Welcome to the Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop for 2022. I am sure you all know how it works now - hop around the list of blogs and collect the letter each one has for you. They spell out a message which you can leave in a comment here for me. I have moderated comments so no-one will see them until 22nd April. Just to give everyone a chance to play along.
This year we are starting with:
Welcome to the April Gifted Gorgeousness link-up. The link-up date continues to be the 15th and I will keep the link-up open until the end of each month so you have plenty of time if you are late posting.
The format remains exactly the same, there is a list of rules on the main sign-up page if you want to check what is required but basically anything connected to the word "gift" is allowed, whether it was a gift TO you or is a gift FROM you.
My main gifted project is my Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow which is my focus project for the year. Last GG I had finished Block 3 and now I have finished Block 4! That was slightly quicker, only 15 days. The letters, lightning bolts and bats were much quicker than all the solid fill on Block 3.
Now it is your turn to show us your Gifted Gorgeousness for the month. Please use your name or your blog name in the field and NOT the words "April Update" so I can easily see who has linked up this month. And link to the actual post, not just your blog. It is easier if you copy and paste the link, rather than typing freehand.

Finally, don't forget to leave an encouraging comment on each blog you visit. There wouldn't be a Hop without all the lovely participants.
Thanks once again, Jo. I really enjoy the 15th of the month, and this year it's a double pleasure! A couple of the posts aren't up yet, but even so I can see that this year's phrase is 'Stop and smell the flowers'. So aporopriate!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the hunt and reminder to Stop & smell the flowers. Happy Easter. Your needlework is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh that was fun..and a very appropriate phrase for this year of Stop & Smell the Flowers...Thank you.
