New Year's Updates

Happy New Year's everyone!!!  I hope you all had a fantastic holiday and are as ready as I am to get back into crafting full-on!  I am so excited about the year ahead, as far as crafting goes anyway. ;)  I am part of two (soon to be three - but it's a secret as of yet) wonderful design teams including coordinating for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog (FCCB) and using paper piecing patterns created by the awesome Nikki of Paper Piecings by Nikki. I am blessed to have the nicest, most caring teammates ever on both teams!  I am a lucky girl. ;) I will get you info to sign up for our fanpage  soon.  That's where most of our (Nikki's) action takes place.

If you haven't noticed yet, take a look at the right side of my side-bar and check out the awesome blog hops I'm participating in this month!  I have several scheduled for the rest of the year and will be adding the buttons as I get them from the coordinators.  I am also hosting my VERY 1ST BLOG HOP on my birthday February 28th!  I already have about 35 people or so signed up for this one and a few awesome sponsors, but I am in need of some more sponsors and I will allow anyone in, who wants to be in.  Leave me a comment with your email and Facebook name (if you have one) so I can add you to the group. :)  I am also in need of someone to create a blog hop button for me.  I would love it to incorporate black, white, and hot pink as those are my colors. ;)  Some balloons or something would be nice to.  It's to be called Amy Jo's Birthday Bash & Blog Hop.  For more info, leave a comment. :0)

Next up, I will be drawing the winner of my 500 followers blog candy!  Yep!  It's definitely that time...  Don't cha think?  Also, (very embarrassingly) I have hops that I haven't drawn the winners for all the way back from OCTOBER!!! OMG,  there are going to be some very surprised ladies when I do those drawings.  I am hoping to have that post up with all the winners to all the hops on Wednesday the 3rd so please come back for that!  I will be in a hop on Tuesday so I don't want to do it then and have it interfere.

I have a lot more to share with you all, but I will do it in bits and pieces so as not to bore you to death in one post. ;)  Thanks to each and every one of you for making this past year so great for me... for your kind words, thoughts and prayers... for your kind comments and for following my blog and keeping me going.  I appreciate and love you all.  I wish you nothing but happiness and the best life you can live this next year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S FRIENDS!  Muah!

XOXO ~ Amy Jo
