I've sailed past 25k hits...and I'm almost within the top 100 stamping sites, so that seems like a good reason to celebrate. Plus... you all have been so kind to listen to my ramblings about all these trips...even though I don't stamp or post for days on end when I'm traveling! I appreciate all that!!So, here are some bon-bons for you. As always, I've included some yummy chocolate (Belgian this time!) along with a few spots, some SU! hemp, some cuddled cardstock and some stamped Bellas, some Schmuck (which can be translated to jewelry/bling) and some felt flowers. Oh yeah....and a stamp set! I ended up with an extra SU! hostess set, Riveting over here, so I want to pass it along to one of you. However, I apologize - there is no wood or plastic case with it, just the rubber and sticker sheet.
So to enter, leave a comment on this post telling me someplace you've always wanted to visit. Greece is perhaps the top of that list for me, and I'm truly ecstatic that we're going there in less than a week! I'll pick a winner on Tuesday evening, June 5th, before we leave. Good luck!
TFL!

OMG Jana that is hard because there is two places I am dying to go to.....Italy and Hawaii and I guess I probably will never get there...My husband won't go to Italy because a friend went and said it was super EXPENSIVE and his excuse to not go to Hawaii is the flight is toooo long and he has a bad back and cannot sit for 13 hours!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe all the places you have gone to *a little green with envy*, lol. Anyway, I've always wanted to visit Bora Bora and stay in one of those houses in the water that's on stilts. It just looks so peaceful and quite (something I do have with 3 kids 4yrs old and under). Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteThe one place that I've always wanted to visit and will probably have to wait until the kids are grown is Hawaii. Now, one vacation I've wanted to take for a while with the kids is a trip on the Disney Cruise Line, hopefully that will happen sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip!
Jana, congrats on all the hits. Your blog is GREAT. I would love to go to Italy and Canada. I so want to go visit Em, the Stamping Bella herself.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree that I am a tiny bit jealous of your traveling adventures! Okay, so tiny bit doesn't really cover it. But, I'm happy for you so it's not so bad, right?
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to Ireland. I would just absolutely love seeing all of that green rolling land and I think the beer would make hubby happy! {wink}
Oh my, there are so many places that I would love to go. I guess first on my list would have to be Alaska. I have heard how beautiful it is there. I have been to Europe when I was a child so would love to revisit some of the same places, but doubt that will ever happen now. Thanks for the blog candy and the chance to dream about where I would love to go.
ReplyDeleteCheryl Sims
Greece!! That's wonderful - I know you will have a wonderful time! That is on my list, too, along with the British Isles, Paris and New Zealand. Can't wait to see the photos when you get back! (and I have coveted that stamp set for a long time!!)
ReplyDeleteOMG... you are going to Greece? THAT'S the place I've always wanted to go. Ever since I had a penpal from their when I was in grade school! Sigh... don't forget to visit Crete, the parthenon, the acropolis... I hope those are all there hehhee. So much to visit and so little time lol.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! Woo HOO!
Bobbie
I ditto Greece for sure. I'm so jealous that you get to go to all of these wonderful places. I'm trying to get my husband to consider getting a job overseas so we can travel easier as well.

Jana,
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading your blog everyday and "learning" German. I am itching to go to Australia & New Zeland. Yes, I know that is two places, but they are close enough together that I could visit both places on one trip.
Wow - what a great collection of "candy"! Thanks! Well...I've been to Germany twice & would love to go back, but I would really, really like to go to Norway (& Denmark) where one set of my g-grandparents were from - who knows... might even find relatives!
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit England and Scotland again. I did this when in college for a history class. I also would love to see Germany and Sweden. Congrats on the hits!! You have an awesome blog
ReplyDeleteLove your cards!! I think Italy would be wonderful to visit! I lived in Germany a couple of yrs. & loved it! Thanks for a chance to win some great candy!
ReplyDeleteI have been to Burma, but would specifically love to go to the place there where the people live on the lake.
ReplyDeleteHi Jana! Your bon bons are tooooo generous!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to go to Australia; it's been on my list for a while, so I'm hoping in the next year to so... my 25th anniversary is coming up. Maybe by then *wistful*
Love your blog!!
ReplyDeleteSomeday I will do a long long trip to Australia and New Zealand. Someday...
Wow--you are so generous. I must say though, that I love your blog and check it daily. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteNow, the place that I'd really like to go is England and Scotland. I've been there many times, since that's where my Mom and grandparents were from. But I want to take my two teen boys there, so they get a feel for their roots, and a feel for history that's more than a 100 years old! I'm dying to show them the Dumbarton Castle (every trip we climbed through it, and took a pic on the cannons. I want to do that with them.) and Westminster Abbey and all those other things.
I really need to win the lottery!
Thanks, Janet B
Greece is one of the spots on my list...you are so lucky to be heading there in a week. I just went to Italy in the Spring, it had been on the top of my list. Went on a girls only trip. We were all having our big birthdays this year and decided to make our own party. I agree with Janet, need to win the lottery!! Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteI know continental Europe is a little gaseous but I would love to get in a little roadster and tour around, stopping at little cafes and museums throughout...of course, I would have to go for many weeks to make it all worthwhile! Thanks Jana!
ReplyDeleteI've been to Greece and definitely would want to go back. I've never been to Paris, so I'd like to go there someday. When I was in school I spent a semester in Rome and travelled all over, but not to Paris. During that time there's alot of bombings and protests, so my train never made it there. So much so that our honeymoon ended up in Paris Hotel, Las Vegas. That was the closest I've been. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been really lucky in that I lived in Europe to 11 years, so I've seen and done a lot and hate to ask for more.....but a wish would be to go back to Switzerland to visit my two young grandchildren and then off to Portugal....it's a spot I did not make during my "tours" aboard.
ReplyDeleteCongrats of you big number of strikes.
I dream about the European chocolate!
I am amazed at all your travels, not something that happens very often in my life. If I could go anywhere it would be to the Carribean, a beach, my own little hut and room service! LOL! Have fun on your next trip.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many places I want to visit, like France, Italy, Hawaii, Australia. If I have to pick, I guess it would be Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to Switzerland!...and sounds crazy but I've also wanted to go to the Ice Hotel in Sweden! I just think that would be quite the experience! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all of the hits!
I have been to Greece three times and LOVED it (obviously since I went back)- in a week I'll be heading to Romania but if I could go anywhere- it would be England or Ireland. Enjoy the trip!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to Australia. My family hosted a foreign exchange student from Queensland when I was in first grade. So, I've always been interested in the country.
ReplyDeleteSo many places, so little time! I love to travel and my main goals are to hit all 50 states (I think I'm at about 35 right now) and jump the pond to Europe - mostly Ireland. I wonder what kind of stamp/craft shops they have over there?
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to travel to Iceland. But also would like to visit USA again and do some serious stamping and crafting stash shopping.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading about your travels. I spent about 6 weeks in Vienna when I was just out of college, but I'd love to return and show DH around a bit. And an artists tour of Italy would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI REALLY want to travel to a lot of places and one of my goals was to try and see most of Canada before I went overseas and I am almost there. Next I would like to go to France and see how good my high school Frnech is. I knowit will be different since French Canadian is quite different from Paresian French but hey.....lots to see in France.
ReplyDeleteI would like to travel to Japan! I have a degree in Asian Studies and never got a chance to go when I was in college. I'm just so fascinated by the differences in culture!
ReplyDeleteSince my Grandma came from England I would love to go there and see where see grow up. Also to visit all her family that are still there. Have a great trip!!!
ReplyDeleteRight now, I'd love to disappear to some nice, quiet island in the South Pacific.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all the great inspiration!
I would love to go to Italy. I have a dear friend who just moved there, which makes me even more interested. Traveling around Europe would be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to go to Hawaii. I will never be able to, but we can dream right? hehe.... I have also always wanted to visit Salem. I think that would be so neat. My friend visited and she said it was amazing all of the things to see. I also want to go walk threw the Sarah Winchester Mystery house. (None of these will EVER happen, but these are the places I would like to go :) )
ReplyDeletecongrats and that's great that you're going to Greece. I've done a lot of travelling, but I'd love to visit Hawaii. It's one of the few places I've never been!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to visit The British Isles, especially Ireland. My husband and I have it as a travel goal in the next ten years. Thanks for offering blog candy! I enjoy seeing your cards and reading about your travel adventures.
ReplyDeleteI am of Italian decent on my Father's side - he has visited Italy 3 times and I can't wait for the opportunity to travel there as well. He does have distant cousins that he visits with each time and I love to stories he comes home with! Contrats on all your blog hits... I've added your site to my favorites and will be back to visit on a daily basis. Happy Stampin! Debi
ReplyDeletei must admit, this is my first time visiting your blog, but i will be BACK again!!! :) have fun in Greece - it is BEAAAAUTIFUL!!! i would love to go to Alaska!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to Australia. One day.
ReplyDeleteI'd like visit the polar nord!
ReplyDelete:)
What a wonderful site and how talented you are. I would have to put Africa on my list, I have always wanted to do a Camera Safari. Enjoy your trip.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 25K! That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many places I want to visit-- I love to travel! Greece is up there. I am drawn to Portugal too-- renting a car and driving along the coast eating fresh seafood every meal! :) Have a great time in Greece -can't wait to hear about it....
What a great blog candy offer! I never travel anywhere, so there are lots on my list. But I think at the top is Venice (along with Paris, London, Hawaii, Alaskan cruise, Carribean cruise, etc etc!)
ReplyDeletewow Jana - Greece -that's awesome. how is it that you get to travel so much? someplace i'd like to go right now is Guam because my best/oldest/long-time girlfriend is moving there (her husband is in the Navy) and I would love to be able to go visit her there.
ReplyDeleteBeth (mommy to a busy 3 3/4 year old)
Congrats on your trip and on the hits! You've got to be excited! I would love to go to Europe some day!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip to Greece! Spain is on my long list of travel wishes. Thanks for all your sharing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all of the hits! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA place I've always wanted to go: Italy. OMG, how awesome that would be. However, I'm a big old wuss and I will not fly, so my chances of getting there are slim to none! LOL
Ever since we had children, we don't do much traveling. South Africa is at the top of my wish list though. I've had two friends travel there and I loved their pictures. They did everything from safaris, wine country, and beaches. It seems to have a bit of everything.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the hits!! There are so many places here in the states that I would love to see yet. As for Over seas I'd go to Italy.
ReplyDeleteUmmm... I would love to visit Florida. It's the complete opposite climate of where I live and I've heard so many nice things about it.
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
NG.
i have always wanted to visit the greek islands!!
ReplyDeletehave fun on your travel and i hope you have many memorable adventures! :)
I've always wanted to go on a Mediterranean Cruise!
ReplyDeleteSo many places to visit, so little money! I've always wanted to see Italy. (and Japan, and Hawaii, and New Mexico, and, and, and...)
ReplyDeleteI have lived so many places in the US and overseas, but I have never been to Alaska. I think me and my hubby need to go for one of our anniversaries, since we both want to go. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies.
ReplyDeletewhat fun! I have always wanted to go to Cuba! and backpack through europe!
ReplyDeleteHello! I love to travel. Usually to tropical places. So next on the list for me is Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, and Tahiti. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCheryl KVD
I want to see Ireland with my DH someday! Great blog, I'll be back often.
ReplyDeleteClaudia F.
Wow!! Nice blog candy!! Congrats on everything!!
ReplyDeleteI would actually just like to go to Florida or California. Never been to either! Actually my first plane ride was last Dec. down to NC! haha! I love to travel though, just more so by land, not by air!! hehe!!
=)
Wow! 25K??!! That's amazing, congrats! Hmmmm, I'd like to visit the South Pacific someday for a relazing beach holiday, and Italy for a more active biking, hiking and eating adventure.
ReplyDeleteIreland and Germany, because of my heritage! Haven't really had the opportunity to travel out of the US unless you count BC Canada which is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to Italy. Greece sounds wonderful though. Have a totally awesome trip!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to visit Vatican City and Rome. Unfortunately I get sick on planes so would have to be rendered unconscious for the entire trip!
ReplyDeleteAngie W
Hey Jana. One place that I have always wanted to visit is rural Italy. It just seems so relaxed and enjoyable ... plus the wine would be yummy.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
We were stationed in Germany twice but with little ones at that time, we didn't get to travel to as many places as we would have liked. I would still like to see Scotland and Ireland and the English countryside. (We did see London.)
ReplyDeleteWOW, Great bon bons!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....I always wanted to go to Ireland and Scotland and got that wish, so now...probably Turkey or Morocco
I've always wanted to visit Sweden. My grandfather came from Sweden as a child and I think it would be a wonderful place to go. Have a fun and safe trip.
ReplyDeleteI have always daydreamed about going to the Galapogus Islands. The crisp blue waters, the sea turtles the gorgeous environment! Sigh, I am dreaming about it right now!
ReplyDeleteHUGS
Some place I have always wanted to visit is the Orkney Islands, Scotland, UK. My great grandfather was born there and moved to Ontario, Canada in 1871. Unfortunately his children didn’t know much about their Scottish Heritage to pass down and it wasn’t until I became interested in genealogy in 1993 that we were able to find anything about this side of our family. Now I have the family traced back to the early 1700’s and have all the documents. The more I learn about this side of my family, the more I want to visit Scotland.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful trip!
My latest.... Italy, it just sounds so serene and beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog (and the candy, too!) I was born in Germany and love hearing about your travels. I have always wanted to visit Italy. My little brother is stationed there, so you never know...
ReplyDeleteHow can you pick only one place you want to visit? Well...I know what mine is! Since I am going away this summer to the UK the place I want to go now is Alaska. I would love to take a cruise in Alaska
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the number of visits to your blog and for the upcoming trip. Hope you enjoy. I would like to visit the Grand Canyon. What a marvelous site that would be. Thanks for the blog candy.
ReplyDeleteReally would love to go to Australia. Am getting to go to Alaska this summer for the first time, which excites me to no end. Have a wonderful trip to Greece!! It would also be on my list. My travel list is always growing, too bad my job doesn't include permanent overseas traveling. tee-hee. Thanks for the wonderful looking blog candy. I have been wanting that riveting set since last July. Drool. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI have a huge list of places that I would like to visit. My hub travels for work all of the time so he's not to keen on going anywhere once he's at home and planted on the couch. I did get to tag along last November to Germany with him though; I'll have to do that again.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'd really like to see Paris. It'd be good to see if I remember any of those 4 years of high school french--ha ha ha. Other than that I'd love to go to Italy, Ireland, Hawaii, the Bahamas,oh heck, anywhere. I'll go anywhere any time
Lucky you...Greece is where my husband wants to go next. I'm hoping to get to Italy because my ancestors are all from there. Have fun and be sure to post lots of photos on your blog:)
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I'd love to go to Greece, and Italy - but I've never been off this continent!! Someday...
ReplyDeleteIsrael....that would be wonderful
ReplyDeleteTo see all the things that I have read about in the Bible.
yesipray at gmail dot com
I enjoy your blog and thanks for giving us so many wonderful and cute ideas. I'd really like to visit Sweden because all my ancestors are from there so I know it would have a lot of meaning to me.
ReplyDeleteOddly, I've never had much desire to travel abroad. But I'd love to cruise to Alaska.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to both Greece and Australia. One day, I would love to be able to do lots of travelling and visit all of Europe! Wouldn't that be great...but I would have to win the lottery to do that!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to go to Hawaii for my honeymoon, but it was monsson season. Someday... Congrats on all your blog achievements!
ReplyDeleteI would like to go to all 50 states. I haven't done a count lately but I'm pretty close to getting it done! Sandra Lew-Moll
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about your adventures!!! I would love to go to London, England to visit my sister! Talk about some yummy candy! Thanks for offering it!
ReplyDelete*Hugs*
Stephanie
I think I'd like to visit Venice, there's just something about a gondola ride that tweaks my fancy.
ReplyDeleteHi Jana,
ReplyDeleteI've actually been to Greece, but it was a loooong time ago! I'd love to go to Australia as I have a dear friend in Adelaide. I'd also love to do a photo safari in Africa...but that is totally a dream...maybe if we win the lottery!!
Love your blog!
Heather L.
OOOH Bella's. I dont have any yet as I cannot figure out the postage.
ReplyDeleteI would like to vist Moscow. I am a big fan of architecture and love so much of it there. Now just gotta figure out how to get there without flying. ANybody got a teleport machine I can borrow?
Italy is at the top of my list....I even have family there! Just waiting for my kids to be a little older to appreciate it (and not have to be pushed around in a stroller!)
ReplyDeleteThere are several places I would love to visit but Greece is top on my list. My great-grandfather came over from Greece when he was a teenager. My dad says he was a nice man. I would love to visit the land he came from and see if we could possibly find any ancestry information. We have no family history before him.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to go to Ireland for as long as I can remember. I'm going before I die if someone else has to be knocked off for me to go.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to go to Alaska. I prefer the cooler weather so the further from the equator the better for me! I'd love to see and hear a whale.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I would love to tour Europe, take a cruise to Hawaii, but if the kids go, then it would be the Disney cruise to Disneyland!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh...Greece? WOW!
ReplyDeleteI've never done any traveling, but would someday love to tour Europe. I think France and Italy would be great places to visit.
Great blog...and great candy. I hpe you make it up on the Stamping 50 list soon! :-)
I was blessed to get to sing in 7 countries in Europe as a student ambassador in high school. So now my dream is to go to Hawaii. Have a wonderful vacation in Greece, the history in that country will be so ancient & amazing that I'm sure you will return with a renewed appreciation of the world.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and what great candy! I think I want the chocolate the most - but I love everything! I think my top place to visit would either be Italy or France. One day.....
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!! I would love to visit Ireland, my Grandfather is from there.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Canada's East coast....the lifestyle of maritimers fascinates me.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the great giveaway! Have fun on your trip (lucky you!)
First, congrats on the 25k hits! Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteNow, for the candy: SOME place? Not every place? Hmmmm, I've always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon -- it is such an incredible natural phenomenon and I've heard so reflective of the incredible majesty of God's nature.... Yup, that's one place I've always wanted to visit!
I've always wanted to go to Thailand because of the people and the history.
ReplyDeleteShawn
Mt. Rushmore is at the top of my list right now. Maybe not many other folks, but that is where I really want to go on our next trip.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to Morroco. I would have to fly my own plane their and back because it would be full of all their art and furniture. lol
ReplyDeleteYour blog is wonderful, it's fun to see where you've been traveling to and your artwork too!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to go to Hawaii one day and spend lots of time exploring and enjoying the beauty.
Check out my new blog when you have time!
jans-gonestampin.blogspot.com
Australia is where I want to go!
ReplyDeleteJana!! What goodies you have! Let's see, where I've always wanted to go is England and Fiji. One day I plan on winning the lottery so I can go everywhere and see everything, but until then I have my dreams and my palm tree stamps. lol
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit Costa Rica and Ireland. My other dreams were to see the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico and I have seen them both, plus Petra in Jordan. My wonderful hubby took the family to Jordan and Egypt when our kids were 8 and 9, and I went to Mexico several years before we married. I guess I love ancient places. And bird watching (costa rica) Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteUmmmm. So many choices. Hard to narrow it down. Right now I would love to visit Australia. I've wanted to go there ever since I saw "Man From Snowy River" all those years ago!
ReplyDeleteKathy
Wow!! Rockin candy you've got there! I have a couple of places that I would love to check out. One is called Jekyll Island; the other is my all time favorite (just hate the plane ride)...Hawaii! :)
ReplyDeleteMine is also Greece - I hope to be there in June 2008.
ReplyDeleteWould love to go to Gernada. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteWOW you are so generous!!! I would love to go to Love your blog !!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have so much fun!! I hear Greece is amazing!! I have also heard great things of Germany!! Well, I would have to say I would like to go to Hawaii & meet Dog the Bounty Hunter!! (weird, I know I am addicted) Or another dream vacation I have is to go to Atlantis in the Bahamas!
ReplyDeleteNow let me say I am so happy I found your blog!! LUV your cards!!
Next I have a question for you??? Where in the world did you find Bon Bon's??? I have been looking for years............it is a running joke with me & my hubby since I am a SAHM of 5 BOYS!!???
Thanks so much & I hope you have a blast!!
Love the wedding card! It's so simple and yet so elegant. Now, onto the places I'd like to visit. I definitely want too visit Italy. My DH has been there and it is one of his favorite places on earth. So of course I want to go. I'd also like to visit Japan. One of my bestest friends lives there and I can't wait to go and visit her. There are a few more local spots on my list, but those are the ones I'm looking forward to the most.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic blog I happened upon! It sounds like such a great adventure for your family-and Greece should be an awesome visit! I've always wanted to go there and England. My DH spent 6 years in Germany as a child and has fond memories. Have a wonderful time. I am totally subscribing to your blog.
ReplyDeleteI have a long list of things to do before I die.:) I would love to see Ireland. I want to visit Australia. The one thing that has been on my list the longest, is a trip to Africa for a photo safari. I think that would be wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jana:) I've enjoyed reading about your family adventures - you sure are making the most of being in Europe!! I would love to see Africa someday.
ReplyDelete~Amy H.
I think there are two places I would like to go. . .Italy to get in touch with my DH's progenetors and your house to eat chocolate and stamp with the Bellas!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog, Jana!
If I am too leave the continental US I would have to pick Australia....it looks so beautiful. If I were to travel within the states I would pick Washington DC for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh I would really love to visit Italy and Hawaii, if I ever do one day,I'll ask you for great tips!
ReplyDeleteHi Jana! I'd love to come visit you in Germany!!! Wouldn't mind some time in Hawaii or the Caribbean either!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Mich
There are too many places I'd like to go, but I think the top of the list would be Ireland & Scotland. Have fun on your trip.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to England, Ireland, France, wow the list goes on and on.........I love your blog. It is so nice for you to do blog candy! Congrats on your blogging success!
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit Italy
