Rusty Pickle

Rusty Pickle's Holiday Blog Hop!!!

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!!!!
