Paulette's Day Off Blog Hop

Paulette of Create with TLC recently turned the big 600! No, not her age, but the number of followers on her blog. Candy, who manages the Tlc Creations group on CDAC for Paulette, thought it was time she had a day off. Candy and a few followers are taking over Paulette's blog today and organizing a blog hop so Paulette could have some time away. Being as sweet as she is, Paulette didn't want to leave us (or you) empty handed and gave us 7 digis to give away while she is at play.

I am the first stop on the blog hop. Please visit the balance of the ladies to collect your free digis and then stop by Paulette's blog to leave your well wishes.

Here is the list of stops on the blog hop:


Cheryl (you are here)
Jennifer
Jeri
Marlene
Patricia
Candy
Patti

And then stop by Paulette's blog.


I received this fabulous sentiment from Paulette for today's blog hop. You should be able to right click and save to your computer. If you have any problems, please leave me a comment with your email address and I will email it to you. Unfortunately, I needed another sympathy card this week and I thought that this sentiment would be perfect. I didn't make the card too frilly because I am sending to a male coworker.






Before you hop on over to Jennifer's blog to see the eye candy she created for you and collect your next digi, I wanted to give Paulette a big THANK YOU for her generosity. Thank you to you too for stopping by my blog and hopping along with us.

What a pretty card! Thanks for sharing... I did have a problem downloading the word image on a few of the give-aways. I thought maybe it was because I had too much open on my computer, but I still have not been able to download the freebie word images after closing the multiple windows. Could you please email me the download or whatever has to be done? My email is: puttchen10@yahoo.com. Thanks so much!
