Frosty Festivities Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Frosty Festivities Blog Hop!



You should have arrived here from the talented MEGHANN'S blog, but if you've stumbled here by chance or have just got lost along the way then I suggest you head back to the beginning at Jennifer Grace Creates and start from there!

Today we're celebrating all things Christmassy and Wintery!
If you're anything like me you'll know that it's never too early to start thinking Christmas thoughts ;-)


I made this layout especially for the hop using the October Afternoon Make it Merry collection. It's a photo of my cute (and I think perhaps slightly jaundiced!) niece celebrating her first Christmas last year. She was barely 1 month old and needless to say didn't really appreciate the festivities going on around her.




Like all good blog hops, there's amazing prizes up for grabs! If you comment on all the blogs in the hop, finishing at Jennifer Grace Creates to let Jennifer know you've been all the way around, then you'll be in with a chance THIS GRAND PRIZE of Simple Stories December Documented and Elle’s Studio Noel items, worth over £28! All entries must be received by Monday the 11th of November at 10.59pm GMT.



But you can also win this PRIZE FROM ME today if you leave a comment here. And you'll score another entry if you're a follower of my blog (just let me know). Loving the October Afternoon Make it Merry collection as much as I do, I've got some extras for one lucky winner. One person will win this amazing 4x6" Rubber Stamp, buttons and the Little Flyers from me just for leaving a comment!


Your next stop along the hop is... the fabulous RIIKKA!!

PS. 
Just for you Julie.... here's a recent picture of my cute niece 1 year on. Ready to celebrate another Christmas in more style this year I think!
