Operation Owl Thank you blog hop

Welcome to the "Operation Owl Thank You" Blog Hop!!

Today the Getting Cricky design team and some special guests are coming to you for a special blog hop "thanking" Kristal for all she has done for us.  We will each be featuring special "Thank You" card to be mailed to Kristal.
Our Design Team term is coming to an end and we just want to be sure to let Kristal know how much she has meant to us over the last 3 month.  Wow, how time flies when you are having fun.  If you are interested in participating, you can add your card to the link below and mail them to the address here.
I am the first and last stop for the Operation Owl Thank You blog hop, so please read on and get inspired.

We have some Blog Hop CANDY for one lucky WINNER!!!  
Amy Chomas has graciously donated a mini gel pen set and holder as our grand prize and some of the ladies have also added to the pot (surprise package).  


You must go to each blog and leave a comment (following would be nice also) to qualify for the grand prize.  Then come back here and tell me that you did so.  I will be picking one lucky winner on Wednesday, July 27th.  So make sure to come back here and see if you won.

I will also pick one lucky winner for leaving a comment and becoming a follower to win this Amazing You stamp set.
Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!

K Andrew Designs stamps are all made and assembled here in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained here in America.

I am featuring the "Amazing You" Stamp Art Set for today's hop.  
At least $1 goes to benefit Doorways for Women & Families ( an organization helping those escape and survive domestic violence)

I made this card for Kristal because I really do 
believe she is an amazing person.  Her thoughtful 
blog posts are always so delightful.  I can hardly wait 
to get an email update so that I can run over there and see 
what amazing thoughts she has in store for us that day.
She has been a blessing to me and I could have made 
at least 10 cards using this stamp set because she is
all of those things plus more.

Now head on over to Amy Chomas and check out what she has in store for you and if you get lost along the way, here is your lineup.    Don't forget to stop at each blog and leave a comment for your chance at the grand prize.  Good luck and enjoy!!!

  45. I guess I should have waited to ask my question until I finished the hop because I now know where I can send something for Kristal.

    Everyone did such an amazing job on their projects and gave such great inspiration. Kristal is such a special lady and I'm sure she loves you all as much as you love her.

    I have put in an application for DT because it would be so amazing to work with such talented ladies.

    Precious Hugs
