Halloween Banner Hop!

I will be creating a Banner to donate on this hop, as I'm a stop! My very FIRST hop! I am so excited! Making the Banner is the easy part. It's the taking of the picture and creating a linked post? that is proving to be the challenging part! I also would like to give some of my own blog candy away! Going to go digging through my Halloween stuff tonight to create the Banner and then post it on my blog!
Wish me luck!

Whoo hoo!

I just counted and I have surpassed following over 100 blogs! 119 to be exact! I should give away some of my own Blog Candy to the 120th blog I choose to follow!

I also need to start blogging more and posting some of my own crafty projects!

Who will be 120???

Gee, making up my own personal hop! I have won a total of THREE times already. One win was from a blog hop, one from being the 100th blog follower and one from sending in a postcard to Papercrafts magazine! I guess you could say that I have all of my bases covered eh?

Thanks for stopping by and have a fantabulous day!
