Hunka Hunka Burning Love Blog Hop 8/31/12

Its a Hunka Hunka Burning love with our tribute to Elvis Presley at Hearbreak Hotel but you better be careful or you will end up at Jail House Rock because I Was the One and Love Me Tender with the Memories as I Was Crying in the Chapel with Suspicious Minds because you ain't nothing but a Hound Dog but I Can't Help But Falling in Love with you as you are Always on My Mind and I'm All Shook Up while I wearing my Blue Suede Shoes and please please please Don't Be Cruel .

Elvis also sang beautiful gospel music which was truly Amazing Grace not to mention saying his Evening Prayer which proclaimed How Great Thou Art! I Believe that In the Garden for Just a Closer Walk for Just a Little Talk with Jesus to be Nearer My God to Thee.

Elvis Aaron Presley a (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century.

Lots of memories for those of us that were around during that time but his memory lives on with his music and movies ... there isn't a Saturday without an Elvis Presley movie on with his beautiful co-stars such as Ann Margaret! There isn't an oldie station that doesn't have an Elvis song playing and we all have our favorites!

This blog hop is to show a tribute to an American icon, Elvis Presley through his movies, his music and his swivel hips!!! Sit back and get the rabbit ears adjusted to watch our really big show!!!!

If you came in your pink cadillac to visit today, Mama's happy and would love to serve you some peanut butter banana pie but we would love for you to begin at the beginning with Lynne at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/. You should have arrived from Lynne ~ http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/.

My project is a card that I designed the hound dog on the front of the card. You can find this pattern for sale at http://scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/. The inside of the card says "You ain't nuthing but a hound dog and you ain't no friend of mine. One of my favorite songs from the King. Hope you like it.

Your next act is being provided by Kimberly ~ http://scrappingrookie.blogspot.com. Thank you, thank you very much. . .

I Believe There Are Angels Among Us Blog Hop 8/29/2012

Oh I believe there are angels among us

Sent down to us from somewhere up above.

They come to you and me in our darkest hours.

To show us how to live to teach us how to give.

To guide us with the light of love.

I know for myself, that I have a guardian angel watching over me as she is my very own precious child that I had lost in 1991 and she would have been 23 years old today. Strange how comforting it is to know that someone watches over us in sew many ways.

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.

There’s always been someone there to come along and comfort me.

A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.

A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand.

Today's hop may be the story of our own Guardian Angel who watches over us, the beauty of angels, or just expressing kind words. The craft blogging world is phenomenal as sharing loving thoughts and caring towards others.

We have fabulous sponsors today:

Lucy Kelleher, A Close to My Heart representative, has graciously offered a stamp set called "Angelic Blessings" to one lucky winner that becomes a follower of her blog, http://love2createitall.blogspot.com

Daisy Collins of I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose, http://tsunamirosedesigns.blogspot.com/, also has a Zibbet store, http://www.zibbet.com/tsunamirose, where she designs beautiful papers - has graciously offered to custom design a paper for one very very lucky winner that becomes a follower of her blog!

If you were visiting me today, I appreciate and love you visiting me, but would want you to start at the beginning of the hop not as to miss a single angel with Lynne at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/. If you have arrived from Kimberly ~ http://scrappingrookie.blogspot.com/, then you are in the right flight!

My project is a card in which I made the digital stamp angel that I colored with color pencils. My guardian angel is my father who passed away of cancer when I was only 10 years old. This digital stamp along with the matching paper piecing can be found in my store at http://scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/. We are having a sale of 55% off our low prices by using the code, summer, at checkout. This sale is good until midnight, Aug. 31. So hurry before this great sale ends.

Your next stop along the way today is Lucy - http://love2createitall.blogspot.com. I thank you and appreciate you're stopping today and hope you stop again soon!

I have the complete line-up of the angels in the blog hop just in case you get off the chosen path!!!
