I've never tried Sakura pens and would definitely want to give it a try. ok here goes, I'm always passionate about my scraps which tells the story of my family. I find myself smiling secretly whenever I look at my work and read their faces on the projects....ok.I'm crossing my fingers now!lol!

My passion is volunteering. I have volunteered for so many different groups over the years, but I really like working with the homeless. I just hosted 34 "clients" at our church for a week and it was the most difficult but most rewarding week ever. That is my passion and what brings me joy!

Well - lots of things... but right now - my goofy puppy. He is now one year old. There was a time - a few months back - that I considered ringing his neck a few times. But he matured perfectly and now is such a wonderful dog who has all the traits of a lab that I love so much. He is smart, obedient, full of energy, funny, just a joy to come home to. He makes me smile and laugh out loud daily - and he makes me exercise! He loves long walks and I love taking him on them. And he is cute and goofy. Love that dog.

[Kelly R]

Well my main passion is photography of course but a very close second is pens! I am a pen fanatic and these look awesome!
I order pens from Jet pens like once a month.

[Danielle]

Oh wow what a nice package and a wonderful honor to be a sponsor!! I am passionate about several things, If I have to say one thing I would say that I am passionate about my craft, scrapbooking and card making! I have never been published so I can not say that is the reason, but with every project I complete I feel so great about each and every one I love making cards and giving them to family and friends, they love my cards and that makes me feel so good that I can make a card and make someones day!!! Thanks for the chance to win that wonderful package!!!

My passion is crafting and sharing that passion. I'm open to learning more types of crafting, but the biggest one is scrapbooking. Next to that (other than family is number one) it's traveling. I love to see new places, check out their history, taste local foods.

BTW: this is one of my favorite in the whole wide world companies.

[Cathy]

Wow - that is a lot of loot! I only have one small set of pastel Souffle pens but I Loooooove them! The things that bring me JOY right now? At exactly this moment: good loud music while I'm scrapping, the first cup of coffee in the morning, my kiddos sitting in the room next to each other reading each other Dr. Seuss, a day off school, DH upstairs preparing skillets with hollandaise sauce for B'fast...oohh..it's going to be a good day, I can tell already!

[Heather Kamarainen]

Very cool! I am passionate about lots of things. Some are personal others are not. I'll list the not-so-personal ones. One of those is scrapbooking. I'm also passionate about photography, animal rescue, and reading. :)

[Colleen]

Hmmm.....being with "Family" & "Friends" come to mind first then of course "Photography"! I just can't take enough pic's! Sleeping, chocolate chip cookies and my puppy "Marlee" (don't tell the other 3 dogs!) and Mr. Howl my cat are all on my list, too! Sounds like a good subject to scrap!!!! I must get those pens! :)

[Julie Howard]

WOW! I love Sakura pens! My current favorite is a clear glitter pen - it is perfect for highlighting all kinds of things!

The creative thing I am most passionate about right now is learning to be a better photographer, and incorporating dimension in my layouts an mini albums.

[Amy]

LOL! Sakura is definitely a better sponsor than Red Bull, if you ask me! :D What a fantastic package of goodies! Thanks Sakura, and Tracy, for the fun giveaway. Great question, too, Tracy.

Yes, well, I will try not to ramble too much in trying to explain all my zillions of passions! I should probably just say "art" and "crafts" and leave it at that. Anything to do with paper or textiles makes me insanely happy! I also love photography, and of course, taking fun trips so I can photograph the scenery. :D

[Elisa K]

I am very passionate about color. I love to use lots of it in my scrapping and art. Color is an amazing way to show how you feel etc. I am also passionate about music. I must listen to it everyday. What a way to get a message to the world.

Love your blog Tracy and thanks for a chance to win some amazing pens.

[Erin Gudge]

I LOVE Sakura pens! they totally rock!

I think that different things bring excitement and passion into our lives at different times. Right now, and for most of my life ART is bringing me passion. I'm back in college full time and my art classes are just opening up so many exciting ideas for me. Scrapbooking has been my art for several years now, but I'm going for a degree in Graphic Design, and I'm taking drawing classes as well. I feel so inspired by learning right now, and the art is just giving me the oomph to keep going!

[Carol B]

I'm passionate about my family! I love my husband and kids - and our extended family and friends too. Love is what makes the world go 'round!

[Cindy B. in Montana]

Well, you know I have to say photography and trying to improve my skills...and I also have to say being a wife and a grandma!! Great stuff!!

[Kimberly K]

I am passionate about my family. My children and husband mean so much to me, they are my life. They are in every scrapbook that I do. My children and husband know they are loved.
I am also passionate about helping senior citizens. I love to take the time to listen and/or do something to make their life better or to help them feel loved.
I love your blog too by the way!

[Sara F.]

My number one passion is my family. I love being with them and creating experiences with them that will make happy memories. That leads into my number two passion which is scrapbooking! It's a way for me to get creative, play with design and color, and still have it all be about my family and helping them have those happy memories. It's a win-win situation! :)

[kshand]

WOW, Tracy...to have someone want to sponsor your blog. How totally cool is that!! Congrats.

I loved reading everyones responses. I would have to say I am most passionate about my family and close friends. I am so blessed to come from a very close family and glad my kids get to experience that. After that I would say scrapbooking and travel.

[Jen Wuthrich]

Look at you with a sponsor for your blog...you go girl! Woohoo...I too love Sakura!

Ok honestly I would say I am passionate about my family. It's really my number one focus in life...the reason why I scrap and the reason why I get up in the morning.

[Reel Girl]

Breakfast!
I LOVE breakfast food! Bacon (or sausage) eggs (lots of eggs!) along with sourdough toast, fried potatoes and melon!
Yum. Now I'm hungry!

[Cindy K]

Hi Tracy...another chance for free stuff - Woohoo! My passions are many because I find that if I am not passionate about things then they get neglected. I haven't develop that knack where you only give something part of yourself. It's all or nothing for me. So with that said, family first and then children. I pretty much devoted myself to raising my two wonderful daughters and then nurturing many, many other children for about 28 years. Nothing more rewarding or satisfying than that in my opinion. Again, thanks for the opportunity to try for cool free stuff. Cindy

[Susan]

I'm passionate about what's right and just. I'm passionate about having a conviction without wavering. We don't know everything that is for sure but we all know something. Be passionate about the things you know for sure; what is right and just to you. (sorry feeling deep) - love the loot too!!

[Cori S]

What an awesome giveaway!!!

Ok... I am passionate about many things. But I am most passionate about being happy and content with the things in my life. Make the best of what you have, right?

Thanks so much!

[Joana]

I'm passionate about Christ, my husband, my daughter, my friends and family. I'm also passionate about music, photography, and the creative process.

[Lynda aka arlsmom]

Right now I am most passionate about my family. With the holidays coming up it is often challenging living in another part of the country from your extended family. Spending as much time enjoying the simple things in life are what I have at the top of my list. From going on a leaf collection walk through the neighborhood, to loading the swimsuits into the truck so my husband can take them swimming on a cold rainy day...I am passionate about being in the moment...really living my life right now. And counting my blessings!

[Trish Adams]

Awesome giveaway!! Im passionate about creating memories for my children to have when they are grown. Being the best mom I possibly can and spending time with my kids. Im passionate about photography and scrapbooking and just creating. :)

[niki]

My family and I are passionate about our vacations. We save for them together and we plan them together. Letting our 5 year old have his input too has been very rewarding. They are a time when we are together without normal distraction.

[dawn]

my passion is crafting and my family! I love to do paper crafting and I love to spend time with my family! thanks for this generous offer!
Dawn

[Amber H.]

OMG!! I so wanna be you when I grow up!! Lucky duck you. I feel so blessed to have actually meet you!!

I am passionate about my kids the most. They are my life. Stamping is close to being up there with them but right now they override stamping. I think it's because they are still young enough (well with the exception of the tween) not to be giving me gray hair. I feel as if I'm growing right along side them.

Thanks for a chance to win, Tracy.

[Tish Treadaway]

I am passionate about altered art, scrapbooking, and photography. I love my family for supporting me in all my endeavors.

[lily goldsmith]

let's see, I think I am passionate about all things creative. I love to just sit and create....no matter what the medium

[Beth Root]

What a fun challenge, my friend!
I have been thinking about this one alot lately, as this has been a very long year for me. i will be glad to see 2009 come in with a bang!

I am passionate about my family and spending quality time with them. I have been away from my family, physically and emtoinally for most of last year and have found my way back. My husband and my son are everyhting to me and by putting things into perspective, we have gotten back on track. All of us. I love seeing gav grow, change, and then still come back to cuddle and watch Kung Fu Panda with me. Hubby, well, we are back to having 2 cards in the garage (literally), combined rides to basketball games and actually eating dinner at home together. Things are good...life is good and when life, family, and emorions are good....passion abounds! Thanks for helping me put it into words!
Hugs!
Beth
