  1. A massage is the best gift I could give myself … preferably full body, but a neck and back or scalp massage would make me feel pampered as well. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  2. My pampering is simply not needing to feel guilty about curling up with a good book!

  3. To me, pampering is breakfast in bed brought by a loving family member. It always makes me feel special.

  4. When my husband massages my feet–not too often does that happen! Thanks for the chance at those awesome goodies! Me & my 3 daughters would have a blast creating with them!

  5. I recently went to visit my 87 yr. old Mom who lives 3,000 miles
    away from me. She wouldn’t let me do a thing; if I came near the
    sink to help with the dishes she ( playfully) slapped my hand and told
    me to sit down ! I spent my time there at her kitchen table, chatting while
    she prepared scrumptious meals and placing them before me on her
    best china. In the mornings I’d wake up to bowls of berries and
    fresh baked muffins.. To be pampered by my elderly Mom was
    certainly a special weekend for me.

  6. I feel pampered when I have the opportunity to spend time with my 28 year old daughter. She will plan a “girls’ weekend” and we will shop, take stamping classes, work on scrapbooks, watch movies and reminisce about memories of her childhood. It’s a mom’s dream to have a little girl who becomes one of her very best friends! I feel blessed and pampered!

  7. Mary,
    Being pampered is something really special in ones mind. So to me I think I felt the most pampered when my Grand Daughter [5 yrs old] wanted to paint my nails. She wanted to do something special for “Grammy” I felt really pampered!! Thanks for all your great ideas and help every day

  8. Pampering for me means a day in my pjs to drink coffee, surf the web, and make cards!

  9. Pampering to me means peace and quiet especially when designing cards. I don’t want the radio or TV on, just quiet. It’s heavenly. Thanks for the chance to win such a wonder package. Hope it’s me!

  10. Sunrise with a cup of coffee and a good book or SU catalog on the balcony!!!

  11. Oh gosh with twins I don’t get much pampering…but I would love love love to find a quite spot and get lost in a book!!!

  12. I love to be able to sit in my little room and make cards, usually there are to many other things that need to get finished, so my time is limited. Spending an hour making cards is my idea of heaven.

  13. I love being with my family, this is the most wonderful time. We have 4 kids and 17 grandchildren. Pampering is getting to spend time with them and enjoy watching them grow up. Praise God for that marvelous time shared together. Oh, I am also making each one a scrapbook, wow, what a job!!!lol

  14. Pampering means a full body massage and visiting with my massage therapist (she is awesome). She heals my body and my mind!!

  15. I am expecting my third child so feeling pampered right now means a bit of an extra sleep in and then a cuddle with my boys.

  16. My favorite way to feel pampered is a bubble bath, reading my book with the door LOCKED! Thank you for giving us a chance to win your generous giveaway.

  17. Pampering for me is a few hours of uninterrupted alone time to do whatever I feel like at the time. That rarely happens so when it does it feels like heaven.

  18. Having the house to myself is my idea of pampering (busy moms will probably relate)! It doesn’t even matter so much what I *do*… it’s just relaxing all by itself. Thanks for your beautiful cards and endless inspiration, Mary. I know when I open your blog that it’s always going to be something beautiful and well executed!

  19. Having time to sit on a bench with the sun shinning, birds singing on a wonderfull fall day.

  20. My favorite way to spend time is to hike where I can sit along the way and enjoy the flora and fauna to my heart’s delight. Our dog and cat go along with me to add to my pleasure. Some scenes I have observed remain in my memory like fawns playing in a field while their mothers eat. Precious!

  21. I love going crafting shopping – that’s pampering to me! Now that makes me happy!

  22. I think a day at the spa with my best friend followed by a nice lunch/dinner with lots of laughs & Moscato!

  23. Dinner at a nice restaurant with my husband and the kids is my favorite! I love a nice glass of wine with dinner, and would enjoy it any way as long as I’m not cooking it! To top off the best evening out? Coming home to a clean house … no dinner dishes in the sink!!

  24. Pampering is some peaceful alone time … with a husband, 3 boys and a dog, it doesn’t happen often! Thanks for the chance to win!

  25. Mine would be going to an Atlanta Braves baseball game. I love those Braves and the games are soooooooo fun. I love the blog candy – have fun in St. George.

  26. My idea of pampering would be a little peace and quiet! Nothing is nicer than a little “me” time for some reading, with a glass of red wine and nothing else to worry about!

  27. My favorite way to be pampered is with a massage from my husband. He’s fantastic and we play soft music, use fragrant lotion.

  28. I love when I have a massage and pedi/manicure then come home and work in my craft room. The day just couldn’t get any better. Have a great time and glad you are doing better.

  29. My favorite pampering time is getting my hair done (cut and highlighted) and having a pedicure – aaahhh so relaxing.

  32. Spending time with my adorable 19 year old daughter. She is my best friend and the most awesome kid a parent could ask for!

  33. I think pampering is to be with my bestest friend and stamping all day. It is very relaxing being around someone that makes you smile all day.

  34. Wellllll, I love dogs so if I take a note from their lives, I guess a good scratch behind the ears and tummy rub would be great. A dog treat or toy is also a sure way to please! But since I’m not a dog… your blog candy would surely do the pampering trick for me!!!

  35. My favorite way to be pampered is a hot stone massage. Oh…so relaxing! Love the blog candy and appreciate your fun and creative blog!

Coming in from a long day at work, to find my husband has a table set in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace, dinner is ready to be served, soft music is playing and he’s even made dessert. I’ll I have to do is sit down and spend time with the man that makes me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. He also like to help with stamping projects – but don’t tell his buddys! Smiles & Hugs ~

  37. My favorite time is having a quiet afternoon with nondistractions and some new Stamping Up products or taking a trip to Hobby Lobby with a little cash to spend

  38. I can definitely say that even tho it is relatively short, I would pay good money to get a shampoo with scalp massage. Oooooo I just melt!

  40. Pampering to me is a day in PJs with a glass of wine ,a good book and complete silence! Thanks for a chance to win a great prize!

  41. Full body massage for this girl. Feel like a limp noodle. That said, my husband is a great cook (and usually does all the work) so we rarely eat out. I still covet a romantic dinner out with a play or movie and my sweetie. 🙂

  42. Pampering to me is stampin and scrappin with friends. And of course there is always Chocolate involved! 🙂

  43. Being pampered is a weekend getaway with my husband, for a couple of days of hiking followed by a relaxing swim and hot tub at a nice hotel. No email, no phone calls allowed!

  44. Simple: a day completely to myself! (It may seem small, but to me, it would feel like being spoiled!)

  45. Panera Bread tea and apple cinnamon crunch muffin is very enjoyable to have while sitting by the pool or a nice setting outdoors and a day without having to watch the time.

    Veronica

  57. I love a good pedicure. I can’t wait to see what type of pampering you get on your trip.

  58. My idea of pampering would be a divine Stampin Up Room, filled with every item available for my picking!!! Cards galore!!! and a pedicure would be nice too! LOL!!

  59. For me to feel really pampered is when I get a massage. I feel so relaxed and it’s always so quite and it feels so calming. So, that is what I love and when I feel pampered.

  60. The most pampered I’ve ever felt was when I was gifted with a “hot rocks full body massage.” It was heaven, but not something I can afford to give myself, normally. I would recommend it to those unfamiliar with this treat though! On a smaller scale, it is always nice to get a great pedicure in the spa/massage chairs—I become a puddle when they throw in a leg massage and hot towels!

  61. My favorite way to be pampered is to not have to make dinner!! I make homemade dinners almost exclusively, so when we go out to eat or are traveling, I LOVE not having to make dinner for 4!!

  62. My pampering is a trip to the Massage therapist! I love Deep tissue massages, with a nature CD playing in the background.

  63. I like having a free day to spend whatever way I choose! The freedom to do anything I want to makes me feel pampered!

    Thanks for a chance to win such fun blog candy!

  64. I love it when I can stay in my PJs, and I could stay in my arts and crafts as long as I could
    now that’s what I call MY TIME !!!!

  65. My husband bought me a gift certificate one time for a Queen’s Day at my salon and oh my was it the best….facial,makeup, full massage, manicure, pedicure and hair styled with lunch carried to me in between. So much fun and to top if off, he took me out to dinner afterwards. But on a more simple side, there is nothing better than time in my stamp room or curled up with a hot chocolate and good book with nothing else to do.
    Hope you have a great trip!

  66. Hi Mary!

    My favorite way to be pampered is just not having to leave the house and having my kids and husband all home at the same time!! It seems like a rarity these days to have everyone home at the same time!
    Also wanted to let you know how inspired I am by your daily posts. You are so creative and it helps me so much to look at what you do and try to do the same as I am not so creative. Thank you for sharing and giving your time. 🙂

  67. Oh my, you have 900 comments, mine being 901. I’m not surprised though, your blog rocks!

    Like many people I love getting a mani/pedi done and of course the massage/facial is like heaven, but a wonderful day with pampering is having my favorite Starbucks coffee and curling up with a book to read. My pups are usually lying right beside me. And then of course escaping to the new envelope maker. 🙂

    Thank you for blog candy contest! Hope your stampin up vaca is fabulous.

  68. My idea of pampering myself would definitely have to be a whole day in my craft room with NO phones and either the radio on or listening to a good book on my kindle while I work on some much needed cards:-. ” my perfect day “.

  69. Thank you for the amazing envelope liner tutorial!!

    My fav way to be pampered – it’s anything that involves me not having to worry about everyone else, schedules, etc. So, simply losing track of time, focusing my thoughts in my creating (stamping/scrapping), reading a book, a bubble bath, listening to my fav music. I’m not picky……I call it “Being off the clock”. 🙂

  70. Pampering for me is getting to go to a crop so i can work on my scrapbooking!! Thanks for the chance to win!

  71. Pampering for me is a mani/pedi. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does. Ooo La La!!! Have a great time in St. George and can’t wait to see your pretties 🙂

  72. Pampering is a warm bath and hubby watching the kids! This is an amazing giveaway!

  73. Pampering to me is a bubble bath with a good book; someone else fix dinner and papercrafting the day away!

  74. My idea of being pampered is to spend many hours in my craft room working on the various projects I have under way. I love making cards and scrap booking!

  75. My favorite pampering is getting “the works” mani/pedi! Soooo relaxing & something to show for it afterwords. My little productive indulgence!!

  76. Pampering for me is being left alone in my “craft zone” to create my cards. That is not too difficult since my husband and I are empty-nesters (and have been for over 9 years) 🙂 My husband is wonderful and doesn’t complain when I spend an entire day in my “zone”. It is so relaxing to me. THAT is pampering to me.

  77. Pampering for me, is a day out on the boat, with my husband and our two pups. Nothing more relaxing than being on the water. Thanks Mary for the giveaway!

  78. To me the ideal pampering is a Saturday free to stamp from sun up to sun down while my husband and son do my Saturday house cleaning!! They actually give me that gift every once in a while!!

  79. I love a pedicure. The massage part of it, is wonderful. Then my pretty toe nails make me happy all month.

  80. When I want (or need) to feel pampered, I like to lay in bed with a diet coke and some kind of treat, watching Golden Girls and looking through craft or flea market magazines for inspiration.

  81. There’s nothing like sitting and enjoying the wonderful tastes and smells of a coffee shop that spells out pampering for me!

  82. Visiting my daughter and son-in-law and having them prepare one of their gourmet dinners makes me feel pampered and very special.

  83. To me, being pampered is to have someone clean my house! Well, that’s not going to happen, so I’ll settle for being in my PJs all day, no makeup, reading and stamping … no interruptions … without someone asking when’s lunch or supper. Have a wonderful time in St. George, and thanks SO much for a chance to win some amazing products.

  84. There’s nothing that says pampering to me more than a nice mani and pedi. It makes me feel good all over. Hope you’re having a great time.

  85. Pampering for me means precious TIME. Time to do the things around the house that make me feel good, such as converting all of my wood mounted stamps to save storage space.

  86. Pampering to me is home alone with no demands on my attention or time.. Whether I’m reading or crafting or just relaxing. . . no one calling for my attention or time is a luxury!! Pure Bliss to not have the creative flow interrupted!!
    I just found you yesterday… when I googled how to line a card with the punch board!!! Was impressed, and thus am now following you .. Thank you for all your hard work and efforts for us stampers out here!!

  87. My idea of pampering is just having a day to do whatever I wanted to. Lately life seems so busy and it feels like I never have time to just sit and do nothing.

  88. Sneaking in an afternoon nap with my cats is my way of pampering. Of course an afternoon of crafting is a close second!

  89. I’m physically limited so now a days to be pampered would be to be hugged by my husband and grand kids without any pain. Love to be hugged and sending one out to you Mary and have a great time in St. George.

  90. Pampering for me would be a nice relaxing body massage at the spa with no thoughts of rushing to get something else done while I’m enjoying the pampering!

  91. For a quick pampering, I love getting my hair cut!! I find having my hair shampooed very, very relaxing. I brings me back to when I was very young and my dad would rub my head gently to put me to sleep. It works like a charm, even now!!

  92. I love getting my hair and nails done. Makes me want to come home and nap. Have a great time in Utah!

  93. My favorite way to pamper myself is to schedule a massage then come home and soak in a HOT tub and read a book.

  94. Pampering for me is a pedicure and being able to sit in one of the massage chairs soaking my feet. It is one time that I don’t mind if there are people in front of me!

  95. Simple pleasures are sometimes the best… love to spend the day with a good friend, “road tripping” to an out of the way spot for lunch, and catching up.

    Enjoy your trip!

  96. Living a simple life, for me being pampered for is having my husband cook me my favorite dinner, sitting at our dining room table with candle light and NOT having to do the dishes afterward!

  97. The most amazing pampering experience is when I get a facial. The woman I go to is fantastic. It is the one time I am so totally relaxed – sometimes I even fall asleep. HEAVEN!

    Michelle G

  98. If i can get a few minutes in my craftroom just playing with my stampinup goodies I am in heaven!!

  99. Thanks Mary .. My favorite thing to pamper is when Im in my work room , and I get busy Creating …, cleanup and then really tired and going to bed .come out ,you think you’ve been in there maybe an hour and a half to two hours and you been in there for four.. Uninterrupted bliss… I always sleep like a baby and wake up with even more ideas..enjoy your trip …yours in ink Anne

  102. I love having my tween grand kids over for a slumber party. The next morning we hang out in our PJs and watch movies. I turn the kitchen over to them. They usually make homemade cookies and milk shakes for our breakfast. I feel totally pampered. Their laughter heals my soul.

  103. Favorite way to be pampered….a massage and pedicure escapade….totally relaxing and very girly with my freshly painted toes!
    🙂

  104. I love getting a mani and pedi! When I get a chance I love to go wine tasting and then go to the spa afterwards.

  105. Massages are right at the top of my list! Those would be followed by pedicures, sleeping in, and nothing on my calendar for the day. Nice.

  106. Pampering for me means not having to get up and be able to stay in my pjs for as long as I want. To have my meals cooked for me (Peruvian Lomo Saltado would be great!). And having time to paper craft!

  107. My idea of being pampered is to be treated to a spa day with hair, mani/pedi and a massage! There is nothing better! Thanks for the opportunity to win and enjoy your days of pampering.

  108. Pampering for me is a message & good cup of white chocolate mocha! Enjoy St George & thanks for all the inspiration!

  109. A day at the spa, returning home to a clean house and dinner on the table that wasn’t prepared by me!

  110. The few times a year my husband and I steal away for a couple of days to reconnect always feels like pamper time for me, he treats me special and makes me feel like a queen. Lucky me!

  111. This may be a little different but pampering to me is when my husband and 6 year old son make me a breakfast together (it makes me so relaxed hearing them laugh and talk together and i do not have to do anything) and then they let me relax the morning reading or they go out golfing and I get the house to myself.

  112. I love a pedicure, nice when a friend can go with me and enjoy the time together.
    Deby

  113. Pampering for me is a weekend getaway, it’s nice to spend time away from being busy around the house.

  114. Pampering for me means anything that will help me take that long breath that I’ve been needing to take and focus inward instead of on those around me (which is always with a military family of four!). It could be as simple and happy as paper crafting with a good friend and some junk food or as fancy as a mani/pedi and some shopping. We all, but especially us gals, need moments from time to time to recharge in whatever way helps us be a better “us.” Thanks for the chance to win such lovely goodies! 😉

  115. I feel so pampered when I get an ultimate spa foot pedi, complete with hot stones and my feet soaked in hot wax! And I can’t forget the flower design painted on my big toes. Just divine!

  116. For me pampering is getting a pedicure. I hate yucky feet so it is a necessity, but also some much needed “me” time! Enjoy your trip, can’t wait to hear all about it! Thanks for an opportunity to win some goodies, so very sweet of you :o)

  117. Pampering….hmmm. What exactly is that? Lol. Having a 4 year old girl and a special needs 6 year old boy, my idea of relaxing is taking a shower or believe it or not, doing laundry (all by myself, without the kids around).

  118. My idea of pampering is a relaxing Swedish massage. Oh such sweet ecstasy! Jy tomita

  119. My pampering is dinner at my favorite tiny little Thai restaurant with my BFF of 20 years…usually a 4 to 5 hour dinner- the little Thai guy just smiles at us as we share our lives with each other- laughing and sometimes a tear or two. We usually get together each month but tonight it had been 6 weeks since we have seen each other, and we live only 15 minutes away!

  120. A massage! 🙂 I love foot rubs, too! 🙂 and coffee, and hugs…I’m easy to please!
    Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂

  121. Pampering is when my husband says “I will shop and do the dishes while you stamp”. He pampers me all the time. Enjoy your trip.

  122. My favorite pampering is to have “free” time to play with my Stampin’ Up goodies with all of my children out of the house. It is a rarity!

  123. Hi Mary -enjoy stamping in St. George ! I’m due to be released from the hospital tomorrow or Friday (10 days this time — for a total of 9weeks) and boy could I use some pampering – perhaps a massage and a facial would make me feel so much better. I have to have 6 to 12 weeks of IV antibiotics but in answer to my prayers, I might be able to have this done at my home. I can’t wait to stamp again and maybe even start on my holiday cards! Thanks for a chance at great blog candy.

  124. Love to be taken out to eat one of my favorite dishes and the cleaning done for me.

  127. Pampering? Can’t get mani/pedi now because I haven’t found job yet, but that would be first choice. So… I love to get a hair cut about 3-4 times a year. I LOVE the shampoo part (like the gal in the tv commercial….ooh aah, ooh aah! Hope you enjoy every minute in Utah Mary…..how fun!

  128. I love having my hair washed at the salon. I love having my hair cut and styled, too. That’s my idea of pampering.

    Jill

  129. Arising on a Saturday morning before anyone else is up, enjoy my coffee with a good book, snuggled under a blanket on our kitchen couch. Solitude is lovely! Really enjoy your creations, Mary.

  130. Pampering is having my children do all the laundry and putting it away. Hope you are having a great time!

  131. nothing can get much better than having a manicure/pedicure with your girlfriends & of course a little card making.

  132. I pamper myself by buying a box of chocolate covered strawberries and indulging myself with every single one of them.

  133. Pampering to me is definitely a foot massage and pedicure : ) There’s nothing like paying someone I don’t know massage and make my feet pretty. And even better when it’s after a day of shopping. This doesn’t happen very often to me so when it does it’s so great!

  134. Oh wow, hope you have a great time and get lots of pampering in. hmmmm, I would say my favorite way to feel pampered is when my husband rubs my feet at the end of a long day, and he does this almost weekly, so I am a pretty pampered and spoiled wife, lol. Fabulous give a way, thanks for the chance to win.

  135. A whole day in my craft room, with hubby dealing with dinner is my ultimate nirvana! Hope you have a wonderful time in St. George!

  136. My favorite way I like to be pampered is when my husband cooks dinner. That is such a treat for me. While he is cooking, I spend that time in my card room usually putting finishing touches on my latest card. Mary, you are such an amazing person. I appreciate your daily blog and your WOW videos. Thanks

  137. A massage is my ideal pampering. I hold all of my stress in my shoulders, so the rare massage I get is treasured.

  138. It’s been forever, but when I feel the most pampered, is when I get a couple days away with my husband, and we go out to eat at a nice restaurant, and I get a pedicure and massage.

  139. My idea in pampering when I can afford to buy scrapbooking products and be able to spend time in my hobby room to be creative. Love to be in my hobby room!

  140. pampering…I’m not sure what that is any more. It took three weeks to find time to get my nails done. I love bubble baths with music and candles. Unfortunately even though we have a garden tub the onl time I get to do that is when we go to Gatlinburg.

  141. Pampering for this old lady is being able to sleep late, Paddling around the house in my PJ’s all day long. A glass of freshly brewed Iced Tea always near-by, and then retreat to my own little world in my scrapbooking room and create. Making everything and nothing too.

  142. I have not been able to see my post on here so I am sending this: My idea of pampering is to be able to sit in my stamping area and work on my card making which relaxes me so much and of course this is after a pedicure. Enjoy your well deserved trip! Thank you for the chance to win this great blog candy!

  143. I’ve never had a full body massage, but from reading what others posted, I might have to try it soon!! Thanks for the chance to win and hope you have a great time!!

  144. I love to be pampered by having someone else wash my hair, maybe a pedicure and then someone else figuring out what is for dinner and cooking it for. ME! Then a great book and lots of quiet time to enjoy it.

  145. Pampered is getting some quality time with my husband. We have such busy lives that it is always nice to just be together without phone, text, email and the like.

  146. I am sitting in a dreadful, freezing, mind-numbing workshop at the moment and all I can think about is getting out and going for a walk. That is how I’d like to be pampered at this moment! Thanks for the fabulous blog and great give away Mary!

  147. Pampering…now that’s a term I haven’t been able to enjoy. Just small thing, no cooking, no cleaning, and all time to stamp in my room.

  148. Sounds silly but my favorite “pampering” is when I am able to take my horse to the beach right as it opens to start the day off right! Makes for a MUCH better mood and day!! Enjoy Utah!

  149. My idea of being pampered would be a massage and pedicure/manicure. I have recently los 75 lbs, and now in constant disarray, due to size changes. So, the above would be wonderful and then of course having a day to do just my stamping and making a bunch of cards for the holidays. Thanks Mary.

  150. Hope you have a fabulous trip! I’m sure you’ll be very pampered by Stampin Up. My favorite pampering is to get a pedicure. I love just going & relaxing for a couple hours. Plus, I get beautiful toes out of the process!

  151. So, I don’t get a lot of pampering BUT I just snagged a great deal on a combination 60-minute massage, manicure, pedicure & glass of wine for less than $100. Whoo hoo! Now that is going to be a lovely afternoon. Thanks for the opportunity to win Mary!

  152. Pampering is having a day to myself to do what ever I choose which could be spending the day stamping, quilting, baking or a spa treatment.

  153. My idea of pampering would be to be let loose in the Stampin’ Up warehouse to use whatever supplies and stamps I want for a day.

  154. Pampering is coming home from work and my hubby has dinner already on the table. Love your blog and thanks for the change to win.

  155. Pampering for me is just about any type of salon treatment… but tonight I had a salon treatment that I was surprised at how relaxed it made me… after the fact. I had my legs waxed, in preparation for our beach vacation that starts on Saturday!!

  156. Pampering for me is coming home from a long day of work, and having nothing to do when I get there because my loving husband has already done everything. Then i get to do whatever I want for the rest of the evening.

  157. My pampering is when my husband says I should sit down and relax, and he’ll make supper for us. I can go visit stamping sites on the internet, read a book, stamp some cards, or do nothing at all, while he makes us a scrumptious meal. My hubby is one of the best, and really makes me feel pampered.

  158. Pampering…

    Having my hubby make dessert, while I snuggle up by the fire with a good book.

  159. Pampering for me is spending a long weekend camping. That is the only time I get to relax and not feel like I should be doing something else!

  160. I just get in my recliner, pull a blanket over me and snooooooooooooooooze. And try not to look at my paper supplies strewn over every surface of my kitchen!
    Love your ideas!

  161. Mary,

    This is an awesome Blog Candy giveaway … I never win … but I always try … I feel pampered when someone else cooks me a nice meal .. or takes me out for dinner … which doesn’t happen often .. but when it does it’s always special.

    Thanks again,

  162. I treat myself to a hot bubble bath then my jammies and a good book, all snuggled up with a warm golden retriever granddog!

  163. Having someone cook dinner for me from start to finish and………taste good!

  164. These days with two little kids my idea of pampering is a trip to the store by myself!! 🙂

  165. Pampering for me is to have a facial with my friend who has an awesome and very soothing spa. After the wonderful facial, I love to come home to read and/or do some stampin’ 🙂

  166. I pamper myself by making cards and other paper products. Right now I’m working on a Thanksgiving project and I couldn’t be more relaxed.

  167. I pamper myself by sitting is a quiet room and reading a great book. When I get pampered my husband goes to the bedroom and leaves me to peace and quiet. Lol

  168. My favorite way to spend spa time is in my scrapbook/stamp room just piddling around.

  169. Pampering…. Wow, been a long time since I’ve done that 🙂 Have to say pedicure & manicure. Thanks for the opportunity to win and for all the amazing ideas over the years!

  170. My favorite way to relax and feel pampered is to get a 90 min. massage followed by a pedicure and manicure.

  171. Pampering includes a day spent crafting with my talented girl friends. So enjoy your blog!

  172. Is it bad to say I like it all??? Pampering means being self indulgent for a time… Since that isn’t the norm for me. Doing things I love, special treats, not doing things I don’t enjoy, and the list goes on. Hope you enjoy your pampering!

  173. I would have to say eating out would be a very nice way to be pampered.
    Who does not like pampering!

  174. Ahh, pampering. I would love a body wrap treatment followed by a scrub, and then a good full body massage. Bliss! Hope you’re having lots of fun over there! =)

  175. I love how pampered I feel after having a spa mani/pedi. I always feel like a kid with a new pair of shoes because I can’t quit looking at my pretty painted toenails!!!

  176. Pampering for me is having the house to myself to do whatever I want to do!

    Enjoy St George!

  177. Pampering is not having to be anywhere that day and I can sleep later and leisurely begin my day. A foot rub would be over the top!

  178. For me it is a pan fried rainbow trout dinner at any historic National Park lodge after a day of hiking!

  179. Anytime my husband takes the kids and I get to choose is my pampering. Sometimes I choose to stamp, or get a pedicure, or go shopping, or read a book uninterrupted, or even catch up on sleep. Anytime I get to choose what I do is a luxury!

  180. I love being able to relax and read (uninterrupted)a good book AFTER going out for a great dinner! I say “why settle for just ONE relaxing thing!” LOL

    Hope you have fun in Utah…..oh heck, what am I saying? I just KNOW you will! How can you not, right? It IS SU after all!

  181. Pampering is now a common word to me since I retired…spending hours on end in my craft room no longer makes me feel guilty.

  182. A massage is great…and so is a manipedi but I feel really pampered when someone else does the laundry!!

  183. For me, a busy grandmother of 12, pampering is a day with no appointments, no grandchildren and just doing whatever suites my fancy in any given moment! Those days are few and far between, but that’s what makes them so enjoyable!

  184. Oh, Mary, do I envy you all the stamping/pampering with Stampin’ Up…Have fun! Thank you for the opportunity to win this stamping and pampering blog candy!! You are so generous!!!

    P.S. Hope it’s cooler there than it is here in Tucson!

  185. Pampering is having my sister with me to enjoy a day of shopping, eating, and pedicures!

  186. Getting together with my gal friends for a weekend of stamping. Of course also having a top chef cooking our meals. 🙂

  187. I’m pretty easy. Just give me a night off from cooking dinner. Let me prop my feet up for 30 minutes after I get home. Enjoy your “Stampin’ Up” style pampering!!

  188. Pampering for me would be to play in my Studio with a cup of coffee & a piece of chocolate. That’s the good life.

  189. How sweet of you to pampered us too! One of my favorite things is a good foot massage! I love getting a pedicure and would totally pay extra for them to rub my feet a little longer!

  190. I feel pampered when I go get my hair done I love when some else washes my hair it’s just so relaxing.

  191. I love to Curl up in an easy chair with a glass of ice tea and a good book. Soft music in the background as an extra treat. I enjoy your cards and videos. Have a great time in Utah.

  192. A day out with my Stampin’ Up friends. Talking over lunch and then taking in a movie.

  193. I pamper myself by taking a long, hot bath….even when it’s 100 degrees outside. 🙂

  194. I feel pretty lucky and pampered when I get a few hours all to myself to stamp, stamp, stamp!!

  198. I’d like an uninterupted nap with no time restraints, then spending money to go scrapbook shopping and lunch or dinner out with my best friend… thats my kind of pampering:)

  199. I guess at home I am pretty simple. I feel pampered when someone else cleans up after I have cooked a great meal. My ultimate pampering is a week on a ship with family & friends.
    Mary you are such an inspiration. CAS is my toughest style. I would LOVE to win this awesome blog candy so I can work on my CAS!!!

  200. Make me a nice cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer, add a toasted bagel and let me curl up with the Sunday papers. Refill coffee and it’s off to work my way through the crossword puzzle. Ahhh, happiness.

    My type of pampering is to have time to sit and read a book and sip on some green tea! It’s ideal!

    Thanks for the blog candy!!

  203. My favorite pampering would have to be uninterrupted crafting time! Although, a shopping spree to the bookstore is a real close second!!

  204. Pampering is by far a massage and a quiet time to relax and enjoy the small things in life. My relaxing time is creating ! ! !! Stamping my Art Out Veronica Meyer

  205. pampering to me is when my husband picks up the children from day care, and I come home to a dinner on the table, kids bath and house is clean and organized and the only thing I have to do is take a relaxing shower and watch my favorite show while getting some cuddles from the kiddos before nite nite…

  206. Being pampered means I get to choose how to spend the day, most likely reading. It would also mean someone else cooking a meal or a fabulous dessert.

  207. Just a night out with my hubby, which we haven’t had in 9 months since we have 2 little boys and just moved to a new city.

  208. I think about the closest I have come to being pampered is at a Pampered Chef party! LOL!

  209. My idea of a good pamper day is…. soft music playing in the background, a glass of wine, a few pieces of chocolate, and no one home to interrupt me with my good book…. 🙂

  210. Pampered is having someone clean up the kitchen and do the dishes after I have prepared and served a favorite meal that I have cooked!

  211. Mary what a wonderful blog candy gift! I would love to be the winner!
    I don’t get to get pampered very often but when I do it’s usually a day at the spa.. massage, mani/pedi, facial.
    And…. it’s been a long time since that’s happened! hugs.

  212. I love it when my hubby pampers me with a nice dinner out at our favorite restaurant followed with a foot massage and nice coffee drink. He’s the best guy ever!

  225. Pampering for me is a good massage and pedicure to follow. Just thinking about it now puts a smile on my face 🙂

  226. My all-time favorite way to feel pampered is with a deep tissue massage. Being a full-time student, employee, wife and mother of two is hard work on your body and a deep tissue massage just takes it all away. Kinda like that Calgon commercial…’just take me away!’

  314. First – have a wonderful and save trip to Utah. It’s the little things that my husband does for me. Ex: When it’s cold out he’ll go and warm up my car so that it’s nice and warm when I have to go out or when He knows I’ve had a long day he makes dinner or when he knows that i need something special while I’m busy with crafting he’ll help me out, and the list could go on. It’s all the little things that most people take for granted that he makes me feel special and pampered.

  315. For me, pampering looks like a glass of red wine, a beautiful & elegant dinner, followed by a little time in front of a raging fire….AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Relaxed!

  316. My most favorite way to get pampered is going to Memories Manor B&B in St.Clair,MI. I am going this coming weekend !!! with 5 of my Stamping Ladies.
    The weekend is wonderful, staying in this 10,000 sq ft manion. The rooms are beautiful, the stamping rooms are great and the food is to die for. The owners treat you like Queens all weekend.

  317. My favorite pampering idea is a spa day with a pedicure and full body massage. I feel so relaxed afterwards like I’m floating on a cloud.

  318. Oh, pampering– a day off work to do nothing but stamp, stamp, stamp! These products would be soooo great to have.

  319. pampering for me is sitting in my chair
    with my Bailey-Boo. She is an 11 lb Lhasa,
    Bichon, Poodle & Chihuahua. quite a mix
    and adorable.

  320. One of my favorite ways to get pampered is when I go to my salon to get my hair washed and add on a scalp massage on top of that. Something about it takes me back to when I was a baby and my mom would wash my hair for me. Oh, memories! =)

  321. One of the ways I feel pampered is some time in the hot-tub with a good book and a snack to eat.
    Thanks so much for this generous giveaway and your great blog.

  322. Pampered – everyday, my husband just smiles and laughs whenever I tell him of a new Stampin Up purchase. Lucky me!

  323. I feel pampered when I can sleep in a big, fluffy hotel or resort bed full of pillows and white linens. Thanks for the give away!

  324. Nothing fancy for me, just time to sit and watch a whole movie at one time ~ with a bowl of popcorn !!

  325. When my daughter was little, she’d give me a foot massage with peppermint oil. Heaven!! She’s grown now, so a pedicure at a salon is what I enjoy.

  326. Pampering to me would be a day of stampin in my craft room. That would make my day!

  327. A pc of chocolate and a rubber stamp in my hand and time to create a card …

  328. A piece of chocolate and a rubber stamp in each hand and 2 hours of free time to create a card to give away is my pampering LOL

  329. True pampering for me is when my husband cleans the house (or at least helps!), then cooks dinner & does the dishes afterwards, & then entertains the kids so that I can have time to do whatever I want to do. Those things don’t happen often, but when they do I can be found in my craft room immersed in beautiful Stampin’ Up products!

  330. Pampering to me is a little time in the hot tub, strawberry lemonade and some card making all while someone else cleans up my house! Thanks for the chance to share and play along!

  331. For me, the ultimate pampering is a full body massage. In real life I usually have a head massage while my hair dresser is giving me a shampoo.

  332. With a husband & 3 teenagers in the house, my idea of pampering is sitting alone in a quiet room reading my favorite magazine! I also don’t mind tossing in a mani/pedi in the mix. 🙂

  333. When my husband says here’s a $100.00 and go buy yourself some Stamping supplies. He definitely knows how to pamper me. 🙂 Thanks for a chance to win Mary!

  334. Hmmm, pampered… not sure if i have really ever been pampered! I would feel pampered to win these items and have a long, full day to play with them!

  335. Pampering means the husband cares for the kids while I get sent to the spa to enjoy the termes, hot tubs, and a relaxing massage. Then I come home to a clean house and dinner. 🙂

  336. Pampering to me is night to do anything I wanted! If it is stamping, going shopping or reading a good book! A good meal and not having to do the dishes or cleaning up the kitchen is also good!

  337. Pampering for me is staying in my PJ for the whole day stamping and making cards, and my husband takes care of everything else. ??^_^??

  338. Pampering for me is getting to have some one on one time with my hubby having a “date night” enjoying some Hawaiian food and going to a Hawaiian concert afterwards.

  339. Pampering means going to a spa for the morning, going out to lunch with a friend, and having some time to stamp at home (while my husband has the kids busy and out of the house).

  340. The best way I like to be pampered is laying by the pool, music going & friends to share it with me. Sooo relaxing!

  341. Sunday breakfast in bed, made (and cleaned up!) by the children, and reading the newspaper while I enjoy the omelette, bacon, hash browns, and coffee

  342. My idea of pampering is when everyone is gone, I start the day with a long hot bubble bath with listening to Kenny G and soak in the peace and quiet. Then I head out to the mall to find myself something that is just for me, (like jewelry!!!!!!!) Then I go into my scrapbooking room, shut the door turn on some music that touches my creative side and have fun… I am so glad I found Stampin Up..

  343. Have a wonderful trip! We look forward to seeing the pictures!

    My favorite way to feel pampered is to take a day off with my husband, and take a day trip getaway.

  344. My favorite way to pamper myself is a beautiful quiet morning spent in my craft room. No makeup, no hair products, no rushing out to work….just a morning to relax as my natural self making cards with no interruptions.

  345. Ahh, pampering oneself is…how should I put this… like having unlimited chocolate and not putting on a pound! I do enjoy my pedicures and having my feet massaged even though it tickles! Thanks, Mary, for the chance at some candy blog!

  346. Pampering to me is having everybody in the house leave with something to do. turning off all noise elements and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the quiet.

  347. Pampering to me is having the time to play with my stamps, create cards, or reading. My own form of escape from the daily routine.

  348. Pampering for me is time to do what I want…playing with my stamps, creating cards, or reading. Kind of an escape into an alter reality!

  349. Pampering for me is going to a spa nearby where in between treatments, you can go to the “quiet room” and read/nap.

  350. My favorite full day of pampering is a pedi and a massage. Then on to no cooking or housework for a day…..topped off with doing some card making without interruptions…in my own little creative world.
    Enjoy Utah.
    Sue

  351. What’s my favorite way to be pampered you ask…?
    Well that’s something that has only happened once…
    a long relaxing massage 🙂

  352. When someone mentions pampering to me it’s only one thing…..full-body massage. Nothing better than a quiet, relaxed setting with soft, soothing music in the background and all your tired, sore muscles being soothed by experienced healing hands……nope! nothing better for sure! ahhhhhhhh….time to schedule that long overdue appointment with the massage therapist!
    Happy travels Mary

  353. When my hubby makes me dinner and gives me a back massage. That’s when I feel pampered!

  354. Pampering to me is sitting out on the patio on cool, crisp autumn days and evenings listening to the sounds of nature and inviting that cool breeze to lull me to sleep. Thanks for the chance to win the wonderful blog candy. I hope you enjoy your pampering in Utah! I live in Orem, Utah and can enjoy the state’s beauty all the time. I am truly blessed.

  355. When my husband and I went to Maine recently, toward the end of our trip, we had a 90 minute massage and then went and had a wonderful lobster salad for lunch! I felt totally pampered! I also felt pampered every morning while having my coffee on the deck. Our cottage overlooked the lake and it was so beautiful and peaceful! Thanks, Mary, for all your inspiration. You are my go to gal!!

  356. Thank You Mary for the chance to win some blog candy. Pampering for me would be to spend the day in my craft room with no interruptions. Enjoy your time in St. George. Can’t wait to hear all about it.

  357. My favorite way to be pampered is to have a massage from my husband with great music playing! Ahhhh…. Second best is to have uninterrupted papercrafting time! Ahhhh….

  358. Pampering for me is coffee, quiet, and either stamps or a good book. With.3 boys at my house, quiet is a rare commodity!

  359. oh please let me have a pedicure. Thank you for offering the blog candy. My up up line is on her way to St Geroge too.. Sue leader of 5 Star Stampers. Have fun

  360. Pampering for me is when our 3 yr old granddaughter Hayden & I are together, & she wants to help me with everything….cooking, baking, laundry or to just cuddle on the couch to watch a movie and enjoy our popcorn….being with her is TRULY all the pampering I need! 🙂

  361. For me, pampering is having the night off from cooking dinner! Hope that you have a great trip and thanks for the wonderful inspiration!

  362. I body massage followed by a nap always is a great stress reliever and a fun way to be pampered!

  363. My favorite way to be spa pampered is to get my nails and toes done, a massage then home where I can play undisturbed in my craft/sewing room. This has not happened in way too long! I would love to win. Have a great time on your trip.

  364. A massage! Nothing can beat a nice massage…and then a nice nap once I get home. Thanks for being so generous with your supplies. Retired or not, they will soon become someone’s great prize!

  365. My favorite way to feel pampered is to get my nails done followed by a fresh hair cut and then followed by a fantastic massage and a dinner out with husband or friends. This has never happened to me all in one day or even all in one year but it would be nice!!

  366. I’m not one for massages, so I’d have to say dinner at my favorite restaurant with my husband. Delicious food, great conversation and a couple if frou-frou tropical drinks and I’m in heaven. Thanks for being so generous with the blog candy, Mary, and have fun at Founders Circle.

  367. Mani and Pedi for sure! Then a nice rest of the day with my BFF window shopping and finding lots of bargains.
    Enjoy your trip, Mary, you certainly have earned it. 🙂

  368. I love the idea of stamping without laundry to do. A little pampering sounds so good. Have fun Mary.

  369. With so many things to do and so many people needing my time, “pampering” is just having a day to do what I want to do without interruption and without the need to feel like I’m doing something from my “to do” list!

  370. I love spending an evening outside of the house with my family where I don’t have to cook. Then having time to papercraft when I get home. Ahhhhhh, pampering.

  371. My idea of pampering would be having the house and day to myself to craft away!! Other side, I enjoy my family so much and being able to spend the day with them ANYWHERE would be a great day as well! Thanks for taking care of us Mary, enjoy your time away!

  372. Once a year I go to a stamp retreat! No interruptions, phone doesn’t even work, and dinners are cooked and served!!! Love it! Have a great trip and thanks for the WOW videos!

  373. Pampering for me means someone else cooking the meal and curling up with a good book.

  374. Coming home to a sparkling clean house complete with fresh bed linens, fresh flowers in every room, taken out for a beautiful dinner and given airline tickets to a beach or cruise!

  375. Hi Mary,
    Oh my gosh! Great for you and the others who are retreating to Pamperville! I work full time for the county, do my own lawn work and even clean my gutters and all the while I am thinking of the variety of cards that I will be making once I retreat to my Pamper-Craft Room proudly called my Stampin Up haven. My haven brings me lots of stress relief, a sense of peace, and creativity.

    Have a very much deserve grand time.

  376. Have a wonderful trip to St. George! My idea of being pampered is having my husband take care of dinner. That usually means pizza delivery, but it gets me out of the kitchen once in a while!

  377. My thoughts of pampering is to receive my fun stamps I ordered in the mail and be able to actually go straight into the house and sit down and be able to use them to create something fun!

  378. One of my favorite ways to be pampered is when my husband cooks breakfast. I then get an earlier chance to go in my stamping room and create. Thanks for all your inspiration and have a great trip!

  379. Having my husband sit next to me and rub my tired feet…while we both listen to jazz and have a little wine and cheese….now that’s pampering…..

  380. Ahh late at night everyone in the house is asleep and I have the TV + remote to myself there I sit watching something I like and having Milano cookies and some milk –

  381. My favorite is cuddling up with my husband and having him rub my back…a pedicure is also very nice!

  382. pampering is a day with no phone calls, no errands, no cooking, no cleaning and laying on the couch watching a good movie. I rarely have alone time so this comes far and few between but is enjoyed when it happens. I do have to say my stamping time is pretty relaxing too!

  383. Fabulous giveaway – thanks for the chance at those retired goodies. My pampering highlight is a pedicure with the extras (hot wax dip, sugar scrub, custom ‘paint’ job). Enjoy your time as one of the best of the best!

  384. Funny thing, I just returned from having my nails done – to me that’s being pampered! Love it!

  385. Hi Mary! My perfect pampering day would be a pedicure, shopping and lunch, and coming home to a clean house! (and maybe some stamping if I had time!) Enjoy your time in Utah and thanks for all the great ideas!

  386. I love to get a pedicure & I love to spend the day in my studio. I just love making cards/crafts…so if I were to get a pedicure then come home and craft away, I would really be pampered.
    Have fun in St. George, can’t wait to see pictures.
    TeriS in SoCA

  387. A quiet day, doing my thing… Pedi with my daughters , a good movie and a nap!

  388. Enjoy your papering time!! I’m jealous LOL! Pampering for me is getting a facial and a massage, but the budget doesn’t allow for that so I feel pampered when I can have uninterrupted stamping time (a nice block of it) or a nice block of time to read.

  389. I’m the head cook and bottle washer in my house. So I feel pampered when the cooking and kitchen duties are tended to (without my asking) by my hubby. He has been battling Leukemia for a year, so it doesn’t happen often but it’s pretty special when he feels well enough to say “sit down I’ve got it”.

  390. Just having a few uninterrupted hours to craft, whether it be stamping, beading, sewing, etc… I love it all.

  391. Pampering, hmmm! A manicure/pedicure feels so luxurious; I ‘ve never had a massage, I think that would be wonderful and lunch with my daughter!

  392. My favorite thing to do for pampering myself is a one hour foot and leg massage. My local Spa offers this and it’s amazing! The place is dimly lit, smells of relaxing lavendar and by the time they recline the cushy oversized chair….I’m usually half asleep already 😉 I always come away from my one hour escape completely rejuvenated and calm.

  393. For me it is all about SOMEONE ELSE making my food, serving it and cleaning it up! Have a blast in Utah!

  394. My idea of pampering is going and getting a pedicure. Although, to enjoy some time to myself lately, it’s been just going and creating some cards so my stampin’ room has become a place of luxury and pampering.

  395. Pampering? You hit the nail on the head with foot massage…along with a soothing facial. Enjoy Founders!

  396. Pampering for this gal is having uninterrupted Stampin time, no husband, no adult son and the cat not wanting in/out/something when I am on a roll…but have to add Stampin days with my friends and a pedicure….not to forget about a few pieces of really good chocolate…lol! Know you will get lots of pampering the next few days…and thank you for the blog candy chance.

  397. I feel pampered when I have a day to myself. After everyone leaves in the morning on my day off I can relax and have a cup of coffee, read my email, then get ready for the day. A day filled with paper crafting!!!

  398. Pampering for me is getting to sleep in & not having to cook Dinner & change diapers! Oh the busy life of a stay at home mom of 2 young kids.

  399. I pamper myself each and every morning!! I pour myself a great cup of coffee and head to Mary’s Stampin’ Pretty and then it’s off to Stamp with Brian! 🙂 Then I check out my other favorite sites that have posted new great ideas dealing with Stampin’ Up! products!

    Have a great time in St. George Mary! Enjoy some stamping and pampering!

  400. My idea of pampering is a cup of coffee made by my sweet husband and watching Stampin’ Up! tutorials. I LOVE it!!!!

  401. I feel pampered when I visit your blog daily! You pamper, energize and fill my brain with excitement to be creative. I can visit daily and you always have something new for me to think about. Thank you!

  402. Now that my kids are grown, I find I don’t need as much pampering! But I love it when “someone else” makes the salad…

  403. Going out for a special dinner. Thanks for the the opportunity to be pampered with
    more stamping supplies

  404. Pampering is every Thursday when two other ladies and I meet for breakfast and then come back to my house for some Stampin’ Up. So much fun being together and sharing ideas.

  405. HI Mary! My ideal wish for a pampering day would be….
    pedicure with a friend (or my late sister) and a massage….home for a a cocktail or two;) then stamp some cards for next furry fundraiser….while enjoying each others company wouldn’t that be awesome! Maybe watching a Richard Gere movie, hubba, hubba!
    I will be daydreaming about this, thanks for the wonderful thoughts Mary. And thank you for all your creative sharing!

  406. For me all it takes is a new book by Nora Roberts and an empty house, So I can read in peace and quiet !!

  407. It’s always relaxing playing with stamps and punches, designing cards for no particular reason or occasion, just to be a little creative and avoid cleaning or another task I probably should be doing :-).

  408. My girls to cook Sunday night family dinner including clean up after so I can watch football.

  409. A wonderful deep tissue massage followed by a big glass of red wine! Tomorrow, I’ll be ready to stamp.

  410. Number one way to wind down and feel pampered? A spa pedicure! I would go everyday ifmI could afford it. Thanks for yiur generousity and for sharing your talents with all of us. Blessings, Diane

  411. My favorite pampering is when my husband meets me at the back door (he gets home before I do) with a glass of wine. We then sit and talk about our day while sharing the wine. I feel so close and connected to him. What better way to keep our marriage strong!

    Thanks for your inspiration in card making. I love your daily posts!!

  412. Pampering for me is relaxing in the den with a glass of wine, stamping or knitting, while hubby fixes dinner AND cleans up the kitchen. Lucky ME!
    Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your 5 days, Mary. Looking forward to your ‘show and tell!’

  413. Pampered to me means doing what ever I want to do….or not without any interruptions at home to relax without the worry that I need to be here or I need to be there by a certain schedule. Then I would able to ENJOY spending time to CREATE instead of being in front of a computer all the time.

  414. Ahhh pampering – a quiet house, and cup of tea, a favorite candle burning and some quality time to be able to do some crafting. Making cards or scrapbooking are very relaxing and enjoyable!

  415. Pampering to me means a nice massage, nails done pedicure and someone else cooks me dinner 🙂

  416. Pampering to me means a nice massage, nails done pedicure and someone else cooks me dinner 🙂

  417. Pampering? I’m not sure that’s part of my life 🙂 but I do like massages (haven’t had one for 2 years) and Stampin Up crafting. Card making soothes me.

  418. Pampering to me means a nice massage, nails done pedicure and someone else cooks me dinner 🙂

  419. Pampering to me is sitting in the den with a glass of wine, stamping or knitting, while hubby fixes dinner AND cleans up the kitchen. Lucky me!
    Enjoy your 5 days, Mary. I’m sure you’ll have wonderful show and tell for us soon!

  420. Awww, pampering is an hour massage, and then home to a good book and a cup of hot tea.

  421. my favorite way to pamper myself is a hot bath. a little lavender and some epsom salts. or i go downstairs and make a card.

  422. Hi Mary! Enjoy your trip, you earned it and deserve it! Hmm…. My favorite way to pamper myself… When I place a large order of SU products, especially new products, and then when they come it’s like Christmas! Then playing with all my new toys & tools always relaxed me. I love a good massage or facial or mani pedi too. But I just love being a demonstrator and ordering stuff that isn’t specifically for a class or camp is so much fun and always feels like I am pampering myself!

  423. What a good question. It has been so long since I thought about that, probably being pampered would consist of a soothing foot massage and pedicure would be especially nice while planning my next card project.

  424. I love your blog. My idea of pampering would be a full day to play in my craft room without interruption

  425. I love a pedicure, unlimited time in my craft room, and my husband making me dinner AND doing the dishes!! Thanks for all the GREAT ideas – I love your blog!

  426. Pampering for me is to have breakfast made by my hubby on the weekend. He does it every weekend! Gives me a chance to look at my SU catalog or plan my next card project!! What a guy!

  427. Pampering for me is having time for hobbies: stamping, papercrafting, boating, four-wheeling, relaxing family time, a good movie…..

  428. What a wonderful chance to win some awesome blog candy!

    Pampering for me is when an SU! order comes in…usually once every 3 months! 😉

    Valerie

  429. My pampered time is when I am down in my crafting room working on cards to send to people to help brighten their day. In return they usually let me know how much they enjoy receiving the cards so that brightens my day.

  430. My favorite way to be pampered is to be given a gift certificate to pick out stamping supplies.

  431. I love your blog. My idea of pampering would be a full day of playing in my craftroom without interruption.

  432. I pamper myself with a day off to do nothing but what I want to do, read, knit or stamp. Of course I sleep in and eat lunch and dinner out too. Sometimes I invite friends, and sometimes just by myself. Thanks for the generous give away.

  433. I’m low maintenance and don’t think about pampering all that much…but does a good bowl of homemade soup count?

  434. My idea of being pampered is a full day in the craft room…stamping without interruption!

  435. My usual pampering consists of a manicure and pedicure, but for a extra special pampering…definitely a full body massage. Enjoy your time in Utah.

  436. Pampering is such a fantastic word. It has so many meanings and feelings associated with it. But yet it invokes a different emotion in all of us. I love anything from massages, pedicures, or going to the movie theatre with a big bowl of popcorn, or cuddling with one of my kids. These are some of my favorite pampering activities.

  437. Right now pampering would be for someone else to come in and pack up the rest of my house so I don’t have to. Our move is coming soon! I’d rather be stamping!

  438. Pampering…hmm…getting my hair done and having the day to myself to do what I enjoy including making cards, shopping or reading a book. Have a great time on your trip and I’ll look forward to seeing pictures.

  439. Time of my own is what I most treasure; that in itself is pampering to me. Knowing that I may choose what to do for myself is a little present. The ultimate pamper for me is a day that is all about me. I feel selfish just saying it! Lol!

  440. I feel pampered when I can have a day JUST for genealogy or making cards. The only sound I hear is from relaxing music. No TV, making meals, or housework.
    Wishing you a relaxing day.
    Andrea Storm

  441. I love to have a facial and a pedicure followed by a massage. So relaxing and I feel pretty afterwards.

  442. Pampering would be being creative without any interruption to scrapbook or make a card for no particular reason.

  443. Any time for just me is a treat. A massage is an added bonus. As a single mom of two kids and being a nurse. … Spend plenty if time taking care if others. Not that I mind! But. Need to remember me too. Thx for the chance to win

  444. A pressure point massage, my couch, a bag of Doritos and General Hospital.. AHH! Sounds good. thanks for this contest!

  445. I would lock myself away in my craft room and get lost in my creations, calgon take me away. thank you for a chance for some really neat products.

  446. I love to feel pampered with good music and uninterrupted time making cards that I know will bless someone!

  447. I love the days I’m able to have both a massage and a mani/pedi. That’s my “lap of luxury”.

  448. Pampering to me is a soothing foot massage from my husband. He is the best. He pampers me daily by noticing what needs to be done and taking care of it! Although I do love having a mani and pedi!

  449. My favorite way to be pampered is my husband taking our early rising baby in the morning to give me a few more hours of sleep. Extra bonus if he does some dishes!

  450. A favorite way to feel pampered is to have someone else prepare, serve, and clean up dinner! In MY house! I would LOVE that. Meanwhile, while I dream, YOU have a great time in Utah and come back with loads of new ideas for us! And thanks for the chance to win some wonderful “stuff”!
    Barbara in SC

  451. Pampering for me means I get to stay in bed a little bit later, read the paper and drink my morning coffee!
    Oh, how nice….

  452. anytime my husband makes dinner…. no stress of figuring out what to cook! Enjoy your retreat Mary!

  453. Being retired means that my husband pampers me a lot, so my idea of pampering is to give HIM a day off! I love to do the things he regularly does: make breakfast, bring in the paper, make and return the phone calls, just cover the little details that usually fall to him. Doing something for him just makes my day!

  454. Pampering is taking my self shopping and a nice lunch at Panera Bread. Going to all of the craft stores and finding bargains.

  455. Pampering for me is taking a long bubble bath. Wow love the give a way. Have a wonder trip as you are being pampered………..

  456. I feel the best way to be pampered is to earn it! Whenever I go for a massage or pedicure, I make sure to hit the gym extra hard beforehand so I feel like I’ve deserved it!

  457. My favorite pampering method is to make a cup of tea and call a friend to catch up. I live pretty far from all my friends so keeping up with what is happening with their lives is very important to me. When I do this I feel as though I am back home and that is so very relaxing.

  458. A foot massage & pedi! They don’t happen very often w/ 3 sports kids & other activities our busy family has. Love me time!

  459. My way to get pampered is to go for a walk in the country side and listen to piano music on a cool crisp fall day and enjoy the smell of a fresh baked apple pie in the oven after the walk, fall is my favorite time of the year in Minnesota with the cool air and leaves changing colors – and then to just enjoy the day to myself and do whatever I want to do with nobody around!

  460. My idea of pampering is more time to share what I love with others. I know you will enjoy your trip. So deserving! Thank you for what you do and sharing what you love! Blog candy is only one way you do that! Bring back lots of inspiration with you. I am eager to be inspired!

  461. A pedi is a luxury to me! I’ve been going to the same lady for about 10 years, so she takes good care of me!!!!

  462. My favorite way to be pampered is my husband taking my early-rising baby in the mornings to let me sleep a few more hours. Extra bonus if he does some dishes!

  463. The most awesome way I would feel pampered: have someone come deep clean my house and then have my hubby take me out on an awesome dinner date. (I could even leave off the dinner – just having my house cleaned would be so special!)

  464. Pampering for me would start with a fantastic massage, followed by a great haircut, after which would come a mani/pedi – all ending with a romantic dinner with my hubby!!!

  465. My favorite way to be pampered is having my daughter invite us to her place for a wonderful meal, she a good cook!

  466. Pampering for me is…Coming home after a long day at work and finding supper on the table. Then a good book, a cup of tea and maybe some Hershey Kisses!

  467. Pampering is just some time to me…with friends and family usually, stamping, laughing and enjoying their company.

  468. I love a rainy morning with a cup of coffee, back in bed with a good book. Then a nap until lunchtime and an afternoon in my craft room! ;)))

  469. Pampering, to me, is an hour and a half facial performed by the one and only Barb Hackbarth!! She is AMAZING!! Now if only there was a way to sneak a glass of wine in there while I have this done! 😉

  470. Pampering for me is renting a hotel room with my best friend Karen, filling it with all our stamping and scrapping stuff, and working on that all weekend!

  471. Pampering? I not sure I have ever been pampered, no pedicures, or manicures have i ever had, no body massages either. But all of sounds like a great way to spend the day with no worries. Love your blog and always enjoy the chance to win blog candy.

  472. I like to feel pampered with a relaxing lunch out with friends, especially somewhere that has outdoor dining.

  473. it wouldn’t take much for this stay-at-home & homeschooling mom to feel pampered! I would love for someone to take on my normal responsibilities so that I can lock myself in my craft room for a day! aahhh that would be nice! 🙂

  474. Pampering for me is a good book or new Stampin’ Up catalog with my favorite beverage and time to indulge.

  475. A nice warm bath with candles all around. (And nobody knocking on the door asking me when I’ll be done) 🙂

  476. A glass of wine, sitting on the patio in warm sunshine, talking to my children on the phone. Pure bliss:-)

  477. A massage would be a wonderful way to feel pampered, but I would also love sleeping in while my husband attends to our wee one. Thanks for the chance to win!

  478. A massage followed by a pedicure is my favorite way of being pampered, but I also like the comment one person made where they can stay in their PJ’s all day and not have a care in the world. That sounds luxurious to me since I have four small kids I have to chase around, but I love it!

  479. Pampering myself would include getting a message, taking a warm bath then back into my pjs with a good book.. Ahhhh!

  480. I love getting my hair done or even having my daughter “play” with my hair. It’s so relaxing!

  481. Pampering? Yes…I think a nice long massage would be the ticket. And then that Stampin’ Up order I put in would show up and I have the whole weekend to myself to play!

  482. Pampering … getting my hair & nails done “just because”! Everyday should be a Special Occassion!!! ?

  483. Wow, what a great giveaway! I’m not a high maintenance girl. The ultimate pampering would be a manicure & pedicure. That is usually my Mother’s Day gift. My favorite way of pampering myself is with new stamping products!

  484. Thanks for the chance at blog candy Mary. I love a nice hot bath, a good book and a great cup of coffee. Enjoy your stamping and pampering and send us great pictures! I was at convention this year and know that you so deserve this pampering! Hugs.

  485. Mary… a day of pampering for me is to have a full day in my craft room making all kinds of beautiful cards and projects without anyone bothering me for anything. Nothing but my creative ideas flowing with a cup of iced coffee and all my Stampin’ Up goodies!!! I hope I have a day of pampering soon!!!

  486. My very favorite way to pamper myself is to pop a big bowl of popcorn (buttered of course) and stick a good movie in the DVD player and sit back and enjoy! Doesn’t even cost much! Love your blog, Mary! I get some great card ideas from you!

  487. Pampering is something I like to do for others….so, a day spent with my husband and two grown children is a special treat for me. I also like to spend time paper crafting for them…these things are my favorite “pampering” moments for sure!

  488. Time uninterrupted at my stamping/scrapping table and my comfy slippers. CHocolate of course is a must!!! Thanks Mary!!

  489. Pampering to me is getting to stamp all afternoon and that happens a lot less than I wish! Once a year I will treat myself to a pedicure to get the gunk off my feet but true pampering is my stamping because that is what I love. Wishing you a truly fun time in Utah!

  490. I think my favorite pampering has to be a spa day. Years ago when my mom had cancer, my four sisters & I took her for a day spa. It was the most pampering I had ever had and it was wonderful. More so it was wonderful for me knowing that she felt wonderful. Then we took her to Greek town where she got some oh her most favorite ~ Baklava. I think it is kinda pampering to pamper somebody else… Thanks for the invite to win…

  491. You are so generous! My most favorite pampering is when my husband brushes my hair and massages my shoulders after a long day at work. He is precious in that way.

  492. My idea of being pampered includes a long bath, then curl up with a good book, then enjoy a wonderful meal that’s cooked by someone else!

  493. My husband taking the kids for the day and spending it all day in my craft room with “chick-flicks” on the the TV! aaahhhh – I’m due for one of those days….

  494. Also forget add this message.. Mary Thank for nice Give Away Gifts…. Whoever win the Gifts.. Congrats and Enjoy it Smile…..

  495. I am off on Fridays and one Friday a month I spend the day on me. I start with a 90 minute massage at Massage Envy and then on to my favorite salon for a facial, haircut and a pedicure. I feel pampered and beautified. I love it and I love your blog. Thank you for all the wonderful card ideas.

  496. My favorite way to get pampered is when my husband completely takes over dinner, from deciding what we are having and doing the shopping to cooking the meal and cleaning up after. It doesn’t happen very often.
    I hope you have a wonderful trip.

  497. I love a nice long massage, its sure to relax me! Thanks for the chance to win some awesome “Candy”.

  500. WOWZERS !!! I love your give-a-way today. I always do …*smile* THANKS MARY !!!

    My favorite way to pamper myself is by staying in my jammies all day, and having hubby cater to me. Life would be good !!! (sometimes he has)

  501. My pampering consists of relaxing in my recliner and of course looking over Stampin up catalogs for inspiration!

  502. WOWZERS !!! I love your give-a-way today. I always do …*smile* THANKS MARY !!!

    My favorite way to pamper myself is by staying in my jammies all day, and having hubby cater to me. Life would be good !!! (sometimes he has)

  503. I love to have a pajama day. Pampering includes whatever feels nice at the time. Usually unplanned, very relaxed and a fun filled day.

  504. What a great collection giveaway!! Pampering for me would be a quiet house and a good book! Candles lit and a warm afghan- ummmmm,

  505. My papmering moment is going to a luxury hotel in our downtown area and being waited on. No beds to make, no meals to cook, and doing whatever I want.

  506. My idea of pampering is enjoying the sun on my face, my toes in the sand, and the breeze of ocean air while at the beach.

  507. A bubble bath with a glass of wine and a good book! That’s how I pamper myself.

  508. A few hours in the Urban Sweat Saunas followed by an hour long massage. All the while hydrating with cucumber water!

  509. To me, the best pampering is getting a facial at the spa. But sometimes I am so relaxed that I fall asleep and then I am kind of upset because I feel like I missed some of the pampering! Have fun on your trip Mary, I hope you feel “pampered” while there!

  510. Thanks for this fun contest Mary. My idea of pampering is a massage in a relaxing spa.

  511. What a wonderful way to pamper someone!! I’m anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving Break from school so that I can sit down, drag out my Stampin’ Up things and make some cards!! Counting the days, and this package would be so very helpful. 🙂

  512. For me, it’s spending time with my “gal pals” eating at our favorite restaurant at Brookwood Community, then shopping in the gift shop and finally spending the afternoon catching up with each other. Nothing better!

  513. Pampering would include a nice bubble bath, candles, soft music and a great book to read! Enjoy your trip and keep up the great job of inspiring us every day.

  514. My Idea of papmpering is a good glass of wine, a great book, a comfy spot and quietness. I am a busy mom of 3 boys, and I work in a daycare. Quietness is a rare comodity for me so when I have it I treasure it.
    Debbie

  515. Ahh…getting to visit my grandchildren and their parents is a perfect pampering for me. The 4-year old are mini Stampers already.

  516. I feel pampered everyday I wake up to my wonderful Husband! But no girl cam turn down a spa day!!!

  517. Hope you have a fabulous time being pampered by StampinUp. My favorite pampering is to get a massage and facial on the same day, which has only happened twice, as a gift. Should do it more often. Thanks for sharing blog candy, it looks mighty tasty!

  518. Pampered. Life is so wonderfully full of kids, school, home, and everything else that pampering sadly is not in the vocabulary. Right now I’d love to sit listening to music and watching the rain. I do find a few moments every now and then to pull out some stamps and create. It’s very soothing to the soul.

  519. My favorite pampering for me is a day to spend making cards, catching up on the shows on my DVR and eating junk. That is the BEST therapy ever…. Thanks for the chance.

  520. : ) Along with so many others, I don’t really know what pampering would be like. I’ve never had a professional massage or had my nails done BUT I do enjoy just sitting down in the evening and playing Scrabble on my Kindle : ))
    My husband doesn’t enjoy games and the kids live too far away. My Mother and I used to play every time I went to visit her (about 7 states away : ). She is now with the Lord but I’m sure she would be smiling at me as I play on the Kindle.
    Thank you for putting so much helpful information out there for all of us.

  521. To come home to find hubby has cooked supper and theres a cold glass of white waiting with the bath run…..don’t mind filling the dishwasher! I would gladly pay the pandp for you. lol. Lovely website.

  522. Oh my…pampering for me is getting away to spend time with my grandchildren and their lovely parents.

  523. Pampering for me is a HOT bath with candles burning and music playing! I wish I had a jacuzzi tub!

  524. Yesterday was my birthday, so pampering I got!! Daughter took me out for lunch to my fave restaurant and then to a cupcake bakery to pick my choice. Out for supper with friends and hubby surprised me with a dozen white roses…..great day of pampering for me!

  525. Having the house to myself! Doesn’t matter what I do, whether it’s stamping or cleaning…….it’s so much nicer with peace and quiet!

  526. Well, aren’t you nice–such a cool assortment of goodies! Pampering, for me, is either time to “play in the dirt” in my garden or time to “play in the ink” with my SU goodies!

  527. Seriously, eating — savoring — meatloaf and mashed potatoes once in awhile feels like pampering to me! Have fun stamping and pampering!

  528. My pampering is being able to stay on bed while my husband watches the kids 🙂

  529. A day of pampering can be many things for me-being at home barbecuing with me son, working in my daughters garden, painting a room in the house or stamping in my studio. It’s doing something I enjoy with people I love. <3

  530. Pampering for me is a pedicure! Thank you for the opportunity to win this give away!!

  531. Pampering is spending the entire day at the ocean with friends and family. Have a wonderful trip and enjoy the pampering Mary……well deserved!!

  532. I would feel pampered if I had someone to clean my house from top to bottom – do all the dusting I despise. If I was lucky enough to be getting a pedicure while the person was cleaning that would be even beter. 🙂

  533. My favorite way to feel pampered is with a good cup of coffee, a good book, and my cat, purring, on my lap…..The “icing on the cake” would be something on the stove that smells wonderful and a gentle snowfall outside (I’m one of those strange people that loves fall and winter the best)

  534. Pampering for me is a bubble bath, pajamas, and a good book or movie. Have a great time, Mary!!!

  535. The perfect pampering for me would be a relaxing deluxe pedicure and manicure.

  536. When I’m on vacation I love, love, love going to the spa a day and getting a massage, pedicure, facial…just make a day out of it.

  537. My favorite way to be pampered is for my husband and boys to go out to the movies so that I have a few hours alone to stamp – no interruptions.
    Francie

  538. Mary you sure know how to treat a gal. My pampering is a night out for supper. As we are both retired and it is just the two of us at home now it’s hard to cook for two. Hope you enjoy yourself.

  539. Pampering to me means getting some time alone with my hubby. We have 3 little ones that make it difficult to enjoy quiet conversation! I know that someday I will miss it, but somedays I dream of a quiet house! LOL!!

  540. A day of pampering for me is having a day off work, hanging out in my pajamas, reading a book and of course doing some stamping.

  541. Pampering for me would be a day to read a really good book and not have to feel guilty about it.

  542. Pampering for me is just making projects with My Stampin’Up. I like to set at my dining table and just “shut everything else out and just relax making cards”

  543. A nice massage would be wonderful! But just taking time to stamp & not worry about cooking or cleaning (at the time! LOL) is probably typical. Enjoy Founders Circle & thank you for sharing your talent with us!

  544. I’m usually the pamperer, not the pamperee. I really enjoy taking care of people. As for feeling pampered, I guess getting my fingernails and toenails shaped and painted is my idea of pampering. Or maybe a really long hot shower using one of my favorite handmade soaps.

  545. My favorite kind of pampering is a beach getaway with palm trees and people walking up and down the beach offering manicures, massages, and fresh coconut juice. Aaahhhh….

  546. I feel pampered when I can spend a full day in my craft room, with some Christian radio playing, a few good chocolate candies to nibble on and a diet coke! Now that’s living!!!

  547. Nothing is more satisfying than spending time in my card castle. I am totally pampered there for I am the Queen.

  548. When I am able to get new products from SU and get the time to create with them; I feel so unstressed. That’s as close to pampering as I can get. Have a fun and safe trip! I can’t wait to see your pic’s. Thank you so much for sharing!

  549. I love to indulge in a chocolate croissant or brioche from a local french bakery with my daughter, it’s so much more fun to share the pampering! Mary have a fabulous time!

  550. Now this may sound silly to some, but to a mom of small children, it’s DEFINITELY pampering…I like to add some DoTerra Citrus Bliss essential oil to my lotion and put it on my body after showering!! I feel SO refreshed, energized, and ready to start my day! I don’t even remember what a full body massage feels like anymore, but I’m SURE that will be at the top of my list again some day. LOL!

  551. At this point in my life, sometimes the best pampering I do for myself is to go out for a run. Having 30-45 minutes of truly uninterrupted time alone to refresh my mind, body, and sole.

  552. I like poking around in quirky gift shops and antique stores for an entire afternoon – usually I don’t buy much, but the process is so relaxing! Have a GREAT time Mary – you deserve it! Thank you for all you do!

  553. I love getting a pedicure! It is so relaxing and offers giggles because I am a bit ticklish ?
    I love your blog and ideas!!! Lots of fun!!

  554. Pampered often by dear husband…starts out with a bouquet of roses and a nice meal, a long quiet drive in the country and visit to a botanical garden (lots of color combinations and ideas) and then home to my cardmaking undisturbed. Ah, one can dream!!! let it be so!!!

  555. For me…time alone to choose whatever I please is the best way to pamper me. Stamping is my typical choice to fill my time. Thanks for the chance to win some awesome blog candy! Enjoy Founder’s Circle!

  556. Just being able to be alone with a good book or to watch a movie. Enjoying the quiet.

  557. My way of pampering my self is to stamp! I start by choosing some paper and stamp pads, then the stamps! The creative juices start to flow!

  558. Lunch with a dear girlfriend always makes me feel special and grateful.
    THanks for this generous opportunity!

  559. A perfect day of pampering for me is a day at the spa. It is such a relaxing atmosphere. My treatments would be a hot stone massage, facial and maybe even a pedicure.

  560. My favorite pampering is to either have someone do the housework for the day so I can stay sleep in or work on a project.

  561. Pampering for me is just to have “me” time to do whatever I feel like doing! I do enjoy making cards and actually, crafting of any sort, but that’s very rare to have time for that. I don’t have space, so it’s hard to get those things done. Thanks for the chance to win all that great stuff, even if it is retired, it’s all good! I love your creativity and so enjoy reading your blog every day.

  562. Pampering for me is getting a massage or going to get a soa pedicure & manicure.

  563. We recently renovated a house. My husband designed a fabulous studio for me to do my papercrafting and machine embroidery. Every time I go into my studio I feel pampered and blessed. Mary, thanks for all of your great inspirations!

  564. Hmmm, a full body massage is my idea of heaven. But I recently had a wonderful pedicure and having pretty toes to enjoy everyday is wonderful! Thanks for sharing stamping ideas with me, Mary!

  565. Getting my hair done…..without kids! Cut, highlight whatever but just a little me time.

  566. Pampering is not having an agenda and doing what I feel like in the moment. Freedom is a special thing. It often leads to creativity and stamping or searching out new ideas or calling a friend. Time is a precious gift.

  567. Pampering to me is when my husband is making dinner and I am tucked away in my craft room playing with my Stampin’Up! goodies.

  568. I have never had much time to be pampered or to pamper myself, I am a Grandma and enjoy pampering my Grandsons who love to see the cards I make and sometimes they make cards to. My favorite are the cards they make for me.

  569. I would love to be pampered. I’m a dog breeder and board other people’s dogs so I stay pretty busy. Pampered to me is being able to sleep in. . . which doesn’t even happen when I get away. So I do turn to stamping as a get away. Dogs on the couch and scrap paper all over the tables. This is my stress relief! Thanks for the opportunity to WIN!

  570. Hi Mary, I just love to be in my craft room and be
    able to do lots of stamping! Thanks for a chance
    to win. Would love all of thes goodies! Love your
    videos and love your studio! [email protected].

  571. There a zillion ways to pamper myself but my favorite lately is to have a spa manicure/pedicure and facial combo.

  572. I would love to go back to Maui and snorkel right off the beach all day … that was the most relaxing trip that made me feel very pampered!

    I hope you have a wonderful trip and I’m looking forward to checking out your updates on Facebook. Thanks for this opportunity to win some great swag!

  573. My idea of pampering is to sneak away to my craft area or visit a papercrafting store with a friend. Enjoy your days of fun and pampering!

  574. What a great collection giveaway!! Pampering for me is a quiet house with a good book. Candles lit and a warm afghan just add to the mix.

  575. My idea of being pampered is to sit by the pool or on the beach with a good book with no thoughts of laundry, housecleaning or cooking. Just “Me Time”.
    Have a great time being pampered!

  576. Pampering? What’s that? It’s been so long since I’ve been pampered. I think I agree with many of the other comments, that spending a nice long day at the spa would be fantastic. I have never had that opportunity before, but sounds relaxing. Even a nice long bubble bath at home would be wonderful, lol

  577. I love to be pampered! Like many have said, a full body massage is the best! Just relax and forget about everything else! Next best thing is a pedicure. Enjoy your trip to St. George, lucky gal! And thanks for a chance to win awesome blog candy.

  578. My favorite pampering would be a pedicure while reading a good mystery with Elvis or the Beach Boys music playing!

  579. In my world, an uninterrupted block of time longer than 30 minutes,for paper crafts would be the ultimate pamper for me. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration you provide!

  580. My fave is just being able to spend the day doing what I want, like maybe stamping? Have a great time at Founders!

  581. It?s amazing what a difference a year makes. Last year my husband of 5 years had an unexpected major medical issue which was touch and go for a few days and is still healing but doing so much better. Pampering to me now is sitting in my living room, whether getting creative or watching TV and hearing in the background my husband singing his music ? I never realized how beautiful it was until I didn’t hear for months and am very lucky to hear it again.

  582. Pampering to me is a day with my stamping friends making new things with all the new Stampin Up products! I come home all relaxed, energized and ready to use my new stamps and products.

  583. Pampering for me is not having to cook all day – just going out to breakfast, lunch and dinner with my hubby, the man of my dreams! 😉

  584. Pampering for me is having my hair done at the salon; I just love having someone else shampoo my hair! Add in a Starbucks latte and I’m all set!!

  585. I’d have to say my husband cooking dinner while I continue stamping. And the bonus…he cleans up.

  586. I know a bunch of people will say facial, massage, foot massage…fortunately, I am married to a massage therapist PLUS he just graduated with his esthetic’s license so he can do all the fun facial and herbology stuff…My idea of being pampered is a quiet place to stamp, read, or work on my Bible study!

  587. I feel pampered when I get a spa pedicure with a leg/foot massage…amazing!!! I also feel pampered when I have a whole day to spend in my craft room with no interruptions. Thanks for the chance to win such awesome blog candy Mary!!! Enjoy your pampering in Utah ?

  588. Nothing beats a good massage for a great pampering experience! I hope you have a glorious rejuvenating time in St, George! Thanks for sharing wonderful inspiration here on your blog!

  589. My idea of a good pampering is a couple hours of quiet to read through all my favorite Stampin Up blogs with a good cup of coffee!!

  590. Believe it or not, my favorite pampering is to be able to stay in my PJ’s and create in my craft room all day, listening to my music on my iPod. And if I had my own waiter that day, to make dinner and serve my beverages, that would be wonderful !

  591. Getting a pedicure where they have those massage chairs that you can control and a good cup of coffee! Heavenly!!

  592. I can’t wait to see what all you get to do while at Founder’s Circle!
    My idea of being pampered is having a French pedicure.

  593. A pampered day for me is being with and playing with my family – out to lunch, bowling, playing volleyball, to a movie, out to dinner, playing tennis, and finishing off with a tall beverage of our choice!!! Whatta day that would be!!

  594. Pampering for me is when hubby says “go spend the day in your stamp room.” Ahhhhh, pure bliss!

  595. My favorite way to be pampered is by staying in my PJ’s and spending all day in my stamp room with my husband bringing me lunch so I don’t have to leave.

  596. Thanks for fun give away, have a great trip, can’t wait to see the pictures. My idea of pampering is a pedicure. It feels so good, and love how pretty my toenails look when done!

  597. I’m with Lynn C. Full body massage which I’ve had only once….ahhhh. The book is essential preferably a mysyery.
    Have fun!!!!

  598. Pampering for me is when hubby says “go spend the day in your stamp room.” Ahhhh, bliss!

  599. My favorite pampering is a girls day, which includes a pedicure, lunch with my girls(aka Daughters and Granddaughters), and then some stampin and craftin.

  600. Just being able to sit down for a couple of hours and catch up with all of the stamping blogs I visit without having to get my sons to all of the sporting events is my way of relaxing.

  601. Pedicures are my standard pampering event. If I want to really treat myself, I get a full body massage!

  602. Pampering to me is very different than the others, it is sitting back and enjoying the way a room looks after I totally redecorate it. Or when I make a new crayon wreath, or a new design of a diaper cake, or painting a project for the grandkids that my husband made. I amaze myself sometimes. I enjoy decorating and crafting so much. My pampering is mental, not physical. Love your creativity Mary.

  603. Pampering for me would be to sit down with a cup of coffee and read a good book – after I’ve checked out your site with your new ideas.

  604. My favorite way to feel pampered would have to be to sit and read a book for hours and hours…no interruptions!!! Wow what a treat that would be.

  605. I would pack a two day picnic with all our favorite foods , curl up by a nice fire, and reminisce with my hubby, all the memories we’ve shared over our 44 years together…..on a bear skin rug of course….out in the wilderness, with NO PHONE, JUST US…..Now, that is PAMPERING to me…thanks Mary for letting me have this moment of ” what if “….it felt GREAT!….smiles
    Enjoy your pampered time away, and thanks for your generosity !

  606. A fun relaxing day of pampering to me would be stamping with a friend for the day. THat’s when the creative juices can flow & cards can be made. We get stuff spread out all over the table & stamp, color, glue & assemble to our heart’s delight..Mix in some laughter, lunch & a wee bit of chocolate. There’s the recipe for a great day. Thanks for sharing your One minute to WOW videos- they are inspiring!

  607. Well, I’ve never had it, but a whole day to stamp with my friends, with meals delivered, would be awesome!

  608. A different kind of pampering — My bestest friend is coming from Ca for a 2 week visit ! And we are going to stamp and stamp and stamp some more ! With maybe a cocktail and some candles for inspiration in the evening !

  609. Pampering… An afternoon with a good book and no interruptions from husband, child, and telephone. LOVE that!!!! Have fun on your trip.

  610. The last time I did a big SU card day, I spent the better part of the day on my feet creating wonderful cards that just thrilled my spirit. A foot massage is a real treat! Of course the products are too! ?

  611. As a mom to 4 boys, I do not get a lot of pampering but if someone else does the cooking, that is wonderful.

  612. Oh, this is so rare…
    either a nice meal out with friends or to have my hair styled. It is hard to choose.

  613. I like to pamper myself at least once a year with a pedicure. Have my toes painted is relaxing. It is something I do for myself at the beginning of summer to get my feet ready to be seen.

  614. Pampering to me means a period of time for me to relax, no alarm set, no appointments, no interuptions…Quiet time to do what I want for a change and not having to tend to everyone elses needs! aaaahhhhhhh…Can you imagine?

  615. Pampering for me is sleeping in with my husband and then having him make pancakes and coffee for our breakfast.

  616. A special treat for me is selecting a new Trollbead for my most favorite piece of jewelry. My bracelet bead collection has grown over the years, but there always seems to be one I’m wishing for out there!
    Enjoy your pampering time, Mary. Fortunately for us, we’ll all benefit from the new tricks you learn, and projects you see/make! Your creativity is most inspiring 🙂

  617. A 4 day crop and foot reflexology is my favorite form of pampering! Thank you for pampering us Mary!

  618. Well Mary I really had to give this some thought. Pampering is not usually a word in my life, but I will try. 🙂 I absolutely love a day in the beauty salon. Having my hair washed, cut and styled is heaven, followed by a nice hand massage. But mostly, I love a day at the soccer field, football field or softball field watching my grandchildren play. Now thats Heaven as well! Have a wonderful time and thank you for being you.

  619. Time at my craft table during the day a nd then a camp fire and glass of wine with my family after dark. Maybe today?

  620. Pampering? What is that? I have never gotten a massage and have only had fewer than 10 pedicures! Only time I feel pampered is when my husband scratches my back. Anyway, would LOVE to tin.

  621. my pampering is getting to spend the whole day making cards with my best friend , fun stories and lots of laughs.

  622. A day of pampering to me is being able to spend the day reading a really good book and not having to feel guilty about it.

  623. I got into stamping after a good friend sent me a home made card during a very long illness. That card stayed by my side for literally months. Having someone actually sit down and create something special just for me when I needed it most is my idea of being pampered. Plus it lasts so much longer than a massage! You just don’t realize what it might mean to someone to know you created something just for them. What we do is the epitome of pampering.

  624. Nothing feels like being pampered compared to having a message or pedicure! They are special treats for me…as I really prefer spending my money on more SU products! Have a fun trip Mary!

  625. Pampering to me is sleeping in on Saturday morning until 8am. I usually have to get up at 5am for work. Those few extra hours are heavenly.

  626. My ideal pampering is our semi-annual scrap camp! We get to stay in cute cabins and have all of our delicious meals prepared for us while we stamp or scrapbook all weekend.

  627. Pampering for me is a long relaxing bubble bath! Thanks for all your inspiration and for a chance to win!!

  628. My ideal pampering day would be a day off work and just hanging out and doing crafts all day!! 🙂

  629. Pampering myself involves some stampin with no interruptions … Tall glass of tea and a clean workspace to start my projects ( there just something about everything being put away before you start again on a project).

  630. My day of pampering would be a long hot shower first thing, a light but yummy breakfast prepared for me, the whole day to create at my craft table with lunch prepared and served by anyone but me. What a day!!

  631. Nothing says pampering and relaxation than a few hours of scrappin’ and stampin’! Have a great day!

  632. Pampering for me is getting my nails done, fingers & toes!! I also love a good massage. Have fun on your trip!!

  633. Pampering– relaxing on a nice summer day on the deck, with a cold beverage in one hand and a good book in the other, and no one to interrupt. Smelling the sweet smell of the flowers blooming and listening to the rustle of the leaves in the trees from the slight breeze that is flowing thru the trees.

  634. Pamperin myself hmmm……. A nice massage with soft music in the background or a nice relaxing bath with a glass of wine at hand.

  635. Pampering for me is a getting a pedicure. A whole afternoon of crafting is also nice. Thanks for the chance to win.

  638. Hi Mary…..a heavenly way of being pampered is a spa massage or pedicure which includes a foot and leg massage. Either one is soooooo relaxing 🙂

  639. I feel pampered when the guys in my house do all the housework for the day. My husband and 2 sons have done this for me twice – even bathrooms!! They cook, they clean – it is just shear pleasure for me to have a break.

  640. One of my favorite ways to feel pampered is a day at the beach with my husband. Even though we live in a resort area and don’t always take the time to really enjoy it. So packing a lunch, putting on some good music and sitting back relaxing, talking and idling the day away is a real treat.

  641. I look forward to your daily post. When I wake up in the morning, I get my coffee, watch the news and open my computer to see you post. Thank you for your all the effort it takes to share every day.

  642. My idea of being pampered is having a cup of coffee, sitting quietly and doing something that doesn’t require working around the house.

    This is a very nice thing you are doing by offering this Blog Candy Give away.

  643. Pampering for me is just letting me go to my craft room in my pajamas and staying there all day. No dishes, cooking, cleaning or anything but making cards. Have fun on your getaway.

  644. Relaxing outside on a comfy bench, sun shining, blue skies and songs of birds on a wonderful fall day.

  645. The best pampering for me would be a weekend to my myself in my craft room. With daily life I only get a hour here and there.Thanks Mary!

  646. Having a surprise outing planned for me is the ultimate pampering, whether it’s appetizers after work with my husband, or a pedicure scheduled by my daughter. That’s just the best!

  647. My pampered pleasure is a foot soak and foot massage followed by a pedicure with a new pretty color painted on toe nails to brighten up my world.

  648. None of these suggested pampering s are as pleasing as uninterrupted time in my craft room. I would not refuse any of them though! 🙂

  649. I pamper myself by taking a nice warm bath, candles lit, while listening to music. I’d love a massage, those are wonderful, had a hot stone massage once before and it was heavenly. I’ll settle for a back rub from the hubby though 😉

  650. I am a homeschool mom of three. My weekdays are very hectic. I start school at 8 am and end around 3 so I can give each child their due teacher time with me.

    I also adore my baths at the end of our school days. Calgon take me away!

  651. My ideal pampering is to have a whole day of paper crafting without having to worrying about anything I may be neglecting, i.e., hubby fixes dinner, etc. Enjoy your time in St George.

  652. Since I am disabled and not able to get around much my day of pampering would be with all my children and my grandchildren. Having them pamper me with all their LOVE is the best I can ask for. They in turn inspire me to create. 🙂

  654. My thoughts of pampering is a quiet evening, a comfortable chair and watching a beautiful sunset.

  655. Pampering to me is when my husband goes out of town (for a short while) and my adult daughter stays with friends over the weekend. I can do what I want – stamp, read, Pinterest, definitely stay in PJ’s, no make up & no hair do. Very relaxing! Thanks for the chance to win!

  656. A day at the spa would be my best idea for pampering. Mani/pedi, massage, facile, hair and makeup. What a day.

  657. Pampering for me is getting a mani/pedi. It doesn’t happen that often so it’s always a treat when I can get them done!

    hugs and enjoy Mary

  660. My idea for pampering is sometime quit time for me. I have people in my ear all day long and I just want some piece and quit. Have fun on your trip and can’t wait to see what is new. Blessings

  661. A couples massage with my sweet husband is always a treat! I love the feeling of connection after our massage is done. Have a great time at Founder’s Circle.

  662. My idea of being pampered is to have a relaxing massage and mani-pedi, followed by the rest of the day to do whatever I like – which includes stamping – of course!

  663. I believe that a great pampering would be to have someone come in and clean the house and do the odds and ends so that I could have fun with my stamps with absolutely no guilt.

  664. Pampering, I love pedi’s, absolutely love, love, love them, I go every 3 to 4 mos. I’d go monthly if I could, lol.

  665. Just having time to do nothing but stampin’, especially when my stampin’ friends get together, is my idea of pampering. And, a pedicure ain’t too bad either! 🙂
    Have a great time, Mary! You deserve it!

  666. I feel pampered when DH waits on ME (instead of the normal other way around)!! LOL But after almost 34 years of marriage, I’d still marry him all over again!

  667. Pampering for me is to sit back in recliner and someone bring me a nice hot cup of coffee

  668. I feel pampered when my husband fixes me green tea after dinner and then does the dishes.

  669. Pampering to me is having the whole house to myself for an entire week-end. Then, I do what I want, when I want, and if I want!

  672. Pampering for me is when my grandchildren come to stamp with me while my adult children clean my house. It is heavenly.

He built me a beautiful craft room and I now have time to get the massage, mani/pedi that I want when I want them. My life is filled with love and pampering every day. I do still like a good cup of tea and a good book though when I need to take care of myself.

  674. My idea of pampering would be to spend a day away from all the regular routines of the day with my daughters. Maybe shopping, getting our nails done, or just sitting, talking, and enjoying our time together.

  675. Allowing myself an afternoon nap with the cats is my way of pampering myself. A weekend full of crafting is a close second!

  676. Getting together with my ‘stampin’ friends for an afternoon of creativity, some snacks and lots of laughs.

  677. If I could get in an hour or two, I would peruse the current catalogs page by page and take in each and every picture and word while relaxing in a hot bath 🙂

  678. A pedicure is my way of pampering and relaxing. Thanks for the blog candy. WOW is all I can say.

  682. I love going to the spa with friends. We sit in the same room, chatting and sipping wine while waiting for our turn to be massaged.

  683. Pampering to me is dinner out or a flower or two from my husband or one of my sons. Makes me smile!

  684. Pampering to me is dinner out or a flower or two from my husband or one of my sons. Makes me smile!

  685. Pampering is a day off in my craft room. Hubby gives me that once in a while. No kids, no grandkids and he brings me lunch and it’s so quiet!!! Love those days!

  686. My favorite way to feel pampered is to have a bubble bath in our large jetted bathtub. Hot water and bubbles are the way to go relax.

  687. I love soaking my feet in this “miracle mixture”…1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup brown Listerine, and 2 cups boiling water. It works like a charm…bubbles off all the dead skin and calluses. A little towel rub and coconut oil, and I’m feeling really pampered. Now, if I could just get my husband to prepare everything and handle the toweling and oiling, that would be kicking it up a notch! : )

  688. Mary, I hope you have a wonderful time being pampered in Utah. Thanks for the opportunity to win your fabulous prizes. I’m fortunate to be pampered every other week by having my nails done. My nail tech and I have become very good friends, and we each have a glass of wine while she does my nails. Then I order “to go” from a local restaurant. Wonderful!

  689. Oh definitely a day in my “spa” space (my craftroom) papercrafting ALL day with no “I’m hungry” interruptions!! Hope you have a WONDERFUL time, Mary!!

  690. My favorite way of pampering myself is playing with my grandchildren and basking in their laughter!!

  691. We own a 24/7 business so just to have an uninterrupted long nap would be heaven to me!! (and if someone was giving me a massage as I napped wouldn’t be bad either!!) LOL

  692. Have a wonderful time!! I’m sure you’ll be back to inspire us all and get our creative juices goin’! Pampering for me is a full body massage 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

  693. My idea of pampering would be a trip to the spa for a mani & pedi. Thanks for the chance to win. Enjoy your trip.

  694. Wow! What a prize!! My pampering wish would be a day of just what I want to do. It could be just a whole day up in my craft room with no worries of what to cook, what clothes need to be washed, what rooms need to be cleaned etc… that would be paradise!

  695. Pampering for me means a full body massage with some soothing music and candles burning.

  696. My pampering is going to the nail salon to get my nails and pedicure done. It always makes my day!

  697. I love going with my stamping gals to get pedicures! It is just more of a treat when we can all go together. Our stamping group has been together for almost 10 years!

  698. My favorite is a girls night out with Mani/Pedis, dinner & shopping… Oh yeah, & no babies!

  699. Oh, that second cup of coffee and a good book. I am pampered with a wonderful craft room and a supportive husband! Thanks for all your inspiration, Mary. Enjoy some stamping and pampering in St. George.

  700. A day of pampering for me would be a day at the spa, never been but I think it would be fantabulous!! Enjoy your stampin retreat!

  701. Ahhhhh…pampering. My favorite way to be pampered would be to have a full body, hour long massage. A close second would be curled up with a good book, particularly if there is a blizzard going on and I have no place I have to go. Thanks for a chance to win the Blog Candy.

  702. Shopping for a new Coach handbag hits the spot for me! No, wait – there are so many beautiful choices that it’s hard to decide! So maybe its not the traditional definition of “relaxing” but it sure is FUN! Thanks for the contest!

  703. My idea of a perfect pampering is heading to the
    Campgrounds with peace and quiet. Sweater on
    Nice campfire and my hubby. Perfect.

  704. To be honest, pampering for me is to be taken out to dinner. I don’t like to cook, and it is a chore to come up with something fairly healthy for my family (2 of us are diabetic), every night. If we go out I don’t have to be concerned about what we will eat and, even better, it give me a longer time to craft!

  705. Ahhhhh, a bubble bath by candle light, a glass of white on the side of the tub, a mask on my face and either some nice music or a good book on my iPad. That is my definition of pampering.

  706. I would have to say the most relaxing way for me to pamper myself is to get a massage and then relax in the sun after. It always seem that when I do get a massage (which isn’t often enough – maybe 1 every few yrs – YIKES I need to change that – not nearly frequent enough!!) It always seem that I have to run off to doing something else after a nice massage – So I would love to be able to extend the relaxation by then sitting out in the warm sun listening to some relaxing music also.

  707. I absolutely love to have a pedicure! I walk out of my nail salon with rested legs, softened feet and super cute toes. Having my legs rubbed down and massaged with hot stones feels amazing after a week of work which has me on my feet over 8 hours a day. I can’t wait til my next one. I wish I could have one every week!

  708. I like to pamper myself by going for a massage and while deeply relaxed thinking up new designs to create with my Stampin Up stamps and DSP.

  709. My favorite way to feel pampered is to get my hair cut and styled…just seat back and let my stylist do it all!

  710. Most definitely, my pampering is on a massage table! Just love that! A pedicure comes in a close second……. Thanks for the chance.

  711. My favorite form of pampering is going to my craft cave in the basement and have fun creating some fun and pretty cards to give away to family and friends! Enjoy your time in Utah. Here’s hoping I win the blog candy. Thank you Mary . . .

    Diane

  712. I feel pampered when my husband cooks (he is an amazing cook and puts lots of effort into the meal as an example – 12 hours to make a pasta sauce and it was yummy!!!) and cleans the house for me so that I can spend quality time with our children and maybe sneak in some papercrafting time.

  713. I feel pampered when my husband makes me dinner and serves it to me. It is like having a restaurant in my own home.

  714. Wow! That is amazing blog candy. My favorite way to be pampered is a good book or magazine with a cappuccino. Thank you for continuing to share of your time, talent and you!

  715. My fav way to feel pampered is a mani/pedi for sure and I am long overdue for a pedicure at least! Don’t you feel better when your feet have been ‘filed’ down and the polish looks fresh? I do! BUT I would feel ALOT better if I could win your blog candy; it’s heavenly and I don’t own any of it so it seems like it is meant for me; don’t you think so? Thanks for the chance to win it all!

  716. I like to sit down on my bed and make a bunch of cool crafts. i just think its so fun to make crafts, it keeps me in a relaxing mood.

  717. Laughing and stamping with friends is my perfect way to relax. Enjoy your time at Founder’s Circle! Your posts and blog candy are wonderful!

  718. My favorite way to feel pampered is to go out to dinner and then to come home to watch a good movie while cuddled up with the hubs, nice and warm (can you tell it is a chilly a.m.?).

  719. The ultimate pampering for me is spending an entire morning with a hot cup of coffee (or two!), a dachshund curled up in my lap and the NEW annual Stampin’ Up! catalog in my hands. Heavenly!!! Thanks for the chance to win !!

  720. When I wake up each morning, I have my coffee in bed with my laptop and Mary Fish….yes, I start each day with your post. Love seeing all of your ideas and your One Minute to Wow videos. My dream is to one have have a craft room as beautiful as your.

  721. Have fun and enjoy your pampering Mary. My favorite way to be pampered is to go to my upline’s house (thanks Karen) and have a scrap day! She feeds us and we get to play in her stampin’ room all day!! I love it and I feel so refreshed afterwards!

  722. My pampering consist of a couple of hours to have manicure and a pedicure in a wonderful message chair. Turn the cellphone off and enjoy.

  723. I have a hard time allowing others to pamper me — I guess it is the control freak mom in me. But after surgery in August I had to let my family do more for me and, I must say, it was not bad at all. Just being able to ask for my water bottle to be filled and getting it done without a bunch of whining was a pleasure. Of course, it didn’t last long, but it was nice while it did last. Thanks for the chance at winning a little pampering & have a great time in St. George!!!!

  724. My idea of pampering: hubby having dinner on the table when I get in from work, then cleaning the kitchen while I stamp. He does this all the time now that he is retired and I am still working. It’s great!

  725. Pampering to me – oh, there could be many items on my list. But I think my favorite is having a pedicure with a foot massage. Particularly when I get a pretty color of polish. And I only speak Stampin’Up colors when I choose my color. The lady who does my pedicures gets a real kick out of our color names.

  726. Have a GREAT time in SLC! How fun! Pampering is a day alone to stay in my craft room ALL day and then a bubble bath!!!!

  727. Definitely a massage …I deliver mail and getting a massage is next to heaven!!

  728. My favorite pampering is going to my daughter for a massage. Two treats in one!!!! Being with my daughter & relaxing while her fingers do their magic.

  729. Pampering is when I can sleep a little later, proceed through the day at my own pace, Mani/pedi, Bubble bath with glass of wine and good book and stamping of course! Lots of stamping!!!

  730. Pampering and paper crafting sounds the same to me!! I love to spend the day in my pj’s and make cards and stamp. Have fun being pampered this week Mary!

  731. For me, pampering is not having to go to my second job, staying at home and creating in my stamp room.

  732. Occasionally I have a chance to pamper myself by sending the little guy off with hubby on an afternoon outing and settling in to my craft room with a newly hatched idea….nothing more rejuvenating! Thanks for the chance…hatching a new idea just looking at those goodies…

  733. Mary, my favorite way of pampering is a Sunday breakfast fixed by my husband, we stay in our pj’s and then, we watch football all day. This is awesome blog candy Mary so thank you so much for the chance to win it!!!!!

  734. Pampering to me is to stay in bed and read a good book with a cup of tea. Have fun at your getaway. I love your creativity. Thanks.

  735. Pampering to me is when my husband feeds all the animals, we have three alpacas, three dogs and three cats and he lets me make cards or sew with out having to stop and take care of the animals.

  736. I know this is going to sound odd to most woman, but I can’t think of anything more pampering than when I get on my harley and experience complete freedom from everything. It is the best therapy I know….then on rainy days, I make cards…HA!

  737. My daughter-in-law and I visit a local salon for manicure, pedicure and massage We relax, chat and just get ‘alone’ time.
    Enjoy your ‘pampering’ with SU and thank you for all of the inspiration you give to us.

  738. I love a day at the spa to feel pampered. Just being no where around the phone where the theme is relaxation makes me feel totally pampered. Haven’t been there in forever. Hope you enjoy your time of stamping and pampering!!

  739. Being pampered is not having to cook and clean – AND not have to nag others to do their chores! If you throw is some crafting time, it makes it even better 🙂

  740. Since I am a nail technician and give manicures and pedicures to others day in and day out, a pedicure would be nice from a fellow nail tech, with a good book to read. Then hop in the car to go on a fun scrapping weekend getting caught up on all my projects!

  741. My ideal pampering moment would be soaking in a bubble bath in the candlelight with a glass of wine and soothing music.

  752. My favorite way to feel pampered is a day off work and a new stamp set to play with.

  753. Staying in bed is a luxury with 3 busy kids not one that happens too often. Pure luxury is a weekend away, crafting with a friend where the big decision is what time someone else will make dinner for me!! (LOVE a day off from cooking!!)

  754. Love to stay in pajamas, have a cup of tea and curl up with a good book! Maybe follow stampin up projects on Pinterest!

After straightening up the house, I make a tray of tea things and set it out for a special guest—me! With some soft music, a scented candle and a stack of favorite magazines (or Stampin’ up idea books!)I sit in a comfy chair with my feet up and allow myself to drift off to sleep. Sheer bliss! (True confession: the clean house is the secret ingredient! Haha!)

  758. Maybe a massage, or just relaxing with a good book, either one sounds fantastic!

  759. Pampered…now that’s a term I haven’t heard in a while! We own a busy hay farm and this time of year is crazy. Don’t tell my husband, but sometimes I pray for rain so I get a chance to lock myself in my craft room for the day. Thanks for this great giveway, hope you’re having a blast!

  760. Pampering to me is getting a massage. My everyother week pampering is getting my nails done!
