the coach praises it and looks at it from every angle and tells me how talented I am and how great it is and tells me to do another one while she finishes tidying the house and fixing dinner.Ahhhhhh.....

Sharon said...

Congratulations on your big 50!!! I love your blog and I look forward to your new updates. Oh, what I would love most would be a personal trainer! I have absolutely no time (can I ask for extra time, as well) to get my 2 kids to school, to the gym and then pick them up, so if I could have a personal trainer come to the house (along with a babysitter for the amount of time the trainer is here), that would be my ultimate gift!!!! Then, I could TRULY have "real" activity points! Again, congratulations!!!

Elaine said...

hmmm...I know you said world peace aside, but how about fixing my hubby's back so he's not in pain? I feel guilty every time I hear him stumble or see a tear in his eye from the pain....I just want him to feel better! If that were fixed, then I would want a housekeeper - someone's got to come in and deal with my stampin & scrapbooking mess! LOL

Anonymous said...

Kudos on being in the top 50 and thanks for awesome blog candy!!! Since I HATE to cook, my Christmas wish would have to be a personal chef. I'll clean up, just don't make me do the cooking-LOL!

Erica said...

WOW way ta go on the new milestone, I would love a housekeeper to do cleaning and laundry so I have more time to stamp!!! To be really greedy I would also love a cricut. TFS with awesome blog candy!!

Anonymous said...

Love the candy. I would love to get a car that I don't have to wonder if it is going to make it to where I am going. Having the kids home for christmas would be great. Winning your candy would be fantastic. Thanks for the chance.

Congratulations on your milestone. You must be very excited, I know I would be, if my counter hadn't stopped counting I would know where I stood. I would like a craft room for christmas but that would mean a new house or a makeover of the garage. So whatever he wants to do to get me a craft room would be great. Thanks for offering such great blog candy

Anonymous said...

Wanda - Great job!!! Your blog is great - so glad you made it to this milestone.
Christmas gift? Hmmm, there is not really a thing that I really want all that bad - well, my daughter is having her first baby this spring - maybe being able to afford to buy her all the new furnishings for a baby room!

Congratulations! What an accomplishment! And such incredible candy! Yum! :)

I'd love so many things, it's hard to narrow them down. Hmmm. I'd have to say cash would be best. We're signing on our new house on Tuesday, and it's kinda scary... so I'd like a little cash reserve - for comfort. :)

Anonymous said...

You are, by far, the MOST creative person I KNOW!!!!! And may EVER know. I don't know where ALL those IDEAS come from.
As for what I would WISH for Christmas...I would LOVE to become an ORGANIZED person. I just totally LACk the gift/skill of ORGANIZATION. It would save my family and me from so much stress. I wouldn't waste time being a "pinball" in my own home.

Anonymous said...

Ok! Congrats on the top 50!!! Great job!! I love your Christmas ideas - I think you about covered it. The only thing that is missing is that it would also be nice to have a pool out back with some cute pool boy cleaning it and bringing margaritas!! I wouldn't get very much stamping done if that wish came true!!! Have a wonderful holiday!!!

Jeannie said...

I'd love the Spellbinders Nestabilities...complete set! Oh, yes, have to have a Cuttlebug!! Then there are the Copic markers... shall I go on?!! I'm sure I'm going to want everything in the new SU catalog too! I guess all I really want is time to do the stamping! Thanks for your great site and congratulations on such a fantastic milestone! I've been subcribed for quite a while and I love all of your tutorials and ideas! Jeanne

I would love to win big in the lottery. I'd share the money with my family and friends. I'd use it to travel. Of course I'd use lots of it for stampin' stuff and set up a fabulous craft room. Realistically I'd love a set of Nestibilities and/or a Score Pal.

Anonymous said...

I LOVE all of your ideas and projects!!! As far as what I'd really want...I just turned 50 this summer and thought I'd have a problem with it. But to my surprise, I'm embracing it!! I'd love to also have a housekeeper (so of course I wouldn't have to clean myself!) and also a cook (to fix nutritious meals to live longer)!! I have fallen in love with stamping and stamping 'challenging' projects and also very busy with an athletic son which keeps me going (or either trying to kill me!). I'm always on the go and if I didn't have to worry with cooking and cleaning, of course I would have more time to stamp!!! PLEASE continue sharing all of your wonderful ideas! Thanks for all that you have shared with us!

Michele Kovack said...

Awesome blog candy! What would I want? To never have to work again, and just stay home and create allll day!

Lorie said...

To 50? Yay! I have to say that I truly and honestly would just love it if someone (almost anyone at this point) from my family would come and spend Thanksgiving/Christmas with us. We live 1700 miles from our family and can't afford to fly 5 people home and DH can't take the time off from work but surely 2 people could afford it? Alas, no one comes. I love the traditions my immediately family has but would love to have extended family to share it with.

Oh, and a lens for my camera would be nice, too! Family first then lens!

nancy said...

congrats! I'm happy to say I recently found your blog and quickly bookmarked it for frequent visits = ) ! For Christmas...MORE STAMPING SUPPLIES!!! NO kidding. For the most part, I just got started last February and my wish list is still plenty long! Thanks for the wonderful offer of blog candy and congrats on hitting the landmark number of 50 !!

Mary Anne in NJ said...

I would love a housekeeper who cooked and cleaned and filled vases with fresh flowers and made my bed with sheets fresh off the clothesline every single day! Is that being too selfish???

Betty O said...

What a question! What do I REALLY want for Christmas? And it can't be anything noble? If that's the case, I must be totally honest. I want a really, really old; really, really rich; really really sick man to come take me away. I want him to arrive with a preacher to marry us. I want him to come with his will in hand and I'll furnish the ink pen. I want his lawyer by his side to make sure it's legit. I want him to have a daughter who will be glad that I am taking care of her father for his last two weeks on earth -- so glad, in fact, that she will stay on and become my maid. I want his son, who is equally happy that I am taking care of his father to become my handy-man/gardener/cook. Of course I want the son and daughter to have their own source of income so that I won't have to pay them. And to show that I am not totally heartless, I, of course, do not want my husband to suffer or linger. I guarantee he will go with a smile on his face. And then, I want to be able to say good-bye to my job and spend the rest of my time having fun--stamping when I want, traveling to see my children and grandchildren. But, if I can't have that, I just want a new TV for my den. I am now watching TV on a 19X3 inch strip across the TV screen. Dang that lightening! Congrats, Wanda, on reaching the Top 50! You truly, deserve it!

Anonymous said...

Well-I'd love a home makeover. I don't want anything extreme. I'd just love new flooring, paint, cabinets, counters etc etc. I want a designer to come and decorate the entire house!!!!

Linda SS said...

WOW...being in the top 50 is HUGE! Congrats to you, Wanda:) This is a tough question because I am so content & not an iota materialistic anymore in my ripe old age of 56:) But I guess if I could have anything, I'd live in a little Thomas Kinkade cottage on a private lake with my son & his family living on one side of us, and my daughter and her family living on the other. I'd have a decorator come in and pick out colors, furniture and art for my cottage. I'd also like a fancy boat to cruise my lake and a guest house for our company. I'd have a gardner to keep up the flowers and yard, and a housekeeper/chef to cook and clean. My husband could retire and I'd be able to buy whatever stamping items I want. Oops, perhaps I AM a bit (or a lot?) materialistic after all:)

Awesome! What an accomplishment!!!

I would like a larger house (we have a VERY small on right now, about 1000 sq. ft.) so we all have a place to "play". Garage for hubby, playroom for the kids and a craft room for me.

Thanks again for all the hard work you do!!!

Congratulations!!! Kudos!!
My Christmas wish would be a replica of years gone by, to be able to be with my family, as I won't be, to have the big tree up with lights (the ambiance, I love it), stockings hung up, and moms homemade Christmas cookies and to have extended family with us too. Most of all good health, to enable us all to be together and enjoy the spirit of the season.

Hi Wanda-congratulations on hitting the big 50! I wish my husband would quit smoking because I worry about his health-he worries about finishing the rennovations to our home that we started 7 year ago! So I guess my wish would be to be debt-free and to own our completed home free and clear.... so my husband wouldn't have to worry about it anymore!

Hi Wanda. I am new to your blog and was directed to it when I viewed one of your projects on the SCS's Anything But a Card gallery. You've got so many ideas posted here that are inspirational. Anyway...to your blog candy giveaway...What I really wish for, hummmmm. I want a bigger house and a lap pool so that the revolving door to our house is continually open to our children and their families. This past 18+ months we have had our daughters and granddaughters, SILs and future SILs move in because they have hit upon hard times and have not been able to afford a place for themselves. This makes for a tight squeeze fitting everyone into a room and bathrooms. I have also had to give up my stamping/crafting/office room and moved everthing into my dining room. I also wish for someone to come in and clean my house on a weekly basis and that dinner would be ready for me when I walk in the door. I also want to be debt free so that I can retire which would enable me to spend more time stamping, work on scrapbooks and become more proficient at quilting (brand new to this) and work as a volunteer in a hospital or orphanage. That's what I wish for Christmas.

For Christmas I would like to have my invention idea patented and make a bunch of money off of it so I can be a stay at home wife and mommy to my boys and then I would like to have a book or two published that I have ideas for so I can make more money and open up a "chain" of homes across the US for at risk unwed mommies... That is just for starters!!

I would like for Christmas to spend it with my family. They live in another state and I haven't seen them in almost a year. I miss them all. So I just want to be around them for as long as I can.
