Baby Blog Hop

WE are having a BLOG HOP as well as a Challenge this fortnight!

This year our theme is - BABIES!

 This was when Owain had just been born in 1998 by
 C-section

This would be Josh with Owain when he was about 4 months old.

They are  21 and 16 where does the time go, but they will always be my babies.
Right back to business

We have some wonderful sponsors who have generously donated lots of goodies for you and our wonderful Hilde also has a freebie to give to you to use for the challenge if you want to - go to the main blog for this.

Our Sponsors for this Blog Hop are listed below but the twist is that they are associated with each individual member of the Design Team's blogs, so you need to go to their blog and follow the instructions to be in a chance to win. There is a prize for the Challenge winner as well and our normal TOP THREE awards. You do not have to go in the BLOG HOP as well as the Challenge, but what else have you to do with your time? Of course you will enter both!! However, you do have to be a member of this blog to be eligible for the Challenge and Blog Hop prizes.
