Blog Hop!

The My Little Shoebox team is doing a blog hop today to say good bye to outgoing team members (I am one of them!) and celebrate the new team (YAY!!).

___________________________

heeeeey to all of you who got here from Tanisha's blog!
___________________________

The "old" team has created all kinds of fun projects to share today!
And it would not be a blog hop without prizes of course!!

So you need to check out all of our blogs & leave a comment on each one.

The more blogs you comment on, the greater your chances of winning.

When it is over, the powers-that-be at My Little Shoebox are going to draw 5 winners from all the comments at the end.
And the winners will get a big ole MLS prize pack!!

And there are separate prizes being given away by some team members which means even more chances of winning!

Fabulous!!

So make sure you follow along the blog hop and check out all the blogs!

___________________________
So here are my last "official" My Little Shoebox projects...

{*sniff*}

I couldn't resist!
:)

Those pears are from the Lil Critters line.

I did not get the chance to make anything with the Imaginary Friends line before now, but I have been itching to use that line to make a card like this...

I punched a hole in the card so that you can see this little guy peeking out from inside.

And one more!

I can't get enough of these cupcakes in the "Just Add Butter" line!
_____________________________
OK I am going to draw a separate winner from all the comments left just on this blog and send the winner some MLS goodies!
So comment away here people and then hop on over to Heather's blog next!!!
