Didn't I tell you this was and Awesome Line-Up. These are the most Sweetest and Fabulous Ladies around and I couldn't feel more Honored & Blessed that they each agreed, right off the bat to participate in the Blog Hop with me with no hesitation.

Here are the rules for this Blog Hop:

 - You must be a follower for this Blog Hop

 - You must visit and leave a comment to each Blogger on this Hop

 - Make sure to leave a way for me to contact you on this post.

 - Have FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Here is my project which is dedicated to a short list of my very, very, near and dear friends that I like to call my SIS (short for sisters). I'm an only girl of 6 boys that my mother had. So Lucky ME, I get to choose who my sisters are. These ladies have been with me through thick and thin, seen me at my worst and best of times and they're still sticking around. Friendships or Sisterhood doesn't come around like that too often. It's always a Blessing to have a one true go-to friend and confidant, but to have more than one of those kind of people in your life is like having earthly Guardian Angels at your side day by day. Ok, I don't want to get all misty on you all, so let me stop there. This special card goes out to

My Sisters:

• Cheryl
• Eldrina
• Heidi
• Juny
• Lacquitta Ann (some say my twin)
• Patricia
• Rochelle

These ladies all know enough about me to turn me in to the CIA for good if they wanted too...(lol). I Love Them ALL so Dearly and they have all help shaped (other than my Mom) who I am today and grow into be each day. So this dedication for me, is to the BEST BESTIES in the World To ME. Hope you like my card.

Day 4 - 100+ Followers Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

I have making cards and little do-dads for a while on my computer long before I knew anything about this crafting world let alone a Cricut. I sure do appreciate these machines and tools out here now. Boy oh boy how this would have saved me a lot of time, mistakes and waste of paper if I had back then, what I have now. I would create a design on my computer to print on my card and them print a saying to go on the inside. All of my sayings were personalized for the person I was giving it to, which made it hard sometimes coming up with the right words to put on paper (and make sense...lol). Anyhew, I put that talent down for a while and only dabbled into when requested by word of mouth from those who knew what I did. Well more and more requests would come in and then before you knew it I was scheduling dates for when I needed to make invitations, cards, favors...etc. My DH woke me up late one night, I'm not sure what time it was, to have me watch some Cricut commercial **sn: ( I don't not like my sleep interrupted unless there is a family emergency or the house is on fire)**. Barely opening my eyes, I caught a glimpse of two ladies showing some cuts they were doing on the infomercial and I said to him..."that's nice" and went back to sleep. Cricut never came up again until one day on the weekend I was flipping through channels and came across the infomercial again about Cricut. I sat and watched the entire infomercial over and over. I thought "hmmm, that really is a neat machine". Well DH looked further into this Cricut thing than I did and without even asking if this is something I really wanted, he bought me my first Cricut Expression (in Royal Blue - one of my favorite colors) for me as a Christmas gift back in 2009. I thought how cool, but I still didn't rip open the box right then. It sat in a corner for a little while longer. I later decided to do some more research on the internet to find out more about this product and I went directly to the owner's website "Provo Craft" I read a lot that whole week and came across the community forum. This is where I Struck Gold... **sn: (It's like one of those commercials when you hear the music in the background to the sound of someone reaching those heavenly gates and they burst open with the Shinning Beaming Lights)**.  I digress; many of you know this lady... "My Pink Stamper" aka Robyn Cardon was that Golden Moment for me. When I saw she had a website and... videos (woo hoo), I sat and watched every single one of them in 2-3 days or maybe less. I ripped open that box like it was Christmas morning all over again. From that moment on my inner Cricut Beast was unleashed... and so was my piggy bank. Seriously this hobby of ours will have you breaking the bank to buy stuff you won't even use(for a while that is), don't want to use(cause the paper or ribbon is to pretty to cut and you don't want to run out of it) or like me, even forget you have some items and end up buy it again...(raise your hand if you're guilty, uh hmm I knew I wasn't the only one). LOL...!!! Thanks for reading and letting me go on about my story. I just wanted to share. Now onto...

Day 4 - Giveaway:
I'd love to hear your story on how you were introduced to the Cricut World. We all have one. Feel free to share yours in a few words if possible. I'll be sharing some candy goodies with the winner on this day. Good Luck. Here's what you're sharing your story for.

Day 3 - 100+ Followers Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

WOW Blogger has really been going through some serious issues these past few days and I haven't seen one explanation as to why. I'm not going to let that rain on our parade so continue to spread the word about the 7-Day Giveaway here at Scrapper in the Making. With a Upcoming Blog Hop on Saturday, July 16th. You don't want to miss out. So Get the Word Out! Now onto...
Day 3 - Giveaway:
What are 3 of your most favorite tools to use when crafting? (other than your circut machine) we know that's an all time favorite of everyone's and that's a given.
I would have to say my most favorite are:

Day 2 - 100+ Followers Giveaway

Looks like we're off to a GREAT START, I know Blogger has been having a lot of issues lately, but we won't let that stop us from having Fun! I'm so grateful to gain the followers I have and welcome with open arms all the new followers too. I hope you stay around for the long haul of things even after this Celebration of Giveaways. I'm still amazed and enjoying this journey. Remember Day-1 is still open for you to spread the word and let me know who sent you. That will be remain open until 7/10 - 7/16. So Get the Word Out!
Day 2 - Giveaway:
I am such a "Stamp-Aholic"! I know I'm not alone, but I have a very hard time knowing how to best store them. I have some in Binders, CD Cases and still on Blocks or in the Clear Packaging. Heeelllpp! I know there has got to be an easier more compact/organized solution. These rubber stamps are definitely the hardest to store, I definitely prefer the unmounted and acrylic by far. Please share with me "How Do You Store Your Stamps?" Feel free to add your link info below showing a picture, video or let me know in your comment. I am re-organizing my craft space thanks to DH providing more room for me in our shared office space. I need some functional tips so that I get ample use out of my stamps that I have. One winner chosen by random.org will win the blog candy below.
