As the keeper of all secrets around here, I’ve got another one for you.
Pssst…lean in. You’re not going to believe this, but it’s the first day of June today. June! Summer! School’s almost out! Yippee!
If that made your head spin, just wait until you learn about all the obscure occasions celebrated on June 1:
Early Bird Day – take advantage and get that worm!
Flip a Coin Day – heads I win, tails you lose (hee hee!)
Frozen Yogurt Day – the healthier choice, and full of flavor too!
Hazelnut Cake Day – with chocolate frosting, please
In addition to being Helen Keller Day, it’s also International Children’s Day – so give the kids in your life a little extra love today.
But my hands-down favorite for today is National Double Dare Day. Not just a dare, but a DOUBLE dare.
And I not only double dare you, I double-DOG-dare you to take on a new card-making technique today: misting!
To help you get there, I found some fun stuff in our blog prize cabinet from our friends at Tattered Angels:
The stamps coordinate with the glimmer screens, and there are even three different colors of glimmer mists! Don’t miss the Tattered Angels gallery for loads of inspirational projects.
Great news – I found THREE SETS to give away today! I want to hear the most daring thing you’ve ever done, or a dare you issued to someone else. Even if you just joined in an adolescent game of Truth or Dare, tell me all about it. Leave me a comment by midnight (MDT) on Wednesday, June 2 and I’ll pick three winners to take up my glimmer misting dare with this prize package.
Double daring you to have a terrific day,
Jennifer
too embarassed to say
I have taken on hiking the mountains at the age of 51…lol…my knees are killing me but my brain is yelling louder to do it! to try it! to achieve it!
I have two most daring things I’ve done, and both have happened in the last 7 years (I’ll be 41 this month). First, after a 12 year marriage, then divorce, I took up skiing even though I’m deathly afraid of heights. It was a very liberating experience. I remarried after finding my dream guy on an online dating site almost 6 years ago (oh, this was daring, too!), and we are both very much into cars. We each had a Mustang a few years back (he still has his) and we drove to a car show about 6 hours away. On the way back home, we came down some mountain passes doing 120 mph! I was very afraid Probably more about getting caught than anything), but it was such a rush!
Many moons ago a handful of us teens went to a river to go waterskiing. There was a bridge over the river and of course where there is a bridge over the river, there has to be teens to jump off it. Truly a stupid stunt but it seemed exciting at the time. Don’t think that will happen again now that I’m all grown up.
Most daring thing…maybe to eat some squid tentacles! Ew, not a big seafood fan anyways, but those tentacles really creeped me out!
Truth or Dare in High school – run around the block (at night) in your bra and underware. Man it was cold!! Fun though!! LOL!
I have always shied away from dares and daring others. I don’t like the unknown. I could have never survived being on the Fear Factor. I would take the dare of playing with Glimmer Mist. It’s an awesome product!
xoxo, Christine
Ate cow tongue! I know it sounds gross but is actually pretty good!
My most daring thing that I have done recently, was join a gym and have stuck with it for the past three years. I cannot believe what lifting weights can do for your arms.
Hmmm. I guess it would have to be the time that hubby and I were on vacation in the Caribbean and the resort had an au natural beach. Need I say more!!!! (I am definitely blushing here
)
Hmmm…I’m not very daring!
This is a great giveaway!
Don’t think I’ve done anything daring – no, wait, I went to Rome with a group, but spent much of the time exploring on my own. That’s pretty daring for me!
Would love to try glimmer mist!
my most daring is meeting my husband (at that time online friend) for the first time at his apartment and not a public place. All turned out well though = here we are happy 11 1/2 years and 2 children later
I was going to say that I earned my BSA Lifeguard certification at age 50 with a group of teen-aged boys. But then I saw another comment that reminded me about swimming topless on the French Riveria (so I would fit in), but that was 20 some years ago.
going back to university – the same year my son will be attending for the first time. yikes!
Not a very daring person… but I think that coming all the way from Brazil to US without my family and knowing just a couple of people… it was kind of a great adventure! =) And going back this year will be certainly another big one! =) Thanks for the chance to win! =)
going down a water slide! me not being the best swimmer, it was daring!
I can’t share my worst dare I ever did in mixed company and I wouldn’t repeat it anywhere! Those were the days!!!
I love Glimmer Mist and don’t have near enough colors to play with!!! I’ve had my eye on that stamp set for a long time!!!
Blessings,
Christine
Omygosh, there were a few, but hard to remember! While teenagers, late one Fri. night after work (after 11pm), driving up north to our summer house 5 or 6 of us, flying along the highway, someone might have dared me to um well errr…. flash something in the rear window under the moon shall we say, while the others were fast asleep. Luckily the roads were empty LOL. (giggling, only the driver and I knew)! and that was looooong ago too!
Please count me in, I have never seen these awesome products, but have heard so much about them, and would luvvvv to win and play with them. Thanks so much.
I think it probably was deciding to backpack through Europe by myself for 4 months. My best friend dropped out at the last minute but I still went.
I just tried my first spritz of Glimmer Mist for our Easter cards this year and I’m hooked! So my big dare – daring myself to run a marathon two years ago! I didn’t make it due to a career-ending knee injury but I ran a 10k and was up to 10 miles at a time on my way there. I still miss running but making cards has been a fun, if sedentary, substitute!
The mot daring thing I’ve ever done was scuba diving off the Phuket coast/Thailand last year. I did have about 10 minutes of intruduction, didn’t have a clue what I would need to do, if anything unexpected came up under water and still went down to about 20 feet to accompany my 12 year old daughter and her diving instructor. She had loads of fun, because she was trained properly, while I was more worried not to loose my mouthpiece or get water in the mask than enjoying the underwater beauty.
The most daring was the day my best friend and me discovered that we are much more than just good friends – now 6 years later we are married
and it was the best thing that could happen!
I would have to say the most daring thing i have ever done is go caving. I was 16 and absolutely petrified of confined spaces. It was only afterwards that i admitted i loved it but i’m not sure whether i could do it again!!
My MOST daring thing is not “G” rated so we will move to my next daring thing. I spent a week with my husband white water rafting, mountain biking, and rock climbing/ repelling! Would you believe that biking was the most scary? I found out the next week that I was pregnant. My little sidekick adventurer turns out to be the least daring person I know…lol
I am in love with glimmer mists. Thanks for the chance to win!
Not usually a daring person…like to play it safe, but I did ride a roller coaster again recently which was a pretty big dare b/c of some back problems I have, but I did enjoy it!
Those glimmer mists/stamps/screens look awesome!
In order to take an overhead picture, I had to ride 98 feet up in a basket hanging from a crane. We had learned from an earlier lower shoot that the basket had to be tied off to keep it from spinning in the air. My wonderful crew sent me up with a 50′ line!
My most daring feat: walking the high wire at a participation event at Ringling Bros. Barhum and Bailey Circus in Florida. There was a harness and a safety net, neither of which I needed as I successfully walked the entire length of the wire using a balancing pole. Not sure I’d ever try anything like that again!
Love the Tattered Angels products!

I’ve gone skydiving!
Belly dancing in front of an audience AND showing my belly.
When I was 23, I went para-sailing on a lake in Loveland, Colorado. So much fun! SO beautiful! Dont think i would try that today. Love a chance at tattered angels!
I’m not that daring a person, but on a beautiful night with he moon shining full and bright, my friend dared me to drive with the head lights off…thankfully it was in the middle of nowhere. but it was quite fun!
Most daring would have to be going to live in Paris by myself at 18, taking cooking lessions. Current daring – playing on a co-ed softball team at 47.
Thanks for a chance to win the Tattered Angels goodies.
My most daring event was jumping off a cliff into the raging ocean. My brother lured me up onto the cliff up a very rough rock climbing path, knowing that I couldn’t get back without jumping. So I HAD to jump. But I was then dashed against very rough rocks, sending me to the emergency room for stitches. He felt really bad about it, which made it all worthwhile…Good times, good times…
Sandra and Dare do not belong in the same sentence! – lets see roller coasters and skiing are probably the most daring I get!
Thanks for the fun.
Sandra
When I was only five years old and walking to kindergarden, a couple of older school kids (probably only in 2nd grade themselves) dared me to cross the street (without the school guard) … I remember feeling so guilty afterwards, but I looked both ways and no traffic was coming and I ran across the road … trembling with both fright and adrenaline.
Hmmm, not a daredevil at all — I always say I wouldn’t chance killing myself because there’s sooo many safe things I still want to do in life, I’ll just say that one of them is trying Glimmer Mist, as I do not have any yet — does that qualify?! LOL!
Hmmmm… I am not very daring. I think going on the Everest roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. (I HATE roller coasters) My daughter wanted to go so bad so I was a trooper and went. Let me say once was enough. I would love to take the dare to play with Glimmer mist.
The most daring thing was helping my first patient to deliver her baby!! I was in my 3rd year of OB school in Peru and it was so cool!! I won’t forget that experience, it was amazing.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Most daring thing I ever did was tell a guy in Grad school I liked him. It turned out well since he is my hubby now.
i am not very daring–but someone dared me to take a hot air balloon ride—well by the time we got to the place to take off the weather was not good so we never did it!
I love, love, love the glimmer mists!!
my most daring thing I’ve done is leave an abusive relationship after 14 years…..it took alot of courage and I feel great!
It was soooo long ago I needed 24 hours to remember, but I was double-doggie dared to kiss a boy! Thanks for the chance!
My most daring thing….hmmm—trying, but failing, to jump off of a HUGE rock into Mirror Lake at Yosemite. I was only 6, so the rock only LOOKED huge.
I think REAL spelunking in a cave in Alberta, Canada in mud up to our knees in places. It was particularly exciting when I almost got stuck and had to be man handled out of a tight hole.
I am not really a daring person…but when I was in high school I dance during 24 hours for fun. I meet my first boyfriend there
Many years ago, a friend and I thought we would shock our husbands, and we went out and bought very sexy outfits, like you see in Fredricks of Hollywood catalog, garter belts and well will let you imagine the rest, and we got in our car and drove 15 minutes to where they were and it was late at night, and we would have been horrified if a cop had pullled us over, but we made it and we did shock the heck out of our spouses!! And shocked ourselves that we did this!!
Sorry it had nothing to do with crafting!!

I’m not a very daring person!
When I was 12, I was dared to kiss a boy I liked… He became my boyfriend for the next month or so, so I guess it worked out for me, lol!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I moved to Dallas without knowing anyone right out of college. I’m from a very small town in comparison. Just navigating the streets was a huge accomplishment.
Well, I don’t know if this was daring, or what…I was riding an old school actual Jet Ski (not a Sea Doo, or the like) in a narrow area. A large yacht came by probably too quickly, and made a large wake. I hit the wake, went quite high, and came down with my nose on the stearing column. My friends thought that I’d broken my nose because it was puffy, but that’s just my nose!
