Our Favorite Things Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Our Favorite Things Blog Candy Extravaganza! You should have just come from Paula's blog. If you stumbled upon the hop while visiting my blog (awww, you're so sweet!) please start at Dena's blog. Many of you are familiar with Oprah Winfrey's famous "Favorite Things" show where audience members walk away with an array of fabulous gifts.  It was always so fun to see how excited the audience members got with each giveaway.  Well, if you've always wished you could sit in the audience of one of those show tapings, we have the next best thing for you!

Each participant in this hop is going to share a favorite of hers.  It could be a craft-related item or a non-craft related item.  In addition to that, each and every blogger is giving away blog candy!  This means you have a chance to win at every stop!

Each blogger has her own rules for winning her blog candy, so please be sure to read the rules on each blog for a chance to win.

Without further ado, here is the project I created for this hop VIA VIDEO!!! :

To win my blog candy, you must be a follower of my blog and leave me a comment below with a way to contact you. :) That's it!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please be sure to hop on over to Jamie's blog to see what she has to share with you and for more blog candy fun! Happy hopping and good luck to you!
