Lulu Blog Hop and a Sketch For You To Try…

Posted by Jen | Bella, blog hopping, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, September 26, 2009

Greetings all! It’s been a wonderful week in the del Muro household. Tony’s mom and grandma are visiting from San Diego and we are having lots of fun! Ellie adores them. She keeps asking if they are going home yet, which makes it sound like she wants them to leave. In reality, she wants to make sure that they aren’t going anywhere yet. It’s real sweet that she asks a few times a day! We went to Sam Moon sans Ellie yesterday and I got a GREAT new purse. I will have to share pics later. As I type this, I am being waited on hand a foot and am being brought a brownie a la mode…YUM-O! Of course, it’s not for me…it’s for the baby!

Let’s get rollin’ on the Lulu blog hop with a Sketch For You To Try…
If you hopped here first, you might want to start at the beginning on the Stamping Bella blog. Otherwise, you should have come here via my friend, Debbie. When you are all done here, be sure to hop on over to Tiffaney’s blog!

How about a prize? In addition to the fabulous eye candy, we have decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a $25 Gift Voucher to Stamping Bella!!! The fun part is…we’re not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! We will announce the winner on Monday in the Splitcoast forum. MWAH!

Here’s the Sketch For You To Try this week…
