Linda,
Your tag is stunning!! You continuously amaze and inspire me. I was starting to worry because I only have one snowman stamp set. You really pulled it off with that grungeboard...so cool!!

Thanks again.  Linda

March of The Snowmen Blog Hop and Blog Candy!!!

First I want to thank Melisa Waldorf , for inviting me to play along with today’s blog hop.  I’m honored to be involved with so many talented ladies.

Just a short story about today’s blog hop.  Recently Melisa was searching through all of her snowmen stamps planning a winter card and thought how could she pick just one?  She said “they are all so cute”.  Her mind started to race with thoughts of how much fun it would be to be a part of a snowman blog hop.  So, she invited a few friends and decided to plan one.  So here we are, and we are very excited you could join us today for the first annual "March of the Snowmen" Blog Hop. Please make sure you check out what all the other participates have designed, I’m sure you will not be disappointed!!

You might also want to know that many of the participants are giving away Blog Candy! I'm not telling you who or what, so you'll just have to visit everyone to find out.

Well, my story is quite different then Melisa’s because I don’t own one snowman stamp…  The only thing I had was this cute Grungeboard Snowman from Tim Holtz idea-ology Seasonal packet that includes many cute designs.  I’ve only worked with grungeboard once or twice, and it’s still a work in progress.  I do like it, but still learning. 

As most of you know, I am working on tags it be attached to our family and friends gifts this Christmas.  We give our friends Wine, and these tags look wonderful hanging around the neck.  

When I found out that we could give away goodies today, I called Sandy, the owner of Crafty Secrets, and asked her if it would be OK for me to give some of her products as part of this giveaway.  Get this, she said “ why don’t you give TWO instead of one”…. Sooooo, ladies, I have two different sets I can give away today ;)  To win all you need to do is leave a comment here on my blog, and I will pick a random number (twice), for two lucky ladies on Sunday, December 6th, 12:00 noon PST . Please make sure you leave your email, or check back on Sunday.  Good-luck!!!!

Thanks Linda
