Good Morning!! So happy you could join us for this Amazing Talent filled Blog Hop. First off, i would like to thank Joy, from Joyslife.com for inviting me to be a part of this Great Group! I was so honored she even thought of me. I was even more excited when I found out what the hop was all about!! I had been wanting to create a journal book just about me. I wanted to document everything that has been going on this last year, since I challenged myself to lose weight and transform myself. So this was perfect.
Now if you arrived here from Margie's blog - http://bellabugcreations.blogspot.com/ , then you are in the right place. If not you will want to start at Joy's blog - http://www.joyslife.com/ . that way you don't miss a thing. Now onto my project. Like I said I wanted to create something where I could write down my thoughts, my struggles and achievements during this journey I have embarked on. So this is what I created. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Had way too much fun making this, so I forgot to note what exactly I used. But I can tell you there are a lot of Tim Holtz, and Prima flowers.
The back of my book is just covered with the same pattern paper I used on the front. Well there you have it. I hope you enjoyed it. I will be giving away some Tim Holtz goodies to one luck commenter. So leave me your thoughts and a way for me to contact you. I will pick a winner on August 24th. Now onto your next stop which is
Melissa -http://melissa-moecreations.blogspot.com/ . I have included the complete lineup in case you should get lost. Thank you so much for joining us and I hope you have enjoyed yourself. Take care and have a Great weekend!!
