*Our March Guest Designer Annette Rosing and get ready for a BLOG HOP!* :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Hi all.....

I wanted to stop in real quick and announce our guest designer for March! :):):):):):):):) Annette Rosing!!! I loveeeeee her style and so happy she is here to join us this month! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Here is what Annette has to say about herself! :):):):):):):):):):):)

My name is Annette and I live in Germany with my husband and my 13 year old daughter (and soon a brand new puppy ) !
I have been scrapping since my daughter was born.
My neighbor took me to my first scrapbooking class and I was soooo excited that I couldn't sleep that night.
 It has been my biggest hobby ever since!
When I'm not scrapping I love to cook for my family and I love to go for hikes & 
walks taking pictures which I will scrap  later.
I love to try new things and products and always include little details in my layouts. 
You can visit me on my Blog :   Scrap ''This"   
I'm so honored to be here as a guest designer!!!
 
 
 
Welcome Annette!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) And thanks to Nathalie for being our February GDT!! You are amazing girl! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

I also wanted to share that FAVE THINGS is going to be joining If Its Groovy for a BLOG HOP the weekend of April 7th! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
 
We will have a special challenge that weekend just for the BLOG HOP!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

And don't forget to play along with our latest challenge FAVE FEATURE!! I loveeeeeeeee what everyone has created so far!!! The challenge ends on the evening of the 13th...and I will announce the winner on the 14th!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
