My Little Shoebox Blog Hop!

Hi everyone, welcome to the MLS Halloween Blog Hop - this is the DT's opportunity to show off MLS's first ever Halloween collection. And what a cute one it is :) I decided to alter a snow globe to make a Halloween decoration. DD liked it, so I guess that's what counts! LOL






You can see the project in person, since I made a YouTube video about it. I had a really hard time getting good pics of the snow globe, so I think the video gives you a better idea of what it looks like.

And because I appreciate all you guys so much, I wanted to offer a little "Treat" of my own - the Halloween collection of course! To be entered to win, all you have to do is follow my blog through Google friend connect, and leave a comment on this post. I'm also giving away an alphabet and some felt pumpkin trim. You have until Sunday night to enter!

Now, hop on over to the next stop, the very talented Becky. And as you well know, each of us has a "secret" letter to share - make sure you collect all of them to get the "secret phrase" to be entered to win the grand prize. My secret letter is.... "L"

Be sure to check out all the blogs along the way to see what "Trick" or "Treat" the rest of the DT is offering! Here's the blog hop order if you lose your way:
