It's Time for the Blog Hop

Forget your winter blahs, and hop around the internet.  No need to get dressed, wear your robe and slippers.  To find the other participants, just click on the "Blog Hop Party" sign to the right of this post.  There are over 100 and all of them are offering a prize.  The party officially begins March 8th.
Here is the prize I am giving away.  You don't have to live in the U.S., I'll ship it anywhere the postal system delivers.



Yes, its one of the recycled jeans purses I described in my last post.

I haven't done one of these Hops for awhile, but its fun to see how many people stop by.  It's also fun to see where they are from.  So here are the rules:

  • To be eligible for the prize, you need to leave a comment on this blog.  In the comment, tell me where you come from.  
  • In order to leave a comment, you must follow my blog.  If you try to leave a comment and you are not a follower, it won't go through.  (See my previous post for the reason for this.)
  • I will have the drawing on Tuesday, March 19th, so you can leave your comment any time up until midnight on the 18th.  I'll announce the winner on the 19th and you can send me your mailing address.
Good luck to everyone!  If you don't win my prize, maybe you'll win something on one of the other sites!
I plan to visit as many of the others as I can.
