It's a Blog Hop!!

Hey y’all!  Happy Sunday!  If you’re new to my blog, welcome to my little corner of blogland.  =D  A year ago tomorrow I wrote my first post on this blog.  Over this first year, I have found so many dear friends and had so much fun entering challenges, being part of some fabulous design teams, and just creating for the joy of creating.  I decided this first anniversary needed to be celebrated in a big way, since this crafting community has become such a big part of my life.

On top of my one year blogaversary, I wanted to celebrate the birthday I just had.  One year away from the big 3-0….time passes by so fast!  Also, a couple of months ago I actually passed over 100 followers!  It’s just so hard for me to believe there’s that many people out there who want to see what I’m up to and (hopefully) are inspired by me and my creations!

As part of my celebration, I decided to have a blog hop.  I wanted to introduce y’all to some of the people who have really inspired me over the past year.  All of these ladies are extremely talented, kind and caring.  I would not be where I am today without their friendship and support.  I hope y’all enjoy visiting them!

Now, before I get to the list for the blog hop, let’s talk about prizes, shall we? There are actually two parts to this celebration.  The first is the blog hop.  Every person that visits every stop in the hop and leaves a comment on each post gets entered into a drawing to win a $10 gift certificate to one of my favorite stamp companies.  One will receive a gift certificate to Tiddly Inks, one to Guylou's Inimitability, one to Simply Betty Stamps and one to Digi Doodle Shop.  Click on the links below to visit their stores and browse around!

The second part of the celebration is…..the challenge!  Since I just LOVE fairies, I’m hosting a fairy themed challenge!  All you need to do to enter is to create a fairy themed project and link it to Mr. Linky below!  Only one entry per person, and please remember to link directly to your post and not to your blog.  You have until 11/12/11 at midnight CST to enter.  The candy pictured below is the grand prize for this challenge!  It has a little bit of everything, so I hope it looks yummy!  I tried to get a good picture....but there was too much stuff.  =D  You can't see everything, but you get the gist of it. 

I am just so excited to share this celebration with you, so let’s get started!  Below is the blog hop list, and below that is Mr. Linky.  Remember, you have until midnight CST on 11/12/11 for both the blog hop and the challenge!  Head on over to Vicki at Songbird’s Nest to start the hop, and you should finish up right back here.  Have fun!
