Friends Of Unity~ December Blog Hop


Hey there! 
Welcome to Robyn's Nest! 
I cannot believe this, but it has been a full year since we started this blog hop! Our love of Unity Stamp Co has brought a few of us together, and we have all become fast friends! 
So, we decided that December's cue should be
 "Thank You" 
I want to thank the constant supporters of this hop
 and mention my choice of top 3  here in my post..
Even though I appreciate each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart

Rebecca Yahrling &
C G Hundley
 you both comment on MY blog even when I post for CLC,
 so I'm also going to send you a "little something"
 not much, but a thanks for your support!!!Please message me your addresses, ok

and last of my top 3 is....
Cindy Holmes
 
Cindy!! I love all your sweet, and detailed comments ..
You don't know how encouraging it is for us/me to read them!
 This is my first year of blogging, too, along with being in the Friends Of Unity Blog Hoppers, I am also on the design team at Coffee Loving Cardmakers. Blog comments let me know you like what I'm doing :)
So thank you, Cindy!!
I am going to be sending all 3 of you a stamp set from my stash...it's random but I will need for you to message me your addresses on FB messenger,  ASAP and I will get them out on Monday Dec 3rd
I also want to just give a shout out to thank the other ladies who have been with us from the beginning.
.I'd love to send ALL of you a little something, too, but as we have stated before, we are not sponsored by Unity, so all these giveaways are on us.
 The stamps, and shipping costs too!
 We do it because we want to 💕

  11. Oh my, you've made my day with your kindness! And brought me to tears; you're so sweet! So unexpected, thank you. I always enjoy commenting on designer's projects as much as I can. There never seems to be enough time to do so and I probably won't get to comment on all the projects at the CLBH this go around, drats!! lol
    I love the Earthiness of your card with the kraft & burlap with just a hint of color with the pretty flower. Gorgeous design, too. hugs, Becca

  17. I LOVE the rustic look of your card Robyn, with the kraft and burlap. I think we were channeling each other with the inking on kraft. And that flower is lovely. Great minds think a like.(lol) And so sweet to thank your supporters. We definitely notice when we see the same names over and over leaving such kind and supportive comments. It definitely is heartwarming. Just wonderful inspiration and I am thankful to you and all the FOU girls. Happy Holidays!

    1. Kim, my favorite cardstock is from
      Papertrey Ink. If you've never bought from them, they have a 2piece each assortment package for only 15.00 you get 2 of each color they sell 72 sheets.. It is the heaviest cardstock I've used. I highly recommend it...their Mix n Mat dies are awesome too :)

  36. It's a lovely card! I love the rustic feel and how the blue of the flower works so well together. I didn't know the hop has only been going on for a year. I joined the show & tell November 2017. When I saw the hop the following month I just assumed it had been a long standing thing. I have truly enjoyed the hop and inspiration I find here.
