Cuttlebug Challenge, Relax, Rejuvenate, Be Inspired!

Hello and welcome to our Cuttlebug Challenge Spa Weekend. We've got great things in store for you and you're gonna like what you see.

If you came here from Jenn M's blog , you're moving right along and I hope you're enjoying all the fun. If you came from somewhere else, pop on over to Eva's and get started. We are offering some amazing prizes and it's so easy to do.

Here's what you need to do to be eligible for the fab prizes we are offering. Visit each blog in order
-- "Follow" each blog
-- Leave a comment on each blog
-- Grab the name of the blogger
-- Grab the name of the blogger's flower
-- Email CBC with the name of the bloggers and flowers at the end of the weekend

To kick off the spa experience, we've been asked to share our favorite flower with you and tell you why it is our favorite flower and tell you what we like to do to relax.

My favorite flower is the Gerbera Daisy. I love it because, to me, it's a happy flower and it fits my personality to a tee. I am a happy person who loves life and most days you will find me with a great big ole smile on my face. Just look at those pretty colors! Now doesn't that put a smile on your face?





To relax I love to crank up the music on my stereo and dance and sing. It embarasses the kids, but it puts me in a good mood and helps me to unwind. I'd love to hear what you do to relax. Why don't you share it with me.

Now that you have all the facts you need about me, it's time to continue on with your journey. Your next stop on the blog hop will be at Libby's blog but don't forget to check back here on Sunday. I have a fabulous baby gift idea to share with you.

Don't forget! Our blog hop will be going all weekend with loads of projects and ideas to share with you. Here is a list of all the participants to make it easier for you to navigate.

    Gerbera Daisies are so bright and fun. I'll bet you are just like that! I've read your blog before and love it but not I am a "bonified" follower. Remember the girl in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou"??? Everything needed to be "bonified".

    I relax by working in my garden, or sitting in my backyard swing and watching the birds, bees, and flowers.

    This is my fav flower too!!! They come in so many shades and are always making me happy. I have been telling the other girls about the flower, but wasn't sure it was called Gerbera in english (as it is in Swedish)

    I take a hot bath to relax and if I want to get inspired I flip through my old english mags.

    Thanks for this great bloghop. I'm hopping on :)
