Treat Yourself Blog Hop

There is an awesome crop going on over at Card Swaps 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 be entered into the drawing for a prize for one lucky hopper! You will be given details at the bottom of the post.

I hope you have  arrived here from Brooke's blog. If not and you want to start at the begining
hop on over HERE.
The blog hop "theme" goes with the crop title of "Treat Yourself". The  projects were left 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.
When I want to unwind or treat myself I love to go shopping for paper.  I live in a small town in the mountains of Utah and to go down to the valley to shop is a treat!!!  I always love to stop at a crafting store and check out the new lines from my favorite companies.  To unwind I love to sew and crochet along with paper crafting. I created this card with some emphasis on quilting, sewing, and card making.  I LOVE all three!!!!

Unscramble It game for hoppers...
 You will be unscrambling a word once you  collect all the letters at each blog you visit. 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!! 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.
My letter is...R
Now, be sure to hop on to collect all the rest of the letters and return to the forum with all your letters and unscramble the phrase. Check out the challenges and play some games. Hope to see you there!!!
