Stamp of the Month Blog Hop -- Through the Year

Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

If you came from visiting Priscilla Gotham, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon my little corner of the blog world, simply start here and continue hopping until you return here -- our fun hop is one big loop for your viewing pleasure. 

The month's featured stamp set is S1711 Through the Year (pictured below).  This set is only available until November 30th and is only $5 with a $50 Close to My Heart purchase.

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you... when I first saw this month's SOTM, I wasn't a big fan.  I actually considered not buying it.  But now that I've played with it, I am so HAPPY I did!!  This set is so much fun and really encouraged me to think out of my "normal stamping box".
