VETERANS DAY BLOG HOP!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! I decided to alter a notebook in honor of veterans day. I think of stars and stripes when I hear of veterans. My father, grandfather, uncles, husband, and exhusband were all in the military. I honor and respect those who have fought for, and fallen for the red, white, and blue. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
After visiting my blog- be sure to visit Diane at Crafting This Moment http://craftingthismoment.blogspot.com/

Now here is some good news!!! I have 2 giveaways going on here! First giveaway will be a Stampin Up hostess set that you can only get if you purchase $150 worth of Stampin' Up! items! Well- You wont have to do that! All you have to do is leave a comment here- and if you aren't already a fan of my facebook page- use that as your extra entry! Along with that Country Morning wood mount Stampin' Up! set is the notebook I created for this wonderful blog hop!

Our amazing GRAND PRIZE Blog Candy (2—count ‘em! TWO Chances to win!!) are brought to you through the generosity of Marlo, who created the marvelous Scrap’NTote and Anne, from Paper Patch Crafts.




The rules for entering are the same for both prizes: Hop along our path and leave a comment AND a way to contact you on each and every stop. Please leave contact information in a safe manner ( ie, written out, rather than a direct link). On Friday, November 12, KarelJ will use random.org to first select a blog number (1-20) and then a comment number from that blog for each prize. She will post the winner’s name on her blog and notify the bloggers, so they can also post the winner. KarelJ will contact the winner, using the information left in the comment. If there is no information available, she will choose another winner from the same blog. It is up to the winner to contact KarelJ at ksjennings(at)gmail(dot)com. If she has not been contacted by Monday, November 15, another winner will be chosen.



Now, on to the good stuff! Our first prize is a wonderful Pink Scrap’Ntote to store your Cricut Cartridges in! It comes to us from Marlo, at ContainYaCrafts. You can see the wonderful way this binder system keeps all your carts together, and ready to go in a flash on this link: http://www.cricutcartridgestorage.com/index.htm Need more than one? Put it on the Christmas Wish List and have the hubs order NOW, as they are simply flying out of stock! We got one of the final donations for the year, and are so grateful to Marlo!



Our second terrific prize is a set of Spellbinders Nesties in the Crown Circle Shape. It comes to us via the generosity of Anne, whose family has an incredibly strong military heritage.
