Fun stuff! Congrats on being published. I would have to say one of my favorite girly things is the color pink. I love pretty much anything pink from my pink handbag to pink flowers to pink frosting on cakes. Pink pink pink! I can’t get enough of it–especially since I am surrounded by boys in my life. If I could I’d paint my bedroom pink, but I think my husband wouldn’t like that too much.

My favorite girly thing has to be my huge collection of high heels. I don’t know if it’s because I’m 4′11″ tall or because I secretly want to be Sarah Jessica Parker, but I LOVE them. Are they comfortable? No. Do they make me feel 5′10″ and leggy? Yes. And believe me, I’m anything but leggy! So that’s it…my favorite girly thing! Oh, and congrats on your 2 month anniversary and your publication. What fun!
Posted by: Alison | May 21st, 2007 21:30
Wow that is so cool! I think my girly thing would be flowers. I love them when my husband give them to me I must take a thousand pictures so they keep forever. Thanks for the chance for blog candy.
Posted by: LauraP | May 21st, 2007 21:38
Hello, the absolutely “girly” thing I like to do is, my daughter and I will paint our nails, do our hair, put face masks on and just be silly!!!! It is sooo much fun and I feel like a kid all over again, LOL!!!

Congratulations! I can’t wait to see the issue! My favorite girly thing is watching a romantic movie. Especially if it stars Richard Gere!
Posted by: Toni Whitnell | May 21st, 2007 22:01
Wow sweet candy! Hmmmm…. my favorite girly thing would have to be our new tradition at our condo each year. We have girls night and put on fake nails and watch chick flicks and do facials. My daughter is married and I am the only girl at home now. We have a friend that we go with each year and she and her daughter come over to our condo and we send the boys to her condo to play. We have a blast!

Girlie thing…well, lip gloss is a must…everyday, but my fave is a brand new pair of skinny tiny sparkly shoes!!!
Posted by: Rachel Hope | May 21st, 2007 23:35
My favorite girly thing to do is get a pedicure. Here in Okinawa there’s a place called Cocok’s where they do the leg & foot massage and then they do awesome artwork on your toenails. It’s really a special event to go and get your toes done at Cocok’s.
Posted by: Lisa Hoekstra | May 21st, 2007 23:47
I have sooooo many girlie things that I adore~ from pretty sparkly necklaces and jewelry to nail polish and manicures….all the way down to a sweet kiss for the little babies that I love to hog on, flowers in the garden, and a warm kiss from hubby (that counts, doesn’t it?)
Posted by: Elaine | May 22nd, 2007 01:02
What a great blog!!!
Hmmmm, favourite girlie thing, has to be my GHDs, can’t live without them. They travel with me in hand luggage incase my suitcase gets lost!!!LOL!!!
Posted by: Samm | May 22nd, 2007 01:19
My favorite thing is anything I can fit in a “girly” tote bag. I like to tote around various stages of a current swap I’m involved in. Gotta be able to tote books and magazines around. Not to mention the infamous Catalog.
Posted by: Valerie | May 22nd, 2007 02:52
Happy two month birthday.
I haven’t been a girly girl… but I’ve had a baby daughter and am just love, love, loving pink.
Posted by: Tara | May 22nd, 2007 03:27
An awesome collection of goodies! The girlie thing I love the most is getting my hair done- I love the gal that does it and we have a great time visiting, she does such a good thing with my crazy hair!
I love your blog!! Thanks for sharing all your amazing stuff!
Posted by: peggy lee | May 22nd, 2007 03:50
Fun, fun stuff! I would go crazy with all of that! Happy 2 month anniversary! Did you ever think you’d like blogging so much?

My favorite girly thing huh? Well up until about a year ago I didn’t wear much makeup or get very girly, as no one really cared, but now that I have someone that cares (my sweet new DH), I love to get dressed up. I think my favorite girly thing would have to be ear rings. I don’t know something about putting them into my ears, especially if they dangle a bit and swing around, makes me feel ultra femanine.
Posted by: Lisa C. | May 22nd, 2007 06:47
Congratulations for your well-deserved recognition! You are such a great inspiration to all of us! Now, for my favorite girly thing…I LOVE to get together with a friend at a coffee shop for a nice long chat. Maybe I should make a phone call…
Posted by: Adair | May 22nd, 2007 06:54
Anything that smells good to me and fresh…I love spritzing on my favorite scent (just not too heavily!) and “‘wafting” through with a hint of that lovely smell…makes me feel like a girl (which I no longer am, but I can still feel like one, can’t I?).
Posted by: Susan Lankford | May 22nd, 2007 06:54
You have such an amazing style I can’t wait to see what you got published, “oh how I wish I could be you!” My love for shoes is definitely GIRLY. My hubby has a fit if he sees me drag in another pair of shoes, and whenever my mom is here because we always go shopping he warns her not to let me buy any more shoes!! LOL But of course that never stops me, I just sneak them in!! Awesome blog candy and thanks for the opportunity to win!
Posted by: Jennifer | May 22nd, 2007 06:57
Since I am so busy with my small children (who now want to get up at five everyday!), I don’t really have time for all things girly. So, on the weekends, I spend a couple of hours exfoliating my face, plucking my eyebrows and putting on makeup…makes me feel less like a “mom” on those days!
Posted by: Allison | May 22nd, 2007 06:58
Wow, what fabulous treats! My favorite girly thing is probably lip gloss, I have about a million colors and flavors and can’t resist buying it whenever I find something new. Love your inspiring blog!

You Go Girl is right. Congrats on your publication!
My favorite girly thing is to get a pedicure, with salt scrub of course. Then to wear my favorite kind of shoes, girly flip flops!! I also love to watch my girls at dance class, they are 4 and it is so cute.
Posted by: Shannon | May 22nd, 2007 07:02
My favorite girlie thing has to be my “philosophy’s” pure and amazing grace lotions and cologne…I also love this company, one other thing is their powder foundation in a small bottle with an attacted sponge applicator-w/ spf 15! Just glide over your face and go….I love your blog and visit everyday……you touch many!!!
Posted by: Michaelann | May 22nd, 2007 07:02
Can’t wait to see your fabulous card in the new magazine! My favorite girly thing would have to be beauty products. Lotions, makeup, hair products - it’s all good!
Posted by: Megan Olsen | May 22nd, 2007 07:05
Congratulations on being published Trudee! I’m sure that this will be just one of many!
What is my favorite girly thing? Hmmm….I would have to say good skincare products (I’m a fan of Murad), quality makeup (Lancome) and good hair care products (Tigi). My husband always jokes that I have a mini chemical arsenal in my bathroom…and he would only be half correct (as my products are made from natural ingredients).

Posted by: Harriet hskelly(SCS) | May 22nd, 2007 07:37
Fun treats!!! My favorite girly thing is to get a mani/pedi. I get them once in awhile and it is just pure pampering. I like getting bright red nail polish on my toes and a pale pink on my fingernails.. AND I get to catch up on all the celebrity gossip with all the magazines they have in there
Posted by: pegg | May 22nd, 2007 07:37
WoW! You are so generous! Thanks.
My favorite girly thing—–probably my pj’s. Nothing better than going to sleep in fresh, crisp sheets, with a girly, lacey, feminine pair of pj’s barely on. hee hee

#2 thing - painting my daughter’s fingernails. She loves all things girly, but she feels so “fancy” when her nails are painted, so it brings me joy to see her smile when I paint them for her (she’s 6)
Posted by: GinaP | May 22nd, 2007 07:43
Wow, i can’t wait to see that pc mag. I will have to hunt it down!! My favorite girly thing is probably getting a pedicure. My favorite color is purple, but lately I’ve been buying pink stuff (got a pink ring for VD, pink flowers, pink shirts) my DD (4 yr old) is rubbing off on me! Yikes!

Congratulations on having your card featured! That’s gotta be a thrill! I thank you also for giving me the opportunity to play for your treats. My thing is cologne. I just don’t feel dressed until I’ve got my cologne on, and it just all depends on my mood, which “flavor” I wear.

I live in an all male household, including our pets, as my daughter is in college. When I come out of the shower, you KNOW a female is in the house as I and the bathroom smells of plumeria. I’ve used the shower gel, lotion, powder, everything. I AM a walking plumeria after I shower. ; )
Posted by: sharon in ne | May 22nd, 2007 08:19

Great blog…..thanks for all your inspiration!
Posted by: Michelle R | May 22nd, 2007 08:21
Fake tanning lotion!!! In the dead of winter here in New Hampshire, there’s nothing like the feeling I get when I apply some fake tan on for that instant ‘pick-me-up’. Being an Australian in New Hampshire, I can’t do without my tan (real or fake)! It instantly picks my spirits up, blows away that cabin fever and helps me ‘grin and bare it’ for another few weeks!
Posted by: Sandra | May 22nd, 2007 08:22
My favorite girl things are MAC pigments. In nail polish, clear gloss, on eyes - cheeks I use them everywhere!
ps.s I can not tell you how many times I have been tempted to color on cards with them, or how many times I have been tempted to see if shimmering chalks would work on my eyes! LOL!
Posted by: Suzy | May 22nd, 2007 08:27
Love your style Trudee! Fantastic blog candy, too! Can’t wait to see the magazine! I do recognize those names, too!
Favorite girly thing, hmmm. I LOVED the one pedicure I got, and I cannot leave the house without lipstick. Every night, I put on lip gloss before I go to bed. I bought some AVON Disney lip gloss for my daughter, and I was saving it for her birthday. I opened them and smelled them, and oooh, I HAD to use them. What a fantastic way to end my day with strawberry or grape lip gloss.! I guess I will have to get some more!
Posted by: Jenn | May 22nd, 2007 08:33
My favorite “girly” thing is talking to my gal pals.
Posted by: Jan Harrington | May 22nd, 2007 08:35
Congrats!! And Thanks at the same time for all the inspiration!!
My favorite girly thing to do is to get my hair done, get my eyebrows waxed, and then go shopping!! there’s nothing I like more than being fresh and beautiful with my hair done just like it’s supposed to be (which btw i can never get it there again) and then go shopping at the mall, looking for new makeup, clothes, shoes, etc! princess for a day!!
Posted by: Amy (Marig0ld) | May 22nd, 2007 08:38

Posted by: Linda Bullard | May 22nd, 2007 08:41
My favorite “girly” thing is shopping with my best friend who happens to be my sister. We bring things into the dressing room for each other try on. We always pick something you know they would not normally try on. It is a hoot! I think I’ll call her and schedule a shopping trip next week end.
Posted by: Patty | May 22nd, 2007 08:42
Oh, baby, you are singin’ my song - I love Philosphy products, too. And I live in an area where I can’t got to a store and play with them - I have to order them online - bummer!

Congratulations!! What a wonderful give away. My favourite girly thing would have to be jewellery. I wear it from head to toe and love to have it all matching. It really helps to work in the jewellery business too.
Posted by: Darlene | May 22nd, 2007 09:26
My favorite “girly thing” is painting my nails and toes in a variety of colors. If they are done I feel my hands and feet look pretty. When you work with your hands it’s nice to see your shiny colored nails. And, I go for crazy colors on my toes in the summer…..my granddaughter suggests colors I would shy away from. FUN!!
Trudee, I love your style. I’ve been checking out your cards and projects what seems like forever and I’m not at all surprised you have been on design teams and been published! You so deserve it!
Posted by: Kheila | May 22nd, 2007 09:31
How fabulous on your publication! What an awesome giveaway, too. I have to pick my one favorite girly thing….just one?? Okay, anything PINK!!! Seriously, anything pink. I even have a pink garden hose sprayer!

Congratulations! How exciting to be in a publication like that. My favorite girly thing is lipstick. I love to buy it and wear it, especially darker red colors.
Posted by: Jessica (jessrose21) | May 22nd, 2007 09:49
congratulations on your publication!! That is too cool!

I did always love your stuff though, so I’m not surprised at all that your works of art would be chosen!
HMM, favorite girly thing…. That’s a hard one.
I love painted toe nails, and not just the one colored ones. I mean the ones that I would paint beach scenes on, or even just simple polka dots. Just showing my personal creative style in a not so obvious way.
And earrings, I love earrings. I feel the girlies when I have my earrings on.
Congratulations on two months blogging! Hope there are many more to come!!
Posted by: Amy G. | May 22nd, 2007 09:50
WOW - what a generous offer of such wonderful goodies!! And how exciting to be published in such a great publication!

Posted by: Lisa | May 22nd, 2007 09:58

I can’t wait to see it!!
My favorite girly thing would have to be “girl’s night out”, when I get with my friends to eat and talk and play games and talk and listen to oldies and talk and eat
Posted by: Pat S. | May 22nd, 2007 09:59
I am so happy for you to have a card published — woo hoo!
Like you, I am totally addicted to Philosophy. I love their skincare products, and their bath and shower creams are to dye for - seriously! The peppermint and cinnabons have to be my favorites!
Okay, my MOST favorite girly thing is dolls. Porcelain dolls, especially Marie Osmond’s, are my favorite, but I also like Barbies, Madame Alexanders, and plushes like Boyds Bears, etc. I’ll always be a little girl at heart.
Posted by: Kristy | May 22nd, 2007 09:59

It has to be jewelry, especially earrings!!!!

Congrats on the great blog. My favorite girly thing is my diamonds.I am blessed with the best husband in all the world. He thinks every special occasion should be celebrated with candy, perfume, flowers, a card and a new diamond. Of course they were small to start with. But after 32 years of marriage the last 3 years they have been 2 carats. He’s a keeper for sure. So that is why diamonds are my favorite girly thing.

My favorite girly thing is being a girl! I love the frills, makeup, lace etc. and love being in my husbands arms.

Gotta agree with you, Trudee - you can’t beat philosophy - Falling in Love is my favorite girly fragrance!! My other girly-girl indulgence is jewelry… anything spahkly is tops on my list!
Congratulations on being published and happy 2-month bloggiversary!!
Posted by: Toni | May 22nd, 2007 10:30
I love your Blog Trudee and look forward to receiving it everyday in my mail box!!!
My favorite girly thing….other then scrapbooking!! LOL
I would have to say flowers… I love planting flowers in my yard and nurturing them. I can’t have them inside because of my cat…He eats anything GREEN! Even tried to ate a cactus once. he deserved that one!
Posted by: Teresa | May 22nd, 2007 10:32
Wow! Congrats!!! How awesome to be published. Hopefully one day…
My ultimate favorite girly thing is definitely shoes! I can’t have enough shoes & pedicured toes! Love the pink toes with little rhinestones on the big toes…
Posted by: Letty Lian-Segawa | May 22nd, 2007 10:35
Now this is a WHOLE lotta fun!!
Hmmm…. my favorite girly thing is my perfume: Clinique happy. Love that citrusy scent!!
Posted by: Trish D | May 22nd, 2007 10:38
What a great treat! My favorite girly item/ritual is using my OPI Nail Envy. It turned my fingernails around 180 degrees. They’re strong and well-behaved, now.
Also love having my toes done in and OPI red color.
Congrats on your anniversary!!
Posted by: Melissa | May 22nd, 2007 10:39
Thanks for blogging on a daily basis, Trudee - it’s fun to read! I love lip gloss/lipstick. I have a drawer full of it at home. Everytime I’m at a store that sells lip gloss or lipstick, I have to stop and look. I can’t walk out of the store without buying one! And it’s not like I’ll ever use all that I have!
Posted by: Krista | May 22nd, 2007 10:44
Wow, you are in great company - and so are they! My favorite girly thing is/are painted toes! I think they are the height of femininity! Pedicures are a wonderful thing! The blog candy looks great. I’m so hoping to beat the odds and win. I’ll be sure to run out and get the mag!
Posted by: tanja fussell | May 22nd, 2007 10:56
I love shoes!!
Posted by: Kelly | May 22nd, 2007 10:57
I wouldn’t call myself a girly girl at all, but I do love going out for coffee with my sister and just gossiping like crazy about how crazy our family is…all of them..but us
Posted by: Janet | May 22nd, 2007 11:01
Hi, and congratulations on having your work published. I love girly things, too. Like wearing girly colors, pink, turquoise, etc. Going out for coffee with girlfriends. Stamping and scrapping together, laughing and just generally having fun. Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Carolyn Sharkas | May 22nd, 2007 11:12
I’m not much of a girly girl either, but I do love a great massage, chick-flicks with a girlfriend, Vera Bradley bags, and pedicured (sp?) toes in the summer!
I love your blog - and would love some blog candy even more!

Posted by: Tara S. | May 22nd, 2007 11:12
My girly girl favorite would have to be my CHI, LOL. I love love love my hair straightener! I am also a fan of pedicures and I love lotions and shower gels from Bath and Body Works. I am a fan of Lancome makeup products too. I am pretty much a girly girl all the way around. Pink is my favorite color too. I really like your blog!
Posted by: Karen | May 22nd, 2007 11:13
Hi Trudee,
Thanks for the lovely You Go, Girl! mention. I really enjoyed working with you on this special project. Your Belly card is so stinkin’ cute!
As a Paper Crafts employee, I’m making my own “full contest rules” for your giveaway that I don’t qualify to win, but I’d love to share my favorite girly thing anyway.
I’m pretty much a girly girl. I love anything pink, bling, yummy smells, pampering and shopping, but my favorite girly thing has got to be Barbie.
Yes, I’m a grown woman, but I still love this doll! I buy the collector additions and still have cases and cases packed away of dolls, clothes, furniture, houses, cars and more from my childhood. I think it has something to do with the fantasy of it all. There’s no way my DH would go for a pink house, full of pink furniture and fancy pink cars, but I can always live the dream through Barbie. Perhaps my DH is just jealous of my love for Ken.
OK, this probably makes me sound a bit odd. I’m not a freaky closet Barbie player or anything. I just love all that her girly empire is.
Congrats on the blog anniversary! Please keep your cute card designs coming our way.
Cheers!
Megan
Posted by: Megan | May 22nd, 2007 11:19
Wow, wow! Such pretty girly stuff. I have 2 boys, so lately anything girly has been my favorite! I like bling on shirts, flip flops, jeans, everything–sparkly, shiny stuff!
I have enjoyed card making because I can get the “girly” fix that you don’t get bringing up two very active boys!
Not to say that isn’t fun….At least I don’t have to share the shopping money!
I will be out of town when you draw your winner, so on the slim chance that I win, please save my prize!!!!
I really enjoy your cards! thanks so much.
Posted by: Joy Nicol | May 22nd, 2007 11:28
I love my collection of antique dolls. So I guess that would be my favorite girlie thing…Never outgrew the dolls.

Posted by: Patty | May 22nd, 2007 11:35
Hi Trudee!! I love your blog site. So much creativity!! Congrats on your anniversary too… I have to say my favorite “girlie” things are my Slane & Slane pearl necklace my DH gave me and my handbags. I am known as the “bag lady” around my home. You can NEVER have too many. My problem is, I have a hard time getting rid of them…It’s a sickness but I’m glad there isn’t a shot for this particular sickness:)
Posted by: Terri D. | May 22nd, 2007 11:36
Wow, what a great prize! Thanks so much for the offer! My favorite girlie thing is mascara! I wear it every day, even if I’m going to be swimming or playing sports later, even if I didn’t get my shower until 3 in the afternoon–I’ll still wear mascara. I’m not me without it. Love being a girl! Congrats on your year anniversary!
Posted by: Amie | May 22nd, 2007 11:44
Hello Trudee,
I’d love to get those treats!
My girly girl fav has got to be pedicures… there is a finish you cannot get any other way!
Thanks for all your inspiration!

Congrats on being published!! I love looking through the magazines and seeing projects by people I “know”!
My favorite girly thing is sitting in the middle of the bed with my sister, talking and laughing like school girls again. My DH thinks we are silly and my DS just rolls his eyes at us. The next best girly thing is my closet full of shoes…I love shoes!
Posted by: Sharlene Wale | May 22nd, 2007 11:49
Congratulations! What a fantastic accomplishment. Thanks, too, for offering such awesome blog candy. My favorite girly thing is getting my hair professionally washed and styled. I’ve always told my husband that when we finally win that lottery, I’m going to have my hair “done” every day at the salon.
Congrats again! I’m off to the bookstore to go pick up that magazine.
Posted by: Regina Davis | May 22nd, 2007 11:54

Love your blog and thanks for the goodies! My favorite girly thing is jewelry! I love it and can’t get enough. Congrats on getting your card published!!
Posted by: Jackie W. | May 22nd, 2007 12:25
congrats on the publication–how exciting!!!
i’m so *not* a girlie-girl…but i guess my favorite thing that is usually considered girlie has to be chick flicks. but the best part of that is that it’s usually hubby that picks them up at the video store.
Posted by: Jen | May 22nd, 2007 12:29
My favorite girly thing would definitely have to be jewelry!! I love, love, love blingy things.
Posted by: Stephanie | May 22nd, 2007 12:34
Wohoo Trudee! Love the blog prize and big-time congrats on being published in that special issue. Can’t wait to see it!!!! My favorited girlie thing …hmmm… I love dresses and skirts, rarely wear pants.
Posted by: Julia Stainton | May 22nd, 2007 12:50
Wow, what great stuff!! I have lots of favorite girlie things, my latest love is Bare Minerals makeup - it’s fabulous!!! But I also love bubble baths - when I can get one - and who doesn’t love sparkles and shiny jewels!!
Thanks for sharing!
Posted by: Julie Masse | May 22nd, 2007 12:51
Oh, what wonderful prizes!!! Your blog is GREAT, YOU are GREAT, and CONGRATS on your publication! You are just adorable, and it’s so fun to read your blog every day!
I would say my girly fave is my flowers…I plant over 20 planters every year with all kinds of flowers!
I have raised 4 sons, and didn’t get to do any of the fun, girly stuff…sniff sniff…but I do love my boys! I love my rings too, as my engagement ring was my Grandmother’s, and my wedding band was my Mom’s. They are very special to me
Posted by: diane mcvey | May 22nd, 2007 12:53
Congrats on your publication! I love those papercrafts special issues, and this sounds like a super-good one.
As for girly stuff…. I love nice clothes, but I’m not a {big} clothes shopper… same w/shoes… makeup is all from the grocery store (LOL!), but I MUST have only the very best for my hair!!! Expensive shampoo, expensive product, expensive flat-iron. So funny how we have our little “things”!
Posted by: Elizabeth | May 22nd, 2007 13:01
I am the most ungirly person. I wear jeans, running shoes, sweats socks, and usually shop the men’s department for shirts and tops. I just hate the mall (I know that is pathetic) and rarely wear makeup and never any jewelry excpet my plain band wedding ring. I get anxiety attacks just thinking about doing girl stuff. My daughter is completely the opposite tho. SO probably the most girly thing I do is use mascara. I like that new sort that has two wands-one white lengthener and the other the mascara end. I am white as paste from not getting a tan so at least my eyes look okay. I also use an unscented super moisterizer but hubby takes it and I always run out because he just throws the bottle away. Its hard to find some unscented items but I dont use anything smelly.
Posted by: Jan Scholl | May 22nd, 2007 13:01
I have to say that I have loved learning about Philosophy products as well, but my favorite girly thing is a deep reflexology treatment and pedicure. “Hands down” my feet love this the most! Would LOVE To win all that “girly” blog candy too.
Thanks so much for the wonderful blog.

Posted by: Barb Hendrickson | May 22nd, 2007 13:03
I am generally not a girly girl and am one of those with the 10 minute shower makeup rountine, however, I am so girly when it comes to those fruity scented body butters from either the body shop or Bath and Bodyworks. I never choose the plain scents and love all the mango, coconut scents. They remind me of when I was a teenager and my friend and I had every flavor of Bonnie Bell lipsmacker there was! YUM!
Posted by: KathyC | May 22nd, 2007 13:11
Wow, what great treats! I would love to be the winner of all those goodies. As for girlie things, I have to say that I love rings. I am on a rose gold kick at the moment! It just has the loveliest shade of pink. I just can’t get enough.
Posted by: Anouk | May 22nd, 2007 13:12
My favorite girly thing is “hair pretties” as my 2 year old daughter calls them. You can never have enough things to put in your hair! LOL
Fabulous treats!
Posted by: Cheryl Kelly-Van Domelen | May 22nd, 2007 13:15
What awesome treats!! :c)
My favorite girly thing… hmm… I have a lot. I cannot leave the house without lip gloss, but I have to say I love shoes something fierce! Flip flops, stilettos, wedges, whatever, I love ‘em!
Posted by: Stephanie W. | May 22nd, 2007 13:22
My favorite girly thing is to get all dressed up. Don’t get to do it very often so it is a real treat. Congrats on getting published.

I would have to say that my favorite “girly thing” is jewelry……..rings and watches with different bands……guess that is 2 things…….sorry about that!!
Posted by: k. m. | May 22nd, 2007 13:41
Wow, those are great gifts! I am thinking of doing a giveaway now that I have seen so many other people do them. I just started last week so I don’t have many readers but if I get a few more I might just do this.
My favorite girly thing would have to be lip gloss. I LOVE it.
Posted by: Trisha | May 22nd, 2007 13:42
Love the candy! This is hard to narrow down - I love shoes and purses and jewelry and getting my hair cut! Sorry, I’m just a girly girl! And so is our granddaughter - when she was little she refused to wear any socks except “fancy ones” and she would play soft ball in dresses!
Posted by: Fran McCllintock | May 22nd, 2007 13:50
Congrats on the publication!!!!
Do dark chocolate and husbands who do laundry count as “girly” things, ‘cuz they sure are my favorites!!!
Posted by: Amy | May 22nd, 2007 14:10
Congrats for being published!!
Favorite girly thing beyond a doubt is shopping. Taught my 2 girls well too. We do an annual overnight shopping trip together. I can still last longer than they do!
Posted by: Joyce Traub | May 22nd, 2007 14:31
Congratulations Trudee!!!! I’ll have to be sure and buy a copy so I can see your beautiful entry! As for my favorite “girly thing” I don’t treat myself often enough, but the one thing I do most regularly and LOVE is going to get my hair done! I feel so relaxed by the time my hairdresser is done with me that I feel like I need to take a nap! Mmmmmm, only 1 1/2 weeks until my next appointment Ü.
LOVE those Trudee Treats by the way!! You’re Awesome, Girl!!!
Posted by: MichelleD | May 22nd, 2007 14:33

Posted by: Shelley Davis | May 22nd, 2007 14:46
I’ve never been a girlie girl - but must admit that I do so enjoy a special foursome outing with gal pals that we’ve been doing for the last couple of years. Just a time to catch up with hugs and storytelling. We head out for a very early dinner and close the place down. Time flies with special GFs!
Posted by: twinks | May 22nd, 2007 15:15
My favorite girly thing has definately got to me manicures, pedicures & my waxing…I love being pampered!
Posted by: Michelle | May 22nd, 2007 15:17
As a mother of 2 boys, I love my girly-just-for-mommy things. I love my acryllic (fake) nails and going to the salon to get them done. I love sipping tea and using my flowery tea pot and tea cups. And I really love purses. A girl can never have enough purses (or black shoes).
Can’t wait to see what you have in the new mag, I am always thrilled with the new ideas you share with us.
Posted by: Jenny Kronberg | May 22nd, 2007 15:17

Posted by: A. Sanborn | May 22nd, 2007 16:03
Way to go on being published! Great Candy!!! I LOVE all things girley. I am crazy about the color pink so, anything that is pink, catches my eye. But, OK, you did ask for my favorite thing. At this moment, ribbon. I think ribbon is girley and fun and I love it. Especially if it’s pink!
Posted by: Mimi | May 22nd, 2007 16:11

So, congratulations on: 1. getting published, and 2. your 2 month blog-a-versary!
I am a pedicure girl! Totally. I get one whenever I have the spare cash, even through the winter… a girl needs pretty toes!

Posted by: Deb | May 22nd, 2007 18:23
WOW! You have an incredible talent. I love what you create and thank you so much for sharing that talent with us. My favorite girlie thing would have to be going shopping - period. I have four children and I do not get to do much of it except through the cyber world.

I always love looking at your work - you inspire me!
I think my latest favourite girlie thing is skirts. There are so many beautiful styles to choose from (I even found one that reminded me of flowery patterned paper, but it was too big. Rats.) Gotta get me more skirts.
Thanks for the amazing giveaway.
Posted by: Tanis | May 22nd, 2007 19:03
I am so excited for you - congrats on being published! How sweet that you share - wonderful blog candy! I love all things girly, but one of my favorite things is to take my ten year old daughter and get our nails and toes done. We get little designs put on our toes and we have a great time - she is a girly girl too! Thanks again *smile* Alex
Posted by: lilstamperalex | May 22nd, 2007 19:12
Congratulations Trudee on being published in the new mag! Will have to pick up that one! Paper Crafts is one of my favortite magazines plus their “extra” mags. Your give-a-way looks super nice (would love to win again but don’t want to be greedy (smile)). My most favortie thing to feel “girly” is to have my daughter give me a massage (she is a massage therapist)! Also getting all of those good treatments when you have your hair done!
Posted by: Eleanor Jenkins | May 22nd, 2007 19:17
WTG on the publication and the bloggiversary!!
It sounds silly, but my favourite girly thing is my hair. I always keep it long enough to frame my face, and no matter how drab or unfeminine I’m feeling all I have to do it tuck a piece behind my ear or twirl it between my fingers and it makes me feel all girl
Posted by: Valerie | May 22nd, 2007 19:25
I love,love, love all things girly! I can spend hours in Sephora oohing and aaahing over all the makeup. I do admit, I’m a hair product and make up junkie. My current faves that I’m addicted to are the Pureology line for haircare and Bare Escentuals for makeup. I’m also really, really partial to Bliss Spa and will have to find some time and money for dh and I to make a quick getaway there again (he’s my favorite spa partner but don’t tell)
Great give away and congrats on being published!
Posted by: Kathy | May 22nd, 2007 19:30
By far it would have to be a pedicure, there is nothing better than pretty toes!
Lisa N.
Posted by: Lisa N | May 22nd, 2007 19:42
Congrats on the anniversary and being published!! I am not much of a girly-girl although I like my rings. My one thing is flowers. I like having flowers outside, I love it when DH sends me flowers (especially out of the blue) and always seem to be drawn to the flowers stamps (daisies). Sometimes I have to remember to broaden my horizons.
Posted by: Rachel | May 22nd, 2007 19:59
Congratulations on being published!!
My favorite “girlie” thing to do has to be taking my granddaughter shopping for clothes. Having raised 3 boys, getting to spend time girlie shopping has to be the best.
Posted by: Inkylin | May 22nd, 2007 20:12
My favorite ‘girly-girl’ thing is having a pedicure, I feel totally relaxed and pampered.
Congratulations on being published and on your anniversary and thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Posted by: Lynda | May 22nd, 2007 20:22
My favorite girly thing is my Coco perfume. I don’t splurge on much for myself but oh how I love my Coco! Congratulations on having your work published.
Teresa
Posted by: Teresa Chapman | May 22nd, 2007 20:30
My favorite girly thing is a pedicure and manicure! Soo relaxing and fun! I only do this about four times per year so it’s always a real treat!
Posted by: Virginia | May 22nd, 2007 20:53
Fresh flowers make me feel VERY feminine.
I love the color purple, and for some reason, it’s much more girly to me than pink.
I also love soft, silky anything…skin, sheets, pajamas. Those things make me feel very feminine.
Congrats on the card publishing!
Posted by: Kristine John | May 22nd, 2007 20:56
My fav. girlie thing is getting my hair cut every 4 weeks so……I do not have to spend more than 2 mins. on my hair-do…….because I am not a girlie girl…..although your girlie give a way looks awesome
Posted by: nancy littrell | May 22nd, 2007 21:02

Posted by: Kristi Saeger | May 22nd, 2007 21:10
Congrats on getting published! My favorite girly thing hands down is a bubble bath. There’s something about sweet smelling bubble, a glass of wine and a few candle to make me feel like myself again and for everything to be right in the world!!
Posted by: Christi | May 22nd, 2007 21:10
Wow how cool to be published!!! Congrats!!!!!!!! I don’t have just one girly thing I have tons!!!!! Purses (GALORE) high heels and nails are my all time favorites though you will find me in pink quite a bit of the time so I guess you have to add that too… Oh I give up I am just a girly girl!!!!!
Posted by: Pam | May 22nd, 2007 21:39

Great minds think alike. I too love PHILOSOPHY.. Espicially their lip glosses. I have them stashed very where. 1 here on my desk at work, 1 in my car, 1 in my purse, 1 next to the kitchen sink, 1 on my night stand and I think there may even be 1 in the bathroom… I’ve even converted one of my friends. She can’t believe how awesome they are.. She has the Mango.. YUMMY..
Posted by: Lisa Moore | May 23rd, 2007 04:13
Congratulations Trudee!!! First of all I didn’t want to read anyone else’s response before I wrote about my *girly thing(s)!*
As you know I recently had surgery. I just *had* to take my Principal Secret skin care routine so I could pamper myself in bed! I finished it off with lip gloss. It something that makes me feel good and I do get compliments about my skin.
But I am totally addicted to having stuff on my lips. Here I was, just out of surgery, finally on my way to my hospital room (totally drugged by the way) with my husband by my side. He said that as I was transferring to my hospital bed the first thing I said to my him was, *Babe, I need my lip gloss.* My lips were so dry and I just wanted to feel good!

Well, considering the fact that I just went to my favorite store, Harold’s, I’d have to say that my favorite girly thing is pretty skirts and accessories. A cute skirt and pretty jewelry to match just makes me feel pretty!
This blog candy is awesome! I totally appreciate your generosity!
Posted by: Vera | May 23rd, 2007 04:37
Congratulations! How absolutely awesome. My favorite girl thing is watching romantic movies with my 15 yd old DD. The boys and dad can do something else and we can watch a good movie.

Love your Trudee Treats, what an awesome selection of goodies. Congrats on being published. I love Papercrafts Mag and will definately have to look for this one, it looks very interesting.
My favorite girly thing would have to be shopping! (well, it is a girly thing!). It’s not something I get to do very often, but every once in awhile, I love to go and splurge on something I want. Thanks for a chance to win some awesome goodies.

Nothing makes me feel more girly than doing my fingers and toesies…….plus it covers up the ink under my nails…..the fingers of course!! Hahaha!!

One of my favorite girly things is to have several pictures of children around my home. I have a large pic of a child fishing, a pic of a child saying a bedtime prayer, and a pic of a mother holding a child. These are not photographs but matted and framed pics.
Posted by: Carol | May 23rd, 2007 06:58
when it come to little girls, I love little girlies in bonnets. When it comes to ‘big’ girls I love bubble baths. Thanks!
Posted by: Amy | May 23rd, 2007 07:00

My favorite “girly” things are watching chick flicks and going shopping.

Posted by: Connie Good | May 23rd, 2007 07:24
My favorite girly things are girl friends and fresh flowers especially Roses I could smell and look at them all day. Oh and Chocolate.. It’s a girly thing… RIght.
Posted by: K Ostvig | May 23rd, 2007 08:02
My favorite girly thing is bubble bath. Don’t ever have a bath without it. I love all the smells and the sound it makes while bathing.(pop,pop,pop)
Posted by: jodene | May 23rd, 2007 08:44
I’m not generally a big fan of girly things, but I do like hair accessories because they can make me look dressed up without too much effort.
Posted by: Nicole | May 23rd, 2007 09:38
Wow, great blog candy! And congrats on the publication, your cards have always been inspiring to me! :o)
As far as girly stuff….I used to love taking a nice relaxing, hot bubble bath. But with 3 kids…that doesn’t happen anymore, LOL! So my favorite thing now would be going to get a pedicure. It’s 30 mins. of pure, quiet bliss!
Posted by: Alora - StampinSweetie | May 23rd, 2007 10:26
My favorite girly thing is anything pink! I LOVE pink!! I always feel extra feminine when I wear pink.
I also LOVE getting my hair done in an expensive salon. It’s one thing that I splurge on that I never feel guilty about. I also love to buy the expensive hair products at the salon.
Great blog candy! Thanks for the chance.
Posted by: Tricia | May 23rd, 2007 11:22
My most favorite girly thing is my spa pedicure that I schedule every month. Every day of the year I have “beautimous toes.” I can’t wait for the new publications to hit the stands. Congratulations on your being published.
Posted by: Charlee | May 23rd, 2007 11:25
Congrats on being published…I’ll be sure to check it out:) I love Bath & Body fragrances so I guess my favorite thing would be to take a nice bubble bath in their latest fragrance and then lather myself afterwards in their pure silk lotion.
Posted by: Linda SS | May 23rd, 2007 11:55
Like many others - my favorite girly thing to do is get a spa pedicure with my mom & sisters. We sit in the massage chairs and laugh, giggle and act like we’re about 12 years old.
Posted by: Ashley Dean | May 23rd, 2007 12:01
I have lots of girly things that I love! From pedicures and bubble baths to dressing my youngest girly,girl. Most of all I love being a mom and a wife!
Posted by: Dara | May 23rd, 2007 13:00
Trudee-
Congrats on being published! You are such an inspiration to stampers/paper crafters everywhere.
My favorite “girly” thing is finding a SEPHORA store, inhaling deeply as I enter, and spending too much money on stuff I might never use.( ..but it sure looks and smells good and makes me feel like a girly girl!)
Posted by: brenda trent | May 23rd, 2007 13:18
Wow, you have a huge response here. Phew!
My favorite girly thing is the color pink. Honestly I have something pink on everyday. Whether it is my pink phone or my purse with pink somewhere, under wear, lip gloss. I even say when I am tired and my eyes turn pink it is a fashion statement. Men can not get away with having so much pink, so it is one of the many reasons I love being a girl!
Hugs and congrats
Posted by: Jennifer | May 23rd, 2007 13:59
Such a big response I doubt I’ll even get picked but I’ll enter anyways!
As for my favorite girly thing… would have to be dresses or skirts. Love to dress up. Finding myself doing it more than just for that special occasion.
Posted by: Amber H. | May 23rd, 2007 14:05
My favorite girly thing is chick flicks! I love a good cry every now and then!
Posted by: Michele | May 23rd, 2007 14:54
I was such a girly-girl as a child that my aunts all called me “Little Miss Fluff”. I’ve pretty much handed over the title to my own 5 yr. old daughter. She is much more of a tomboy than I ever was, but she always insists on pink tennis shoes and pink t-shirt with her rugged blue jeans:)
Posted by: Melissa Roth | May 23rd, 2007 15:29
Congrats Girl! I was so pleased to come home from AZ and have the pub waiting for me and see your lovely artwork.
My favorite girly things are hot tea in my special cup and pedicures….yummy!
Keep livin’ the dream,

Posted by: Teresa R. | May 23rd, 2007 15:35
My favorite girly thing is a manicure and pedicure on the same day and maybe even a facial thrown in. Talk about feeling good and relaxed when you leave the salon.
Posted by: Vivian (VivLyn) | May 23rd, 2007 16:17
OOOOOOOOOooooooooo Great blog candy!!!
I really had to smile when you said girly things–cause I had a habit that I had gotten out of, but not along ago got back into. Once a week I do beauty treatment day…facial mask, finger and toe nails, pluck my eyebrows-well, you get the picture….and my girls, now 7 & 10 participate in the nail polish part of their fingers and toes–we usually eat some sort of treat, and make a big deal out of it.
So. Much. Fun.
(p.s–must to agree with you — love the philosophy products!)

Congrats on being published - good for you!!! Well, I feel kind out of it ’cause I’m not much of a “girly girl”….not in to makeup, jewelry or “spa” treatments….lucky hubby gets off dirt cheap - ha ha! But my favorite indulgance is a LONG, HOT, SHOWER! (And I’ve got the water bill to prove it!)
Posted by: Deenie | May 23rd, 2007 17:22
I love my pink wallet!! It’s my favourite!
Posted by: Caitlin | May 23rd, 2007 18:07
Golly, that’s a great question…it’s honestly either a hot stone massage at a luxurious high-end spa…or finding a killer new pair of high heel shoes! It’s great to be a girl!
Kimberly
Posted by: Kimberly H. | May 23rd, 2007 18:26
Well…. it’s very hard to be a “girly girl” in a house full of boys! I’m living in testosterone city!
I think my absolute favorite girly girl thing would be a nice bubble bath. I know that sounds cliche, but I love HOT water, a million bubbles, a glass of wine, and a good book (or papercrafts mag- hee hee). Love your blog!
Posted by: Sondra Evans | May 23rd, 2007 18:34
My favorite girly thing is just all the girly treats! Manicure, pedicure and hair done! AAHHH! It’s good to be the queen! Thanks for the chance at some stamping treats. More girly goodies.

Posted by: kathy | May 23rd, 2007 18:47
WOW! I love your Violets & Olives!!
For my favorite girly thing, I would choose a nice long massage, complete with hot wax for my hands & feet, hot stones for my back, and aromatherapy for the rest of me
Posted by: Pat S. | May 23rd, 2007 19:11
I like all sorts of jewelry. I also like getting acrylic nails. Having those nails prevents me from putting on some jewelry is it worth it - totally! Congratulations on getting published!
Posted by: janet d. | May 23rd, 2007 19:36
My favorite is Bare Escentuals makeup. Feels like I’m not wearing any makeup at all! Too many other things to list!
Posted by: Peggy Maier | May 23rd, 2007 20:09
My favorite girly thing would be shoes & purses. Thanks for a chance to win some great blog candy!
Posted by: JulieHofer | May 23rd, 2007 20:13
Okay there’s way too much to choose from here! My favorite girly thing(s)…monthly stamp camp (nothing better than time w/ just the girls), soaking in a bath, and last but certainly not least…my weekly trip to Target w/ my daughter
Congrats on being published - how cool is that!
Posted by: Rachel Carmichael | May 23rd, 2007 20:13
My favorite girly thing is a pedi/mani combo! I also love shoes - kitten heels only. I love your blog and check it often!
Posted by: Adelina | May 23rd, 2007 20:35
Whoa - over 200 comments - you go Girl! My favorite girly thing? Wow there are so many…perhaps I should just say the color PINK!
Posted by: Jami | May 24th, 2007 00:15
My favorite girly thing has to be purses and tote bags… Love your blog!
Posted by: Sherrie | May 24th, 2007 04:54
Great blog treats. My favorite girly thing is perfumes and shower creams my favorite scent is Philosphy’s Pure Grace and of course anything Pink. You can’t get more girly than pink!!
Posted by: Susan | May 24th, 2007 04:57
My favorite girly thing is getting a pedicure once a month & bubble gum flavor lip gloss.
Posted by: Goldie | May 24th, 2007 06:29
Congrats on being published, and on your blogging anniversary! I love your stamping style!
As far as girly stuff…..I”m not much of a girly-girl, but I do insist on having polished toes, at least in the summer!
Posted by: JoAnn | May 24th, 2007 06:37
my favorite girly thing is eye makeup, the shadow, liner and mascara, I just love buying it.
Posted by: Mary C | May 24th, 2007 06:40
Congratulations…today’s the day!!!
My favorite girly thing used to be taking ballroom dance lessons.
But, it’s not so girly anymore!
Posted by: Pat S. | May 24th, 2007 08:30
My favorite girly thing is shower gel- I just love freshly scented shower gel like vanilla or a citrus like lime.
Posted by: Heather the Mooselover | May 24th, 2007 08:55
I would have to say scented bubble bath - there is nothing better than a long soak with candles and a good book in a deep soaking tub.
Posted by: Diana | May 24th, 2007 09:14
My most favorite girly thing is 5 inch heels. I am 5′9, so they make me quite tall, but there is something about a great pair of heels that can just make you feel so empowered as a woman. They make you stand out in a crowd and tell the world that you are a WOMAN! They also make me taller than most guys I know..lol.
Posted by: Keva B. | May 24th, 2007 09:51
What a great blog! I want to say that I love your work on SCS too, it’s just beautiful!
Anyway it sounds corny but my favorite girly thing is my 6 mo old daughter. We have two boys (2 & 4) and thought we’d add another brother to the mix…only the brother turned out to be a sister.
We had no idea how much fun we were in for and are thoroughly enjoying our new “girly” baby!
Posted by: Shelly | May 24th, 2007 09:52
Hi! New to your blog and loving it!
I have a few girly things I love. The first is a mommy treat - a spa pedicure! I just love having soaked feet that have been scrubbed and smoothed and painted! The second is also a mommy treat, in a different way. I love baby girl clothes. I have a 1 yo and I love to shop for her. Shopping for her clothes is so much more fun than shopping for clothes for my 3 yo son! ~:-D
Posted by: Tracey | May 24th, 2007 11:12
My favorite girly thing is definitely getting a pedicure. I love having my feet massaged, nails trimmed and painted, and wearing sandals. Actually I love all things girly….no tomboy in me at all!
Posted by: Brenda Cordell | May 24th, 2007 11:18
My favorite girly thing would be pink sequined flip flops. I just love them, I feel all girly, fun and hip when i have them on. Great question!

My favorite girly thing is a great pedicure. Congratulations on being published and thanks for all of your blog inspirations!
Posted by: Whitney | May 24th, 2007 12:23
Hmmm. I used to have so many favorite girly things that I loved and did. Clothing, hair salon, shoes basically anything that was centered on me. Now, since kids and husband, I have had to prioratize what I get for me. Crafts—or clothing. Well, Stamping has won out, but I still love a great perfume and a pink top. Only now I need to wait for Chritmas or Birthday. My new love is Stella rose perfume!
Posted by: Sophia Landry | May 24th, 2007 13:08
Congrats, T! I can’t WAIT to see that magazine!!!! (Nice loot ya’ got there!)
Posted by: Shel9999 | May 24th, 2007 13:34
I wouldn’t consider myself very girly-girl at all!!! If I had to pick one thing though, I love my True Blue Spa products from Bath & Body Works, especially the ‘Heel of Approval’ moisturizing treatment. Your feet’s gotta look good now that summer’s around the corner!
Congrats on the publication! Kudos to you for your generous treats too!
Posted by: Carol | May 24th, 2007 13:54
My absolute favorite thing is pedicures! Oh how I love them, just can’t afford them nearly as often as I would like!
Posted by: Jenny | May 24th, 2007 15:02
My girliest pleasure is pedicures! I really love the OPI “Kinky in Helsinki” polish, so I always bring a bottle of that too!
Posted by: Kim Ross (StampingSpud) | May 24th, 2007 15:19
OMG I LOVE philosophy also. My favorite is their Grace perfumes. I have a different favorite one almost every day, today is Inner Grace. Can’t get enough of all their stuff.
Posted by: Michelle | May 24th, 2007 16:04
My favorite girly thing would have to be a nice warm bubble bath….
Posted by: Rita | May 24th, 2007 16:30
