New Challenge, New Winner, and a New BLOG HOP!!

Thanks to all who took the going green challenge for April and Earth Day.  I saw some amazing projects, gorgeous cards, and wrote down a few helpful tips on recycling and upcycling.  Our May challenge will be to use FLOWERS on your cards, layouts and latered art.  This month, we will have a twist to the challenge: there is a secret color.  If you use the secret color, along with your projects covered in flowers, you will receive an extra chance in the May drawing!!  So get out those flower images, primas, and handmade flowers and let's see what blooms on your craft table!!  Challenge will run for the month of May, ending on May 31st at midnight.  Have fun, crafters!
Next up is our May Salute to Parents BLOG HOP.  Check out the Mother's Day cards, as well as Father's Day cards, as you hop along our crafty trail.  Leave a little love on each blog, because this month one lucky person who comments on every blog including this one will get a chance to win a fabulous prize from Shannon Leffew, whose art can be seen at her Etsy shop HERE. More on Shannon and her prize offering to follow.
Meanwhile, the hop starts on Friday, May 11th and runs through Mother's Day, May 13th.  Want an extra chance to win?  Start following this blog, if you haven't done so already!  Not enough, you say!!!  In your comment on this blog, tell us a funny or favorite story about your mom!  That's three chances to win!!
Finally, it's time to announce the winner of the Going Green April Blog Challenge.  Random generator has pulled Number #1. Carolyn, that's you! Email me at patacake1956@yahoo.com for your prize.
Thanks again, everyone!  Happy crafting!!
