Welcome Holiday Hoppers!!! We are glad you decided to Blog Hop with us this weekend. Tis' the season to be jolly and creative. As you decorate for the Holidays and look for creative ideas for gifts, our talented Chefs have some ideas to share.
All of our Chefs will have their creations and links published TODAY by 1pm MST (Pickle Time) and you will have the entire weekend to participate in all of the fun. For you first time "Hoppers" this is how it works. You start here at the Rusty Pickle Blog and "Hop" across visiting a series of Blogs where each will link to the next "stop". Each Chef will have a Rusty Pickle creation to share for inspiration and will have a link to whatever Blog you should visit next. As a added bonus, after visiting all the Blogs, come back here and post a comment telling us what your favorite project was. On Monday, December 14th, we will be randomly selecting a winner to get a fabulous "Pickled Prize".
So get to hopping and “Hop” on over to our talented Dawn's Blog to see what she has created.
Enjoy and Have Fun!!!!
LOVE blog hops! :)

How fun is this...The projects are all awsome, but i'm in love with Dawn's calender... it's soooooo cute!

Really enjoyed the hop! I loved both of the Christmas houses - one by Brenda and the one by Cathleen (especially the Santa on the rooftop) but Dawn's calendar just really caught my eye!

I really enjoyed the blog hop. I got lots of inspiration from all those chefs. My favorite to try to duplicate is the advent calendar by Dawn. I am hoping to have it done by next Christmas.... But both of the houses were cute also. And the star from Pamela and the stocking holder...well, I guess I liked them all. Thank you Rusty Pickle for the blog hop.

I loved both Dawn's advent calendar and Cathleen's little house. Too cute with the Santa and reindeer flying along the rooftop.

This blog hop was INCREDIBLE!!! I can't decide which is my favorite project...was it the house with the riendeer on the roof...or the glass balls....or maybe it was the garage redo! Oh, I just can't decide, they were all beautiful and very inspiring! Thank you!

My two favorite projects were Dawn's advent calendar and Mandie's mini brag book. All of the projects were fabulous however.

I enjoyed all of the eye candy along the blog hop. My absolute favorite project is Cathleen's altered house. I just love all the details like Santa on the rooftop and the tree in the window.
