Welcome to the Top 10 Blog Hop - 2013 Edition. You should have arrived from Laurel Seabrook's BLOG. I am thrilled to be hopping along with many of my scrappy friends this year and am so glad you are joining us! In fact, I am so thrilled that I will be having a little give-away (more on that at the end of this post).
I loved looking back at the projects I created this year. I tried to narrow them down to my favorite 10, I really did! But, the closest I could get my favorites narrowed down was to a "lucky" 13, which just happens to correspond with the year. So, I went with it. I know - it's a Top 10 Blog Hop, and I am being a rebel and a rule-breaker; you aren't telling me anything my Grandmama didn't tell me at least a hundred thousand bejillion times growing up! But the heart wants what the heart wants. *smile*
So, without further ado, here are my Lucky 13 from 2013. I included the link to each original post just in case you want more details or close-ups:
(HERE AND NOW created for a Practical Scrappers Frugal Finds Challenge, using American Crafts papers)

Whew! Are you still with me? If you are, you may have noticed that several of my projects feature Pretty Little Studio papers. I have been extremely fortunate to be on the Pretty Little Studio design team and love, love, LOVE their products. So, if you are a follower of my blog AND leave me a comment telling me which layout you like best from my Lucky 13, then I will choose a winner by random drawing on Monday, December 30th to receive a $20 gift certificate to the PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO STORE!!!
Ready to keep blogging? Your next stop is KERRI YARUS.
Here is the entire list (just in case you get lost). Happy hopping!!!
