Birthday Blog Hop!

Hello everyone! I am *thrilled* to be kicking off my Birthday Blog Hop today! I even have butterflies in my tummy as I type this :). I am turning the big three-oh on Wednesday, and I thought that it would be fun to celebrate online with some of my scrappy friends and fans of my Etsy shop, Precocious Paper. Nineteen talented designers have created fabulous projects. I hope you will join us!


I am going to share a new project each day of the hop, and today I am sharing a new yarn wreath:


I used the chartreuse yo-yo flower from the August Sampler, Summer Twilight, as well as the Navy, Fuchsia and White Felt Roses.



Presents are a fun part of having a birthday, so I have some for you! Here are the details:

♥ Leave a comment on EVERY designer's post, as well as this post, to be entered to win the Grand Prize - the September, October, November and December Samplers! That's a value of over $50.00, and the upcoming samplers are some of my favorites ever :).
♥ As you are leaving your comments, I will randomly be choosing hoppers to receive surprise gifts.
♥ One lucky blog follower who participates in the hop will win a $20.00 gift certificate.
♥ One lucky Facebook fan will win a $20.00 gift certificate.
♥ All purchases made August 29th - September 5th will receive a free gift.
♥ Find free shipping codes at each designer's blog.

Ready to hop? Here is the AMAZING line-up! If you get lost, just come back here to get back on track. And when you're all done, don't forget to come back and tell me what you thought of the hop!

Tessa Buys  (you're here now)

If you don't have a chance to visit all the blogs today, no worries! The hop runs through Wednesday, August 31st. Thank you to all the designers who so willingly joined in on the hop, and thank you for celebrating with me.  Have fun! Tessa
