Well hello there hoppers! If you are following the Design Dollies trail and have just arrived from Kristy's Corner of the Studio...then you've come to the right place!
Welcome welcome!
Welcome welcome!
If you are here by chance (or just because you love me).....then c'mon - jump on board the
Design Dollies Blog Hop Event!
At worst you'll get to surf the blogs of a group of ultra talented and very lovely scrappers....and at best you'll win a truckload of loot!
Design Dollies Blog Hop Event!
At worst you'll get to surf the blogs of a group of ultra talented and very lovely scrappers....and at best you'll win a truckload of loot!
Now wonderful peoples, the main point of this hoppy adventure is to tell you more about the wonderful Design Dollies challenge blog...and of course, the fab team who puts it all together for you every week (3 times a week in fact!)....including Moi!
We've all created a special little Getting To Know Us project......and here is mine:
Now it's your turn. Up for a little game?
Here's what you need to do:
1. List 5 things about YOU that most people wouldn't know;
AND
2. Guess which doll in the Design Dollies title bar belongs to me (we have each selected our own dolly that we think represents us);
AND
3. Leave comments at ALL the other Dolly's blogs, INCLUDING the main Design Dollies blog so we know you've completed the hop. (Even if you don't fancy playing all the other games/challenges on the other Dolly's blogs, you still need to visit them and leave a comment so you are eligible for the ones you do play along with.)
Everyone who plays (even if you don't guess my Dolly correctly), will be put in the draw for this yummy prize pack that includes some of my fave-est embies....
For an EXTRA prize I just know you're gonna want, become a Follower of Scissors Paper Pen, and you'll go into a second draw. Yay!
If you're already a Follower (bless you!) make sure you note that in your message to me.
No need to rush. You have the whole weekend to complete the Blog Hop......
for us Aussies that's midday Monday,
and for our friends from the US, 10pm Sunday evening.
So stay a while, have a browse around, check out my BIO here (maybe pick up some clues to guess my Dolly), add me to your faves and keep on the look out for those fabulous
Colour, Sketch and Elements Challenges that each happen once a week at the Dollhouse.
To start at the beginning of our fantasmagorical Blog Hop.....or if you get lost......go here to the Design Dollies Blog for directions.
Have fun on your travels.....
say hi to her for me!
Boing......boing......boing......
What fun! Boing, boing, boing!
ReplyDeleteLoving your amazing 'very Penny' layout! Hehe, love the choc-icecream comment, how old were you when you did that?
ReplyDeleteKaren - ummm, I wish I could say I was a didn't-know-any-better kid. But I would have been about 24! What's worse, I was alone and trying to avoid a uni essay!
ReplyDeleteHiya Pen! Love the new page!
ReplyDeleteOk, 5 things no-one should know about me:
1) I have a scar from being attacked by a low flying owl (ok silly things we do..)
2) I love my purple and green sari silk skirt and try to wear it to everything possible, because its fun to wear!
3) When I was in primary school, I loved salt'n'vinegar potato chips dipped in chocolate Yogo.(ok so I have outgrown that!)
4) Secretly, one day I would love to drive a monster truck! Complete with jumping over derelict cars and caravans. ;)
5)I belly dance everyday in the secrecy of my loungeroom, but only with the curtains down.. complete with the jingly belt!
As to which dolly is Pen, well I would like to hazard a guess at the cutie in the polka dot dress!, the apple style clip in the hair seems very Penny!
Love the blog hop! Will pop back in later

ReplyDeleteUmmmm, 5 things about me........
1. My middle name is just truly aweful in this day and age, but was quite pretty when I was named "Gaye"
2. I don't eat peas because I don't like the 'pop' they make in your mouth when you bite them.
3. I don't eat corn for the fact that they also 'pop' and can be easily confused with peas once in my mouth
4. I like washing the clothes, but I don't like folding and putting them away
5. Some days I seriously contemplate giving away years and years of Uni to be a stay-at-home-mum.
