Happy New Year!! I am SO excited to be kicking off the new year by participating in the second annual Season's Givings Blog Hop! You should have arrive here from Stephanie Muzzulin's blog!
If you're hopping along and you're just stopping by for the first time, let me say WELCOME! I'm so glad you're here :) :) If you're a regular follower who's just stopping by then be sure to check out the hop list and visit ALL of the amazing blogs along the hop!
This awesome hop was started as a way to say THANK YOU to our amazing followers for all your love and support throughout the past year. And what better way to say thank you than with giveaways?! That's right my friends, there's a giveaway at EVERY stop along the hop! Holy moly that's a lot of crafty goodness!
As you all know, the holidays are a crazy busy time for all of us, so I apologize but I didn't whip up a big shiny new project for you guys :( BUT I thought it would be fun to do a little year in review!
First, if you're just meeting me, I'd love if you'd stop by my very first blog post this year and read a little about me.
And, new follower or not, I'd like to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you for sharing in these big moments from the past year:
NONE of these things would have been possible without YOUR support!
AND here are a few of my favorites cards from the last year:
Ok sweet friends, I HOPE that makes up for my lack of a new card!!
Now who's ready for the giveaway?!
I have a big bundle of UNITY goodies for you!!
Simply leave me a comment and I will choose a winner on Monday January 6th!
I'd also LOVE it if you would check out:
Alright sweet friends, it's time to hop on over to Christiana Reuling's blog!
Big bloggy hugs <3
Alyssa
PS. Here is the full hop line up in case you get lost!
Love your artwork, thank you for sharing and thank you for the opportunity to win blog candy as well. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteReally love your Love Never Fails card!! Congrats on all the great events of the past year....and may 2014 hold even more wonderful moments!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely of you to offer such wonderful blog candy. You did not try to twist our arms into becoming followers in order to be eligible (which I GREATLY appreciate!), but I am a brand-new follower by Google Friend, nonetheless. Yippee!!

I just love the vibrance in your cards. The colors just pop. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteHey, Alyssa! Happy New Year! I've been on this blog hop all year! (hee, hee!) What a fantastic collection of artists and you're right up there at the top of my list. I read your first post and I'm so glad that things turned around for you. Going though tough times, going though good times - that's life, but I'm so happy to read that your life has become much better over time! How long have you been teaching kindergarten? I'm set to retire from teaching in May. I have taught 38 years, almost all of it in kindergarten and first grade. I'm so looking forward to working/playing with my new passion - paper crafting. I'm so grateful that I happened upon this blog hop and have the opportunity now to learn from many new friends. I loved looking at your designs and look forward to participating in following your blogs! I hope the good times continue to roll for you as 2014 unfolds! Robin
ReplyDeleteI love your cards, there's no doubt bout that. You are creative and inspiring. I read your first blog post and feel such admiration for you and how you have overcome and moved forward.Thank you for sharing you story and being an inspiration. Happy New Year!
