amysings · 06-13-2009, 10:23 AM

Great job, everyone! Loving all the projects!

Lyssa · 06-13-2009, 11:11 AM

I'm off to hop! Can't wait to see some good ideas for much-loved sets, and maybe see if there's another one or two I just haveta haveta have. lol

ceejayelle · 06-13-2009, 12:09 PM

I went right through and was really impressed... now there are sets on the retiring list that I want buy darn it! I haven't left comments yet because I'm battling off a migraine but I will do!

HollyLogic · 06-13-2009, 04:36 PM

{ceejayelle} Feel better and come back to the hop when you can, hon!

shawnamaxwell · 06-13-2009, 09:53 PM

I loved all the wonderful bogs! Everyone is so creative!!!

rhondastamps · 06-14-2009, 12:03 AM

Wonderful job everyone! I enjoyed the cruise!!!

pcjc629 · 06-14-2009, 06:38 AM

I had a chance to cruise on the Bon Voyage Blog Hop last night. I didn't have much time, so I had to roll along quickly, but did manage to get through all the blogs. I will go back later and look at the projects more closely when I have more time. I just wanted to say, though, that the projects I saw were amazing! Everyone's blog looks great!!! I, too, am now wanting some MORE of those retiring sets (darn it!). I just ordered two on my last order, Prehistoric Pals and Frames with a Flourish, so it was really great to see that both of those sets made the blog hop.

This was my first time doing a blog hop. Honestly, I had never even heard of a blog hop before I joined SA a few weeks ago. It was so much fun hopping from one blog to the next. I liked the "surprise" of seeing which SU! set was going to be featured on the next blog. The whole process was organized so well and the projects were wonderful! Thanks to all of you who made this blog hop possible! I really enjoyed it!

yapha · 06-14-2009, 08:14 AM

Thanks all for your kind words!

Roseolson · 06-14-2009, 03:12 PM

I had to go back and double check because I just got threw them all so fast I thought I skipped some. #34 blogs sounded like a lot more than it actually was. They were all wonderful. I didn't leave individual comments because this has just been a really crazy weekend so I am hoping you all read this. Thank you to everyone for the hard work and sharing such wonderful ideas!

LisaBee · 06-14-2009, 06:54 PM

Beautiful projects ladies!!! Thanks for sharing.

Lyssa · 06-14-2009, 07:41 PM

I only got through nine sites yesterday as I was really trying to pay attention. Hope to finish them all tonight!

Carmen · 06-14-2009, 08:57 PM

I did a quick run through and they are all great!! Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to make comments.

catrules · 06-15-2009, 11:31 AM

I finally home and caught up from my weekend away! I got through the blog hope and you ladies rock! Awsome job and thank you to those that commented on my blog!

scrapshappen · 06-15-2009, 03:05 PM

just finished the hop. Great projects out there ladies.

HowManyCats?! · 06-15-2009, 05:01 PM

I had out of town guests all weekend so didn't get to 'cruise' until this afternoon (I was DYING to look sooner but opted to be a good hostess instead! LOL)

Everyone blogs look so great! And it was so easy to navigate! WooHoo!

mariemc · 06-15-2009, 05:16 PM

This was a fabulous hop - everyone's posts looked great!!!

BeckyG · 06-15-2009, 07:03 PM

Great job on the hop ladies! Wonderful ideas. Thank you all for the time and effort it takes to put something like this together. It is much appreciated.

Debbi · 06-15-2009, 07:07 PM

Still working my way through - everything I've seen so far is awesome!

Lyssa · 06-15-2009, 09:25 PM

I made it to 26 but I have to stop.... everything's running together. I am so tired. hopefully I'll have more time tomorrow night. It's all awesome!

EmptyNestMom · 06-15-2009, 11:51 PM

This has been so much fun! I'm so thrilled I was able to catch this round (missed the papers). GOLLY, I tried to get to each page while still trying to pay close attention while there, (ya know - to bookmark them all), JUST IN CASE!!! Once that was done I've been spending hours, and hours going through everyone's page. Tomorrow I'm going to simply HAVE to set aside loads of HOURS to get through the all the rest, giving everyone the attention they truly deserve. My sincere apologies to everyone here that I didn't leave comments today, but I promise to do so tomorrow. Thank you everyone for such a delightful tour, and a greatnway to spend manys parts of my day, and..eh-hem, my entire evening! <g>

Debbi · 06-16-2009, 08:48 AM

Finally had a chance to finish the Hop. All I can say is wow! You ladies are so clever and creative! Thanks for sharing your projects.

HollyLogic · 10-06-2009, 06:28 PM

rhondag · 10-07-2009, 04:12 PM

I had to give it a title...sorry Holly! Thanks for your hard work!
