Hey everyone. I’m so excited to be participating in the Seasons Giving Blog Hop again this year. This is the seventh year Latisha has so willingly put this blog hop together and I thank her for her generous time and effort. If you are new to the Seasons Givings blog hop, it’s all about thanking our readers for supporting us throughout the year. It also gives us a moment to reflect on the previous year and how we have grown in this paper crafting community and in our friendships. There are some amazing participants in this hop and a few of them I get to call my dear friends. Make sure to swing by each blog as there are companies and participants that are giving generous prizes away.
Reflecting on 2018 has been joyous as well as heartbreaking. I have shared some really get projects with you and had the phenomenal opportunities to work with some amazing companies. I have grown in my crafting and reached some very special goals that I can check off my list. I’ve also experienced some difficult times as I lost my Dad this year and my side kick Missy Girl (our beloved toy fox terrier). Throughout these difficult times, many of my crafting friends made the loss of my loved ones bearable and I can’t thank you enough. Your prayers for strength has helped me tremendously. As I look forward to 2019, I’m embracing change, new friendships and new adventures. I hope to take you along that journey with me here on my blog. Starting 2019 I am now at www.gotjoycreations.com instead of www.gotjoycreations.blogspot.com. You can still few older content on my blogspot but all new content will be here. I hope you will subscribe to my blog and continue to enjoy what I post. I made a card to ring in the new year. I used the Concord and 9th Notable Numbers stamp set and Ink On 3 gold rush embossing powder for my numbers and the Simon Says Stamp Mosaic star stencil for a pretty background for my card. I added a few white, gold and black sequin to finish off my card today.
For my giveaway today I have several stamps and dies I would love to share with one lucky winner. You can comment below for your chance to win from today through midnight (EST) January 5, 2019. One lucky winner will be contacted and an address will need to be provided. (Sorry only USA shipping for this giveaway).
Listed below are the participants and stores joining in this year. Grab yourself your favorite beverage and having fun along the hop. Thanks again for all your support and love in 2018. Can’t wait to see what 2019 brings for all of us.

Great giveaway! Love your creations! thanks for the chance to win!
I’m sorry that you lost your dad and doggy. I lost my sweet Mickey Mouse on February 26, 2018. He was one of the very best parts of my life, so I am still getting over losing him. We named him Mickey Mouse because of his sweet, FUN personality, and because he had the markings on his face like MM. I hope that you find another dog that you love…
I like the gold on black. It’s a great look. It must have been really hard to lose your Dad and your dog in one year. Hopefully crafting will lift your spirits and help you to get through it fully. This next year I would like to spend less time on the computer and more time crafting.
Beautiful details on your work! Love the gold. Thanks for the opportunity to win some new stuff!!!
Happy New Year Dana, love the card! Best to you on your new 2019 adventures, look forward to receiving your updates in email!

Beautiful work and Happy Crafting in 2019.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful talents and inspirations. I love your style. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Hope 2019 is a year filled with blessings.
love your card. Love the gold on the black. Happy New Year. Losing a pet is hard – losing a member of the family!
First of all, I am so sorry about the loss of your father and your fur baby. Losing your dad is a hard thing, a daughter and father have that special relationship that you can’t have with your mom. I lost mine 30 years ago when he was barely 56 and I was 30. I miss him every single day. Losing your fur baby is so awful. I was out of work for a week when I lost my first. My heart goes out to you for both losses.
Now, your card is super awesome. Happy New Year to you and your family. Also, your giveaway is really generous. Thank you for being so terrific to think of us!!
Cute card. Wishing you the best in 2019.
Happy New Year! Hope 2019 treats you better than last year. Love you creativity.
Sorry about your dad and your furry friend. It is hard. Thanks for being a pet of the hop
