Encouragement Card Hop

Well hello everyone:

I hope all is well with everyone.  I am back for a second post in one week and am so excited to be because I am part of a fun "ENCOURAGEMENT" card hop.

I recently went to an On The Make Crafty Event hosted by Koren Wiskman and Mary Polanco in Morehead City, NC and had such a wonderful time (I'm sure people are tired of me talking about it by now, but I just can't because it was such a great time).  These two wonderful and beautiful ladies are a true inspiration to me and was just so excited to meet them and make new friends while I was there as well. 

Not only was it a great time, but it started up my creating mojo 😍

The other aspect of getting my mojo back is participating in this Encouragement Card Hop hosted by Courtney Keebler, Mary Polanco and Jenn from Scrapbena Creations.  It's not the typical blog or video hop, but a card hop.  It is an event for ALL crafters regardless of whether you blog, YouTube or no social media at all.  The three ways to participate is by a YouTube video, a blog post or you could have mailed in a card that will be featured in a video coming up soon.  Isn't that wonderful, especially for those that don't do any type of social media.  I still haven't gotten the courage up to do a YouTube video, so am doing this blog post instead 😊.

We were asked to create an encouragement card and it comes at the perfect time because not only am I wanting to encourage other creators, but I have a friend who is going through a tough time and this is going to her to say don't give up on your dreams, to keep on pursuing them and that I'm here for you always.

So thanks Courtney, Mary and Jenn for putting this together because not only is it a great way to get ALL creators to come together and share our creations, but it gets us excited in participating and encouraging creators out there to go create💓😍.

The next person on this hop is Tanya Boser with a video. Head over and watch.  Enjoy !!

Talk soon
