This wonderful hop is hosted by Gill. She left us create anything we wanted. I started probably 10 projects but the one I am going to share today quickly became a favorite of mine.
I love the holidays and I love decorating. When I was young my family always had a Christmas before Christmas. My mom would read the Christmas story from the Laura Ingalls books. We would celebrate in the same way that they did. Those memories have stuck with me through the years and each year I try to do something similar. That is where the inspiration for this project came from. So here you go!
This is made from the back of a cereal box, 6 sheets of printed paper, 1/4 sheet of brown paper and a toilet paper tube. The only tools I used were a paper trimmer, scorer, circle punch and hot glue. Lots and lots of hot glue!
The thing I am most excited about is sitting down with my son on the first day of December when we will decorate it together. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my Rustic Rosette Tree. Here is the line up in case you get lost. You next stop is Jacki.

I love this paper. It is hard for me to make cards for men so this paper makes my life a lot easier. I used some pop dots, buttons, and ribbon for that little something extra. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Thanks for hopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop. Your next stop is Kristina. Please remember to leave comments on each post all 5 days to be eligible for lots of great blog candy. Here is the line up in case you get lost or a link does not work.

Ahoy there and welcome to Gill’s Pirate Day blog hop. You should have come here from Anita’s blog. If you just stumbled on my blog then you will want to start the hop at the beginning with Gill. I will have the full list at the bottom of the post just in case you get lost. Please make sure to visit all of the blogs and leave a comment.
When I heard about this hop I knew exactly what pictures I wanted to use. My little guy loved to play pirate and I have lots of pirate pictures. I did a 2 page LO.
I love, love, love this paper. It has a great texture and is just too stinkin’ cute! I cut the photo mats and then burned the edges. I added some pen lines and red stickles on the pirate’s sash. It was a real simple LO but I love it and so does my little pirate. Your next stop is Jessica. Thanks for hopping!

Don’t you just love the title of this hop? The minute I heard the name I knew I had to be part of it. Of course when I first signed up I was thinking of white sand beaches and pina coladas. By the time I did I project I was elbow deep in peaches, raspberries, [...]
I can not tell you how excited I am to be part of this hop. I thought I was going to have to miss it when blogger went wonky on me but thanks to Faith here I am.
This hop is all about Gill’s birthday and her love of pink. Happy Birthday Gill I hope your day is fantastic!!!!!! If you just happened upon my blog please start at the beginning of the hop on Gill’s page and hop along. I hope you enjoy my card/photo frame. I am not usually a pink person but I knew I had to be in on this since my niece loves pink. I mean really, really loves pink so I created this for her but I am going to wait until she is a little older to give it to her.
If you click on the pictures it is much easier to see. I am still learning wordpress. 
I used my Nesties to cut the heart out of the cardstock. I then made a bunch of tiny roses and attached them around the heart. The shimmery pink paper has pink Stickles dots on it and on the inside I stitched pink embroidery floss on the white cardstock. There is no sentiment yet since I am not sure when I will end up giving this to my niece. Please consider following me and please leave me a comment. The next stop on the hop will be Lisa. Thanks for stopping by and come back real soon!
Here is the full lineup just in case you get lost.

I can’t wait until tomorrow. This is going to be tons of fun so make sure you come by tomorrow and hop along!
I got up this morning to find I was having serious blogger issues and I was not alone. My friend Faith on facebook suggested I try wordpress instead and then she saved the day by creating this absolutely gorgeous, wonderful page for me. Please visit Faith’s blog and leave a comment here telling me what you think. I am thinking I am very blessed to have such a wonderful person in my life. Faith doesn’t know me from Adam and yet she took the time to help me and create this awesome page. Faith you are wonderful!!!!
>It’s is day 2 of our little hop and I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked so I don’t have a new project for you but…. I do have an MTC cut file give away. You should have gotten here from Meighen but if you just happened by you can start at the beginning of the hop with Jill. Above is a picture of the cut file that I am offering. I hope you like it and can find some uses for it!

>WOOOHOOO!!!!! It is summer!!!! Can you tell I am a little excited? I love summer because to me summer means fun and I love fun!
If you arrived from Meighen you are in the right place. If you just happened to drop by and would like to start at the beginning please start with Jill.
Here is my project. I made a Summer 2011 album. The pages are cereal boxes covered with paper. I love, love, love this paper and have been hanging on to it for awhile. I think this was the perfect project for it! I used DCWV and Bazzill. I did faux stitching on the photo mats which are chalked with Charcoal Cat’s Eye chalk and the cover is done with my much loved MTC. I used some loose leaf binder rings to hold it all together. There are Prima flowers with Ruby Red Liquid Pearls for the center. I finished off each photo mat with ribbon photo corners. Feel free to click on the photos to get a better idea of the details. I hope you enjoy and please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
The next and last stop on the hop is Gill. I hope you have enjoyed hopping along and picked up some inspiration. If you are not already a follower I would love to have you follow me. Thanks again and have a fantastic, crafty summer!
