OUR FAVORITE THINGS BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Our Favorite Things Blog Candy Extravaganza! 


You should have just come from Liz's. If you are just joining the hop and want to start from the beginning, please start at Dena's. This is going to be an amazing event!  Many of you are familiar with Oprah Winfrey's famous "Favorite Things" show where audience members walk away with an array of fabulous gifts.  It was always so fun to see how excited the audience members got with each giveaway.  Well, if you've always wished you could sit in the audience of one of those show tapings, we have the next best thing for you!

Each participant in this hop is going to share a favorite of hers.  It could be a craft-related item or a non-craft related item.  In addition to that, each blogger is giving away blog candy!  This means you have a chance to win at every stop!

Each blogger has her own rules for winning her blog candy, so please be sure to read the rules on each blog for a chance to win.

My Favorite Thing right now is my new Vitamix! Isn't she a Beauty?! Thought I would go with a pop of color, I loved the red! Thank goodness for QVC & their easy pays..lol 

Without further ado, here is the project I created for this hop:



There are so many things this wonderful machine can do, I literally use at least once a day!
I love to make smoothies & have been trying all kinds, so I thought I would make a recipe booklet of my favorite ones.

LINKED TO INSPIRE ME FRIDAY
LINKED TO PINK CRICUT LINK UP PARTY
LINKED TO PASSIONATELY ARTISTIC
I have so many crafting Favorite Things, like my Cricut, which I used for the cover, I also love MCT stamps, so Gilby & I are giving away her Everyday Bingo & Crossword set.



All you need to do is leave a comment & a way to reach you, if you want to follow Gilby & I that's great, but it's not a requirement. We will pick the winner Tuesday night.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed what I shared with you today. Please be sure to hop on over to Robin's to see what she has to share with you and for more blog candy fun! Happy hopping and good luck to you!

Below is the entire blog hop lineup in case you lose your way:















Gilby & I love your comments...his tail just wags away when he sees me smile!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

  5. Wendy, I love your Vitamix and especially the color! I have a red kitchen. We see these at the state fair every year. My husband has drooled over them from day one. His bday is next month and I have been in a quandary of what to buy him. I have thought about this in the past and he thinks they are still too expensive, although I know he would use it all the time. He makes smoothly everyday during the summer and we could use it in the winter for soup. Thanks for the suggestion of QVC. I have never shopped there, so I will check it out. The smoothy recipe cards is a great idea. I love the Vitamix picture you made on the front. It is very cute! I am a new follower. tfs Tami
