High Hopes Hullaballoo!!!
OH you are going to be SO glad you stopped by here today!!! We've got something exciting to share with you all!!! It's called the High Hopes Hullaballoo!!!!
As most of you know, High Hopes will be releasing about ....ohhh I don't know...like 75 new images and sentiments this weekend!!!! Well, since it's so hard to wait (we stampers are an impatient bunch, aren't we??) until they actually go up on the website, we thought we'd share a few High Hopes peekie-poos over the next three days!!!! Whaddya think about that????
SOoooooo, several of the Divas will be sharing peeks from the new release on their blogs and galleries each day!! So hop around and see who's got 'em!! The list of Divas is on the right hand side there!!!
The new images will go live on the website at midnight on Saturday night/Sunday morning, but until then, hop around for some eye candy!!! (Can I just say that this is my favourite release yet???) Heehee!!!
