Hello Everyone!

I want to welcome everyone to the 11th destination of

We have 21 AMAZING blogs for you to visit this weekend, each with some gorgeous projects created using the Gecko Galz collage images, that we are giving you for FREE! Each blog you visit will have another free Gecko Galz Collage sheet for you to download. 

The one here is

"HALLOWEEN NIGHT."

Also make sure you collect all of the “secret” words on each blog so at the end of the hop you can send in the phrase to enter our drawing for a wonderful treat.  So sit back, relax, take your time and enjoy the hop!

We have FOUR amazing prizes up for grabs:

Read on to learn how you can win!

First of all, you will need to visit all of the 21 blogs and leave a comment on each blog. :) This is important so we know you have been to all the blogs. 

Collect all 20 words (one on each blog site except the home site) and at the end of the blog on the Fripperies and Butterflies site there will be a link to email the phrase to Gecko Galz. This enters you in the contest. On November 3rd we will randomly draw the 4 winners and email each of you, then we will post the winning names on the Gecko Galz blog site.

Welcome to my blog! And welcome to the 7th Annual Mad Tea Party sponsored by A Fanciful Twist.

It is my first year participating, very exciting! I wasn't able to implement all of my plans for the day, due to hubby spraining his ankle badly this week, but I wanted to share a wonderful little banner I made for the Gecko Galz Cross Promotion event with A Wild Abandon. Check out Gecko Galz for more pieces created using products from these wonderful companies!
