There’s A Big Birthday Blog Hop ….

… going on over at Just Magnolia, woohooo!!!

Yes, Just Magnolia is one year old!

And to celebrate we are running a blog hop which is being sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. Not only are they sponsoring the prize for the regular weekly challenge, there is also an amazing prize that has been sponsored by Simon Says Stamp for the blog hop which you can see over the the JM blog..

The theme of this week's challenge is

Thank-You.

For the DT this means the hugest of thanks to all our lovely followers and entrants each week, and also to our amazingly generous sponsors for the fabulous prizes they put up each week. We appreciate each and every one of you xxx

So welcome to our birthday blog hop and we hope you have lots of fun mooching round our blogs and seeing what we’ve all done. Ohh and there might be a bit of yummy candy on offer as well. Where it is, nobody knows but make sure you start and the beginning which is right here and you won’t miss out.

So if you are joining me from Michelle’s blog then you are in the right place.

So this is my thank you card and of course it's based on the fab sketch which our Mina has created for you.

I was sooo excited when my new kit dropped through the letter box and even more so when I opened it and saw the contents. Well this little sweetie caught my eye straight away so I knew I had to use her.

I’m going to do the next bit slightly different today as it’s a special post. I’ll put the shopping list bit at the end and I’ll leave you to have a look at the pics in peace.

So that’s my card :)

Image is from the new Spring Kit, coloured with Copics. Blooms are Wild Orchid Crafts and the punch is Martha's Doily gorgeousness from Dies To Die For (as were the Copics). The pink gingham paper is Pink Petticoat and the tulle is from Crafts U Love. Twine and ribbon are from my stash.

Now did I mention blog candy?

Oh yes, I think I did.

It’s all wrapped up and ready to go (and shiny paper is very difficult to photograph).

But what’s in the box?

Ahh well, that would be telling cos its a surprise, but if you leave your name with Mr Linky, and then Mr Random Thing chooses you next Friday, all will be revealed cos it will arrive on your doorstep as soon as soon after, no matter where you live in the world.

I’ll give you a clue though - it’s crafty stuff lol !!!!

OK now enough teasing and on with the hop.

The next place you’ll want to pop over to will be Dena’s blog where you are sure to find yumminess (not to mention shed loads of inspiration) in abundance.

Enjoy the hop and good luck with the candy hunting peeps xxx
