Season's Giving Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hello and welcome! I'm so EXCITED to be joining in my first time for the amazing Seasons Givings Blog Hop! If this is the first time you have joined this hop, it is a way to say THANK YOU to those who stop by, read, or comment here on my blog. There will be giveaways at EVERY stop along the hop. Some of your FAVORITE companies are joining in - and so many fabulous bloggers and friends. It is a HUGE hop - so make sure and grab your favorite cozy drink, and settle in for a fun time!

I have not one, not two, but THREE giveaways for you today!!! The first two are for US only, due to shipping costs - and then I have a 3rd for my international friends! NOTE: PLEASE make sure and let me know in your comment where you are from - that way I can enter you for the correct giveaway! :)

So - first up, I have a huge pile of Unity Stamps that I will be filling a flat rate parcel with - some are new, some are gently used - I just need to clear out some space and make room for all the lovely new goodies I keep getting!

Next up, same idea, but a bunch of Spellbinders dies and stamps - as before, some are new, and some are gently loved, but all have tons of life left in them and would love to come visit your home!

And finally - the INTERNATIONAL prize! These are all new, and I kept the size smaller so the shipping costs would be easier to handle for an international prize! We have a brand new Heffy Doodle Stitched Rectangle Dies - in Metric sizes! - as well as a stencil. Some Pretty Pink Posh jewels, and a Technique Tuesday mini stamp set and Simon Says Stamp mini stamp set!

June 2018 Favorites and Giveaway

Good morning! The past couple years I have had so much fun looking back over the past year and sharing a recap of my favorites from each month - and it's time of year again! It's so fun to see how my style has changed or sometimes stayed the same throughout the year and to be reminded of techniques I haven't tried in a while either. It is also nice to have a little time to catch my breath and spend time with family, and spend a bit less time in the craft room - or at least spend time working ahead for a busy new year! :)

In June 2018, I had 36 posts on my blog here! That's a LOT of blog posts!

I have posted links to the original post under each photo in case you missed it or would like more details! I am also going to box up some surprise goodie boxes filled with some gently used (and a few new) crafty goodies and pick a winner or two from any comments left on these 12 monthly recap posts (not each individual link from these posts!) - so if you're interested, make sure and leave a comment! I'm so grateful for each of you that has been part of this journey for me!
