Season's Givings Blog Hop

Hi everyone! 

Happy New 2019 Year and welcome to the Seasons Givings Blog hop! 

First of all I want to thank you for sticking with me in 2018. I wish I blogged more, I wish I created more, I wish I made more videos, but through all my "failures" you stuck with me and visited my blog and left encouraging and wonderful comments. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

I am hoping I can fix that in the new 2019 year. 

2018 was probably the most stressful year in my life, aside from the civil war in Macedonia (back in the early 2000s when I was still living there),  there was a lot of running (for fun and to deal with stress), there was a lot of wine, too, there were a lot of tears, there were all nighters doing work, there were conference calls while on an airplane, there was a lot of single parenting as hubs was traveling a lot, there were happy moments, there were births, there were deaths...there was laughter, there were tears. There were old friends who stuck by me, there were new awesome friendships being built. 

And I am grateful for it all. 

To show my gratitude, I am giving away a prize package (personally purchased) as shown below , maybe I will throw in couple extra items. The prize package includes: Chameleon Pencils, Altenew set and die set, Reverse Confetti, Hero Arts, Amuse, Gina K, Concord and 9th, Catherine Pooler Designs sets plus few surprise items ;))) 

The giveaways is open to US residents only, or someone with US shipping address (due to the size of the package). 

To be eligible to win you much leave a comment by January 7th at 11.59pm and I will draw random winner and announce it here on January 9th.

And here are some of my favorite projects from 2018 using Hero Arts, Studio Katia, Catherine Pooler Designs, Concord and 9th. 

And in the spirit of the New Year I have a New Years or any celebration card for you using the Papertrey ink set called Kaboom. I stamped the images and sentiment with Versamark on black card stock and embossed with Hero Arts Gold Glitter embossing powder. Then spritzed with Sparkle shimmer spray and added some Catherine Pooler Designs Vegas Baby sequins. Next trimmed the panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to gold top folding note card!
