Hey People! I hope that your week is starting off with a BANG! I'm trying to catch up after falling to the season's first winter cold. Ick. But!! I mustered enough brain cells to come up with a project for another E-Team hop!! I didn't want to miss out on all the holiday fun!!
Be Merry Tag series #3
E-Team
ME!!
And as you have all come enjoy and expect, it wouldn't be an E-Team blog hop without some wonderful goodies up for grabs!! Leave a comment on all the participating Team member blog's for a chance at 3 Be Merry Goody Boxes that will be chosen randomly. PLUS: make sure you leave a comment on the eP blog on what your favorite Thanksgiving dessert is (or your favorite dessert period! hehe) for a chance at 2 $20 eP gift vouches to the eP store!! Comments can be left from today, November 15 until Thursday, November 17. Winners will be announced on the ep blog Friday, November 18.
For this series Daisy gave us free reign as to what holiday stamps, papers, embellishments we could use from the wonderful eP store. Our only instructions were to make a Tag and an ATC.
Have you noticed that lately I have had a very hard time following directions?!! I'm going to grab onto the very thin life line that I have been sick and just did not have enough energy or mojo for two projects. BUT!! In my defense, I did create a project that required a few more ideas!
