There is an ADDED BONUS from me: I have an extra copy of Melanie's adorable Hip To Be Square set. I will pick a random commenter from one of the blogs below and I'm not telling you which one :-). So, leave some love to all the participants. If I don't hear from the winner within 24 hours, I will draw another winner. The contest is open until Friday at midnight, CST and I will announce the winner on Saturday morning. Happy Hopping!
