Skipping Stones Blog Hop- Hop(e) for Haiti

Welcome to Skipping Stones Design’s Blog Hop(e) for Haiti. If you just happened upon my blog today, you’ll want to go back to the beginning at Skipping Stones Design. You should have come from Christi’s blog.

As a company, we wanted to do something to give back to the people who have been so devastated by the Haitian Earthquake. So we thought what better way than to invite some of our favorite stampers to join us in this cause. Each card you see on the blog hop today will be auctioned on E-bay with all proceeds going to the Red Cross in support of the Haitian Relief Effort (please check the Skipping Stones Design Website for the link to the auction). 100% of the proceeds of the Ebay auction and $2.00 from every stamp set purchased from February 16 - 22 will be donated to the Red Cross. We know that we can make a difference.

Thank you for stopping by and your next blog to hop to is Sharon’s blog.

I used the Dandelion Dreams SS for this card and I have to say the stamps hold ink VERY well. It is a beautiful set that I will reach for again and again. Thanks Erin for inviting me to be a part of this hop…What a great idea.

How about a prize? In addition to the fabulous eye candy, we have decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! There will be a few pre-release sets up for grabs hidden along the blog hop. The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!!

If there is a break somewhere along the way, there will be a master list at:

Skipping Stones Design or at Sparkle and Bling

Have a great day…

Enjoy!

Creme Brulee Friend card…..

I needed a card for a friend and I finally got my order of new CTMH goodies, so I got to play. I am in LOVE with the new flower/ butterfly just blooms from CTMH they are gorgeous. The Creme Brulee flowers were the jumping off point for this card…and the rest just followed.   I am loving this color at the moment, I think because it is reminding me of the spring to come. All supplies are CTMH.

I also have some FUN news for you too!!! I was asked to be a part of a very special blog hop by my friend and fellow blogger..the VERY talented Erin from Inky Smiles

Please forgive the goofball picture and before I forget HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Wow a new decade!

2009 has been a rollercoaster of a year for me..so many things happening, here are some in no particular order…

I started Homeschooling all my kids, I became a Christian, I started reading the Bible, I started going to Church, I became an assistant Girl Scout Leader, my husband got laid off, the economy tanked, I learned the power of prayer, my husband got a new (better) job, I discovered blogs, I started blogging, I started entering blog challenges, I became a DT member for Unscripted, I met some amazing online friends, I discovered that mojo is a little difficult to find sometimes, I discovered Facebook, I discovered Facebook games, I discovered that Facebook is like a black hole for sucking time right out of your life, I discovered the Twilight Series, I discovered I was in love with a fictional Vampire, I relearned how to calculate the area of a circle, I got a new car, I gained (more) weight, I discovered that Hershey’s Bliss White chocolate squares with the soft center are THE BEST candy ever, and I learned that my husband and kids are the best and I love them dearly….Well really I knew that already :0)

My plans for 2010 are to pay more attention to my family, to spend quality time with them, to grow as a Christian and to take time for me.
