My World: Treat Yourself Cardmaking Blog Hop

There is an awesome crop going on over at CardSwaps this week. Challenges and games will be posted August 8-11, 2012 and you have until 11:59PM EST August 14, 2012 to get your projects posted to the appropriate thread.

If you haven't participated before, don't worry! There are many members and myself that will be around to offer support and encouragement. You can find out all you need to know in the forum. At the end of the hop, you will be taken to the crop and I do hope you join in.

Collect the letters along the way and unscramble them to entered into the drawing for a prize for one lucky hopper! You will be given details at the bottom of the post.

OK... You arrived here from Angelina's blog, I hope. If not, go back and check out her blog and collect your letter. Then collect my letter and hop on. If you want to start over, feel free to start back with Brooke on the CardMaker Magazine blog.

The blog hop "theme" goes with the crop title of "Treat Yourself". We pretty much left the type of project up to the hostesses of the blog hop, as long as it somehow conveyed a way the hostess "treats" herself. We were also asked to share something about a way we unwind or our favorite way to treat ourselves.

One way that i treat my self is with craftting... it really helps to unwind, relax and forget crazy hard days at work. As Department Manager at McD's, i have to keep the fast pace of service and that great customer service, but some times i find really HARD to wake up @ 3:00 am and be smile ready or not drag my feet. specally on those busy days, so when i get home coloring is what makes me unwind, my personal treat are my copic markers!! how i LOVE them! i have paintting for a long time so when i don't want the mess of paint or paint brushes, copics are great! and thats what this card represents, a cute colored magnolia stamp.

Unscramble It game for hoppers... You will be unscrambling a word once you will collect a letter at each blog you visit. The hostesses can play along, because they don't know any of the letters but their own... I'm tricky that way. Once you collect ALL the letters, the last hostess in the blog hop will direct you to the thread in the forum where you can find all the details you need to enter the drawing. All hoppers collecting all the letters, unscrambling the word or phrase, entering the game by following the directions in the forum, and leaving feedback on EVERY blog in the hop WILL be entered in to a random drawing held on August 15, 2012. ONE lucky hopper will have their name drawn and will win a prize!! Fun, right?? The winner will be posted in the forum on the game thread for Time To Shine Unscramble It! So, make sure you visit every blog and find the letters. Your hints are... it’s a phrase, it has three words, and it’s a way to keep balance in one's life.
