Birthday Bash Blog Hop! Week #1

Happy Saturday to all you fabulous Magnolia fans and friends! As you know the Magnolia-licious Yahoo Group is celebrating 2 years and we're having a splendid bash to celebrate over the next 8 weeks.

To kick Week One off the Magnolia-licious DT is having a Blog Hop today featuring Explosion Boxes (or what I like to call Happy Surprises) all featuring a birthday, anniversary or celebration theme!

Below is the official Blog Hop order to get you started on the right path--I know you will have a joyous and fun time hopping along to see the DT's creations. We hope to inspire you and get your mojo juices flowing, because there is always a challenge and a prize at the end of the hop! (see end of post for challenge rules)

**BLOG HOP BEGINS on 5/15 at 4 am EST**

Not sure what an explosion box is---well here's sneak peek of one of them!

  2. Suzanne and the DT, Needless to say, thank you for all your hard work in creating all of the explosion boxes. There certainly is a lot of talent in this group. I really enjoyed the blog hop. I found it to be very inspirational. And, of course, "Thank You" to the Mods for all of their "behind the scenes" work as this blog would not happen without their efforts. Happy 2nd Magnolia-ious Blog Birthday!!

  9. I'm loving all the explosion boxes. Did you know there is an explosion box yahoo group? Not active particpation and chatting, just directions and such. I joined that group over 6 years ago. I'll be heading to my craft room to try my hand at making a new shape of box...hopefully, it'll work out!
