StampingBella 'Love Me Do' Blog Hop

"Love, love me do. You know I love you. I'll always be true. So please, please, please...love me do. Ooh oh. Love me do." Am I the only one who hears her father singing instead of the Beatles? My dear dad was infected with Beatle-mania years ago, and it was like watching a kid in a candy store when he opened up the entire Beatles anthology at Christmas, courtesy of my mom (and her *friends* at QVC!) LOL! I know, I know. My anecdotes are not why you're here..........

Welcome to the LOVE ME DO Blog Hop sponsored by Stamping Bella! If you've just happened upon my blog, you can start from the beginning at Bloggabella. If you are hopping along and arrived here from Mary's blog, you are on the right track!

When I saw that Stamping Bella was hosting this blog hop, I immediately thought of this image - Jugglabella! I think my favorite thing about Valentine's Day is that in addition to reminding us to make sure that we tell those close to us just how much we care, it gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect on just how much love we are blessed with. We have to keep a lot of balls in the air, but love is the ball we have to be most certain of not dropping.

In addition to the fabulous eye candy, Stamping Bella is hiding a prize somewhere along the hop! One blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a $25 Gift Voucher to Stamping Bella!!! The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! The winner will be announced on Friday in the Stamping Bella Splitcoast forum. Thanks so much for stopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to the lovely & talented Carisa.

MWAH & Happy V-day,
