Blog hop

Welcome to the Meg’s Garden Design Team Blog Hop!

if you arrived here from  Chantal’s (http://girlsjustwannascrapbook.blogspot.com.au)

   you are on the right way

We are circling the globe this weekend.  We start in the Adelaide Hills at Meg’s Garden in Hahndorf, South Australia & then head down the hill to Adelaide to visit Adriana, Heather, Chantal & Denise. We then hop almost all the way across Australia to Ashby, Western Australia to Jen.  After a long hop across the ocean to South Africa we visit Evgenia.  Then North to Sylvie in France, Lill in Sweden, & Elena in Belarus.   Another long hop across another ocean to Canada where we pop in to Stephanie & Vicky.  Back down under again to Sandrine in Queensland, Shell in Victoria, then to Victor Harbor to blog at Gayle’s in South Australia & then up the hill back to Meg’s Garden.

How many time zones was that??

Each blog hop will have an Eye Candy especially chosen by that blogger from Meg’s Garden!

These will be shown on www.megsgarden.com and also on that Design Team member’s blog.

 Meg’s Garden is also giving away one goodies package to one lucky winner chosen from those who survived the oceans, desert & maybe some snow!

Mark your calendars for the

Meg’s Garden Design Team Blog Hop!

one of the longest Blog Hops ever done – around the World.

From Wikipedia:  ‘Phileas Fogg is the main fictional character in the 1873 Jules Verne novel ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’.

Fogg attempts to circumnavigate the late Victorian world in eighty days, or less, for a wager of £20,000 with members of London’s Reform Club.  He takes the wager and leaves with Passepartout, vowing to return by 8:45 pm on Saturday 21 December 1872. Under suspicion of robbing the Bank of England,  he is followed by a detective named Fix. Fogg has no idea about Fix's true intentions and Fix (wanting to get Fogg back to England so that he can arrest him) works with Fogg in the last half of the book.

While in India he saves a widowed princess, named Aouda from  Suttee during her husband's funeral. Passepartout rescues her and she accompanies Fogg for the rest of his journey. She and Fogg eventually fall in love and marry at the end of the book. Fix, who is really supposed to arrest Fogg, attempts to sabotage him by putting him in prison near the end of the book but he is quickly released. Fogg, who has been careful to keep track of every day in his diary, believes that he arrives home on Sunday and that he has lost his bet. However, he discovers, almost too late, that he has forgotten to adjust his timekeeping for having crossed the International Date Line and he wins his bet after all.’

Phileas Fogg had 80 days to circle the globe - we are allowing 4 days only but we have an advantage over his modes of travel – he had to catch trains, ride an elephant, an air balloon & more....

Make sure you complete the list – become a follower, like us on FB & leave a comment – at each blog.

Starts 30, November 2012 for 3 days at 5:00 p.m.

Eye Candy at each blog & a prize at the end !!

 

Busy hands

Wow its been a month since my last post, how quick the time has flown buy wont be long and it will be Christmas. I am slightly ashamed that I have been neglecting my blog and am looking forward to having a little more spare time coming my way.

Favourites

I'm visiting Magnolia down Under this week, the girls have kindly let me join in on the challenge
as I haven't got my Copics out for awhile I was feeling the urge to colour and use one of my new stamps.
This weeks challenge is to use your favorite colours, what are mine I asked as they change over time I thought I will go with what I am enjoying at the moment and what colour card stock I am always running out of.
My colours are Plums Cream and Blue

 a little treat I bought two days ago some bling with a bit of old world charm

drop on over and check out what all the lovely DT girls have made at Magnolia Down Under
